Previously the energy density of IC2 Biomass was very high.
1000L of IC2 biomass could be converted into 32000L of IC2 Biogas in the
Distillery or into 64000L of IC2 Biogas in the Distillation Tower.
With an IC2 Canning Machine and a Distillery you got 128000 EU from 1
Potato.
With a Pyrolyse Oven and a Distillation Tower you got 320000 EU from 1
Potato.
With the increased consumption rates (x16/x32) of Biomass the energy
Density has been greatly reduced.
1 Potato now yields 8000 EU with an IC2 Canning Machine and 12000 EU
with a Pyrolyse Oven.
Also, scaleable Recipes for Fermented Biomass has been added.
It is now possible to produce Fermented Biomass in the Pyrolyse Oven
without the need of any Fermenters.
The following components can now be made in an Assembling Machine:
-Coated Circuit Board (-62.5% Sticky Resin cost)
-Vacuum Tube (-33% Copper/Paper cost)
-Phenolic Circuit Board (-20% Glue/Bisphenol A cost)
The time needed to make Glass Tube in the Alloy Smelter has been
reduced: 12s -> 8s
Niobium can now be obtained from Apatite and Pyrolusite as Byproducts.
apatite veins now also contain Pyrochlore (new materials, contains
Niobium) instead of Phosphate (PO4).
Cable insulation works as it did before for EV cables.
IV+ Cables can be insulated with only molten Silicone.
Insulation now also works with whole Dusts at 4x the batch size.
Chemical Recipes now have a controllable output pattern.
By adding an Integrated Circuit the Fluid output can automatically be
canned into empty cells.
Water outputs can also be automatically voided.
This reduces the need for fluid Canners in a processing line.
Renamed: Fiberglass Circuit Board -> Fiber-Reinforced Circuit Board
Fiber-Reinforced Boards are now made by combining Epoxy Resin with
either Glass Fiber or Carbon Fiber.
Glass Fiber is produced from Borosilicate Glass, which is in turn
produced from Glass and Boron.
To make this feasible Salt and Rock Salt now yield Borax as a byproduct.
SaltWater now yields the same amount of material as Salt Dust.
Increased the energy cost of electrolyzing Salt to make netto energy
yield via NaOH+Hydrogen negative.
