XyCraft Machines in All the Mods 10

XyCraft Machines is a utility and automation mod by Soaryn. This pack ships version 0.7.53. It covers storage, auto-crafting, farming helpers and a few handy utility blocks, and the pack's XyCraft quest chapter walks you through them.^[1][2]

What you get

• Fluid storage: the mod has a Fluid Tank multiblock. You pump fluid in through a Valve, and the Hydro Pump can feed water into pipes slowly and for free.^[2]
• Item handling: the Soaryn Box is the mod's chest, and it will not keep its items when you break it. The Collector is a cheap hopper that picks up items in a 3 block radius, and the Void Container turns any inventory into a trash can.^[2]
• Auto-crafting: the Fabricator takes items from the inventory below and makes a set recipe. You can lock the recipe with CTRL Click.^[2]
• Resource generation: the Extractor "grows" the block or item beneath it into an inventory above. The quest suggests cobblestone, amethyst and even Dragon Egg generators.^[2]
• Utility blocks: the Accelerated Planter is faster than normal farmland and waters itself. The Light Field stops mob spawns in about a 32 block radius. The Ignition Plate makes fire on a Redstone signal. The Water Block acts as still water, and the Fluid Void removes water within 1 block.^[2]
• Early flight: the Balloon on a Stick is a short-range, restrictive source of creative flight. Go too far from it and you fall.^[2]

Where it fits in the pack

Most of the chapter unlocks after the Kivi quest. Reinforcing Kivi with Aluminum gives you the Machine Base, which the quest says is needed to craft machines. The Light Field, Planter, Ignition Plate, Water Block and Fluid Void quests also each wait on a coloured Xychorium Gem quest, for example "Light Field" quest for the Light Field.^[2]

The Extractor also shows up outside its own chapter. In "Automated Flux Dust" quest, which follows Flux Networks, it automates Flux Dust.^[3]

Unverified The sources do not say whether XyCraft Machines is part of the ATM Star path, so treat it as an optional automation mod until that is confirmed.

Welcome to XyCraft! You only need to make a handful of things to get its machines going, and most of them lean on the same few building blocks. Here is the order I'd go in.^[2][4]

Start with a Machine Base

The Machine Base is needed to craft machines, according to the pack's quest book (a quest in "XyCraft"). The Fabricator, Valve, Item IO, Light Field and Accelerated Planter recipes all use it, so make a few.^[2][4]

Craft your ports

Ports feed into a lot of later recipes. Start with the Item Port and the Fluid Port. The Soaryn Box, Collector, Item IO, Valve and Hydro Pump each take one of them.^[4]

Storage and item handling

The Soaryn Box is the chest of XyCraft. It will not keep its items when you break the block, so empty it before you pick it up.^[2][4]

Next, grab a Collector. It works as a very cheap hopper that picks up all items within a 3 block radius and puts them in the inventory below it or in its own. You can switch it off with Redstone.^[2]

Automate with the Extractor

The Extractor "grows" the block or item beneath it and moves it to an inventory above it. The quest book suggests a cobblestone generator that works with many types of stone, an Amethyst generator, or even a Dragon Egg generator.^[2]

The Automated Flux Dust quest ("Automated Flux Dust" quest) also has a build that uses an Extractor, if you are setting up Flux Dust.^[3]

Fluids and tanks

The Valve lets you build tanks. The quest book calls it the heart of your tank, because it is where you pump or pipe fluids in. A Hydro Pump then puts water into a connected tank by itself, slowly but for free.^[2][5]

XyCraft Machines gives you a set of single-block machines, and most of them are crafted from a Machine Base or from one of the mod's ports. Here is what the pack's sources confirm about how they handle items, fluids and energy.^[4][5]

Machine Base and ports

The Machine Base is the base part for machines such as the Fabricator, Valve, Item IO, Light Field, Ignition Plate, Fluid Void and Accelerated Planter, so it is worth crafting a few early.^[4]

The other key parts are the ports: Item Port, Fluid Port, Energy Port and Chemical Port. The Valve and Hydro Pump use the fluid port, and the Charger uses the energy port. The Extractor accepts any port from the mod's port tag.^[4]

Item handling and automation

The Item IO is your item interface, and its fill or drain side can be toggled with a wrench. The mod also adds its own Aluminum Wrench.^[4][5]

• Collector: filterable, and it collects items before they become entities.^[4][5]
• Extractor: extracts items and fluids out of the environment.^[4][5]
• Buffer: crafted from an item port, a wooden chest and planks.^[4]

Fluids

The Valve is what lets you build tanks. The Hydro Pump automatically pumps water into a connected tank, and it can be extracted from at a higher rate. Its tooltip lists a base rate per cycle and a separate rate for when it is waterlogged.^[4][5]

Energy

The Charger charges items using external energy. The Energy Pipe and Isolator are both built from the energy port. The pack changed the recipes for the charger, energy pipe and isolator, so use the recipes shown on this page rather than the mod's defaults.^[4][5]

Chemical machines

The Mekanical Chemical Condenser and Mekanical Fluid Evaporator each need both a chemical port and a fluid port. The pack changed both recipes.^[4]

The XyCraft quest chapter in this pack hangs most of its quests off Kivi. From there you get to item handling, fluid handling, or one of the colored utility machines.^[2]

Tier 1: Machine Base and ports

Almost everything starts with the Machine Base. The quest a quest in "XyCraft" describes it as reinforcing Kivi with aluminum to get the Machine Frames that machines need. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:^[2][4]

Next come the ports, which many machines use as an ingredient. "Item Storage and Manipulation" quest covers the Item Port and "Fluid Storage and Manipulation" quest covers the Fluid Port. Both are shapeless crafts in this pack.^[2][4]

Item branch

1. a quest in "XyCraft" gives you the Soaryn Box, the chest of XyCraft. It will not keep its items when you break the block.^[2]
2. a quest in "XyCraft" unlocks the Collector. It picks up all items within a 3 block radius and puts them in the inventory below it or its own, and Redstone can switch it off.^[2]
3. a quest in "XyCraft" unlocks the Fabricator, an auto-crafter that takes items from the inventory below it. You can lock recipes with CTRL Click, and you still need to pipe the results out.^[2]
4. a quest in "XyCraft" unlocks the Void Container. Put it on top of an inventory and that inventory becomes a trash can.^[2]

Fluid branch

1. "Valves" quest gives you the Valve, which the quest calls the heart of your tank. This is where you pump or pipe fluids in.^[2]
2. "Item IOs" quest gives you the Item IO, which moves items in and out of the tank. It can be toggled between output and input.^[2]
3. "Pipes" quest introduces the Hydro Pump, which puts water into pipes at a slow rate for free. The quest accepts pipes from several mods for this task.^[2]

Colored utility machines

These quests all follow the Machine Base quest. Each one also follows a Xychorium gem quest of a matching color.^[2]

• "Light Field" quest: the Light Field works like a mega torch. Mobs won't spawn within about a 32 block radius.^[2]
• "Accelerated Planter" quest: the Accelerated Planter is like farmland, but it waters itself and is faster.^[2]
• "Ignition Plate" quest: the Ignition Plate spawns fire in front of it on a Redstone signal and puts it out when the signal stops.^[2]
• "Water Block" quest: the Water Block acts as water that doesn't flow. You can use it for cobble generators or to water farmland.^[2]
• "Fluid Void" quest: the Fluid Void removes any water within a 1 block radius, source or flowing.^[2]

Extractor and flux dust

a quest in "XyCraft" unlocks the Extractor. It "grows" the block or item beneath it and moves it into an inventory above it. The quest suggests cobblestone, amethyst and even dragon egg generators.^[2]

The Basic Power chapter reuses it in "Automated Flux Dust" quest. You place a charged redstone crystal block on bedrock, surround it with 4 obsidian on all sides, put the extractor on top, and put a storage on top of that.^[3]

Energy, hover and chemical items

The pack changed recipes for several higher-tier items, including the Energy Port, Chemical Port, Charger, Isolator, Energy Pipe, Hover Pack, Hover Pylon, Flare Rod and Illumination Field. The Mekanical Chemical Condenser and Mekanical Fluid Evaporator were changed too, and you can convert one into the other by crafting. The Perfected Gauntlet smithing recipe was also changed.^[4]

XyCraft Machines doesn't have a huge web of cross-mod recipes in this pack. The connections come mostly from quests that ask you to pair its blocks with items from other mods. Here's what you can actually confirm.^[2][3]

Pipes from other mods

The "Pipes" quest quest pairs the Hydro Pump with a fluid pipe from another mod. It accepts several options: Fluid Pipe, Universal Pipe, Fluid Pipe, Fluid Pipe, or one of the Mekanism mechanical pipes such as Basic Mechanical Pipe. You use these to get liquids into the XyCraft Tank.^[2]

The Hydro Pump puts water into those pipes automatically, for free, though at a slow rate. That makes it an easy starting point for filling a tank without any other fluid setup.^[2]

Automated Flux Dust

The "Automated Flux Dust" quest quest links the Extractor with Charged Redstone Crystal Block. The quest text says to place the charged redstone block on bedrock and surround it with obsidian on 4 sides. Put the Extractor on top, then place a storage block on top of the Extractor and you're done.^[3]

Refinery recipe

The pack also has a Refinery recipe for aluminum ore slurry that uses an item from a shared common tag. Here is the exact in-pack recipe.^[4]

Unverified The recipe data available here doesn't show what the Refinery recipe outputs, so check the rendered recipe above. Which mod supplies the items in the common tag is also unconfirmed.

Most of the XyCraft questing lives in the XyCraft chapter, and one more quest in the Basic Power chapter uses the mod. The chapter branches out from a Kivi quest, so you can pick the branch that matches what you want to build.^[2][3]

Where the chapter starts

• a quest in "XyCraft" (Up!) asks for the Balloon on a Stick. It's an early, restrictive source of creative flight. You get attached to a balloon, and if you go too far you detach and fall.^[2]
• a quest in "XyCraft" comes after Kivi and asks for the Machine Base. The quest says reinforcing the Kivi with Aluminum gives you Machine Frames, which are needed to craft machines.^[2]

Fluid tank branch

"Fluid Storage and Manipulation" quest (Fluid Storage and Manipulation) comes after Kivi and asks for the Fluid Port. The quest describes XyCraft's Fluid Tank multiblock. Three quests follow it.^[2]

• "Valves" quest (Valves) asks for the Valve. The quest calls it the heart of your tank, where you pump or pipe fluids in.^[2]
• "Item IOs" quest (Item IOs) asks for the Item IO. It moves items in and out of the tank and can be toggled between output and input.^[2]
• "Pipes" quest (Pipes) asks for the Hydro Pump plus one of several accepted fluid pipes. The quest says the pump puts water into pipes at a slow rate, for free.^[2]

Item storage branch

"Item Storage and Manipulation" quest (Item Storage and Manipulation) comes after Kivi and asks for the Item Port. The quest notes there is less item manipulation than fluid manipulation. The Soaryn Box quest comes next, and three more quests unlock after it.^[2]

• a quest in "XyCraft" asks for the Soaryn Box, the chest of XyCraft. It will not keep its items when you break the block.^[2]
• a quest in "XyCraft" asks for the Collector, a very cheap absorption hopper. It picks up items within a 3 block radius, puts them in the inventory below or its own, and can be turned off with Redstone.^[2]
• a quest in "XyCraft" (Auto-Crafter) asks for the Fabricator. It takes items from the inventory below and makes a set recipe, which you can lock with CTRL Click. You need to pipe the results out.^[2]
• a quest in "XyCraft" asks for the Void Container, which turns any inventory below it into a trash can.^[2]

Machine Frame branch

Each of these quests needs the Machine Frame quest plus one Xychorium Gems quest of a matching color.^[2]

• "Light Field" quest (Light Field) comes after Light Xychorium Gems. The Light Field works like a mega torch, and mobs won't spawn in an area of about a 32 block radius around it.^[2]
• "Accelerated Planter" quest (Accelerated Planter) comes after Green Xychorium Gems. The Accelerated Planter is like normal farmland, but automatically watered and faster.^[2]
• "Ignition Plate" quest (Ignition Plate) comes after Red Xychorium Gems. The Ignition Plate spawns fire in front of it when given a Redstone signal and puts it out when the signal stops.^[2]
• "Water Block" quest (Water Block) comes after Blue Xychorium Gems. The Water Block acts as water without the moving part. The quest says you can build cobble generators with it and water farmland with it.^[2]
• "Fluid Void" quest (Fluid Void) comes after Dark Xychorium Gems. The Fluid Void removes source and flowing water within a 1 block radius.^[2]

Extractor quests

a quest in "XyCraft" (Farming for Rocks! (and More)) comes after Kivi and asks for the Extractor. It "grows" the block or item beneath it and moves it to an inventory above. The quest suggests cobblestone, amethyst or even dragon egg generators.^[2]

The Basic Power chapter reuses the extractor in "Automated Flux Dust" quest (Automated Flux Dust), which comes after Flux Networks. It asks for the extractor and a charged redstone block. The quest has you put the charged redstone block on bedrock, surround it with 4 obsidian on all sides, place the extractor on top, and put a storage block above the extractor.^[3]

The sources here only cover a small slice of this mod's history in the pack, so this section is short. XyCraft Machines was already in All the Mods 10 by version 2.25 or earlier.^[1]

• All the Mods 10 4.6: XyCraft Machines was updated from 0.7.45 to 0.7.53.^[6]
• All the Mods 10 8.1: the pack ships XyCraft Machines 0.7.53 (xycraft_machines-0.7.53.jar), the same version that 4.6 updated it to.^[1][6]

Unverified What actually changed between XyCraft Machines 0.7.45 and 0.7.53 (new features, fixes or balance changes) is not shown by the sources here, because no changelog is stored for the shipped jars.
