Update 0.7.8 is here, Unit renames, steam engines, and balance changes!

What's in This Update?

A... lot, and your old save would probably don't work anymore

1. Unit Rename
   • To better fit the lore of UAW, ALL unit name has been changed (except Helicopters), it'll no more use names taken from another language other than English.
   • This also means, that translation wouldn't work and would be very misleading also.
2. Steam Engines
   • Pretty self-explanatory, structures that utilize steam to power them, complete with a way of boiling water to get steam, the gas pipes, crafter, drills, and more!
   • All of these structures are available on the tech tree, you can access them as soon as you researched the "Mechanical Pump".
3. Anthracite
   • Anthracite before was a pretty much worthless material, it now can be used to power boilers which are used for getting steam.
   • Anthracite can now be only acquired by drilling coal using a special drill called "Steam Thumper".
4. Carburizing Furnace
   • Carburizing Furnace is now a part of the brand new steam engines tech tree.
5. Unit Factories & Oil Derrick
   • Oil Derrick will now also be a part of the brand new steam engines tech tree, and UAW modded unit factories will require Oil Derrick to be researched also.
6. Liquid Cistern
   • A new block for storing liquid, bigger storage capacity than liquid tanks
7. Petroleum Generator
   • Got yeeted into the oblivion / removed
8. Tier 5 Ground Unit - Main Battle Tank - 'Caernarvon' Its main gun shells completely bypass enemy force shields and most of their unit's armor. It's also heavily armored and slightly faster than its predecessor.
9. Balance Changes for units that I definitely forgot to document, so you have to figure it out yourself

Update 0.7.8.1

• Increased Gas junction, router, and bridges throughput
• Fixes Steam Press Blending
• Reduced Carburizing Furnace Steam Cost

Update 0.7.7

Update 0.7.7 is finally here.. after a month.. yeah I've been busy with IRL stuff. This update reworks tanks again and some other stuff

What's new?

1. Unit Rework All unit in UAW has been reworked of slightly tweaked, for example : a. Helicopters - When helicopters die, their rotor will slowdowns. - Fixed a sudden pause when the helicopter hits the ground while rotating - New AI: Helicopter will rush ground target while keeping a distance with airborne targets b. Tanks - Tanks now has multiple mounts on top of their turret - Better Trail effects for tanks - Gun sound fix c. Jets - Jets has better trail and new sprite, also renamed and will have much much less impact on the game performance - Jufeng is renamed to 'Bandit', next in the unit tree name will have a similar naming theme - New AI: Jets will rush ground target while keeping a distance from airborne targets
2. Unit Constructor It now no longer needed to use a vanilla unit to construct UAW units, all UAW units will have their own unit factory now.
   • Ground unit can be produced in the "Armor Construction Facility"
   • Naval unit can be produced in "Naval Yard"
   • Air unit can be produced in "Aeronautic Manufacturing Pad"

There's probably other stuff i forgot, you can download the update and check it out yourself

Update 0.7.6

Update 0.7.6 is now here, and with it came massive changes to UAW as a whole. Brand new petroleum system (well, a part of it), mine reworks, and various other changes that definitely wouldn't take a whole month if I didn't procrastinate

What's new?

1. New Item
   • Anthracite
     • Also referred to as hard coal, is a hard, compact style of coal that encompasses a sub-metallic luster. It has the most carbon content, the fewest impurities, and the highest energy density of every type of coal.
     • A rare type of coal that can be acquired from filtering oil and crystalizing coal.
     • Stable yet very flammable
2. Petroleum System
   • The wide array of blocks heavily relies on a constant supply of oil and will explode violently if destroyed, but they are much more powerful than vanilla crafters
   • Why? More powerful crafters are the overrated, more tedious ones that is faster aren't
   1. Petroleum Smelter
      • Produce huge amount of silicon and metaglass using sand, lead, and anthracite
   2. Petroleum Separator
      • Filters out oil for coal and anthracite
   3. Anthracite Crystalizer
      • Crystalizes coal into anthracite
   4. Petroleum Generator
      • Generates power from oil
   5. Rotodynamic Pump
      • Pumps out liquid faster than thermal pump
   6. Oil Derrick
      • Extracts oil from deep beneath the planet crust, can be placed on water
3. Pressurized Liquid Transportation Conduits
   • An upgrade from armored conduits transfers liquid much faster than its predecessor, more armored, but requires power to operate, a more advanced version of bridge conduit, router, and the junction is also included
4. Proximity Mine Reworks
   • Zounderkite will now display the correct information for landmine
   • Mines will now make a beeping before exploding
   • Better explosions effects
5. Explosion Effect Reworks
   • Explosion Effects now look better and more polished, especially on cruise missile explosions and heavy artillery shells
6. New Turret base
   • Some UAW turret base is now changed into a darker one
7. EMP Status Effect
   • Some turret that uses surge alloy now applies for EMP status at their target, this will be used more in the future

What's Changed?

1. Tank AI
   • Tanks used to pursue enemies, now this is changed, they will use the default AI instead.
   • Why? I still don't know how to make proper AI, rather than pushing what's broken, I rather stick to what's working.
2. Lores and Description
   • Some content descriptions and lore are now changed, this change also reflects their behavior in-game
3. Coal Liquefier
   • Removed, other than producing more oil, it has no place for the current petroleum system

Update 0.7.3 features some adjustments to several blocks, new reconstructor and units, and many more

Whats new?

1. Tetrative Petroleum Reconstructor
   • Upgrades UAW Tier 4 units to Tier 5, Requires a LOT of oil

   • Can be acquired by upgrading the Bedivere inside the Tetrative Petroleum Reconstructor

Changes

1. New Tank AI
   • Tanks have new updated AI, Tank will prioritize and chase down ground units, they can shoot down air units but won't chase them.
2. Reconstructor changes
   • Material requirements for both building and reconstructing units have been adjusted
   • Researching reconstructor is also changed, to unlock them in the tech tree, you need to research their vanilla counterpart first
3. Effect changes
   • Some effects have been polished
4. Tier 4 Helicopter : Bedivere
   • New Artillery weapon are added to bedivere,
   • New Cruise Missile Sprite
5. Some changes in bundle.properties
