Modern Industrialization Sound Addon in All the Mods 10: To the Sky

Modern Industrialization Sound Addon is a small quality-of-life addon for Modern Industrialization. As the name says, it adds sound: every singleblock and multiblock machine in Modern Industrialization gets its own noises, and so does using the wrench. If your factory has ever felt eerily quiet, this is the fix.^[1]

The pack includes version 1.3.1-1.21.1 of the addon.^[2]

The Steel Mallet

The addon also adds a Steel Mallet. Right-click a machine with it to silence the machine, and right-click again to unsilence it. That's handy once a big factory gets loud.^[1]

Who it's for

It's for anyone building with Modern Industrialization who wants a more lively base. It adds no new machines or processing chains, so there's nothing new to learn.^[1]

For modpack makers

If you add custom Modern Industrialization machines through the KubeJS compatibility, the addon's author has a guide for giving them sounds too. KubeJS is listed as an optional dependency of the addon.^[1]

Where it fits in progression

Unverified The sources don't place this addon anywhere in the pack's progression. No quests or ATM Star path steps involving it were found, so treat it as an optional extra and not something you need to unlock.

Good news: this addon needs almost no setup. It adds sounds to all the singleblock and multiblock machines in Modern Industrialization, and it adds noises to the wrench uses too, so you hear the difference as soon as you start building. The mod has to be installed on both the client and the server in order to work.^[1]

Your first item: the Steel Mallet

The item this addon adds is the Steel Mallet. You right-click a machine with it to silence or unsilence that machine. Once your machine room gets loud, this is how you quiet the machines you don't need to hear.^[1][3]

The pack changed this recipe, so don't rely on what you may remember from the mod's own page. Use the in-pack recipe below.^[4]

This is the pack's version of the recipe.

How to use it

1. Place your Modern Industrialization machines as usual and listen to the sounds they now make.^[1]
2. When one gets too loud, right-click it with the Steel Mallet to silence it.^[1][3]
3. Right-click the same machine again with the mallet to unsilence it.^[1][3]

This addon is all about sound. It adds sounds to every singleblock and multiblock machine in Modern Industrialization, and it also adds noises when you use the wrench. It must be installed on both the client and the server to work, which matters if you play on a server.^[1]

Silencing machines

Machines can get loud once your base fills up. The addon gives you the Steel Mallet for that. Right-click a machine with it to silence the machine, and right-click again to unsilence it.^[1][3]

The tooltip says you right-click your machines to silence or unsilence them. The project page describes the same thing, so you don't need a separate setting or a menu.^[1][3]

Crafting the Steel Mallet

The pack changes the Steel Mallet recipe, so don't rely on the mod's default recipe from the project page. Use the in-pack recipe below. Its ingredients include a steel plate, which any plate from the steel plate tag satisfies.^[4]

For modpack creators

If you add custom machines to Modern Industrialization through KubeJS, the mod's author says you can give those machines sounds too. The author links a separate guide for this. KubeJS is an optional dependency of the addon.^[1]

Unverified The sources only describe this addon's sounds, wrench noises and the Steel Mallet. They don't say that it changes how Modern Industrialization machines handle power, fluids or items, or how automation works, so none of that is covered here. The pack also has no config files for this mod, so there are no options to tune.

This section is short on purpose. The only thing I can confirm about Modern Industrialization Sound Addon in this pack is one crafted item, the Steel Mallet.^[4]

The pack changes the Steel Mallet's crafting recipe, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's defaults. The recipe below is the exact one used in this pack.^[4]

Unverified The sources here show no tier breakdown, quest path or unlock order for this mod. The pack's quest chapters are not shown to cover it, so there is no verified progression to follow. Treat the Steel Mallet as an item you craft whenever you have the materials, not as a step in a quest line.

Unverified No pack changelog entries for this mod are available, so which pack release moved it from one mod version to the next is unverified.
