What is Framed Compacting Drawers?

Framed Compacting Drawers is part of the pack, and this pack ships version 1.18-4.1.0 of it. It has been in the pack since version 2.3 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the mod list rather than a recent addition.[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm from the available material what the mod's blocks do, how they are crafted, or where they fit into the pack's progression. There is no stored platform description or in-jar guidebook for this mod. Check in-game or the mod's own page before relying on any details.

Unverified No quests in this pack involve this mod, and it is not on the ATM Star path, so nothing in the pack's questbook will guide you to it.

How do you get started with Framed Compacting Drawers?

2 parts

Same as in the All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 guide

The quickest way to get going is to follow the pack's own quest. It asks you to get Framed Drawers 2x2, the Framed Drawers 2x2, and it unlocks after another quest in your quest book.[2]

The quest is a quest in "?". The recipe below is for the item it wants. The recipe dump lists it as a shaped crafting mod recipe.[2][3]

Other drawer sizes

The mod also has smaller layouts, each with its own crafting recipe in the pack. Pick the one that fits the space you are building.[3]

Trim, compacting and controller items

Once you have a few drawers, the mod's extra blocks each have their own recipe: Framed Trim, Framed Compacting Drawer, Framed Drawer Controller and Framed Controller Slave. The compacting drawer, controller and slave recipes each take an item from a tag rather than one fixed item.[3]

How does Framed Compacting Drawers work?

3 parts

Same as in the All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 guide

Framed Compacting Drawers is an add-on that gives you framed versions of storage drawers. The sources I have for this pack only cover the crafting recipes, so this section is short. I'd rather leave out the mechanics I can't confirm than guess at them.[3]

The building blocks

All of these are made with shaped crafting recipes that come from the mod itself. The sources don't show the pack changing any of them.[3]

Crafting the controller setup

The controller and the slave each have their own recipe, so you can make them separately.[3]

Tip: The half drawer recipes need a different set of materials from the full drawer recipes. If you want the half size, check the recipe blocks for the half drawers rather than assuming the full-size recipe works.[3]

Unverified The sources don't explain how the controller links to drawers, how compacting converts items, drawer capacity, upgrades, or how to automate with hoppers or pipes. There is also no config file for this mod in the pack. Treat all of that as unverified until you test it in-game.

How do you progress through Framed Compacting Drawers?

4 parts

Same as in the All the Mods - Gravitas 4.0 guide

In this pack, Framed Compacting Drawers has no ladder of material tiers that the pack data shows. What you get is a set of drawer forms, each with its own in-pack crafting recipe, plus one quest that points you at the first of them.[2][3]

The quest

The only quest for this mod is a quest in "?". Its task is to obtain a Framed Drawers 2x2. It unlocks after the quest with the id 6C3A96EFF44E71A2, so you need to clear that one first. The quest has no title in the pack files.[2]

Full drawers

The full drawers are the Framed Drawer, the Framed Drawers 1x2 and the Framed Drawers 2x2. Each one is a shaped crafting recipe.[3]
