Nerfing Better Compat and Reusing some content
Spydrouge opened this issue ยท 0 comments
Tinker's Better Compat is wayyyy overpowered compared to Materialis and Vanilla TConstruct.
Ruby, Sapphire, and Amethyst have been nerfed. I wanted to give Ruby fiery and Sapphire icy, but these caused glitches because they summoned fireballs/iceballs from Fire and Ice rather than simply freezing and burning opponents, so their abilities have been changed to Prospecting and Looting, respectively. Amethyst has kept Crystal Powered.
From a realism standpoint, it doesn't make sense to me that Ruby, Sapphire, and Amethyst are all melting/casting recipes. From a gameplay standpoint, this gates them until after the smeltery is unlocked, which is wise.
Future Plans:
- Amethyst has been nerfed to a 2nd tier material; it should be possible to craft with it at the Tinker's Station.
- Crystal can plausibly be introduced using the Certus Quartz profile in Better Compat.
