[0.3.1] Observations on Progression

[Hjaldar]

The comments below are just meant as observations and for informational purposes. They don't require further comment or action.

Resources obtainable that potentially shouldn't be

• Nether Wart: grass block in Iron Reinforced Centrifuge (MM)
• Soul Sand: Starlight Transmutation (AS) of Nether Wart block
• Certain fluids from AS Evershifting Fountain with Neromantic Prime (already flagged and noted)

General Progression Observations

• Leadstone and Hardened Fluxducts require a Blessed component (HV Wire Connector) but higher tiers of fluxducts don't.
• Tome of Knowledge is available much earlier than other XP storing methods. It does have a limited storage capacity.
• Building Gadgets potentially need changed recipes due to their power level compared to other similar items
• Chunk Loaders unavailable (except ghetto versions like AS Rituals and Ritual Anchors) due to lack of Ender Pearls
• V0id's Smart Backpacks: the Mending Upgrade is cheap and powerful, especially compared to a TE Energetic Infuser with Flux Reconstruction Augment. It should probably at least require a Mending book.
• Astral Sorcery Attuned Crystals would provide good gates for later one-off items

Most of these have been fixed in v0.4 but I'll leave it open and keep an eye on it a few more times just to make sure everything is resolved.

COPY of original issue, with fixed things removed or commented, remaining issues moved to the top.

Issues

• Certain fluids from AS Evershifting Fountain with Neromantic Prime (already flagged and noted)
• Building Gadgets potentially need changed recipes due to their power level compared to other similar items
• Astral Sorcery Attuned Crystals would provide good gates for later one-off items

  Wither Builder

• needs Wither Skulls, Nether Star and Soul Sand (Will be available in dim 4, but not sure if it's reasonable to have it available that early)

  Impulsion Wand

• need ender pearls (Still requires change since it's not a high tier item, will replace with Troll Seer Eyes)

Notes

Blood Magic

• Unattended Life Essence generation unavailable due to unavailability of Well of Suffering (Digital agonizer available in dim number 4)

Thermal Expansion

Enderium (used in upgrades)

• needs Ender Pearls (Available in dim number 4, which is fine)

Industrial Foregoing

• needs Nether Brick (Available in dim 3, which is fine)

Mob Duplicator

• needs Nether Wart (Recipe changed, no longer requires warts)

Mob Detector

• needs Nether Quartz (for Observers and Comparator)

Astral Sorcery (full progression available, including rituals)

Resplendent Prism

• need ender pearls (Already gated behind the Celestial Altar which you can craft in dim 4)
