- For other signals it will display between 0 and 100, based on double value.
- Can be placed on walls and floor, with floor allowing to rotate it.
- You can change its style between Default (white background), red-green and green-red.

Wrenches can now be used on entities:

Fauced can now be powered by redstone to make it activate automatically.
- Compared to regular player activation, it will pour fluids 3 times slower. Cooling time will be unchanged.
- Using Mechanical Spout should still be preferred way to automate fluid casting recipes.
Added Redstone, Progress and List data types.
Redstone signal is now sent as its own data type (instead of being an Integer).
Redstone value of data is now interpreted as absolute value (negative values will generate signal, instead of being replaced with zero).
Item Reader and Text Input blocks are now orientable when placed facing upwards or downwards.
Changed implementation of Wall with Cable and Wall with Pipe to be more compatible with other mods.
Mechanical Miner will now attack the closest entity, instead of random one.
Lowered damage done by Experience Splashes (XP shoot with Pressure Fluid Gun) to 0.05 * amount (from 1 to 3). It was 0.5 * amount before.
Blueprint Workbench now uses Crafting Table screen as it's ui base, allowing usage of recipe book.
Creative Motor can now provide negative speed (aka rotating other way around).
Updated Mold Template textures.
Updated texture of Gated Cable and made it change when it's powered.
Renamed "Clay [X] Mold" items to "Unfired Clay [X] Mold".
Tweaked positioning of items in Creative Tab.
Tachometer speed can now report direction of rotation.
- It can be enabled by changing Value Modifier with a Wrench from "Absolute" to "Unmodified".
- The sign of reported value will tell in which direction it's rotation.
- By default it will still show absolute value (aka existing behaviour).
Mechanical Press recipes now support providing fluid output, as long as you place a Fluid Drain next to it.
- Such recipes will provide that information in Polydex.
- This functionality isn't used by the builtin recipes yet.
Tweaked Item Packer's comparator output value to more closely match vanilla one.
- It might still be different due to being based on Fabric's storage api.
Fixed Mechanical Miners not attacking entities that are too close to it.
Fixed Industrial Smeltery's progress not showing correctly sometimes.
Fixed Stored Data tooltip not showing for Data Memory Block.
Fixed rotating elements being jittery when they aren't actually rotating.
Fixed Creative Motor UI showing empty tooltips and not coloring numbers.
