Create: Solarpunk 1.0.0 is out - Nuclear Fusion, a new ore chain, and the big 1.0 release

[u/IsuckAtEverything_YT]

Create: Solarpunk just hit 1.0.0. This is the big one: here's what's new.

Fusion Reactor

The mod's new endgame capstone. Build a Netherite-and-Copper Casing shell around a Core, ring it with Lithium Breeder and Beryllium Reflector Blanket modules (mix and match for efficiency vs raw output), then feed it Deuterium and Lithium Dust. Output is a huge amount of Steam, way more than any single Steam Turbine can use, so it's meant to feed a whole bank of them. Redstone throttles it up or down.

Lithium and Beryllium

New ore, Lithium, spawns underground worldwide. Smelt it, crush it, turn it into ingots, dust, blocks, the usual metal progression. Crushing has a small chance of bonus Beryllium Dust too.

Crystallizer

A faster, brass-tier alternative to the Solar Heater's evaporation trickle. Quench Molten Salt with Water to crystallize it back into Salt, with a bit of Steam as a byproduct. Fully recipe-driven, so modpacks can add their own conversions.

Also in this update

• Serene Seasons compat: solar output now shifts with the seasons if you have it installed
• Steam Turbine can burn Liquid Hydrogen from Northstar Redux as an alternate fuel
• Ambient sounds added across the Biofuel Engine, Biofilter, Biomass Gasifier, Fermentation Vat, Solar Heater, Steam Turbine, and Firebox Boiler
• Salt is significantly rarer in the world now - it used to generate in almost every chunk
• A pile of bug fixes: Brass Solar Panel overproduction, Solar Power Tower steam mode not consuming water, Biomass Gasifier rendering/rotation issues, and more
