Ars Unification in All the Mods 10

Ars Unification is a small compatibility mod that lets Ars Nouveau take recipes from other mods. It makes some glyphs you already know work with recipes that other mods added.^[1]

Right now it takes Crush and Cut type recipes and lets the matching glyphs use them. If Not Enough Glyphs is installed, the Flatten glyph also gets processing for Press type recipes. This pack ships version 1.2.20, and the mod has been in the pack since 4.5 or earlier.^[1][2]

Supported mods

The mod's page lists these supported mods and the machines whose recipes it can take, apart from Integrated Dynamics, which is left out here because it is not in this pack:^[1][2]

• Actually Additions: Crusher^[1]
• Ender IO: SAG Mill^[1]
• Farmer's Delight: Cutting Board^[1]
• Immersive Engineering: Crusher and Sawmill^[1]
• Mekanism: Crusher and Sawmill^[1]
• Modern Industrialization: Macerator, Cutting Machine and Compressor^[1]
• Occultism: Crusher Spirits^[1]

How recipes are chosen

Recipes made specifically for Ars Nouveau always take priority over recipes from other mods. The mod's own page says it will not add multi-way recipe-stealing.^[1]

The priorities of other mods' recipes can be set in the common config file. You can also block specific recipes by putting matching Regular Expressions in the config. EMI can show you a recipe's ID.^[1]

Ars Unification is a small helper mod, so there's nothing to craft and no machine to place. It lets Ars Nouveau borrow processing recipes from other mods, and your first steps are about knowing what it changes.^[1]

What it does

The mod takes Crush and Cut type recipes from other mods and lets the matching Ars Nouveau glyphs use them. If Not Enough Glyphs is installed, its Flatten glyph can also process Press type recipes.^[1]

Your first steps

1. Work out which recipe you want. The mod can pull from the crushers, mills, saws, cutting boards, squeezers and compressors of the supported mods: Actually Additions, Ender IO, Farmer's Delight, Immersive Engineering, Integrated Dynamics, Mekanism, Modern Industrialization and Occultism.^[1]
2. Currently the mod takes Crush and Cut type recipes, so use the Crush glyph for crushing-type recipes and the Cut glyph for cutting-type recipes in your spells. They can use the borrowed recipes as well as Ars Nouveau's own.^[1]
3. If Not Enough Glyphs is present, the mod also gives its Flatten glyph the ability to process Press type recipes.^[1]
4. Add augments to process more at once. On Cut and Flatten, the AOE augment widens the radius searched for items, Pierce raises the number of items processed, and Sensitive makes the glyph try to process nearby items.^[3]

Almost Unified is highly recommended but not required. It reduces functionally duplicated recipes.^[1]

Currently, Ars Unification works as a recipe bridge: it lets Ars Nouveau glyphs use processing recipes that other mods already define. The sources describe no machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling of its own, so the core mechanics here are about which glyphs take which recipes, and how conflicts get resolved.^[1]

What the glyphs can process

• Crush and Cut type recipes from other mods can be used by the Crush and Cut glyphs.^[1]
• If Not Enough Glyphs is installed, its Flatten glyph also gets processing capability for Press type recipes. The mod's page describes this as what it currently does.^[1]

The author says they will not be adding multi-way recipe-stealing, and the mod currently only takes recipes from other mods into Ars Nouveau, not the other way round.^[1]

Supported mods and their machines

Currently, the recipes come from these mods and machine types:^[1]

• Actually Additions: Crusher (currently supported).^[1]
• Ender IO: SAG Mill (currently supported).^[1]
• Farmer's Delight: Cutting Board (currently supported).^[1]
• Immersive Engineering: Crusher and Sawmill (currently supported).^[1]
• Integrated Dynamics: Squeezer and Mechanical Squeezer (currently supported).^[1]
• Mekanism: Crusher and Sawmill (currently supported).^[1]
• Modern Industrialization: Macerator, Cutting Machine and Compressor (currently supported).^[1]
• Occultism: Crusher Spirits (currently supported).^[1]

Augments for Cut and Flatten

The Cut and Flatten glyphs work on items nearby, and the mod's tooltips describe augments for each. The wording is the same for both glyphs apart from the glyph name.^[3]

• AOE: increases the radius in which the glyph looks for items to process.^[3]
• Pierce: increases the number of items the glyph will process.^[3]
• Sensitive: the glyph will try to process items nearby.^[3]

Recipe priority and blocking

Recipes made specifically for Ars Nouveau always take priority over ones borrowed from other mods. For the borrowed recipes, the mod's page says their priorities can be configured in the common config file.^[1]

You can also stop specific recipes from being taken by adding matching Regular Expressions to the config. The mod's page suggests EMI as a way to look up a recipe's ID.^[1]

Unverified The priority order and any disabled-recipe patterns are set in this mod's common config file, and the sources here do not show that file's contents for this pack, so the exact values used are unconfirmed.

Ars Unification has been in All the Mods 10 since version 4.5, and the pack has updated it a handful of times since. The pack changelogs only record which version of the mod shipped in each release, so this is a timeline of version bumps.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}

• All the Mods 10 4.5: Ars Unification 1.2.15 was added to the pack.^[4]
• All the Mods 10 4.6: updated from 1.2.15 to 1.2.16.^[5]
• All the Mods 10 5.5: updated from 1.2.16 to 1.2.18.^[6]
• All the Mods 10 7.2: updated from 1.2.18 to 1.2.19.^[7]
• All the Mods 10 8.1: updated from 1.2.19 to 1.2.20.^[8]

If you're on All the Mods 10 8.1, you have Ars Unification 1.2.20, shipped as the file ars_unification-1.2.20.jar.^[2]

Unverified What actually changed inside the mod between these versions (new features, fixes or balance tweaks) is unverified. The mod's own changelogs for the shipped jars aren't available, so this guide can't say what each update did.
