Tech'n'Craft

Overview

Tech'n'Craft is an advanced technology mod that brings industrial power to Minecraft! Build massive factories, generate energy from mechanical, electrical, and nuclear sources, and automate everything with drones and conveyor systems. Progress through research to unlock increasingly powerful machines and technology.

Features

Three Energy Types: Mechanical (early game), Electrical (mid game), and Nuclear (late game) power systems
Industrial Machines: Generators, Quarries, Crushers, and Assemblers to process resources
Autonomous Drones: Mining drones, logistics drones, and combat drones that work for you
Smart Automation: Conveyors, item pipes, and energy cables to build efficient factories
Research Progression: Unlock new technology by gathering research points and discovering new tech
New Ores: Copper, Tin, and Uranium for advanced crafting

How to Use

Getting Started

Mine the new ores found underground: Copper, Tin, and Uranium
Craft a Research Table to begin unlocking technologies
Start with Basic Mechanics research to access early machines
Build a Mechanical Generator for your first power source

Energy System

Mechanical Energy: Generated by Mechanical Generators, powers basic machines like Quarries and Crushers
Electrical Energy: Generated by Electrical Generators, powers advanced machines and drones
Nuclear Energy: Generated by Nuclear Reactors (requires uranium fuel), powers the most powerful machines

Using Machines

Right-click on any machine to see its current status (energy level, progress, etc.)
Connect machines with Energy Cables to share power
Use Conveyors to move items between machines automatically
Use the Wrench to configure machine connections

Drones

Place a Drone Station and insert drone items
Use the Drone Controller to assign tasks to your drones
Mining drones harvest resources automatically
Logistics drones transport items between containers
Combat drones defend your base from hostile mobs

Research

Collect Research Notes to gain research points
Use the Research Table to spend points on new technologies
Each technology unlocks new machines, items, or abilities
Some technologies require prerequisites to be unlocked first

Tips & Tricks

Start with copper processing - it unlocks many essential components
Energy Storage blocks are great for buffering power during peak usage
Nuclear Reactors generate massive power but need cooling - watch the heat level!
Drones need to return to their station to recharge
Connect multiple generators to an Energy Storage block for a stable power grid

Known Limitations

Some advanced GUI screens are still in development
Drone pathfinding is basic and will be improved in future updates
Nuclear reactor meltdown mechanics are not yet implemented
