Introduction
FrogCraft: Rebirth is spiritual successor of FrogCraft (and also the ported one), an Addon-Mod for IndustrialCraft2/GregTech, with theme of chemical industry, featured with following:
- Advanced Chemical Reactor
- Pyrolyzer
- Production line of Liquid Air
- Massive EU storage unit with limited functionality
- Combustion Furnace - regular generator plus functionality of collecting byproduct
- Advanced Blast Furnace
- Mobile Power Station
- New ores
- Decay Battery (Creative Only for now)
- Ammonia Coolant
- Fun stuff
What's changed in this version?
- New textures powered by huangziye812 and dunge!
- Thermal Cracker is renamed to Pyrolyzer. "Thermal Cracker" sounds like Chinglish to me.
- New contents.
- Crushed ore dust, purified ore dust, and dust of small pile!
- Full sulfuric acid production line!
- Advanced Blast Furnace! Used for dealing with your titanium (IV) oxide and aluminium (III) oxide.
- Aluminium, Magnalium, Titanium and Magnesium. Filling in the hole of GregTech.
- Some contents are removed.
- Cells are removed. Use IC2 Universal Fluid Cell instead. All machines and recipes are adjusted to use it.
- Railgun and Academy Windmill are removed.
- The reason of FrogCraft being named so is believed as a reference to anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, and the evidences are the Railgun and Academy Windmill.
- I consider AcademyCraft as the spiritual successor of FrogCraft's anime elements. Surely AcademyCraft is not on 1.12.2 yet, but as far as I know, they are slowly working on it.
- There used to be a replacement of Railgun, but it was removed since 2.0.0 due to technical difficulty.
- Marble and Basalt are removed. They were substitutions to RedPower's Marble and Basalt.
- There is still plan about adding something like Portland Cement, but there is no ETA.
- Ruby, Sapphire and Green Sapphire are removed. Reason is same as of Marble and Basalt.
- Four industrial machines are separated out into a new mod called "Industrial Machine".
- Pneumatic Compressor is removed because it has no real usage when not using with TechReborn or something alike.
- "Making Pneumatic Compressor standalone" is still on my long-term plan. No ETA, though.
- This mod now requires Java 8 to run. If you plan to use FrogCraft: Rebirth on dedicated server, please be aware of your Java version.

For Potential Contributors - Deployment
This assumes that you have Gradle installed. If not, try find a wrapper script.
$ gradle setupDecompWorkspace
Append eclipse, idea or other sorts when possible.
Laboratorium Chemiae (previously code-named FrogCraft 2: Chemia) is the spiritual successor of both FrogCraft & FrogCraft: Rebirth, which highly focuses on chemical engineering, aiming to establish an IRL-ish system about chemicals synthetic and usage.
There is no real progress of FrogCraft2, nor road map, but once FrogCraft: Rebirth is stable, I will start to work on that.
FrogCraft 2: Chemia will follow Cult of Kitteh.
Yes, NO GUI. It sounds like insane, but it will be.
