BREAKING CHANGES!

  • Cobblestone Structure Pipes have a new recipe. (asie)
  • Electronic Libraries have a new recipe matching the looks better. (asie)
  • Quartz Fluid Pipes no longer connect to Cobblestone or Stone Fluid Pipes. This might break existing builds! (asie)

NON-BREAKING CHANGES BUT STILL IMPORTANT!

  • [#2886] Server blueprints are now saved inside [world]/buildcraft/blueprints as opposed to config/buildcraft/blueprints/server. The old directory will keep working, however.

Additions:

  • Core:
  • New Lists! (asie)
    • Sort by type, material, or both! Precise sorting!
    • See with a tooltip if an item matches the List!
    • They can also sort armor, tools and fluids by type!
  • Transport:
  • Power Adapters! Connect Kinesis Pipes to non-Kinesis pipes. (asie)

Improvements:

  • Core/Any:
  • [#2345] Finish adding command localization (asie, warlordjones)

  • Use integrated server data in singleplayer for certain tiles - back to the smoothness of 1.2.5! (asie)
  • Builders:
  • Massive improvements to Builder logic and heuristics (asie)
  • Improved pipe rotation support (asie)
  • Factory:
  • Chutes now support the Comparator (asie)

  • Glass Facades no longer render the "plug" (asie)
  • Lenses do not require Iron Ingots anymore (asie)
  • New power beam display algorithm (asie)
  • Rewritten pipe wires - should now propagate more or less instantly. (asie)

  • Lists:
  • New list matching API for custom sorting support! (asie)
