Immersive Geology Update – February 6th 2025

New Features & Additions

• Evaporate Minerals in TFC Worlds:
  Evaporate Minerals now spawn naturally in TFC world types, adding realistic mineral formations for players to discover.

• Enhanced Nether Resources:
  Nether ore spawning has been introduced (in a partially working state) so that new types of ores can appear in the Nether, expanding your mining options.

• New Sediment & Geologist Pick:
  A new Sediment item type and the Geologist Pick have been added—providing an improved way to collect and process geological materials during exploration.

• Improved Schematic Building:
  Players can now pick schematic blocks directly and enjoy an updated schematic table menu. This makes building and copying complex structures easier—even though rotation/mirror handling is still a work in progress.

• Multiblock Schematics Support:
  The mod now supports multiblock schematics with grid-based placement, giving creative builders more flexibility when designing large structures.

• Centrifuge Overhaul:
  A fully working centrifuge (now integrated with JEI) has been added with a new model and a refined recipe system. This lets players process materials more efficiently.

• Extended Slurry System:
  The slurry system has been expanded with new mineral slurry types—including cloudy variants—offering extra processing options for your mod’s chemical workflows.

• Improved Chemical Reactor Logic: The Chemical Reactor has had its internal logic improved, fixing a few important bugs.

• Implemented Pre-Heating for the Reverberation Furance: Previously the Reverberation Furnace had not been affected by the Pre-Heaters; You can now use these to increase the speed of the Reverberation Furnace by up to 300%

• Creative Menu Enhancements:
  Changes to the creative menu and tabs make it easier for players to navigate and find mod items.

Processing & Production Updates

• New Chemical Production:
  Production chains for hydrofluoric acid and ammonia have been introduced, broadening the range of chemical processes available to players.

• Enhanced Ore Processing:
  New processing features for manganese and cobalt have been implemented. Smelting recipes for lead and silver (including from crystals and grit) have also been refined for a smoother resource conversion experience.

• Aluminum Line Processing IG Now has a full processing line for Aluminum, ensuring the ability to craft all IE Items and Machines.

• Ore Distribution Tweaks:
  Adjustments to iron band formation noise generation help fine-tune ore distribution, ensuring a more natural spread of resources in the world.

Visual & Interface Improvements

• Minor GUI Updates and Visual Fixes:
• The Reverberation Furnace shows the internal fluid tank for Sulfur Dioxide and a Nameplate.
• Minor Tweaks to the Bloomery GUI
