### New Blocks and Items * Added new machine: **Air Collector**: Features a capacity of 10,000 FE and an 8-bucket tank. It consumes 30 FE/t and collects 5 mB of air per tick. * Added new machine: **Liquid Cooler**: Features an energy buffer of 10,000 FE, consumes 35 FE/tick, and has two 10-bucket fluid tanks. * Added **Raw Uranium**, as well as a **Fan** and a **Heat Exchanger** as crafting components. ### New liquid * New liquid added - **liquefied air** (obtained by cooling air in a liquid cooler). Needed for producing nitrogen and oxygen. ### Changes and Fixes * Fixed machine configuration, fluid tank, and the rectification column render. * Optimized Electrolyzer functionality and its crafting recipe. * Changed machine configuration rendering in the code. * Changed Electrolyzer texture rendering in JEI. * Finally fixed machine configuration. * The Electrolyzer no longer accepts the Speed Upgrade, and shift+click support has been added to it. * Changed root package name from "com.kirsan122.assembly_expansion" to "kirsan122.assemblyexpansion". * Moved classes from the "kirsan122.assemblyexpansion.core.registry" package to "kirsan122.assemblyexpansion.common.init", except for the AETags class, which was moved to "kirsan122.assemblyexpansion.common.util". * Marked the GuiConfigHelper class as 'Deprecated'.

### New Resource A new resource has been added: **Uranium**, available as ore, dust, and ingots. It generates between Y levels -54 and -64, with the highest concentration at Y=-58. It only has a deepslate variant. Currently, mining the ore will not drop anything because I haven't managed to implement raw uranium yet. ### New Items * **Uranyl Nitrates**: Added normal, depleted, and enriched variants. They currently have no use. * **Gold Dust**: Added to the game. It is required for crafting recipes and allows you to double your gold yield. * **Advanced Circuit**: Crafted using a standard circuit, gold dust, and iron plates. Used in various crafting recipes. * **Bronze**: A new alloy available as dust, ingots, and plates. It can be produced in a Mechanical Smelter by fusing 1 tin unit and 3 copper units. ### New Machines * **Fluid Tank**: Holds up to 10 buckets of a specific fluid. It is crafted from tin plates, glass, and redstone. It retains its fluid and inventory when broken. * **Distillation Column**: A new multiblock structure consisting of 3 block types: a base, a section, and a top. To construct the structure, you need one base, two sections, and one top. The blocks are crafted from bronze, steel, and iron plates. The column is used for oil distillation, consumes 50 FE/t, and takes 5 seconds per operation. * **Electrolyzer**: A new machine used for splitting fluids. Currently, it can only split water into 2 new gases: hydrogen and oxygen. It consumes 25 FE/t and currently lacks a crafting recipe. I originally planned to add graphite, but decided to reconsider the idea later. ### New Gases: * Added **hydrogen**, **nitrogen**, and **oxygen**. They currently have no use, and nitrogen cannot be obtained at the moment. ## The Major Feature of this Version: **Radiation**! Every player in Survival or Adventure mode now has a hidden radiation scale that goes up to 10,000. Holding a radioactive item in your hand increases your radiation level with every tick. If the scale exceeds 10,000, you will die of radiation sickness. The most radioactive item is Enriched Uranyl Nitrate. You can protect yourself from radiation with a new armor set:Helmet: 15% protectionChestplate: 45% protectionLeggings: 30% protectionBoots: 10% protectionWearing the full set provides 100% protection. The armor is crafted from lead plates and rubber. All pieces except for the boots require yellow dye. ### Changes * Updated the texture and crafting recipe for the Circuit. It now requires iron nuggets. * Improved cable behavior. _Thanks for reading!_

## Innovations * **New ore.** A new resource has been added — lead, together with dust and plates. The ore is either regular or deep slate, generated in veins roughly 6 blocks long at heights from 52 to -64, with the best height for searching being -58. Currently, it is not used (but will be used for nuclear reactor components). * **Oil has been added.** It generates in lakes at heights from -16 to 32, with a spawn chance of 1 in 18 per chunk. Currently, it is not used (but will be necessary in the future for producing 4 other liquids). * **Added fuel oils: heavy oil (mazut), diesel, gasoline, and propane.** They, along with oil, do not burn and are currently just regular liquids without specific properties.They have no practical use at the moment. * **Two new devices have been added**: an **electric furnace** and a **mechanical sinterer**. The electric furnace works for 10 seconds, consumes 20 FE/t, has an energy capacity of 10,000 FE, and recipes similar to a regular furnace. Crafted from the basic frame, redstone, iron plates, and glass. The mechanical sinterer is used for producing alloys (currently only steel). Its main feature is steel production; it can also combine cobblestone or stone bricks with ferns, grass, or vines to produce mossy versions of blocks. Additionally, it can combine 2 quartz with diorite to produce 2 granite, diorite with cobblestone to get 2 Andesite, and 2 quartz with cobblestone to produce diorite. Diorite, granite, and andesite can be crushed in a crusher into quartz with a secondary product — cobblestone with varying probabilities. The base goes into the right slot, the addition into the left. Crafted from the basic frame, redstone, iron plates, and copper ingots. Both devices support upgrades: "Speed" and "Energy". * **Steel has been added.** It includes dust, ingot, and plate. 1 dust is made in the mechanical furnace by combining one iron ingot and two coal dusts. * **Coal dust has been added.** It can be obtained by crushing coal ore, coal, or a coal block, yielding 2, 1, and 9 dusts respectively. ## Changes and Fixes * **The mechanics of obtaining rubber have been simplified.** Now, once 1000 mB of latex is gathered in a bowl, 4 latex disks will appear immediately, and the latex will disappear. The latex disks melt into rubber instantly. "Rubber" and "Refined Rubber" are renamed to "Synthetic Rubber" and "Refined Synthetic Rubber" respectively — they are not used yet but will be in the future. * Textures of curcuit and battery have been changed. * Fixed rendering error of the energy bar of the crusher in JEI. * New recipes for the crusher: Plates can now be crushed into dust. The processing of stones has been added. Polished versions of diorite, granite, and andesite, as well as stairs, walls, and slabs, can be crushed into regular versions. Stone to cobblestone, smooth stone to regular stone. Slight modifications to item tooltips, such as changing the letter case in some labels. ## Major Mod Change — No More Gears!( I am abandoning gears for several reasons: 1. Extra Resources I don't want players to forget chests full of materials needed only for crafting (gears fall into this category). Assembly Expansion is conceived as a mod without grind and without tons of unnecessary items, but with moderately challenging resources. The mod already has plates, which I find sufficient. 2. Textures Gears are complex objects, and their textures are hard to draw. I've tried many options and settled on the current one, although I’m not entirely satisfied with it. However, if you liked the gears, there will be a poll in the #main section of my Discord channel to decide their fate. The changelog for one of the upcoming versions will include a brief description of the gears. For now, they have simply been removed from Creative Mode, though they can still be crafted and used via other mods. ## Technical Changes * The generator and crusher work have been optimized. * Registration of liquids has been changed — specifically, latex can now be represented by the FluidObject class, which contains basic properties and parameters, instead of creating 4 separate fluid objects.

- **Added a new ore: tin.** The regular variant is best found at Y=38; the deepslate variant at Y=-58. You can make ingots from it, and from ingots you can craft plates and gears. The gear is required to craft the basic machine casing. Plates currently have no use. - **Added a new tree: Hevea (Rubber Tree) with a full wood set.** Generates in swamps and jungles. - **Added a new resource: rubber.** Acquisition mechanics: find a rubber tree, cut it with a special knife, place a bowl on any lower block (but not at the same height as the log block), and wait for it to fill with latex. After 2 minutes, a latex disc will drop; smelt it in a furnace to obtain raw rubber. Raw rubber can be pressed into rubber, or you can wash it, smelt it again, and get more rubber. We’ll run a poll in the mod’s bug-hunting Discord channel about how complex the rubber acquisition mechanics should be. - **Added the Engineer’s Hammer,** crafted from 2 sticks and 2 iron ingots. Needed for crafting plates. - Added a **generator** that produces energy from almost anything that can burn, and a **Crusher**. For now, the Crusher is only used to double ores by crushing them into two dust equivalents. The Crusher has side configuration, and you can add two upgrades, “Energy” and “Speed,” which currently have no crafting recipes. - Added a battery, that can keep 2 kFE, and cicuit which currently have no crafting recipes.
