Changelog

Version: 0.8.4
Date: 2026-02-10
  Compatibility:
    - [AAI Industry] Added the casting of the new concrete and steel gates, the casting walls tech now requires the steel gate tech.
  Bugfixes:
    - [Metal and Stars] Recipe lava to (silica) sand is now unlocked correctly.
  Changes:
    - Updated dependency of [OCs Base Assets] to >0.3.3 as helper functions were updated.

Date: 2025-11-08
  Compatibility:
    - Fixed [Maraxsis] compatibility, as the recipe generator wasn't properly loaded.

  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed missing localisation for Maraxsis compatibility.
  Other:
    - Legacy support for expensive-lava-mode where calcite is added to casting recipes. It is possible to have both modes active for more pain.
    - Removed explicit log for [Foundation Productivity] compatibliity, log is inherently done by helper function.
    - Removed migration from "expensive-lava-mode" to "complex-lava-mode" as it is re-introduced as legacy option.

Version: 0.8.2
Date: 2025-11-06
  Compatibility:

Version: 0.8.0
Date: 2025-11-05
  Minor Features:
    - Added rails and gates to the castable items.
    - Added railway as prerequisit techs to avoid cheesing rails.
    - Added technology for casting walls and gates.
    - Added casting of stone and steel furncances. In case you need hundreds of stone furncances in the late game.
  Balancing:
    - Lowered time for melting stone (and sand) by half.
    - Raised crafting time for casting bricks from 12 to 24 seconds to match the other casting recipes.
  Changes:
    - For the comlex mode, switched the calcite cost from "casting" like recipes to the melting recipes. This also means it requires the other mod setting to be active.

    - Updated dependency to OCs_base_assets 0.3.0
    - Rearranging mod files and use more of my base assets mod
