Recipes, quests and progression

Index · Previous: Applied Energistics and its addons (3 of 3) · Next: Hodgepodge


NewHorizonsCoreMod is where the pack's own recipes, quest rewards and progression gates live, rather than any one mod's machines. It moved from 2.7.268 to 2.9.60, and most of what follows changes what something costs or when you can reach it.

Dyson Buff and Space Assembler Expansion

Dyson Swarm is no longer gated by UMV Circuits and is now craftable at the start of UIV, with significantly cheaper module recipes featuring UIV-tier materials. OpenComputers Dire Table items like Server 4 have been moved to the Space Assembler for more accessible crafting.

Unstable ingots work again

A bug was fixed where Unstable Ingots from Extra Utilities were failing to explode when shift-clicked to craft. The coremod was incorrectly replacing the custom recipe with a generic one, breaking the intended explosion behavior.

New features and content

The pack now gives you recipes to craft tilled fertilized dirt, farmland, and new tools like the Cooper's Mallet and stone bowl. Planets have improved recipes using naturally spawned ores, barrel upgrade benches let you enhance your storage, and AE2 crafting storage gets proper unpacking recipes. Toolbox input/output switching, dynamo hatches, and compressor assembler recipes round out the expanded crafting options.

Balance

Mid-to-endgame recipes see significant adjustments: UXV cables are rebalanced, Dyson modules retried and recosted, and plastic circuit boards replace epoxy versions. Angel Ring, quantum circuits, and computation singularities are reworked for better progression pacing, while stellar catalyst tesseracts and ultimate battery space assemblers receive tweaks to their recipes and ingredient counts.

Performance

The pack loads faster with improved buffering for delayed removals, reduced NBT tag spam, and direct aspect object references instead of lookups. The questbook now loads its default state properly when the modpack updates, cutting down on unnecessary overhead.

Removals

Deprecated content is cleaned up: ae2fc, unused essentia recipes, old IC2 methods, mixin overrides, and texture sets are removed. The perfect hover augment and GraviSuite Vajra shapeless recipe are gone, and Avaritia's Neutronium Compressor is hidden from JEI.

Fixes

Numerous recipe conflicts and typos are resolved, including switchboard recipes, UEV/UIV hull uptiering, armor gating, and Dyson circuits. Hollow hill mob spawns no longer vanish after relog, Black Plutonium cables are now obtainable, and Forestry engine recipes retain their original paths. Pluto planet block variants and wireless pattern terminal inputs are corrected.
