Mod doesn't need platinum

[sinful charm]

Hi folks, super cool addon and love the textures and effects. Just thought I'd throw out my opinion that adding a whole new resource which isn't super well integrated into the rest of the create ecosystem is a turn off from adding this to my pack. I'd skip it and use existing create resources if I were you. Regardless thanks for making this addon. Super fun to mess with.

If I were me, I'd still keep platinum. Please understand that it was just introduced, and it may not have many uses right now but will have more in the future. Be patient

If you hate it so much then make a datapack to replace it

I really don't like these suggestions about platinum since they disregard the fact that it was introduced like only a day ago and already has several uses

I agree that while this mod is fantastic, the mod doesn't need platnum. Create is all about adding quality features, and quality is always better than quantity, All features need to have a unique space in the create ecosystem and cannot feel half baked.

I feel the same about redstone transmission, because create aeronautics already added this same block, its not needed in propulsion, and only creates redundancy.

On another note, I feel like the new thruster types dont feel very create, as the current textures need polish.

Aeronautics one uses cogwheels and it's not consistent

Redstone transmission uses shaft and is consistent

It has the same functionality. so although you may argue that it is different, it still is redundant.

It's the same as calling brass gearbox redundant

I simply added a datapack that sets the platinum placed_feature count to 0 (using misode.github.io) and used kubejs to change the recipes (I actually added a way to crush blocks into platinum) but its very easy to change if you dont like it

Oh, thats really nice. Would you mind posting a link to the data-pack here?

I also built a mod that lets you remove items from creative tabs / rearrange/ edit tabs freely, if thats something that bothers folks:

Oh I just used kubejs's data folder for it, I dont really have a datapack to post sorry for misleading

its really simple to setup tho using misode

you can see the existing propulsion datapack in the mod (you can open it up like a archive) and copy it into the datapack on misode

these are the files I modified if you want hem

its really simple

I feel like platinum does make sense for a rocket/thruster mod...since platinum is used in rockets, missiles, and spacecraft; primarily in engines, thrusters, and guidance systems due to its high melting point, corrosion resistance, and catalytic properties.

Yeah I liked it immediately at least its not my 4th steel ingot I have to synchronize across mods. Like nobody's added platinum yet that I can think of which is cool, I am going to figure out what other things use platinum in real life to make their recipes use it in my pack.
