What is Growth Accelerator Tiers?
Growth Accelerator Tiers is part of this pack. The pack ships version 1.0.1 of the mod, built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been in the pack since the 1.0 release or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the mod list rather than a recent addition.[1]
Unverified The sources I have don't describe what the mod's items or blocks do, how they are crafted in this pack, or whether the pack changed any recipes or configs. I'm not going to guess at mechanics. Check in-game with the recipe viewer before you plan a build around it. This site does hold All the Mods 10: To the Sky's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.
Unverified No quests and no ATM Star path steps were found for this mod, and no in-jar guidebook was found either. Where it fits in the pack's progression is unconfirmed, so treat it as an optional extra rather than a required step.
How do you get started with Growth Accelerator Tiers?
3 parts
Growth Accelerator Tiers adds upgraded variants of the Growth Accelerator. Each one is its own item with its own in-pack recipe, so you can pick the one that fits how you want to grow your buds. Here is the order I'd go in.[2][3]
Start with the Cranked Growth Accelerator
The Cranked Growth Accelerator does not connect to a network and only works when powered by the Wooden Crank. That makes it the simplest one to understand: you place it and crank it.[2][3]

Step up to the Boosted Growth Accelerator
The Boosted Growth Accelerator is described in its tooltip as faster than your average Growth Accelerator. If speed is what you're after, this is the one to aim for. Check the recipe below before you start gathering.[2][3]

Take control with the Directional Growth Accelerator
The Directional Growth Accelerator forces buds to grow in a specific direction, and that direction is up by default.[2][3]
Crafting Shaped
| any diamond gem | any diamond gem | |
| any netherite ingot | any netherite ingot |
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:directional_growth_accelerator
To change that direction, right click the accelerator with a Directional Modifier. Craft the modifier alongside the accelerator so you can set it up as soon as you place it.[2][3]

Unverified The sources here show no quests for this mod and no in-jar guidebook, so the pack's quest book and the mod itself give no guidance on when to build each tier.
How does Growth Accelerator Tiers work?
4 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide
Growth Accelerator Tiers adds upgraded versions of the AE2 Growth Accelerator: the Boosted Growth Accelerator, the Directional Growth Accelerator and the Cranked Growth Accelerator. Each one has a speed multiplier for ticking the blocks next to it, and you can read it in the config. The pack changes some of those values, so the numbers below are the pack's, not the mod's defaults.[4][5]
Boosted Growth Accelerator
This is the straightforward upgrade: it is faster than your average Growth Accelerator. Its speed multiplier is 4 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Boosted Growth Accelerator.boosted_speed_multiplier]]), which is the mod default. A value of 1.0 would match the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator.[4][5]
The pack raises its running power consumption to 200 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Boosted Growth Accelerator.boosted_idle_power_consumption]]). The mod default is 42, and the config notes that 8 would imitate the normal AE2 accelerator. The internal energy multiplier stays at the default of 40 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Boosted Growth Accelerator.boosted_internal_energy_multiplier]]).[5]

Directional Growth Accelerator
This one forces buds to grow in a specific direction, and that direction is up by default. To change it, right click the accelerator with a Directional Modifier.[4]

The pack changes both of its main values. The speed multiplier is 1.6 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Directional Growth Accelerator.directional_speed_multiplier]]) instead of the mod default of 2. Running power consumption is 160 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Directional Growth Accelerator.directional_idle_power_consumption]]) instead of 20. The internal energy multiplier is unchanged at 32 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Directional Growth Accelerator.directional_internal_energy_multiplier]]).[5]

Cranked Growth Accelerator
The Cranked accelerator does not connect to a network. It only works when powered by the Wooden Crank.[4]
Its values are all the mod defaults: a speed multiplier of 8 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Cranked Growth Accelerator.cranked_speed_multiplier]]), running power consumption of 8 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Cranked Growth Accelerator.cranked_idle_power_consumption]]) and an internal energy multiplier of 20 ([[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Cranked Growth Accelerator.cranked_internal_energy_multiplier]]). The config notes that 8 power would imitate the normal AE2 accelerator.[5]
Crafting Shaped
| any cobblestone | any cobblestone | |
| any iron ingot | any plank | any iron ingot |

Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:cranked_growth_accelerator
Reading the config
- Speed multiplier: how much the accelerator ticks adjacent blocks. 1.0 imitates the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator.[5]
- Idle power consumption: the power used while running. 8 imitates the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator.[5]
- Internal energy multiplier: scales the accelerator's internal power inventory. 10 imitates the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator.[5]
How do you progress through Growth Accelerator Tiers?
4 parts
Growth Accelerator Tiers adds new crafted versions of the AE2 Growth Accelerator: the Cranked Growth Accelerator, the Boosted Growth Accelerator and the Directional Growth Accelerator. There is also a helper item, the Directional Modifier. Each one is shown below with its in-pack recipe.[2]
Cranked Growth Accelerator
This recipe is the only one of the tiers that does not use an existing AE2 Growth Accelerator as an ingredient. It starts from an AE2 Wooden Crank instead, and it needs no netherite and no AE2 cores.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any cobblestone | any cobblestone | |
| any iron ingot | any plank | any iron ingot |
| any cobblestone | any cobblestone |
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:cranked_growth_accelerator
Boosted Growth Accelerator
The Boosted tier is crafted from a standard AE2 Growth Accelerator, so you need to have that built first. Its recipe also asks for netherite, which means you will be well into the game before you can make it.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any emerald gem | any emerald gem | |
| any netherite ingot | any netherite ingot |
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:boosted_growth_accelerator
Directional Growth Accelerator
The Directional tier also builds on a standard AE2 Growth Accelerator and needs netherite, but it uses a different AE2 core from the Boosted one.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any diamond gem | any diamond gem | |
| any netherite ingot | any netherite ingot |
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:directional_growth_accelerator
Directional Modifier
The Directional Modifier has its own separate recipe, and it does not need netherite or a Growth Accelerator.[2]

Unverified The sources here do not show any quest chapter that guides you through these accelerators, so the order the pack's quest book wants you to build them in is not confirmed. They also do not show the growth speed of each tier or what the Directional Modifier does once crafted.
How does Growth Accelerator Tiers work with other mods?
3 parts
In this pack, Growth Accelerator Tiers connects to exactly one other mod: AE2. Every in-pack recipe that links the two mods is a crafting recipe for one of this mod's items, and each one needs AE2 components. So you'll want your AE2 progression underway before you start on these upgraded accelerators.[2]
Cranked Growth Accelerator
The Cranked Growth Accelerator is the entry-level tier. Its recipe uses the AE2 Wooden Crank alongside ordinary materials that accept any cobblestone, iron ingot or planks, so it doesn't need much from AE2.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any cobblestone | any cobblestone | |
| any iron ingot | any plank | any iron ingot |
| any cobblestone | any cobblestone |
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:cranked_growth_accelerator
Boosted Growth Accelerator
The Boosted Growth Accelerator is a much heavier AE2 investment. Its recipe takes several AE2 parts, including the Annihilation Core, and it also accepts any emerald and any netherite ingot.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any emerald gem | any emerald gem | |
| any netherite ingot | any netherite ingot |
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:boosted_growth_accelerator
Directional Growth Accelerator and Modifier
The Directional Growth Accelerator follows a similar pattern to the Boosted one. It uses the Formation Core in place of the Annihilation Core, and takes any diamond instead of an emerald.[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any diamond gem | any diamond gem | |
| any netherite ingot | any netherite ingot |
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:directional_growth_accelerator
The Directional Modifier is a separate item with its own recipe. It uses AE2's Fluix Pearl, any certus quartz gem and any wrench-type tool.[2]

Unverified No quests in this pack involve Growth Accelerator Tiers, and no in-jar guidebook was found. What each tier actually does in-game, such as its speed or behavior, is therefore not confirmed here.
Which Growth Accelerator Tiers config options matter?
3 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide
Everything for this mod lives in a single file, config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml. Each accelerator tier (Boosted, Cranked and Directional) has options for how much power it uses while running, how big its internal energy buffer is, and how many times faster it ticks adjacent blocks. The pack changes only some of these, and only on the Boosted and Directional tiers.[5]
Values the pack changed
- [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Boosted Growth Accelerator.boosted_idle_power_consumption]] is 200 in this pack. The mod default is 42, so the Boosted tier costs a lot more to run here.[5]
- [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Directional Growth Accelerator.directional_idle_power_consumption]] is 160 in this pack. The mod default is 20.[5]
- [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Directional Growth Accelerator.directional_speed_multiplier]] is 1.6 in this pack, down from the mod default of 2. The Directional tier is both slower and hungrier than it would be with default settings.[5]
Values left at the mod default
- Boosted: [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Boosted Growth Accelerator.boosted_speed_multiplier]] is 4 and [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Boosted Growth Accelerator.boosted_internal_energy_multiplier]] is 40.[5]
- Cranked: [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Cranked Growth Accelerator.cranked_speed_multiplier]] is 8, [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Cranked Growth Accelerator.cranked_idle_power_consumption]] is 8 and [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Cranked Growth Accelerator.cranked_internal_energy_multiplier]] is 20. None of the Cranked values are changed.[5]
- Directional: [[config:config/growthacceleratortiers-common.toml#Directional Growth Accelerator.directional_internal_energy_multiplier]] is 32, the mod default.[5]
Reading the numbers
The config comments give you reference points against the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator. A speed multiplier of 1.0 imitates it, an idle power consumption of 8 imitates it, and an internal energy multiplier of 10 imitates it. So the Cranked tier's power use of 8 matches the AE2 reference, while its speed multiplier of 8 is well above it.[5]
