Mekanism

Most Machines, atleast the simple ones, can use Upgrades! Upgrades are in the Top Right of the GUI. This screen might be confusing but don't worry I'll explain it! First, the bottom shows the Supported Upgrades. The clear Upgrades are Supported while the more transperant ones are not! You can also hover over them with your Mouse to see their names and if they are Supported. Upgrades are added through the Top Slot, they'll then show up in the Right. Here you can Click them to see how many are in the Machine and see their Effect! If you'd like to take our Upgrades out, Click the one you want out, then hit the Uninstall Button. This will move the Upgrade into the Bottom Slot.

Mekanism has a couple of Machines just made for Coloring! There is 3 Machines we'll need to use and yes, in order! The Pigment Extractor will take the Color out of Dyed Blocks and make a Pigment! Pigments are Chemicals, and are used just like other Chemicals: moved through Tubes and held in Chemical Tanks. Pigment Mixer will take 2 Pigments and combine them into a new Color Pigment. This can even make some new Colors made for Mekanism Items! Painting Machine will take those Pigments and apply them to Blocks and Items that can be Dyed, to Dye them. This even works on Items that are already Dyed, you can't do that in Vanilla!

Asks for: Painting Machine, Pigment Extractor, Pigment Mixer

The Thermal Evaporation Plant is a Multiblock that takes Water, and uses Heat to make it into Brine. It will also use Heat to make Brine into Liquid Lithium! To start you'll need a lotta Thermal Evaporation Blocks. The base is 4x4 and only ever 4x4 of Thermal Evaporation Blocks. The Walls need to be atleast 3 Blocks tall and a max of 18. The inside and top must be hollow like most Multiblocks. The Water and Brine needs to be held somewhere. Within the Walls (not the corners) we can put our Valves and Controller! The Controller is how we access the Thermal Evaporation Plant's GUI. There we can see the Heat that is has. We'll only need 1 Controller. Valves are how we move Water and Brine in, Brine and Liquid Lithium out, and optionally Heat in! You won't need to configure the Valves, only the Pipes and Conductors need to be configured. The top layer of the Plant can't have the corners filled in with Thermal Evaporation Blocks. You can add Advanced Solar Generators on the corners of the top layer though if you want more Heat! Make a 4x4 of Thermal Blocks for the Base. This part can be any size as long as the Thermal Evaporation Plant is between 3 Blocks and 18 Blocks Tall. It is also where we place our Valves and Controllers. The Corners must be Empty or filled with Advanced Solar Generators on the Top Level. You'll know it is set when the Controller lights up!

Asks for: Thermal Evaporation Block, Thermal Evaporation Controller, Thermal Evaporation Valve

Mekanism is a tech mod that will change the way you play Minecraft. The mod focuses on breaking down materials to their chemical makeup, and getting the best out of every material you come across. This mod features Hydrogen-Powered Jetpacks, a mini-robotic friend, Reactors, a Digital Miner to automate mining, and much, much more. Trust me, you'll see why it is used in almost every ATM Modpack!

Osmium is an Ore that spawns below Y Level 56. It's Ore is in similar shape to Emerald with the Color being a Blue-ish Grey! It will be useful for many of the Machines used in Mekanism! So you'll need a lot of it! You can also Craft Armor and Tools from it! The Armor and Sword are same Points as Netherite! While the Pickaxe is the same as an Iron Pickaxe.

Asks for: Osmium Ingot

The first and most important Machine is the Metallurgic Infuser! The Metallurgic Infuser will combine an Item and a Chemicals to Craft new Items and Alloys. Chemicals or Infuse Types will go into the Yellow Square and will show up in the Bar to the Left of it. The Red Square will hold the Item that gets Infused. The Dark Blue Square will be where the product goes to! To the Right, the Light Green Slot and Bar are for Energy! If you need to make room in the Chemical Bar, use the DUMP Button. This will eject all Chemicals in it!

Asks for: Metallurgic Infuser

The last of the important Infused Items is the Basic Control Circuit. These ones are made by combining 20mB of Redstone with an Osmium Ingot. Check out the Infused Alloy Quest to learn how to add Redstone to the Metallurgic Infuser!

Asks for: Basic Control Circuit

One of the 3 most important Infused Items is the Infused Alloy. To make it we'll need to Infuse a Copper Ingot with 10mB of Redstone. How do we get 10mB of Redstone you ask? By placing a Redstone Item into the Yellow Square of the Metallurgic Infuser! We'll lose the Redstone Item and different Items give different amounts. Redstone Dust gives 10mB, Enriched Redstone gives 80mB, and a Block of Redstone gives 90mB.

Asks for: Infused Alloy

Basic Tier is the simplest, cheapest, and worst Tier of Machines and Blocks! Well unless you count Default Machines as a whole new Tier but I don't. I just count it with Basic. Machines will start at default and can be Upgraded to Basic. While other Blocks like Pipes or Energy Cubes will start at Basic. All of these are made from Redstone, Basic Control Circuits, and sometimes Iron!

Asks for: Basic Control Circuit, Redstone

Don't like picking up your Machines to Upgrade them? Why not just use an Item! With Tier Installers you can just use the Item on the Machine to Upgrade them! Throw the Basic Tier Installer onto a Default Machine to upgrade them to Basic Tier. No, you can't skip upgrades. Can't turn a Basic into Ultimate with one Installer.

Asks for: Advanced Tier Installer, Basic Tier Installer, Elite Tier Installer, Ultimate Tier Installer

90% of Mekanism Machines will need Energy to run. Mekanism uses FE to run Machines! 1kFE is 1000 FE, and 1mFE is 1,000,000 FE! The Energy Tablet is Mekanism's version of the Battery. It will also be needed to Craft most Generators. Yes, Mekanism has Generators and yes, they are awesome!

Asks for: Energy Tablet

The Heat Generator has 2 modes to generate Energy. Passive: Surrounding the Generator with Lava Source or flowing blocks creates passive Energy by creating Heat. Place one Lava Source Block on top, and let it flow over the sides. Make sure to connect Pipes first! Active: Placing combustible materials such as Coal or Wood into the Generator will burn the fuel to create Energy. It now creates 320FE/t.

Asks for: Heat Generator

Energy Tablets not holding enough Energy? Then, you'll need some Energy Cubes! Energy Cubes can have Energy Cabled in and out of it. Each has a set amount of storage for Energy that is determined by their Tier. All sides of an Energy Cube can take or place Energy, that is determined by whether Cables are Pushing or Pulling. Basic: will hold 1.6mFE. Advanced: will hold 6.4mFE. Elite: will hold 25.6mFE. Ultimate: will hold 102.4mFE.

Asks for: Advanced Energy Cube, Basic Energy Cube, Elite Energy Cube, Ultimate Energy Cube

Chargepads will Charge any Items on the Player when the Player steps onto the Pad! Obviously it will need Energy within it to work. We can add that in on the Back or Bottom of the Chargepad. Once it has Energy within it, it will Charge each Item in your Inventory that can hold a Charge! Doesn't matter the Mod it is from either! It will prioritize the first Items in your Inventory and once it is full it will Charge the next. How quickly it fills the Items seems to be the same for every Item.

Asks for: Chargepad

The Dictionary isn't helpful to the average Player: it doesn't Mine, Place Blocks, Craft, Smelt, really interact with anything. Instead it is used for finding Tags! We can Right Click a Block with the Dictionary in Hand and the Blocks Tags will show up in Chat. We can do the same with Entities. Is that not enough? Well we can also Shift Right Click to open up our Dictionary! Here we can see the Items in our Inventory and check all the different Tags for them. From Item, to Potion, to Enchantment Tags, nothing can hide from the Dictionary!

Asks for: Dictionary

The Flamethrower is one of the Ranged Weapons Mekanism offers. Like the Jetpack it uses Hydrogen as Fuel and is loaded just the same way as the Jetpack. We can press (N) to change its modes. Combat: will set Mobs on Fire and do Damage, but won't Burn Blocks or Items. Heat: from what I can tell can only do the same. Inferno: Burns everything!

Asks for: Flamethrower

Free Runners are different from the other Armors, these will use Energy instead of a Chemical Fuel. When Powered and tied onto your Feet, you can press (B) they will start working and you can press it again to switch it's modes. Regular: the Free Runners will protect you from Fall Damage and Auto-Jump over Blocks for you. Safety: will prevent Fall Damage but won't Auto-Jump. (The preferred Method). Disabled: Free Runners won't protect or Auto-Jump, just look stylish! You can also Upgrade Free Runners to give them Armor Protection, just like the Jetpack.

Asks for: Free Runners

The Portable Teleporter will allow you to Teleport to any (Powered) Teleporter. Of course it does need Energy as well, so you'll need to Charge it. And Right Click it to set it to you for Security reasons. After it is Charged and yours, you can Right Click to open its GUI. Here you can Click any Network and hit the Teleport Button to Teleport to that Teleporter. No, you can't Teleport to the Portable Teleporter, it's an Item...

Asks for: Portable Teleporter

The Mekanism Jetpack works similar to Iron Jetpacks just with different Modes and it requires Hydrogen as Fuel instead of Energy! Just place some Hydrogen in the Jetpack by putting it in a Machine that has Hydrogen. Funny enough the Electrolytic Separator also has Hydrogen when it has Oxygen! Once you strap it on your Back you can press (G) to switch between the Modes. Regular: hold Jump to go up, you will move in any direction you hit with WASD and if you don't you will only go up. When you release Jump Button you will Fall. Hover: same controls as Default but with slower movement and you won't Fall when you release Jump. You can lower by hitting (Shift). Vector: won't respond to WASD and instead will move to where the Player is looking when holding Jump to go up. Disabled: doesn't work! By the way, you can upgrade the Jetpack with a few Blocks and Items to make it have Armor Protection!

Asks for: Jetpack

The Gauge Dropper is a useful Tool for clearing out Chemical Inventories. In a Machine's GUI, pick up the Gauge Dropper and drag it over the Chemicals in the Machine. Then, just Right Click and it'll remove the Chemicals and add them to the Dropper. I should have specified, we can get those Chemicals back from the Gauge Dropper by clicking any Chemical Storage like a tank or clear the Dropper by shift-clicking it in the air.

Asks for: Gauge Dropper

The Scube Set is both a Helmet and Chestplate that will give you Water Breathing when worn! In order to get Breathing though, we'll need to give our Scube Tank some Oxygen. Just place it within a Machine that has some, like an Electrolytic Separator and it will slowly fill up! Then, put on both the Scube Mask and Scube Tank and press (G) to turn it on. Once the Scube Gear is on, it will use up the Oxygen allowing you to Breath Underwater!

Asks for: Scuba Mask, Scuba Tank

Now that we have our Metallurgic Infusion and hopefully some Energy, we can start making Steel! We'll need Carbon in our Chemical Bar. We can use Coal, Charcoal, or any varients of those in the Chemical Slot to add Carbon. Then, if we add an Iron Ingot/Dust into the Item Slot, it will Infuse it with 10mB of Carbon to make Enriched Iron. We'll need to repeat that step just now with adding 10mB of Carbon to turn our Enriched Iron into Steel Dust! Smelt the Dust to get a Steel Ingot. Steel is used for pretty much everything! Machines, Tools, Upgrades, Reactors, Energy Cells! You'll need a lot of it.

Asks for: Steel Ingot

Come on we all know what you are here for... MACHINES! Machines are our little Factories, each will do something unique in gaining us more Items. Follow the individual Quests to find out what each does. Here I will talk more on the Configs and Upgrades! All Machines are different but the Colors of Slots and Bars will tell what they are for! Light Green: Energy. Red: Initial Item/Fluid/Chemical. Blue: Product. Cyan: Second Product. Yellow: Infuse Types. Each Machine has default Config Sides. These are where Items will be Input and Output. You can change these in the GUI of the Machine in Side Configs. It will change for Items, Fluids, Chemicals, and Energy but each has similar Sides that can be changed. Red: Input. Orange: Second Input. Blue: Output. Cyan: Second Output. Purple: Both Input and Output. Light Green: Energy. Yellow: Extra like Infuse Types. You'll need to set the GUI to Auto-Eject if you want Items to be Input and Output! Some Machines can also use Upgrades! These are in the Top Right of the GUI. Here you can see which Upgrades the Machine can use. When you put them in it'll tell you how many it can hold. Speed Upgrades can hold more while Muffling doesn't need more!

Asks for: Steel Casing

Mekanism Machines can be pretty loud! Let's stop that!

The Enrichment Chamber will Enrich Items that go through it. Just place the Items in the Red Slots and the Enriched Items will come out of the Blue Slots. What is an Enriched Item? Or what happens when an Item gets Enriched? Either we get more of it the Items it can be made into or change the Item themselves! We can get 2 Dust from 1 Ore. We can get more Dyes from one Flower. We can even change Copper Stages or take Moss off Cobblestone! With later Tiers of Enrichment Chambers we get even more Slots to Enrich more Items at once. We also get the ability to Auto-Sort. With the press of this Button! We can set it so the Stacks of Items will be evenly distributed to each Slot so the Machine is more Efficient.

Asks for: Enrichment Chamber

Some Machines will use Chemicals especially to add to Items. Think, Metallurgic Infuser, Chemical Injector, and Purifiers. These will basically use less Chemicals for the same Tasks! I can't promise it'll work with every Item and Machine. And no, I am not testing with every Machine!

Asks for: Chemical Upgrade

Almost every Machine will use Energy, and when we got dozens of them... it's definitely not easy on our Grids. If we add Energy Upgrades, the Machines will do the same Task, just now requiring less Energy to complete! If only we can put these on the S.P.S.!

Asks for: Energy Upgrade

Using the Enrichment Chamber, you can Enrich Items to convert them into Enriched variants. These Enriched Items give 8x the amount of mb in a Metallurgic Infuser. Enriched Coal will help make more Steel. Enriched Redstone will help with Infused Alloys and Basic Control Circuits. And Enriched Refined Obisidian will help make Ultimate Items!

The very first and simplest Ore Processing is just 2 Machines! Enrichers and Smelters! We can use Ore Blocks to get twice the Dust or Raw Ore to get 1/3 more. So 3 Raw Ore to get 4 Dust. Throw the Ore into the Enricher and you'll get Dust! Then, Smelt that Dust to get Ingots! Congrats, you just Ore Processed!

Electrolytic Separator will take 1 Fluid and split it into 2 Chemicals! The Fluid will go in the Red Bar and the Chemicals will appear in the Blue and Cyan Bars. We also get two Buttons on each of the bottom sides of the GUI. These will switch between functions of the two Output Bars. Idle will just reach the limit it can and won't take anymore. So if it is full on Hydrogen it will no longer use Water. Dumping Excess will reach the top but will dump enough to keep producing each Chemical. This is helpful for those who need lots of Oxygen but not Hydrogen. Dumping will delete all of that Chemical that is made.

Asks for: Electrolytic Separator

The Rotary Condensator might make Gas from Liquids, but the Chemical Oxidizer can turn (some) Items into Gas! This includes Infuse Types like Coal to Carbon. This will also be needed for taking Wasted Combs and Lithium Combs into their Chemicals! Items will go in the Red Slot and their new Gas forms will appear in the Blue Bar.

Asks for: Chemical Oxidizer

Chemical Infuser will take 2 different Chemicals and... combine them. This isn't helpful early game, but later on it'll be very important!

For the next Tier of Ore Processing we'll need Purifiers and they'll need Oxygen. So, let's make some Oxygen! Use an Electric Pump or any Automated Water to feed Water into an Electrolytic Separator. Once fed Energy and Water, the Electrolytic Separator will turn that H2O into H (Hydrogen) and O (Oxygen)! We can dump the Hydrogen, and Pipe the Oxygen into the Purifier. Now that the Purifier has Oxygen, we can place our Ores into it to get 3 Ore Clumps from Ore Blocks or 2 Ore Clumps from Raw Ore.

Asks for: Advanced Purifying Factory, Basic Purifying Factory, Electric Pump, Electrolytic Separator, Elite Purifying Factory, Purification Chamber

No, no, no, no, no more using Coal to power our Furnaces, we need Coal for Steel! Here use the Energized Smelter instead! It uses Energy to Smelt Items!

If we want even more Ores! We'll need a better way of Processing our Ores. Hydrogen won't work, let's try Hydrogen Chloride. Obviously for that we'll need Chlorine! Look at the Thermal Evaporation Plant Quest to learn in better detail how to Craft the Mutliblock, but basically we'll need one. Feed Water into a Thermal Evaporation Plant to (slowly) make Brine. Throw that Brine into an Electrolytic Separator to get Sodium and Chlorine! Sodium is helpful for Fission Reactor... but not Ore Processing!

Asks for: Electric Pump, Electrolytic Separator, Thermal Evaporation Block, Thermal Evaporation Controller, Thermal Evaporation Valve

Good good, now we got Chlorine. What else do we need for Hydrogen Chloride? Oh yeah, Hydrogen! Feed some Water to an Electrolytic Separator, like in Tier 1, to get Hydrogen and Oxygen. Just this time we need to keep the Hydrogen. With our Chemical Infuser we can combine Hydrogen and Chlorine to make Hydrogen Chloride. Pipe that Hydrogen Chloride into a Chemical Injection Chamber to Inject Ores to get Shards. Ore Blocks will get 4 Ore Shards while 3 Raw Ores will get 8 Ore Shards.

Asks for: Chemical Infuser, Chemical Injection Chamber, Electric Pump, Electrolytic Separator

Again? Dude, we want Ingots not Clumps and not Shards! INGOTS! Throw those Ore Shards into a Purifier with Oxygen (most likely from our previous Electrolytic Separator) to make Ore Clumps. Now we just repeat steps from previous Tier. Crush the Clumps to get Dirty Dust. Enrich the Dirty Dust to clean it. Then, Smelt the Dust to get our Ingots!

How fun! A shopping List of Chemicals! What are we Walter White? First, and most important, for Sulfuric Acid, is Sulfur! Mine some then Oxidize it to get Sulfur Dioxide. We'll need a little more Oxygen though, so let's get some more with an Electrolytic Separator being fed Water. Then, combine that new-found Oxygen with the Sulfur Dioxide in a Chemical Infuser to get Sulfur Trioxide. Leave that Sulfur whatever for a moment until we get Water Vapor! To get Water Vapor, put Water through a Rotary Condensator.

Asks for: Sulfur, Chemical Infuser, Chemical Oxidizer, Electric Pump, Electrolytic Separator, Rotary Condensentrator

This is a great option for automatically generating Energy. The amount of Energy the Wind Generator creates is based on its Y Level. This generates around 90FE/t at sea level and the most it can produce is 360FE/t! The Wind Generator will also need Sky above it to work, like a Beacon!

Asks for: Wind Generator

Now use another Chemical Infuser to Infuse our Water Vapor and Sulfur Trioxide. Now we have our Sulfuric Acid! Pipe the Sulfuric Acid into a C.D.C. to Melt down our Ores with Acid. This will give us Dirty Ore Slurry, a Chemical form of Ores. 3 Raw Ore will give 2 Buckets of Ore Slurry and 1 Ore Block will give 1 Bucket of Ore Slurry. We can't go around with Dirty Ore Slurry, it's embarrassing! We'll need to clean it! Start up a Chemical Washer and put some Water (and laundry detergent) into it. Every 5mb of Dirty Slurry will be turned into 3mb of Ore Slurry. Now that our Slurry is all clean, we can put it into a Chemical Crystallizer. This will give us Ore Crystals! Yes, different from Shards and Clumps. Each 200mb of Ore Slurry is equal to 1 Crystal.

Asks for: Chemical Crystallizer, Chemical Dissolution Chamber, Chemical Infuser, Chemical Washer

Our Crystals will need even more Processing! Repeat the previous steps of making a Thermal Evaporation Plant to create Brine. Use an Electrolytic Separator to Separate the Chlorine from the Brine. Then get Oxygen from putting Water into an Electrolytic Separator. Combine the Chlorine and Hydrogen in a Chemical Infuser to get Hydrogen Chloride! With our Chemical Injector, we can Inject the Crystals with Hydrogen Chloride to get 2 Ore Shards from each Ore Crystal.

Asks for: Chemical Infuser, Chemical Injection Chamber, Electric Pump, Electrolytic Separator, Thermal Evaporation Block, Thermal Evaporation Controller

This seems familiar? Now we have Shards again. Before we do anything with them though, we'll need Oxygen. Throw Water into an Electrolytic Separator to get Oxygen. Then, Tube that Oxygen from the Separator to the Purifier. With that Oxygen, the Purifier can turn your Shards into Ore Clumps. Now, Crush those Clumps to get Dirty Dust. Then, Enrich those Dirty Dust to get Ore Dust. And finally Smelt that Dust, to get our beautifully Processed Ore!

What a Bucket isn't enough? A Stack of Buckets isn't enough either? Then friend, you'll need some Fluid Tanks! Fluid Tanks can hold multiple Buckets of one Fluid within them and can then be moved around like a Bucket. These unfortunately can not place Source Blocks though. To add or take out Fluid, you'll need Mechanical Pipes configured to do either or. Basic: will hold 32 Buckets of Fluids. Advanced: will hold 64 Buckets of Fluids. Elite: will hold 128 Buckets of Fluid. Ultimate: will hold 256 Buckets.

Asks for: Advanced Fluid Tank, Basic Fluid Tank, Elite Fluid Tank, Ultimate Fluid Tank

Dynamic Tanks are Multiblocks which can be made at any size that is atleast 3x3x3! Dynamic Tanks will hold a ton of one Fluid or Chemical. How many Buckets of that Fluid or Chemical can the Tank hold? That matters on the size. Dynamic Tanks are made out of Dynamic Tank Blocks with the inside of the Structure being hollow. The Walls can be made with Structure or Reactor Glass but the frame will need to be made of Dynamic Tank Blocks. You'll also need Dynamic Tank Ports in the Walls to actually take and place Fluids and Chemicals. Whether it takes or places is determined by whether they Push or Pull.

Asks for: Dynamic Tank, Dynamic Valve

The Crusher does as the name suggests! Just like every other Mod's Crushers... We can get Dust from Ingots, Cobble from Stone, and Bio Fuel from Plants! Dust will be needed for lots of Recipes so you'll definitely need this. Especially for making Upgrades!

Asks for: Crusher

Bio Fuel is made by Crushing up some Plants! All types of different Plants each giving a different amount! Pumpkin Pie gives the most Bio Fuel but Melon Slices are most efficient. Bio Fuel can be used in a ton of different ways! We can Power a Bio-Generator, Infuse Items with Chemical Bio Fuel, or...

Asks for: Bio Fuel

Some Recipes will require Ore Dusts! Thanks to AllTheOres, we can make Ore Dusts in a million different ways! The Mekanism ways are with the Crusher and Enrichment Chamber. We can Crush Ingots into Dust. Or Enrich Ore Blocks to get 2 Dusts.

Refined Obsidian will be important for many Items and Machines within Mekanism especially at Ultimate Tier. First, we'll need to Crush Obsidian to get Obsidian Dust. Obviously you need to use a Crusher for that. Then, we can use the Metallurgic Infuser to Infuse the Obsidian Dust with Chemical Diamond. I'd recommend using Enriched Diamonds to get the most bang for your buck! Now we get a few choices of what to do with it, either Enrich it to get more Chemical Refined Obsidian or...

Asks for: Refined Obsidian Dust

Throw the Refined Obsidian Dust into an Osmium Compressor and Compress some Osmium into it! I think that's how the Osmium Compressor works... Now we'll have Refined Obsidian Ingots, these can be made into other Machines or even Tools and Armor!

Asks for: Refined Obsidian Ingot

With 2 Bio Fuel we can make 1 Substrate through the P.R.C.. Well... we'll also need Water and Hydrogen in the P.R.C. but then we'll get our Substrate and also Chemical Ethene. In order to make HDPE Pellets we'll need our Substrate as well as turning our Chemical Ethene into Liquid Ethene. We can use a Rotary Condensator to turn it Liquid! Now throw both of our Liquid Ethene and Substrates into the P.R.C. to make HDPE Pellets! We can then Craft 4 Pellets together to make a HDPE Rod or Enrich 3 of them to make a HDPE Sheet.

Asks for: HDPE Pellet

Teleporters will allow us to Teleport anywhere in any Dimension as long as the Machine is made and Powered! Now how do we make it and Power it? First, to make the Teleporter we'll need 1 Teleporter Block and 9 Teleporter Frames. The Teleporter Block is the main Controller of the Teleporter. It is the Block that will need Energy, and once Powered we can open it. Here we can set a Network similar to the Quantum Entangloporter, type in a name and click the Checkmark to make the Network! Now when other Teleporter Structures or Teleporter Blocks, are set to that Network (by clicking the named Network in their GUI) you can use the Teleporter to obviously Teleport to the other Teleporters at the same Network. Now about making the Teleporter Structure. Place a Teleporter Frame on each side of the Teleporter Block. Above those place 3 more to make it 4 Blocks high. With 2 Blocks space above the Teleporter Block, you can place our last Teleporter Frames. Now when Powered and set, the Teleporter will be ready and you can walk through whatever colored Portal spawned! (You can change the Color for each in the Teleporter GUI!) Place the Teleporter Block with 2 Teleporter Frames next to it. Now place Teleporter Frames on the previous ones. Repeat. Now, we'll need a whole row of Teleporter Frames for the top. Once everything is set, the Portal of your choosing should appear like so!

Asks for: Teleporter, Teleporter Frame

Advanced is the Upgrade to Basic. Advanced Machines will hold more Items, move more Items, and have more Slots than Basic Tier. Advanced are made from Infused Alloys, Advanced Control Circuit, and usually Osmium! Advanced Control Circuits are made from 2 Infused Alloys and a Basic Control Circuit.

Asks for: Advanced Control Circuit, Infused Alloy

Elite Tier comes right after Advanced. These have the same buffs as Advanced... just more! Elite are made with Reinforced Alloys, Elite Control Circuits, and most times Gold Ingots. You can get Reinforced Alloys from Infusing an Infused Alloy with 20mb of Diamond. That is 2 Diamond Dust or 1/4 Enriched Diamond! You can then use those Reinforced Alloys (2 of them) with an Advanced Control Circuit to make the Elite Control Circuit.

Asks for: Reinforced Alloy, Elite Control Circuit

Ultimate Tier is the best we can get from Mekanism! Well atleast in Survival. These will give the most Slots, hold the most Items, and move the most Items! Each Ultimate Tier will need Atomic Alloys, Ultimate Control Circuits, and Diamonds. Atomic Alloys will need Refined Obsidian to create, follow the Osmium Compressor Quest to get those. But basically we'll need to Infuse a Reinforced Alloy with 20mb of Refined Obsidian. Then, combine 2 Atomic Alloys with 1 Elite Control Circuit to make the Ultimate Control Circuit!

Asks for: Atomic Alloy, Ultimate Control Circuit

"Through using highly detailed Atomic Machinery we can take all Matter apart to the molecular level and move those molecules through specific wave lengths..." Oh come on this is just Magic! With 2 Quantum Entangloporters we can Wirelessly move Items, Fluids, Chemicals, Heat, and Energy! First, we need to connect the Quantum Entangloporters. We do this by going into the Text Bar of one, and typing out a Network name. It can be Numbers, Letters, Symbols, whatever just Type it and hit the Checkmark Button! Then, go into the second Quantum Entangloporter and Click the name of the Set Network Name. Now they are connected. After that, Connect your Pipes, Tubes, Cables whatever, to a Quantum Entangloporter and place more or even a Machine to the other one. Once that is all ready, change the Side Configs in order to actually move our things around. Don't forget to set Auto-Eject!

Asks for: Quantum Entangloporter

The Precision Sawmill will work to "recycle" Wood Items. Just give it some Energy and throw a Wood Item in and wait! It will turn Beds into 3 Wood Planks and 3 Wool. Doors into Wood Planks. And Logs into 6 Planks instead of 4! It will also turn Sticks into Sawdust which is needed for the Cardboard Box!

Asks for: Precision Sawmill

Only one of the most powerful Tools in all of Modded Minecraft! The Cardboard Box! These are made with very simple ingrediants, just 4 Sawdust. Sawdust is made from putting Sticks into a Precision Sawmill. Now that we hopefully have one, just Right Click a Block with it and the Block will be placed into the Cardboard Box. Now we can break the Cardboard Box and move the Block by placing it again and Shift Right Clicking it to remove the Box. Some Blocks won't work like Bedrock or End Portal Frames... but there's so many more that will! Like Obsidian, Reinforced Deepslate, and Spawners!
