What is Growth Accelerator Tiers?
Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 1.0.2 guide
Growth Accelerator Tiers is part of this pack. The pack ships version 1.0.1 of the mod, built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been in the pack since the 1.0 release or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the mod list rather than a recent addition.[1]
Unverified The sources I have don't describe what the mod's items or blocks do, how they are crafted in this pack, or whether the pack changed any recipes or configs. I'm not going to guess at mechanics. Check in-game with the recipe viewer before you plan a build around it. This site does hold FTB Skies 2: Aero's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.
Unverified No quests and no ATM Star path steps were found for this mod, and no in-jar guidebook was found either. Where it fits in the pack's progression is unconfirmed, so treat it as an optional extra rather than a required step.
How do you get started with Growth Accelerator Tiers?
4 parts
Growth Accelerator Tiers adds upgraded versions of the AE2 Growth Accelerator, plus a helper item for aiming one of them. Each has its own recipe in the pack. Here is the order I'd make them in, starting with the one that needs no ME network.[2][3]
First: the Cranked Growth Accelerator
Start with the Cranked Growth Accelerator. It doesn't connect to a network and only works when powered by the Wooden Crank. The pack has changed this recipe from the mod's own.[2][3]

Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:cranked_growth_accelerator
This recipe is changed by the pack.
In this pack it ticks adjacent blocks at a multiplier of 8 (cranked_growth_accelerator.cranked_speed_multiplier) and uses a power consumption of 8 (cranked_growth_accelerator.cranked_idle_power_consumption). The config notes that a speed multiplier of 1.0 would imitate the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator.[4]
Next: the Directional Modifier
Then grab the Directional Modifier. This one is the mod's own recipe, not changed by the pack. You right click a Directional Growth Accelerator with it to change the direction, so it's worth having before the accelerator it controls.[2][3]

Then: the Directional Growth Accelerator
The Directional Growth Accelerator forces buds to grow in a specific direction, up by default. The pack has changed its recipe too.[2][3]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:directional_growth_accelerator
Its speed multiplier is 2 (directional_growth_accelerator.directional_speed_multiplier) and its power consumption is 12 (directional_growth_accelerator.directional_idle_power_consumption).[4]
Finally: the Boosted Growth Accelerator
Finish with the Boosted Growth Accelerator, which its tooltip describes as faster than your average Growth Accelerator. This recipe is also changed by the pack.[2][3]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:boosted_growth_accelerator
The pack sets its speed multiplier to 8 (boosted_growth_accelerator.boosted_speed_multiplier) and its power consumption to 24 (boosted_growth_accelerator.boosted_idle_power_consumption). Both match the mod's defaults, so keep an eye on your energy supply before placing several.[4]
How does Growth Accelerator Tiers work?
5 parts
Growth Accelerator Tiers adds upgraded versions of the AE2 Growth Accelerator: the Boosted Growth Accelerator, the Cranked Growth Accelerator and the Directional Growth Accelerator. Each one ticks the blocks next to it with a speed multiplier, and each has its own power settings in the common config.[3][4]
The accelerators
- Boosted Growth Accelerator: the in-game tooltip calls it faster than your average Growth Accelerator. In this pack it has a speed multiplier of 8.[3][4]
- Cranked Growth Accelerator: it does not connect to a network and only works when powered by the Wooden Crank. It also has a speed multiplier of 8 in this pack.[3][4]
- Directional Growth Accelerator: it forces buds to grow in a specific direction, up by default. It has a speed multiplier of 2 in this pack.[3][4]
Changing the direction
To change which way the Directional Growth Accelerator pushes buds, right click it with a Directional Modifier. The modifier is a separate item, so craft one and keep it handy.[3]

This is the mod's own recipe, the pack has not changed it.
Speed and power settings
Every accelerator has a speed multiplier, an idle power consumption and an internal energy multiplier in the common config. The speed multiplier is how strongly the accelerator ticks the blocks next to it. The idle power consumption is the power it uses while running. The internal energy multiplier scales its internal power inventory.[4]
- Boosted: speed multiplier 8, idle power consumption 24, internal energy multiplier 60. Options: boosted_growth_accelerator.boosted_speed_multiplier, boosted_growth_accelerator.boosted_idle_power_consumption and boosted_growth_accelerator.boosted_internal_energy_multiplier.[4]
- Cranked: speed multiplier 8, idle power consumption 8, internal energy multiplier 20. Options: cranked_growth_accelerator.cranked_speed_multiplier, cranked_growth_accelerator.cranked_idle_power_consumption and cranked_growth_accelerator.cranked_internal_energy_multiplier.[4]
- Directional: speed multiplier 2, idle power consumption 12, internal energy multiplier 20. Options: directional_growth_accelerator.directional_speed_multiplier, directional_growth_accelerator.directional_idle_power_consumption and directional_growth_accelerator.directional_internal_energy_multiplier.[4]
The pack leaves all of these at the mod's defaults. The config comments give reference points for the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator: a speed multiplier of 1.0, an idle power consumption of 8 and an internal energy multiplier of 10 would imitate it.[4]
Accelerator conflicts
The option general.enable_conflicts is set to true in this pack. The config says that setting it to false stops the Boosted and Directional accelerators from conflicting with other accelerators of the same type. The mod also has an "Accelerator conflict" tooltip.[3][4]
Crafting the accelerators
The pack has changed the recipes of the Boosted, Cranked and Directional accelerators. These are the pack's versions, not the mod's defaults.[2]

How do you progress through Growth Accelerator Tiers?
4 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 1.0.2 guide
Growth Accelerator Tiers adds new crafted versions of the AE2 Growth Accelerator: the Cranked Growth Accelerator, the Boosted Growth Accelerator and the Directional Growth Accelerator. There is also a helper item, the Directional Modifier. Each one is shown below with its in-pack recipe.[5]
Cranked Growth Accelerator
This recipe is the only one of the tiers that does not use an existing AE2 Growth Accelerator as an ingredient. It starts from an AE2 Wooden Crank instead, and it needs no netherite and no AE2 cores.[5]

Boosted Growth Accelerator
The Boosted tier is crafted from a standard AE2 Growth Accelerator, so you need to have that built first. Its recipe also asks for netherite, which means you will be well into the game before you can make it.[5]

Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:boosted_growth_accelerator
Directional Growth Accelerator
The Directional tier also builds on a standard AE2 Growth Accelerator and needs netherite, but it uses a different AE2 core from the Boosted one.[5]

Recipe id: growthacceleratortiers:directional_growth_accelerator
Directional Modifier
The Directional Modifier has its own separate recipe, and it does not need netherite or a Growth Accelerator.[5]

Unverified The sources here do not show any quest chapter that guides you through these accelerators, so the order the pack's quest book wants you to build them in is not confirmed. They also do not show the growth speed of each tier or what the Directional Modifier does once crafted.
How does Growth Accelerator Tiers work with other mods?
3 parts
Growth Accelerator Tiers connects to AE2 in this pack. Every recipe for the mod in the pack's recipe data uses at least one AE2 item, so you need AE2 materials to craft any of them.[2]
Boosted and Directional accelerators
Both of these start from AE2's Growth Accelerator and use an Acceleration Card. Each one adds a different AE2 core: the Boosted Growth Accelerator uses the Annihilation Core, and the Directional Growth Accelerator uses the Formation Core. The pack has changed both recipes, so don't assume they match the mod's defaults.[2]

Which Growth Accelerator Tiers config options matter?
4 parts
Every option in the Growth Accelerator Tiers config file is set to the mod default in this pack. Nothing was changed, so any numbers you see here are the values the mod ships with.[4]
Each accelerator has a speed multiplier (how strongly it ticks the adjacent blocks), an idle power consumption (the power it uses while running) and an internal energy multiplier (the size of its internal power inventory). According to the config comments, a speed multiplier of 1.0, an idle power consumption of 8 and an internal energy multiplier of 10 would imitate the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator.[4]
Directional Growth Accelerator
- directional_growth_accelerator.directional_speed_multiplier is 2.[4]
- directional_growth_accelerator.directional_idle_power_consumption is 12.[4]
- directional_growth_accelerator.directional_internal_energy_multiplier is 20.[4]
Cranked Growth Accelerator
- cranked_growth_accelerator.cranked_speed_multiplier is 8.[4]
- cranked_growth_accelerator.cranked_idle_power_consumption is 8, the same figure the config comment gives for the normal AE2 Growth Accelerator.[4]
- cranked_growth_accelerator.cranked_internal_energy_multiplier is 20.[4]
Boosted Growth Accelerator
- boosted_growth_accelerator.boosted_speed_multiplier is 8.[4]
- boosted_growth_accelerator.boosted_idle_power_consumption is 24.[4]
- boosted_growth_accelerator.boosted_internal_energy_multiplier is 60.[4]
The Cranked and Boosted accelerators both use a speed multiplier of 8, but the Boosted one uses 24 for idle power consumption against 8 for the Cranked one, and has an internal energy multiplier of 60 against 20. So if you are tuning your power budget, those two options are where the difference between them shows up.[4]
Conflicts between accelerators
general.enable_conflicts is true in this pack. If it were set to false, the Boosted and Directional accelerators would not conflict with other accelerators of the same type.[4]
