Greg is working on a big update
To be more informative than this guy I'll give some info:
- New food items like Cheese, chum, and fries
- More TFC compatibility (implements the different gem classes, Exquisite(highest) can be smashed with a Forge hammer into 2 Flawless(second highest), which can be smashed again into regular size gems, which are the ones you use for crafting stuff. The other 2 tiers can only be macerated into small and tiny dusts)
- A few new machines, one of them is the Sifting Machine, which gets you gems of varying qualities out of Crushed Purified ores. Exceptions to this are the types of quartz, and lapis, probably Sodalite and Lazurite too. They will just give multiple of the regular gem. Another machine is some kind of compact animal farm I think.
- Soldering Iron pls???
Also, now may be a good time to tell you all that IC2 has now got a config to enable power loss. It is apparently still buggy, and there's still no explosions, but it's almost here, and you have time to prepare before your base goes boom boom!
