Fixed Bauxite Recipe Chain (missing washing step) Fixed Lang Entry for Excavator Mineral Entries Fixed Block Tag Issues with IG Stair Blocks Added WIP Seafoam Core Drill Multiblock Skin

Fixed Vanadinite Chain Added Recipe to Craft Slabs into full blocks for IG Materials. Added IE workbench Recipe for Tungsten Components. Converted Core Drill to use the Multiblock Skin System, still semi WIP. (if Core Drill is important to you, note that Mirrored versions do not display correctly just yet.)

Removed Vanadinite Grit + Powder, dead end recipe with no plans to use the item types.

Adjusted default configuration for Apatite to spawn in the Overworld, previously it would try to spawn in the nether, but without a valid stone type, this would prevent Apatite from spawnning entirely.

Fixed Crash to Desktop when putting clay in a mixer.

Read Me

Some ore blocks have had their supported vanilla stone types changed. This may result in missing ore blocks in old worlds.

Additions

• Overhauled world generation for more realistic mineral deposits.

• Dimension Specific Ores have been added, you can now find Ores in the End as well as the Overworld and Nether.

• Implemented sodium electrolysis.

• Added magnesium production processes.

Changes

• Rewrote and optimized ore generation logic for significantly improved performance and reliability.
• Adjusted ore rarity and placement using improved filtering logic.
• Updated and expanded in-game documentation, including manual entries for minerals and machines.

Fixes

• Bituminous Coal no longer converts into a Coke Block in the Coke Oven.
• Geologist Pick can now be crafted with any stick item (no longer restricted to treated wood).
• Missing fence recipes have been added.
• Fixed an issue preventing ore generation when the game language was not set to English.
• Cobalt Oxide now has a valid Pelletizer recipe.
• Immersive Geology fluids now support proper swimming mechanics.
• Fixed an issue where fluid property lookups would incorrectly create a new fluid type each time.
• Resolved fluid handling issues in the Chemical Reactor.
• Fixed input capability handling in the Chemical Reactor.
• Fluid Flasks can no longer stack—this prevents item deletion when used in stacked form.

I've probably forgotten some other additions or fixes, I'll update this if I remember any more; I need to be more descriptive with my commits on github.
