ВЕРСИИ (5)

Three new machine tiers, full tier progression across every machine, JEI/Jade support, a Crucible terminal tab, and a complete visual overhaul for all four machines. ## New machine tiers & progression - Every machine (ME Smelter, ME Blast Furnace, ME Smoker, ME Crucible) now has the full Mk1-3 tier progression, upgradeable in place with a universal Upgrade Template → Mk1 → Mk2 → Mk3 kit chain. Upgrading keeps everything a machine was doing - cards, pinned recipe, in-progress work, fuel, and queue position all carry over. ## New visuals - Redesigned all four machines with new AE2-styled textures, each with its own distinctive front (a rounded viewport, a vertical grill, a bubbling molten basin, and a robotic face) and Iron/Gold/Diamond tier-themed variants. - Added a status-reactive rainbow emissive glow to every machine's front, cycling color while active and fading with machine status - the same effect as AE2's own ME Controller. - Refreshed the ME Smelting Terminal screen with live status indicators for all four queues. - Rebuilt the Fuel Efficiency Card and upgrade kit icons to match AE2's own item style. - New mod logo, rendered directly from the in-game textures. ## Terminal - The ME Smelting Terminal now has dedicated tabs for Smelting, Blasting, Smoking, and Crucible, so all four machine types' queues are managed from one terminal. The Crucible tab shows molten metal output as a fluid and lets you pull it straight from ME fluid storage. ## Integrations - Added optional JEI support - every machine's recipes show up in JEI, and every machine tier can be clicked to jump to its recipes. - Added optional Jade support - looking at any machine shows its status, current item, progress, and fuel level in the tooltip. - The ME Crucible's molten metal output now works with any mod's `c:molten_<metal>` fluid tag automatically, with its own fallback fluids otherwise. ## Fixes & performance - Fixed Fuel Efficiency Cards over-consuming lava at fractional rates. - Fixed completed jobs occasionally requiring extra fuel/power/AE energy before output could be inserted, or being cancelled by a queue-selection change first. - Reduced per-tick server load for terminal statistics and recipe-preview lookups. - Added survival crafting recipes and recipe-book advancements for every tier of every machine. - Added automated tests for processing math (fractional lava consumption, output-target limits).

# Applied Smelting 0.6.0 ## Added - Added survival crafting recipes for every tier of the ME Blast Furnace, ME Smoker, and ME Crucible. - Added matching recipe-book advancements. - Added automated tests for lava consumption and output-target calculations. ## Fixed - Fixed Fuel Efficiency Cards over-consuming lava at fractional rates. - Fixed completed jobs requiring additional fuel, lava, or AE power before inserting their output. - Fixed completed jobs being cancelled when their queue selection changed. - Fixed partially accepted outputs potentially being duplicated. - Fixed active processing jobs briefly being omitted from output-target calculations after reloading. - Added validation for invalid recipe amounts and processing times. - Made output-target calculations overflow-safe. ## Performance - Machines now cache active recipe results instead of repeating recipe lookups every tick. - Active machines checkpoint progress every 20 ticks instead of marking their chunk for saving every tick. - Shared queue capacity is now cached until machines or upgrade cards change. - Terminal statistics are aggregated once per machine family each server tick and shared between open terminals. ## Internal Improvements - Processing state is now persisted and preserved more reliably across saves and tier upgrades. - Centralised the in-place upgrade workflow across all four machine families. - Reduced duplicated machine code and improved future upgrade compatibility.

# Applied Smelting v0.4.0 Three new machines and a new power option for your ME network. ## New machines - **ME Blast Furnace** — processes Blast Furnace recipes (ores etc.) at double the ME Smelter's speed, with its own independent network queue. - **ME Smoker** — processes Smoker recipes for fast food automation, with its own independent network queue. - **ME Crucible** — melts ore and raw metal into molten metal, storing it directly in ME fluid storage. Automatically uses Productive Metalworks's molten metal fluids if installed, otherwise falls back to its own. ## Terminal - The ME Smelting Terminal now has dedicated tabs for Smelting, Blasting, and Smoking, so all three machine types' queues are managed from one terminal. ## Other additions - Sky Dust and Sky Stone Block can now be processed in the Blast Furnace, not just a regular furnace. - A third power option: draw lava directly from your ME network's fluid storage to run any of the four machines, alongside furnace fuel and AE power. ## Fixes - Status light no longer shows on the wrong face for machines placed facing east or west. - Machines missing fuel/power now say so, instead of showing the more ambiguous "waiting for a recipe."

- Added three higher tiers of ME Smelter — Mk1, Mk2, and Mk3 — sitting alongside the original as separate blocks with higher base speed, more upgrade slots, lower power draw, better fuel efficiency, and more network queue capacity the further you go. - Added a crafting chain to upgrade a placed ME Smelter in place: craft a Smelter Upgrade Template, then a Mk1 Upgrade Kit, then a Mk2 Upgrade Kit, then a Mk3 Upgrade Kit, each built from the previous one. Shift-right-click a smelter with the matching kit to upgrade it. - Upgrading a smelter keeps everything it was doing — installed cards, pinned recipe, in-progress smelting, fuel, and its place in the network queue all carry over, nothing resets. - ME Smelters (all tiers) now glow with AE2-style cyan conduit lines and status lights, brighter and more pronounced on higher tiers. - Tier stats (speed, power draw, fuel efficiency, upgrade slots, queue capacity) are now configurable, for modpack authors who want to rebalance them.

# Applied Smelting v0.2.0 This update turns Applied Smelting from a single-machine addon into a proper networked smelting system. Multiple ME Smelters can now share a work queue, fuel selection got a lot more flexible, and the terminal has been redesigned around a clearer, at-a-glance layout. ## Multiple smelters, one queue Connect more than one ME Smelter to your network and they'll automatically split up the work. Queue several recipes in the ME Smelting Terminal and your smelters will divide them up between themselves, working different recipes in parallel rather than all fighting over the same one. If an item runs out or a recipe hits its storage target, that machine picks up the next thing in the queue automatically — it won't sit idle while there's other work available. Don't want a particular machine following the shared queue? Right-click an ME Smelter while holding a smeltable item to pin that recipe to it permanently. It'll keep working that one recipe on its own, ignoring the network queue, until you unpin it (right-click again with the same item). ## Redesigned terminal The terminal now shows your queue as a simple grid — one column per queued recipe, with an arrow pointing from what goes in to what comes out. Columns light up while that recipe is actively being smelted, so you can see at a glance which machines are doing what. No more digging through status text to figure out what's going on. Queue capacity starts at 1 recipe and grows with Capacity Cards, up to 9 total. Slots you haven't unlocked yet are clearly darkened and explain what you need to unlock them if you hover over them. ## Choose your fuel from anywhere Fuel selection has its own tab now. Pick a fuel straight from your ME network storage, or grab one directly out of your own inventory or hotbar — whichever's easier. This works with any fuel your modpack adds, not just vanilla coal and friends. ## Power your smelters your way Each ME Smelter can now run in one of two modes: Item Fuel — burns furnace fuel from your network, same as before. AE Power — skips physical fuel entirely and draws AE energy straight from your network to provide the heat. Switch between them per machine depending on what your base has more of. More upgrade options ME Smelters now have 8 upgrade slots (up from 4), supporting: Acceleration Cards — up to 16x smelting speed Energy Cards — cut power use by up to 40% Fuel Efficiency Cards — stretch furnace fuel duration up to 200% Capacity Cards — grow the shared network queue, up to 9 recipes Redstone Cards — only run the machine while it's getting a redstone signal ## Also included Storage targets: tell the network to stop smelting once you've got enough of something (a target of 0 means unlimited) Everything — queue contents, fuel choice, power mode, pinned recipes, upgrades, and targets — survives closing the interface, reloading the world, or restarting the game A fix for smelters occasionally hopping between queued recipes instead of sticking with one until it actually ran out or hit its target ## Beta note Applied Smelting is still in early beta. Back up important worlds before testing, and please report anything odd you run into — especially on larger, busier ME networks.
