IndustrialCraft 2 – Getting StartedIndustrialCraft 2 brings electricity. Energy is measured in EU, power in EU/t. First goal: build a Treetap, tap Sticky Resin from a rubber tree and turn it into Rubber. Rubber Trees and ResinRubber trees grow in forests, swamps and taiga (rarely in plains). Look for the narrow leaf spike on top and orange resin holes on the pale trunk (up to 3 per tree). Right-click a wet hole with the Treetap: 1–3 Sticky … Energy, Cables and VoltagePower travels in packets. Each tier has a maximum size: LV 32 · MV 128 · HV 512 · EV 2048 EU/t. Careful: a machine receiving a packet that is too big explodes. Basic machines are LV. GeneratorsGenerator: 10 EU/t from fuel (coal 4000 EU, wood 750 EU). Geothermal Generator: 20 EU/t from lava (bucket or Lava Cell = 10,000 EU). Storage and TransformersBatBox 40,000 EU (LV) · CESU 300,000 (MV) · MFE 4M (HV) · MFSU 40M (EV). The front (dots) outputs power, the other 5 sides accept it. The top slot charges tools, the bottom slot drains batteries. Basic MachinesAll machines: input top left, battery slot bottom left (RE battery or redstone = 800 EU), output right, 4 upgrade slots on the edge. Hover the arrow to see why a machine is idle. Macerator 2 EU/t, 15 s: ore or raw ore → … Ore Processing and SteelStep 1: ore/raw ore → Macerator → 2 crushed ore → furnace → ingots. Enough for the start. Step 2: crushed ore + 1000 mB water → Ore Washing Plant (16 EU/t) → purified ore + 2 tiny piles of dust + Stone Dust. Purified … UpgradesOverclocker Upgrade: each time ×0.7, usage ×1.6. Transformer Upgrade: +1 voltage tier (prevents explosions). Energy Storage Upgrade: +10,000 EU buffer. Ejector Upgrade / Pulling Upgrade: push items into / pull items … Mass Fabricator and UU-MatterThe Mass Fabricator (EV) turns 1,000,000 EU into one UU-Matter. Scrap as amplifier makes it up to 6× cheaper. Redstone = pause. UU-matter crafts into resources: e.g. 9 UU = diamond, 7 UU = iridium. MinerThe Miner drills straight down with mining pipes and needs a drill (speed: mining < diamond < iridium). With an OD Scanner it mines ores in 7×7, with an OV Scanner in 13×13. Remove the drill = pipes return. Electric ToolsCharge in a BatBox/MFE or with a BatPack. Batteries: RE-Battery 10k, Energy Crystal 1M, Lapotron Crystal 10M. Mining Drill 50 EU/block, Diamond Drill 80, Iridium Drill 800 (sneak+right-click: Fortune III ↔ Silk Touch). Suits and PacksThe BatPack / LapPack charge held tools. Electric Jetpack: hold space = thrust, WASD steers (sprint = faster), sneak+right-click = hover mode (sneak = descend). More battery and speed: Advanced Jetpack (1M EU, charges … Nuclear ReactorNuclear Reactor + up to 6 chambers (each +1 column, +1000 hull). It runs only with a redstone signal — no signal = emergency stop (cooling continues). One reactor tick per second. While the reactor window is open, the … Canning Machine and PumpCanning Machine (4 EU/t): food + tin cans → filled cans (one can = 2 hunger, a steak = 4 cans) — food for the quantum helmet. It refuses spoiled food. Uranium Fuel + Fuel Rod (Empty) → Uranium Cell. Teleporter and Construction FoamLink two teleporters: click A, then B with the Frequency Transmitter. With a redstone signal a player standing on top is sent to the partner. Cost: weight (armor, full stacks) × distance — an MFE nearby helps. Charge Pad, Elevator, Tesla CoilCharge pads come in all four storage tiers: Charge Pad (BatBox), Charge Pad (CESU), Charge Pad (MFE) and Charge Pad (MFSU) — storage like the BatBox & co., just with a pad on top. Stand on one: every electric item in … Progression1. Rubber, Iron Furnace, Generator, Macerator, BatBox 2. Extractor, Compressor, Electric Furnace, drills, solar 3. Metal Former, Ore Washing Plant, Advanced Alloy, Carbon Plate, MFE 4. Thermal Centrifuge, Nuclear …
Storage – Getting StartedStorage combines four mods: Iron Chests (big chests), Storage Drawers (one item type in bulk), Ender Storage (colour-coded chests shared server-wide) and Sophisticated Backpacks (backpacks with upgrades). No power … Metal ChestsSizes like the original: Copper 45 · Iron 54 · Gold 81 · Diamond 108 · Crystal 108 · Obsidian 108 · Netherite 135 slots. Above 54 slots use the arrows at the bottom. Sort: button in the bar or sneak-right-click with an … Chest UpgradesNo unpacking: right-click a placed chest with an upgrade — it becomes the next tier, contents stay. Wood→Copper and Wood→Iron work on normal (single) chests. Chain: copper → iron → gold → diamond → crystal or obsidian → … DrawersA drawer holds lots of one item type per slot: 1x1 = 32 stacks, 1x2 = 16 per slot, 2x2 = 8 per slot (half drawers: half). The front shows the item and the count. Drawer UpgradesEvery upgrade needs an Upgrade Template. 5 slots per drawer, right-click to install. Storage: obsidian ×2, iron ×4, gold ×8, diamond ×16, emerald ×32 — several add up. Compacting DrawerOne pool in three forms: block on top, ingot bottom-left, nugget bottom-right. Insert any form, take any form — conversion is automatic (9:1, glowstone/quartz 4:1). Works with all shared metals (tin, bronze …). … Drawer ControllerThe Drawer Controller turns all connected drawers (chain of drawers or trims, up to 12 blocks) into one inventory. Hoppers/pipes on the controller: items go to drawers of the same type first, then to empty ones. Ender ChestThree wool buttons on the lid = the frequency (16×16×16 options). Click a button with dye or wool to colour it. All ender chests with the same colours share their inventory — anywhere on the server. Ender Tank and PouchEnder Pouch: opens the ender chest of its frequency from anywhere. Use it on an ender chest to copy its colours. Ender Tank: 16,000 mB per frequency. Right-click the valve (empty hand): input (blue) or output (orange … BackpacksTiers: leather 27 · copper 45 · iron 54 · gold 81 · diamond 108 · netherite 120 slots (1/1/2/3/5/7 upgrade slots). Right-click opens it. Wear it: put it in the chest slot, then sneak + F to open. Upgrading in the … Backpack UpgradesBase: Upgrade Base. Install via the upgrade button; "Settings" opens the filter (9 slots, allow/deny — just click items onto it). Pickup Upgrade, Magnet Upgrade (3 blocks), Void Upgrade. Trash CanThe Trash Can destroys items (pipes/hoppers instantly, in the window on close — until then you can change your mind), fluids and energy. Progression1. Copper/iron chest to start, leather backpack on the go. 2. Drawer wall with a controller for farms, compacting drawer for ores. 3. Ender chests between base and farms, ender pouch on the go. 4. Diamond backpack with …
AE2 – Getting StartedApplied Energistics 2 stores items digitally: an ME network of cables, drives and storage cells, used through terminals. Start with Certus Quartz Ore (underground, up to height 64). It drops certus quartz crystals … MeteoritesMeteorites leave big craters (30–40 blocks) full of gravel and rubble. A black ball of Sky Stone sits in the middle. Dig inside: the hollow core holds certus clusters, budding certus and the Mysterious Cube. EnergyVibration Chamber: burns any furnace fuel, 5 AE per burn tick, 4–40 AE/t. Coal = 8,000 AE. It throttles when storage is full. Up to 3 cards: Energy Card (+50% AE per fuel) and Acceleration Card (+50% output, up to 100 … Inscriber & ProcessorsThe Inscriber has three slots: top, middle, bottom. Press on top + ingredient in the middle → printed circuit (the press stays). Silicon: smelt Certus Quartz Dust into silicon. Charger & GrindstoneThe Charger charges Certus Quartz Crystal into Charged Certus Quartz Crystal (1,600 AE). Without power: put a Wooden Crank on top and turn it (10 turns). It also charges electric items like the Wireless Terminal. Fluix & Water TransformationsThrow Charged Certus Quartz Crystal, redstone and nether quartz into water together: you get 2 fluix crystals. Fluix is needed for cables, the controller and almost everything in the network. Growing CertusBudding certus grows buds on every free side like amethyst: small → medium → large → cluster. Mine a cluster with a pickaxe = 4 crystals (Fortune gives more). Unfinished buds only give 1 dust. ME Network, Cables & ChannelsAll ME devices that touch or are connected by cables form one network. Cables: ME Glass Cable (Fluix) (from Quartz Fiber + fluix), covered, smart, dense. Normal cables and devices carry 8 channels, dense cables 32. Drive & Storage CellsThe ME Drive holds 10 cells. Cells 1k–256k have bytes and at most 63 types: each type costs bytes upfront, 8 items = 1 byte. 1k = 8,128 items of one kind, 4k = 32,512, 16k = 130,048, 64k = 520,192, 256k = 2,080,768. TerminalsThe ME Terminal shows everything in the network (like AE2). Left: stack, right: half, shift+left: to inventory, shift+right: one item (craftables: craft), Ctrl+Q: fill your inventory with it, number key: to hotbar. With … Buses & InterfaceBuses work on the block you place them against (clicked on a chest → on the chest; clicked on a cable → facing away from it, like the original). Rotate: wrench. ME Import Bus: pulls items in. ME Export Bus: pushes … Autocrafting1. ME Pattern Encoding Terminal: put the recipe into the ghost fields (nothing is consumed), insert a Blank Pattern, "Encode". 2.

BuildCraft – Getting StartedBuildCraft is built on gears, engines and pipes. Everything starts with a Wooden Gear made of four sticks. Power is called MJ. Engines make it, wooden pipes and machines use it. GearsThe gear chain: Wooden Gear → Stone Gear (4 cobblestone) → Iron Gear (BuildCraft) (4 iron) → Gold Gear (BuildCraft) (4 gold) → Diamond Gear (4 diamonds). The shared Iron Gear and Gold Gear also work instead of the … EnginesAll engines need a redstone signal (lever, torch, dust) – each its own: engines and machines don't pass redstone on. They only output power at their piston side. The trunk shows the heat: blue → green → yellow → red → … Combustion EngineCombustion Engine: oil 3 MJ/t (one bucket ≈ 4 min) or fuel 6 MJ/t (one bucket ≈ 21 min). Its heat rises with the output (faster in deserts). Above 100 °C it needs water, which keeps it at 100 °C – fuel ≈ 2 mB/t, oil ≈ 1 … Transport PipesPipes: material – glass – material makes 8. Items glide visibly through them and pick a random free path at branches. No target? They flow back. The Wooden Transport Pipe extracts from chests and machines with engine … Fluid PipesTransport pipe + Pipe Sealant = fluid pipe. Throughput: cobblestone 10, stone/wood 20, quartz/iron 40, gold 80 mB/t. The Wooden Fluid Pipe extracts from tanks and machines with engine power. Iron Fluid Pipe has one … Kinesis PipesTransport pipe + redstone = kinesis pipe: carries MJ from engines to machines. Limits like BuildCraft 7.1: cobblestone 8, stone 16, wood 32, sandstone 32, quartz 64, gold 256, diamond 1,024 MJ/t. QuarryThe Quarry clears its area, builds a yellow-black frame and moves its drill layer by layer down to bedrock. Default: 9×9 behind the quarry. Cost: 20 + 20 × hardness MJ per block (stone 50 MJ) plus 2 MJ/t while the drill … Finding and Pumping OilYou can spot oil from far away: tall black spouts with oil running down and shiny black lakes around them. Most common in desert, badlands, taiga and ocean. Small oil lakes only appear in desert, badlands and taiga. … RefineryThe Refinery turns oil into fuel (1:1): 12 MJ per mB, at most 1 mB per tick – one bucket in 50 seconds at 12 MJ/t. Two combustion engines running on fuel give it full power. The magnets on the side pump faster the more … Building an Oil Base (step by step)1. Find a spout/oil lake, Pump above it, Redstone Engine on the pump, lever. 2. Next to the pump: tanks (stacked) – or fluid pipes to your base. 3. Power the Refinery: at first 2–4 Stirling engines or combustion engines … Auto WorkbenchSet a pattern in the Auto Workbench (click with an item, nothing is used up). Pipes or hoppers fill its storage, it crafts every half second. A wooden pipe takes the result. FillerThe Filler takes a land mark area (height via a mark on Y) and builds by pattern: fill, clear, box, walls, flatten, pyramid, stairs, cylinder (hollow). Blocks come from its storage. Like BuildCraft 7.1: 24 MJ per placed … Laser and Assembly TableThe Assembly Table needs no power itself – lasers within 4 blocks beam up to 4 MJ/t each into it. More lasers = faster. The beam colour shows the power: red up to 1, yellow up to 2, green up to 3, blue above 3 MJ/t; the … GatesInstall a Gate (made from a Redstone Chipset) into an item or fluid pipe with right-click. Sneak + empty hand opens it. If condition (redstone, pipe has contents, adjacent inventory/tank empty/full, engine hot) then … Progression1. Wooden Gear → Redstone Engine → Wooden Transport Pipe 2. Stirling Engine + kinesis pipes 3. Quarry with land marks 4. Find oil (black spouts/lakes): Pump + Tank 5. Combustion Engine on oil + water cooling 6. Refinery …
Quarry – Getting StartedThe Quarry digs a whole area layer by layer down to bedrock – automatically, even while you are away. You need: a Quarry, power (e.g. a Quarry Generator right next to it) and a chest touching the quarry. The Four TiersQuarry: 2 blocks/s, up to 16×16, 50 EU per block. Advanced Quarry: 5 blocks/s, up to 32×32, 45 EU. Elite Quarry: 10 blocks/s, up to 64×64, 40 EU. Ultimate Quarry: 20 blocks/s, up to 64×64, 35 EU. Cost rises with … LandmarksUse landmarks to pick your own rectangle: one landmark at the corner, one each in X and Z direction (same height, at most 64 blocks away). Right-click one to connect them (red lines). Then place the quarry right next to … ModulesModules go into the six slots in the GUI. Base: the Blank Module. Efficiency Module: +25% speed each (up to 4). Fortune Module: Fortune I–III (1–3 pieces), energy ×1.5/×2/×2.5. Silk Touch Module: blocks as themselves … Filter (Void)The Filter Module (Void) voids cobblestone, dirt, gravel, granite, diorite, andesite, tuff and netherrack so your chest doesn't overflow. Right-click with the module (or "Filter" in the quarry GUI): take an item on the … Pump & GeneratorWithout a Pump Module the quarry leaves water and lava alone. With it, sources go into two tanks (16,000 mB each), the rest is discarded. Tanks output to adjacent tanks. A Quarry Generator next to it burns the pumped … Laser DrillThe Laser Drill creates ores out of nothing – the world stays intact, ideal for spawn areas. It needs lots of power: 128 EU/t, 100 ticks per ore. The drill depth (GUI, default = its own height) sets the spread like the … Protection & ChunksThe quarry only mines what you would be allowed to mine: for every block it asks protection plugins and your server's build rules. Protected blocks stay. While you're offline it only continues in columns that were … Progression1. Iron plates with the forge hammer, frame parts, Control Core → Quarry + Quarry Generator. 2. Filter Module (Void) and Efficiency Module. 3. Bronze plates + Diamond Drill Head → Advanced Quarry. 4. Electrum/invar + …
Materials and YouTinkers' Construct builds tools from parts. Every part has a material with its own stats and a trait.

Thaumaturgy – Getting StartedThaumaturgy is magic made of aspects – the building blocks of all things. You need no power: strength comes from the world's vis. Underground you find infused stone. It yields vis shards. Aspects & ResearchWith the Thaumometer you scan blocks, creatures and items. Every first scan teaches aspects and grants research points. You only understand compound aspects once you know both parents. Crucible & AlchemySalis Mundus on a cauldron → Crucible. Add water, heat below (fire, lava, magma, Nitor). Thrown-in items dissolve into essentia (max 500, the rest becomes flux). Arcane WorkbenchSalis Mundus on a crafting table → Arcane Workbench. Recipes cost vis (from the wand in the wand slot or from the aura) and often shards in the side slots. Wands & FociThe first wand holds 50 vis and recharges from the aura while held. Better caps (gold, thaumium) and cores (greatwood 150, silverwood 400) follow. Sneak + right-click the air: choose a focus. InfusionRunic Matrix two blocks above a Arcane Pedestal, four pillars of 2 Arcane Stone at the corners. Ingredients on pedestals, essentia in jars (up to 8 blocks). Wand on the matrix → infusion. Aura & FluxEvery chunk holds vis that slowly recovers. Wasted magic becomes flux – too much brings flux clouds (nausea, weakness). Purge: Salis Mundus sneaking into the air or a Flux Scrubber. The Goggles of Revealing shows vis … Progression1. Shards → Salis Mundus → Thaumonomicon, Arcane Workbench, Crucible 2. Thaumometer, scanning, research table 3. Thaumium, nitor, first wand 4. Jars, alchemical furnace, foci 5. Infusion altar → elemental tools …
