Mining Gadgets guide for All the Mods 10 0.52 to 0.60

Same as in the All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 guide

Mining Gadgets is included in this pack at version 1.11.1. That is the version you'll be playing with.^[1]

I can only confirm that the mod is installed. The pack's sources don't say what it does in this pack, who it's meant for, or where it fits in progression, so I'm not going to guess at any of that.^[1]

Unverified No quests, ATM Star path entries, recipe changes or config changes for Mining Gadgets could be confirmed from the available sources. Check in-game, for example in the recipe viewer, before relying on any specific behavior. This site does hold All the Mods 10's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Mining Gadgets is built around one handheld tool and a pile of upgrade modules. Almost everything starts from a single crafting component, so the order below keeps you from crafting things you can't use yet.^[2]

Step 1: Make a Blank Upgrade Module

The Blank Upgrade Module is an ingredient in the gadget, the Modification Table and every first-tier upgrade in this pack. Higher tiers then build on the previous tier. Make a few modules before you do anything else.^[2]

Step 2: Craft your first Mining Gadget

The gadget comes in three versions: Mining Gadget MK1, Mining Gadget MK2 and Mining Gadget MK3. Each has its own recipe, and the blank module is one of the ingredients in each. The MK1 is a good place to start.^[2]

Once you hold one, hover over it. The tooltip shows a per-block cost, and holding shift lists the upgrades installed on it.^[3]

Unverified The recipe data lists the same ingredient types for the MK1, MK2 and MK3. The sources don't say how the three versions differ in stats or features, so this guide doesn't claim anything about that.

Step 3: Build the Modification Table

The Modification Table is crafted from a blank module plus a couple of common materials. The mod's upgrade screen text tells you to shift-click upgrades in from your inventory slots, or to drop an upgrade onto the screen, and clicking an installed upgrade removes it.^[2][3]

Unverified The sources don't spell out which block or screen that interface text belongs to, so treat the link between the Modification Table and the install and remove behavior as unconfirmed.

Step 4: Pick your first upgrades

Upgrade: Efficiency, Tier 1, Upgrade: Battery, Tier 1 and Upgrade: Magnet are all crafted straight from a blank module with no earlier tier needed, which makes them easy first upgrades. Efficiency and Battery then continue into higher tiers that each build on the one before.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't describe what the Efficiency, Battery or Magnet upgrades do in numbers. This guide only covers how to craft them.

Mining Gadgets has no machines, multiblocks or fluid and item pipes to worry about. The system is a handheld mining tool that you customise with upgrade modules at a workbench. The sources for this pack explain the basics, so that is what I cover here.^[2][3]

The gadget and its tiers

There are three versions of the tool: Mining Gadget MK1 (MK1), Mining Gadget MK2 (MK2) and Mining Gadget MK3 (MK3). In this pack all three are made from the same set of ingredients, so each has its own recipe but none needs a different material from the others. I can't confirm from the sources whether they behave differently once you have one in hand.^[2][3]

The MK3 recipe. MK1 and MK2 use their own recipes with the same ingredients.

The gadget's tooltip shows a line called "Per Block Cost", which is how much each block you break costs you. You can also hold shift on the tooltip to see which upgrades are installed.^[3]

The Modification Table

Upgrades are installed at the Modification Table. Its screen tells you to shift click to insert an upgrade from your inventory slots, or to drop an upgrade onto the screen. To take one back out, click it. If nothing fits the gadget, the screen says "No Upgrades available".^[3]

Upgrade modules

Every crafted upgrade starts from a Blank Upgrade Module, the Blank Upgrade Module.^[2]

The mod's language file lists these upgrade families: Battery (Tier 1 to 3, plus a Creative Battery), Efficiency (Tier 1 to 5), Fortune (Tier 1 to 3), Range (Tier 1 to 3), size upgrades (3x3, 5x5 and 7x7), Freezing, Light Placer, Magnet, Silk touch and Void Junk.^[3]

The recipe sources I have cover only part of that list, so I can't say how the others are obtained in this pack. Their exact effects are also not described in the sources.^[2][3]

Tiered upgrades build on each other

The battery and efficiency upgrades are crafted by upgrading the previous tier, so you can't skip ahead. Upgrade: Battery, Tier 2 needs Upgrade: Battery, Tier 1, and Upgrade: Battery, Tier 3 needs Tier 2. Efficiency works the same way from Upgrade: Efficiency, Tier 1 up to Upgrade: Efficiency, Tier 5.^[2]

Tiers 3 to 5 follow the same pattern, each using the tier before it.

Pack-changed upgrades

The pack changed the recipes for Upgrade: Range, Tier 1, Upgrade: Range, Tier 2 and Upgrade: Fortune, Tier 1. The recipes below are what you craft in this pack, not the mod's defaults. Range Tier 2 is built from Range Tier 1.^[2]

Freezing and Light Placer

Upgrade: Freezing has a particle delay setting on its screen. By default the gadget spawns one freeze particle every tick, and adding more delay reduces the number of particles. This setting controls only the visuals.^[3]

The gadget's screen also shows a "Precision Mode" value. What it does isn't explained in the sources.^[3]

Unverified Energy use and capacity, the effects of each upgrade tier, how Mining Gadgets handles items it mines, and compatibility with automation or other mods' power systems are not described in the sources for this pack. No config files for this mod exist in the pack.

Mining Gadgets progression in this pack is all about crafting. The mod has no quests here, so nothing is gated behind a quest. You move forward by crafting the gadget, then stacking upgrades onto it. Every upgrade starts from a Blank Upgrade Module, so that's the first thing to make.^[2]

Getting started

The Blank Upgrade Module is the base for the upgrades and for the gadgets themselves. It's a mod recipe, so it works the way the mod's author intended.^[2]

Upgrade tiers

Most upgrades come in tiers, and each tier is crafted from the previous one. You can't skip ahead: Efficiency goes from Tier 1 to Tier 5, while Battery, Fortune and Range each go from Tier 1 to Tier 3. Size has three steps: 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7.^[2]

• Efficiency: Upgrade: Efficiency, Tier 1 through Upgrade: Efficiency, Tier 5. These are unchanged mod recipes.^[2]
• Battery: Upgrade: Battery, Tier 1 through Upgrade: Battery, Tier 3. These are also unchanged mod recipes.^[2]
• Fortune: Upgrade: Fortune, Tier 1 through Upgrade: Fortune, Tier 3. The pack changed these recipes.^[2]
• Range: Upgrade: Range, Tier 1 through Upgrade: Range, Tier 3. The pack changed these recipes too.^[2]
• Size: Upgrade: 3x3, Upgrade: 5x5 and Upgrade: 7x7. The pack changed all three.^[2]

Unverified What each upgrade does in numbers (mining speed, energy capacity, range values), and how the MK1, MK2 and MK3 gadgets differ in stats, can't be confirmed from the available data. This guide also has no quest data for the mod, so a quest-driven order isn't covered.
