If you have any suggestions, please hop on our Discord and tell us there - it's more likely to be heard there.

First off, this update plans to solve two issues:

• Glitch Armor is not competitive with other similar armors, mostly due to pristine matter being used far too quickly, even after the values were halved;
• Energy usage is inconsistent and, when required, the mod has no built-in generator to generate it, relying on third-party mods.

To fix these, we plan to implement the following:

• Data Synthesizer
  • Consumes a Data Model's data for energy. To avoid abusing it with a Simulation Chamber, all data models that have been used by a simulation chamber will be flagged, rendering then unable to be used by the Data Synthesizer;
  • GUI aesthetic;
  • Block aesthetic;
  • Sound
  • This generator's energy would be common, being the same used by other mods and lower-tiered machines.
• Loot Fabricator rework
  • Use energy;
• Matter condenser rework
  • Now condenses Pristine Matter to generate PE (Pristine Energy);
  • PE is used exclusively to charge Glitch Equipment (more on the next point).

Glitch Armor Overhaul:

• Modular effects no longer consume data;
• Instead, it's consumed from the armor's PE, a far less valuable resource (as 1 pristine matter = PE in the thousands);
• No longer has tiers that data models have to comply, only the data model's tier + required PE is necessary.

Misc and supporting content:

• Glitch Sword:
  A Netherite sword infused with a Glitch Ingot

  • Charged with common energy;
  • Mobs killed with it grant double data;
  • System Glitch takes double damage against it;
  • Cannot be enchanted;
  • Texture

• Energy Octahedron:

  • Allows moving energy between different machines;
  • Recipe

• Pristine Energy Cube:

  • Allows moving PE energy between different Matter Condensers;
  • Distributes PE energy for all equipped pieces;
  • Recipe

• Disruption
  A disruption is a randomly generated structure that disappear soon after the core (pretty much a fancy chest) is opened, allowing mod specific-loot to be obtained.

  • Disruption Core's functionalities;
  • Fading Glitched Tile;
  • Loottable;
  • Worldgen.

• Glitched Tile set

  • Glitched Tile;
  • Glitched Stairs;
  • Glitched Slab;
  • Glitched Wall;
  • Verify if recipes, loot tables, tags, etc are all in place.

Other tasks:

• Divide config per module (i.e. .minecraft/config/dml-refabricated/simulacrum.json)
