Dev stream today, we adding cardboard

[fallen tiger]

https://www.twitch.tv/nyagi_byte @Dev Stream cardboard

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements Items added in for making cardboard and using byproducts. Yeah this is just for cardboard, suffer

[obsidian leaf]

@left venture wana make cardboard

[left venture]

All the paper tings plz

[obsidian leaf]

one of the byproducts can be turned into floral fruit flavor

and uh, bullet material

that also works as a wart remover

chemistry is fun

it's like actually shocking how complicated making cardboard is considering we trash it like it's nothing

this item list is still simplified

[left venture]

and paper

[obsidian leaf]

yeah

i still need to add like, 10 other items as "boosters" for the line

emulsion breakers, digesting agents, detackifiers

just

loads of bullshit

[left venture]

Also if you like puzzles, or wanna get more ideas for any, The Room games are pretty detailed with crazy puzzles

If you have photosensitivity though, like seizures from flashing lights: do not recommend. It's a bunch of older games. Super low on price on steam rn

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements Oh and of course the cardboard line wouldnt be complete without unique chemicals to boost production at every step, hope yall can make Polydiallyldimethylammonium Chloride

[woven ferry]

Of course we can (pending recipe implementation)

New ponders for Spelunkery's rock salt blocks (known here as Luminar Salt) and the Nephrite XP storage system.

[obsidian leaf]

@left venture @woven ferry lookie new ponders

[left venture]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-surprise-surprised-neko-catgirl-gif-11685547662066237917

embed fail, heck yeah these look so cool

Are you using chipped in this? If so, are these sort of blocks usable on the chipped tables?

[obsidian leaf]

I believe so yes

[left venture]

👀

[woven ferry]

Awesome, this will definitely help understanding all those blocks

[slim bloom]

More ponders!
Botania's crafty crate and mana enchanter.
@Modpack Announcements

[fallen tiger]

https://www.twitch.tv/nyagi_byte @Dev Stream hallo

[slim bloom]

Ok so, I have been thinking about how to implement more structures in the pack and want to heavily rework recipes in decorative stuff such as yuushya and other mods to supplement this

The idea is the decorative blocks will have elements of realism to their cost, but with the added benefit of a scrap-recycle recipe being added to allow you to loot the buildings themselves to the ground if desired

So my poll to yall is:

[slim bloom]

@Helium to clarify a bit, building blocks themselves (unless very industrial or higher tech) will largely be unaffected, this is mostly for decorative elements to be made expensive and also given scrapping recipes to retrieve materials as loot

[slim bloom]

@Helium Botania's Flower bag added to starter inventory

[fallen tiger]

https://www.twitch.tv/nyagi_byte @Dev Stream hallo

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements New flavors of scrap (not the decorative rework, waiting on that poll)

[left venture]

Horrible idea, imagine having to oil all the parts for things like create, minecarts, etc

[turbid drum]

Do not give her ideas.
-# Also we veto-ed a lesser version of this. Well. I did.

[obsidian leaf]

✍️

[slim bloom]

Ok so! Since the poll was so close and I've had time to mull over a possible solution most of yall will be happy with, here is the idea:
Structural blocks will (for the most part) be unaffected by these changes
Decorative styled blocks will have the option to be cut down into either their scrap items or matter balls
The existing recipe for matter balls will be removed as a result
Various types of matter balls will be introduced to keep exchanges to their own "value" level

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements New items in generic scrap piles!

[fallen tiger]

https://www.twitch.tv/nyagi_byte @Dev Stream

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements
A row of textures reworked (bottom ones are new)! You can still use the old textures by turning on the resource pack NB&B Programmer's Art.

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements Ok so in order to keep the 1.20.1 port within scope (this year) I have decided to leave the bulk of the recipe registration and custom items to do with the decorative rework till after the port as its own update

[woven ferry]

Good idea

Scope creep can make any project just never come out

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements Organics tab has received a touch up!

New quests:

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements Questbook is gone 🔥

Just kidding, the tabs now unlock after going through a more structured welcome tab that actually shows you where everything is and not hit you with 50 tabs all at once

[obsidian leaf]

@woven ferry goated change?

[woven ferry]

👀

[woven ferry]

Finally got rid of the questbook, the pack was too easy with it

When you can just use JEI

[fallen tiger]

@Helium boop
ima open a thread, tell me the shaders yall use in the thread

[slim bloom]

@Helium Throwing the big ping for this!
Thanks to @mlodziak00 for this beautiful commission

The sky is your cage
This is your prison

[obsidian leaf]

@left venture @woven ferry lookie

[slim bloom]

If anyone is interested in helping us get more commissions for compression the premium roles go entirely towards the commission fund <3

[left venture]

how's performance looking so far with all this craziness?

[obsidian leaf]

shockingly pretty good

[left venture]

If you need a shockingly bad laptop to test on lemme know I have one that I can pull out of the dust that I let the devs know they can use it for performance testing

[obsidian leaf]

i will keep that in mind

[woven ferry]

What's that commission about? New structure?

[turbid drum]

It's the skybox

[woven ferry]

Oh right. I remember that there was supposed to be some change for the skybox, but I though it's already in game

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements graphic design is my passion

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements Behold! Some ponders to help understand corporea's... most of the things!

straight up pondering my cube (that I totally didn't forget to record)

wait shit I forgot the cube, uno momento

[woven ferry]

Maybe I'll be able to finally learn Corporea, as I've never really needed to understand how it works

[turbid drum]

Corporea is sneaky good if you know how to use it.
-# the gate is knowing redstone
But usually it barely sees use, if at all, cause it's post-end, so it always gets replaced by whatever convenient storage solution is bundled into the pack.
Not in Compression. Corporea is super early, and it's actually being used. Like, a lot. Very pleasant to see.
And by making it able to interact with ae2, it stays relevant later on.

[fallen tiger]

https://www.twitch.tv/nyagi_byte @Dev Stream hi

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements hi :)

[woven ferry]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements That's rather backwards ain't it? New AIOT rework. This change is pretty minor but it allows you to get to an aiot with 1 conversion cycle of a pure daisy and drops the iron requirement! Oh and a recipe to smash an aiot back into tools for any usecases yall have in existing factories.

[slim bloom]

@Modpack Announcements What strange blocks... Wonder what they are for

[fallen tiger]

@Helium Hello! Big announcement to let yall know whats going on.

The port is still being worked on and is getting close. The things that are yet to be done are naturally half of the entire dev time cause scope creep happened but yaknow how that is.

In terms of actual port date I have a few things happening at the same time, at the end of this month I am moving across the country to Washington and likely wont have proper pc access till the start of May. That said some time in May is my target to get the update out to yall along with something else being attached to this update.

For transparency without spoiling much, the thing that ended up pushing the update forward a lot was world gen. It's quite revamped in comparison to 1.19.2 and we are still waiting on a few things (including me finishing up a fairly large structure). Which is one of those things that needs to ship with the update.

I do sincerely appreciate yall having patience with me for this port, I am trying to make this something truly magical.

I will do my best to keep yall updated and showcase more in #1124862275468148888 as more is able to be shown.

Thank you all for being here

[woven ferry]

[slim bloom]

-# gonna ping afterwards cause there's a bunch of things.
Since enchanting books are gone, we now have a new way to "enchant" your tools.
Just combine them with the right material in the smithing table to apply one level of an enchant.
Amethyst gives Silk Touch, Fluix Crystals give a level of Efficiency (yes, you can reapply it) and mini-tnt gives...Excavating?
It's a new enchantment that allows the tool to dig in a 3x3 area at the cost of being slower. Crouching will deactivate the effects.

AIOTs get unique visuals when enhanced this way!
In order, Efficiency, Silktouch, Excavating, Efficiency+Excavating, Silktouch + Excavating.

Moving on to Red String.
A new feature has been implemented where red string is rendered with higher thickness, making it easier to see.
By default, it will have higher visibility, although it's configurable client-side.
We had to do this because...

Ponders!
That's right, ponders for red string.
This one goes over the basics of red string connections.

And these ones are for the individual red stringed blocks.

What do you expect from a TLauncher user?

[fallen tiger]

With Create Aeronautics being a 1.21.1 mod, it will never come to compression. So in a single day I made this abomination. It has GregTech Modern Industrialization. You start in the aether, there is no overworld.

@Modpack Announcements Good news and bad news! The spawn crater had to be reduced in size in order to actually load in. This structure is now 10% the total block volume

Good news is, it actually generate. Block drops are increased to compensate for this loss.

[fallen tiger]

May 15th Compression 1.20.1 will be officially released

As for @Server Member : [Helium] the spawn point will be moved. The world will still exist as is. Porting of the server will be announced separately once completed.

Thank you all so very much for your patience and for sticking around
||@Helium @everyone ||

[woven ferry]

@obsidian leaf 1.20? Let's go!

How many chapters are ready with it?

[obsidian leaf]

Same as before, but much more fleshed out

Worldgen is very overhauled

Early game a lot smoother

Create 6.0 integration, hella new mods tied in

The foundations are much firmer this time, updates after will actually be regular

A lot of tech debt undone ^^;

[woven ferry]

I've not played Minecraft in a bit (got into Crimson Desert), but I might go back to Compression.

I guess it would be good to start over?

Cause I don't think you can upgrade the world from existing one, right?

[obsidian leaf]

You will be able to but… you’ll miss out on the crater

It has a lot of materials in it that remove rng for most of Tier 0
