Latest versions
Galacticraft 3 is officially released on Sunday, November 9 2014 - no longer in beta!
It is recommended to use the latest version which has additional features and the latest bugfixes:
Version 3.0.11
Version 3.0.11.310 (latest) includes a beta preview (Creative-mode only) of the new Astro Miner. Use this machine with caution, it destroys blocks! Full details here. Also:
- fixes the issue with the Space Race Manager randomly opening on login
- on the solar system map, Saturn and Uranus now have rings, like on the Galacticraft T-shirt
- improved player tab compatibility with Custom NPCs mod
- solar system map improvements for Add-Ons (now the AWSD keys scroll the map)
- small visual fixes: torches in sealed rooms now have proper flames; Evolved Spiders now have their eyes still visible even when an Invisibility Potion is thrown at them, similar to vanilla Spiders (try it and see!)
Version 3.0.11.306 (recommended) adds stability including several bugfixes.
- Increased functionality of the Planet Selection Screen for Galacticraft Add-On mods.
- Correct Galacticraft inventory tab position when potion effects are active
- Slimeling Eggs now hatch when right-clicked (as well as when broken with an empty hand)
- Now dual-compatible with Mekanism v.7 and Mekanism v.8.
- Minor fix to airlock controllers ("Player within x meters" and "Redstone signal" options can now be combined)
- Other visual fixes to the GUI and to Thermal Padding item rendering
Version 3.0.10
Version 3.0.10.300 adds stability and compatibility, especially for anyone wanting to update to Mekanism v.8. Details:
- Compatibility with new Mekanism v.8: this is an essential update if you want to play Galacticraft with Mekanism v.8
- Fixes the BungeeCord dimension login issues
- Circuit Fabricator accepts silicon from other mods (exact type is configurable)
- Fuel Loader accepts EnderIO Rocket Fuel
- Applied Energistics 2 meteorites can now generate on the Moon and other space dimensions
- A new config setting to allow retrospective oil generation if adding Galacticraft to existing worlds
- Faster and more stable Moon world generation
- Workaround for the CoFHCore flat bedrock bug which caused rare crashes on the Moon
Version 3.0.9
Version 3.0.9.294 is a major playability update. It adds the following:
- New optional Quick Mode config to play with double compressed metal production, meaning you can build Galacticraft items and blocks with half the regular amount of resources (1/4 the usual amount for building rockets)
- New optional Hard Mode config with a list of tweaks to make the game more challenging
- Improved freefall motion on Space Stations - it's a little easier to move around in survival mode (except in Hard Mode where it's fractionally harder than before)
- Landing animation when you land from freefall onto a surface you can walk on
- Evolved mobs adjust their jump according to the gravity - in low gravity, they don't jump so hard so they stay closer to the ground (and if anyone makes a high gravity planet in future, they will jump harder, meaning they can still jump up 1 block)
- Evolved Zombie, Evolved Skeleton, Evolved Spider, Evolved Creeper now drop rare drops, some of them pretty nice - see each one's wiki page for details. Bring on those space mob grinders!
- New texture for Asteroid rock - it should help with the low visibility issues in the Asteroids dimension
- Fixed a few issues with Sun, Moon and stars visibility in orbit and in the Asteroids.
Version 3.0.8
Version 3.0.8.269 adds these fixes:
- Fixes the Space Race flag image saving issues on servers
- Stops oil burning and fuel explosions if no oxygen is present
- Burning mobs, players and arrows now work correctly in space dimensions - will burn if inside sealed spaces or oxygen bubbles
- The Methane Synthesizer will not fill with CO2 on Mars if it is inside an oxygen bubble
- The Coal Generator can now burn a Block of Coal as well as regular Coal
Version 3.0.8.266 improves stability on servers, restores compatibility with Aether II mod, improves compatibility with Buildcraft oil (all the Galacticraft oil in the world will not now be lost if you install Buildcraft on an existing map), and makes pools of oil flammable and pools of Fuel liable to explode if there is fire nearby. Also adds a config to allow conversion losses when converting energy between Galacticraft and other mods.
Version 3.0.8.262 adds around 20 different stability improvements and bugfixes, including issues caused by other mods using outdated Buildcraft API or RF API. Also better support for Galacticraft Add-Ons with planets with breathable atmospheres.
