What is Structurize?

Structurize is part of the pack. The pack ships version 1.0.754-1.21.1-snapshot, in the file structurize-1.0.754-1.21.1-snapshot.jar. It has been included since pack version 0.57 or earlier, so it isn't a recent addition.[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't describe what Structurize does or who it is for. They also don't show where it fits in the pack's progression, and I found no guidebook entry for it. I haven't confirmed that it is on the ATM Star path or that any quest involves it, so treat both as unverified until someone checks in-game.

How do you get started with Structurize?

4 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Structurize gives you a set of tools for placing and scanning blueprints, plus a few placeholder blocks. Every item below has a crafting recipe in this pack, so you can start right away. Here is the order I'd go in.[2]

Step one: the Build Tool

Start with the Build Tool. It's the tool the game refers to as the Buildtool when it positions a blueprint on the floor, and some blueprints, like Integrated Buildings or Mineshafts, are hidden from it. The pack uses the mod's own recipe for it.[2][3]

This is the mod's own recipe, not changed by the pack.

Once a preview is out, use the arrow buttons on the right (or your configured keys) to move it around. You can exit with Esc to reposition, then right click again to re-enter. If you place something you don't like, the list of recent operations lets you click the left arrow to undo and the right arrow to redo.[3]

Step two: the Scan Tool

Next, make the Scan Tool. The pack changed this recipe, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's defaults. Its screen includes a placeholder filler function for the top parts of a schematic, which helps schematics fit more naturally into their environment.[2][3]

Step three: Shape Tool and Calipers

The Shape Tool also has a recipe changed by the pack. Its recipe id uses the minecolonies namespace, so look for that id if you search recipes. The Calipers uses the mod's own recipe.[2]

Step four: placeholder blocks

Last come three placeholder blocks: the Placeholder Block, the Solid Placeholder and the Fluid Placeholder. The pack changed the recipes for the Placeholder Block and the Solid Placeholder. The Fluid Placeholder uses the mod's own recipe.[2]

Unverified The sources here do not show exactly what the Shape Tool, the Calipers and the three placeholder blocks do in this pack. No in-game guidebook was found for the mod, and no quests in this pack involve it, so check these items in-game before relying on specific behavior.

How does Structurize work?

4 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.11 guide

Structurize works differently from a typical machine mod. The sources for this pack describe it as a set of building tools: placeholder blocks, a placement preview, and options for how a schematic gets placed. This section covers what those sources actually explain.[4][5]

Unverified The sources I have don't describe any machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item automation for Structurize, and the pack has no Structurize config files. I'm leaving those topics out rather than guessing.

Block placement patterns

Structurize has several placement iterators, which set the order in which blocks of a schematic get placed. These are their in-game descriptions:[4]

  • Default: row by row block placement.[4]
  • Hilbert: mathematical proximity based block placement.[4]
  • Random: places blocks in the x/z plane in a random order.[4]
  • Inward circle: placement in a circle, starting from the outside.[4]
  • Inward circle height 1, 2, 3 and 4: placement in a circle, placing outer rows up to 1, 2, 3 or 4 higher respectively.[4]

Placeholder filler

The scan tool's interface has a placeholder filler function for the top parts of a schematic. Its purpose is to make schematics fit more naturally in their environment. It has four adjustable settings, and each one tells you whether it adds to the value or multiplies it.[4]

  • Block distance: sets the minimum distance placeholders stay away from existing blocks. It is additive, for example 2.[4]
  • Height offset: sets an offset to the y-limit that placeholders generate up to. It is additive, for example -1.[4]
  • Radius: increases or decreases the size of the excluded center circle. It is multiplicative, for example 0.5.[4]
  • Y stretch: increases or decreases the height of the excluded center circle. It is multiplicative, for example 1.5.[4]

Preview and undo

When you have a preview, use the arrow buttons on the right to move it around, or use the configured keys. You can also press Esc to exit and reposition, then right click again to re-enter.[4]

The undo/redo window lists your recent operations. Click the left arrow to undo one and the right arrow to redo it.[4]

Crafting the tools

Several Structurize items have recipes in this pack. The pack changed some of them, so don't assume the mod's defaults apply. The recipes below are the in-pack versions.[5]

The Build Tool (Build Tool) and the Calipers (Calipers) use the mod's own recipes.[5]

The Shape Tool (Shape Tool) recipe is also changed by the pack. It is registered under the minecolonies namespace.[5]

The placeholder blocks follow the same pattern. The Solid Placeholder (Solid Placeholder) and the Placeholder Block (Placeholder Block) recipes are changed by the pack. The Fluid Placeholder (Fluid Placeholder) uses the mod's own recipe.[5]

How do you progress through Structurize?

3 parts

Structurize doesn't have a tier ladder like a tech mod. What the pack gives you is a small set of crafting recipes, so the progression here is really about which tools and blocks you unlock and in what order you'll want them.[6]

Unverified No quests involving Structurize were found in the sources for this pack, so there is no quest-driven progression to follow for this mod. It is also not confirmed to sit on any main quest path.

Step 1: The Build Tool

The Build Tool is the one to grab first. Its recipe is the pack's unchanged mod recipe, so it works the same as in the base mod.[6]

Step 2: Measuring and scanning

The Calipers is also an unchanged mod recipe.[6]

The Scan Tool is different. The pack has changed its recipe, so don't rely on the base mod's version if you've seen it in other videos or guides. Use the one below.[6]

Step 3: Placeholder blocks

The placeholder blocks are the last group. Two of them have pack-modified recipes: the Placeholder Block and the Solid Placeholder. The Fluid Placeholder uses the unchanged mod recipe.[6]

Tip: Three of the six Structurize recipes in the pack are pack-modified: the Scan Tool, the Placeholder Block and the Solid Placeholder. If a recipe doesn't match what you remember, check the recipe blocks on this page.[6]
