Quenching to solid prevents falling into lava below. Amalgamation
can be harvested from the surface with silk touch of Lux-tier
tools.
Attempting to collect with lower Lode-tier tools will likely cause
the loose amalgamation to fall into the lava below, possibly
displacing a source node (if the pool is shallow enough) upward to
fill its spot, then the amalgamation below will melt and the source
node above will quench, so no progress is made.
It's possible to harvest using lode tools, in practice, by
digging down the side of a lava pool and quenching as you go,
until you reach the bottom...
"Amalgam" may imply a mercury alloy, which is
not true in this case; we're using it in the
"combination" sense, i.e. an amalgamation of
molten and solid stone.
Quench lava to amalgam and it can be moved
around like loose cobble. The tricky bit is that it
needs to STAY quenched at ALL TIMES, and is
not (currently) stackable, so water channels need
to be setup to transport it, and limited amounts
can be moved at a time.
It's also an igniter and thus will dry out sponges
left to keep it cool.
- Register def tables instead of bare funcs.
- Add labels for mod logic use.
- Automatically skip for singlenode mapgens,
e.g. for the skyblock modpack.
Treat all API mods as a "layer", and use the new
nc_api_all registration to indicate that a mod depends
on the NC API (which ALL NC mods assume they do).
This means that each non-API mod does not need to
worry about which API mods it really needs and which
it does not, nor will they need to be updated for any
internal API restructures.
This is a game, not a modpack, so all mods will be
loaded anyway, and we only care about order. That
means that we don't really need to worry about
having excess dependencies because any mod we
don't actually need will be needed by something that's
loaded anyway. If somebody wants to reuse a
component elsewhere, they're likely to need to do
some work to untangle it anyway, because of the
amount that NodeCore mechanics interact and
interdepend.
This created a ton of dependency inversions, which
necessitated moving a number of API functions up into
higher layers, and restructuring dependency lists for
a number of mods.
BOLO: non-deterministic load errors due to missed
dependencies.
- Intermediate number of stages.
- No dizzying rotation.
- Still has a blank first stage for emergency hand-dig.
- More reminiscent of isometric cube motif.
- Lines coming from center make it more "crack-like".
These are based on the nodecore "honeycomb", so they should at
least thematically match the other textures somewhat, even if
they're not super-attractive.
- Pack 8 leaves into 1 peat node.
- Leave peat nodes near soil and moisture to decompose further
into humus.
- Humus is a high-quality soil that works like dirt in most
ways, but grows trees quite a bit faster.
- Humus converts to dirt via grass (and eventually maybe other
plant cultivation activities).
- Collapse all nodecore "core" mods in the /mods listing, so it's
easier to find the actual add-on mods.
- Parameterize in-game branding to make renaming derivatives just
a little easier.
- Included new content.
- Partially converted to base on recipes instead of just items.
- Added support for group and toolcap checks.
Fixed a number of small bugs elsewhere in the process.
