— **Added a new ore:
tin.** The regular variant is best found at Y=38; the deepslate variant at Y=-58. You can make ingots from it, and from ingots you can craft plates and gears. The gear is required to craft the basic machine casing. Plates currently have no use.
— **Added a new tree: Hevea (Rubber Tree) with a full wood set.** Generates in swamps and jungles.
— **Added a new resource: rubber.** Acquisition mechanics: find a rubber tree, cut it with a special knife, place a bowl on any lower block (but not at the same height as the log block), and wait for it to fill with latex. After 2 minutes, a latex disc will drop; smelt it in a furnace to obtain raw rubber. Raw rubber can be pressed into rubber, or you can wash it, smelt it again, and get more rubber. We’ll run a poll in the mod’s bug-hunting Discord channel about how complex the rubber acquisition mechanics should be.
— **Added the Engineer’s Hammer,** crafted from 2 sticks and 2 iron ingots. Needed for crafting plates.
— Added a **generator** that produces energy from almost anything that can burn, and a **Crusher**. For now, the Crusher is only used to double ores by crushing them into two dust equivalents. The Crusher has side configuration, and you can add two upgrades, “Energy” and “Speed,” which currently have no crafting recipes.
— Added a battery, that can keep 2 kFE, and cicuit which currently have no crafting recipes.
