How do you get started with Actually Additions: Tiers?

5 parts

Same as in the FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 guide

This mod adds tiered versions of the Actually Additions Display Stand: Iron Display Stand, Gold Display Stand, Diamond Display Stand and Netherite Display Stand. Each one is crafted from the tier below it, so you work up the chain in order and can't skip a step.[1][2]

First: Iron Display Stand

Everything starts from the normal Display Stand from Actually Additions. Upgrade it to iron first, because every higher tier is built on this one.[1]

Next: Gold Display Stand

Then upgrade your iron stand to gold.[1]

Then: Diamond Display Stand

The gold stand is the base for the diamond one.[1]

Last: Netherite Display Stand

The final tier is made from the diamond stand.[1]

Why the pack's numbers matter

Each tier has an energy buffer (capacity, in FE) and a maximum input rate (in FE/tick). This pack changed most of these values from the mod defaults, so don't rely on numbers you may have seen elsewhere. They are all set in the server config file for this mod.[3]

Tip: Gold is the only tier whose capacity the pack left alone. Its input rate was still raised, so the bigger jumps come at diamond and netherite.[3]

Which Actually Additions: Tiers config options matter?

1 part

Same as in the FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 guide

Everything you can tweak for this mod lives in config/aatiers-server.toml. Each display stand tier has two options: a capacity (the energy buffer, in FE) and a max input (how fast it accepts energy, in FE/tick). This pack raised almost all of them, and the biggest jumps are in the input rates.[3]

Values this pack uses

Tip: Gold capacity is the only option in this file the pack did not change. Every other value is higher than the mod default, so don't rely on default numbers from the mod's own description when you plan your power setup.[3]

All of these options accept values above 1, according to the config file. The comments in the file describe the capacity options as the maximum energy buffer of that tier's display stand, and the max input options as the maximum energy input rate.[3]
