Patch
- Energy Generators will now push energy to the last generator block in a row as well as to a non-energy generating block. For example, a row of solar panels can be connected together in a row and all power can be pulled from the last panel in the row.

- Mousing over the progress bar on all machines will now show progress percentage
- Clicking the progress bar on all machines will now open JEI recipes (where installed)

Features
- Added experimental Algorithmic Optimiser machine. Inspired by Machine Learning supercomputers, this block improves the efficiency and resource use of neighbouring (NSEW & up/down in configurable range) blocks. Fine-tune which boosts to apply in the Optimiser's GUI. Machines affected by the Optimiser are the Scrubber, Tissue Bioreactor, Scaffolder, Processor, Shredder, Injector and Algae Bioreactor.
- Added Circuit Board items. Circuit boards come in Basic, Advanced and Superior types which can be used in the Optimiser to provide increased efficiency boosts. Circuit Boards provide a number of 'cores' or points which can be assigned to specific tasks in the Optimiser.
Note: The Algorithmic Optimiser is still under development and therefore experimental. Please report any bugs and suggestions on the GitHub issue tracker

- General improvements to animation system.
Note: If you've been keeping up to date with the other Beta releases, there are no major changes from 1.3.15-beta in this version. If you're updating from 1.3.3 (Release), please make a backup of your world just in case!
I am now concentrating on porting Emerging Technology to the latest Minecraft versions (1.14+), so updates will mainly consist of bug fixes for a little while.
