==== Changes / Notes ====

Ars Magica 2 has been made an optional mod. This is not because of lack of interest but because some of its features unbalance features in other mods.

Updated Flans config (again) to add recipe for Barrett explosive ammo (just for you AnderZ!)

Roguelike dungeon base spawn rate reduced considerably. Reduced to a quarter of the original spawn density. Other balance adjustments to the dungeons.

Mekanism default power generation level have been tweaked.

Mekanism cardboard boxes can no longer pick up spawners by default. Sorry guys, it was a little too cheap!

Mekanism default energy type switched to RF.

Adjusted steel production. No longer directly possible with thermal expansion and instead favouring production via Steelworks. RailCraft steel production is however unaffected.

Tinker's Steelworks limestone world gen disabled in favour of Chisel's generation. This avoids multiplication of world gen resources. This one was chosen since the abundance could be altered.

Charlotte's utilities morph brush will now use up durability on use.

Adjusted various configs relating to the Grave Stones mod. Should now spawn less mobs from gravestones and as a result be a little more server friendly.

Default "Hats" key changed to J to avoid conflicting keys with Flans.

Tweaked ICBM's antimatter explosive to no longer break bedrock. The rejuvenating, antimatter and red matter explosive recipes have been change to better reflect their destructive capacity.

Immibis' Dimensional Anchors have replaced Chicken Chunks for the time being to assess if it eliminates some of the crash reports we have been seeing. This may or may not change again pending the results of the investigation.

Disabled the CoFH item pickup HUD by default to avoid potential crashes.

Buffed the fortron production multiplier for MFFS3. It should not be more feasible to make and use large forcefields with it. This may be adjusted further in the future.

Player Beacons do not explicitly rely on Thaumcraft integration. This will allow those who prefer not to use magic to still access these features.

Various other config tweaks that were too minor to note specifically.
