Modular Force Field System (MFFS for short) is a tech mod that adds force fields and other defensive measures to protect your base. To get started, craft the Coercion Deriver. MFFS machines require a redstone signal to run by default, most of which can be inverted in the upper left corner of the interface. The Coercion Deriver has two modes: Derive Mode converts energy from other mods or dischargeable items in its inventory to generate Fortron. Integrate Mode converts Fortron into energy at a slight loss. Placing Lapis or Nether Quartz inside will triple the Coercion Deriver's conversion rate when consumed.

Asks for: Coercion Deriver

Fortron can be extracted from the buffer of a Coercion Deriver or any other Fortron-based machines. This can be done by using any method of fluid extracting from other mods. Check the "Logistics" quest chapter for some fluid management options. Note: to complete this quest, you'll need to pump a bucket's worth (1000mB) into an assigned Task Screen.

MFFS machines need to be part of a system in order to run. Machines on the same Frequency will become part of the same system. The Frequency can be set in the interface, or via right clicking the block with a Frequency Card, which can copy a machine's Frequency when placed in the corresponding interface slot.

Asks for: Frequency Card

The Alloy Kiln is an early-game multiblock used to make alloys like: constantan, invar, electrum, and bronze. To build this, build a 2x2x2 cube out of Kiln Bricks, then right click on a face with the Engineer's Hammer.

Each Scale Module increases the base working range from a 15 block radius by 1 per module. Each Capacity Modules increases the storage capacity.

Asks for: Fortron Capacitor

The Biometric Identifier is a requirement for making the Forcefield and the Interdiction Matrix function on an individual level, such as being able to sneak to walk through field blocks. Any player not sneaking inside a field block will take instantaneous infinite damage. You will need an Identification Card registered to yourself and one per any relevant players. These registered cards are placed into slots in the Identifier machine. Other players can be registered by sneak + right-clicking them with the card. GUI Breakdown: The first slot is for allowing/disallowing various "rights" to the card's registered player. The second slot will copy the rights of a card in the first slot onto any card placed into the second. The third slot grants all rights to the card's registered player. The Identifier will not turn on without a card in this slot. The remaining 9 slots will apply the defined rights to the relevant player when a card is placed inside.

Asks for: Biometric Identifier, Identification Card

While only being able to operate in a radius (1 block per scale module), the Interdiction Matrix is no less powerful for it. When powered by Fortron and with a Biometric Identifier on its frequency, it can use installed modules to perform various key functions, such as: killing hostile mobs, denying block interaction without use of chunk claims or among team members, and warning the general public that they're getting too close to that nuclear mishap (not your fault)

Asks for: Interdiction Matrix

The Interdiction Matrix has 8 slots available for Modules that work off the registration and rights defined in a system's Biometric Identifier. Warning Modules will increase the additional warning range of the Matrix by 1 block/module. By default, there is a 3 block radius beyond the range of other modules that alerts unregistered players that they may be affected by the Matrix's actions. This is the only module that has a stacking effect. Block Access Modules prevent interaction with levers, machines, and the like for players without the right to bypass it. Block Alter Modules act similarly to the above module, but disallow the breaking and placement of blocks altogether. Confiscation Modules can be very nasty in multiplayer. Using the other 9 slots in the Matrix, up to 9 items can be selected to take from or leave in the inventory of unregistered players, with anything taken being dropped at the matrix or placed in adjacent inventories. This applies to armor as well. Be mindful when using this on normally friendly servers... Anti-Friendly, -Hostile, and -Personnel Modules will cause the matrix to kill animals, hostile creatures, and unregistered players respectively with extremely high damage. An Anti-Spawn Module will prevent any and all mobs from spawning in the working radius of the matrix.

Asks for: Anti-Friendly Module, Anti-Hostile Module, Anti-Personnel Module, Anti-Spawn Module, Block Access Module, Block Alter Module

A Foundry Drain (or most other modded Tanks) with a Foundry Tap on it can extract the molten metals you create onto a Casting Table. The molten metals will need some type of Cast before they can be poured out onto the table. The Casting Basin can be used to store and create metal blocks. These can be dyed to match your base aesthetics.

Asks for: Black Foundry Drain, Casting Basin, Casting Table, Foundry Tap

Casts are used to shape your metals for tools, weapons and armor, or ingots and other forms. They are created by pouring Molten Steel onto an item of similar shape. You can select which fluid gets poured out by selecting it within the Controller, then simply click a drain with the Casting Basin below to get out your material. This process can be automated with redstone.

Asks for: Gear Cast, Gem Cast, Ingot Cast, Nugget Cast, Plate Cast, Rod Cast

The Precision Dispeller allows the selective stripping of unwanted enchantments from items and can remove curses at the cost of 30 levels. Binding this device to an Obelisk allows the XP gains and costs to use the Obelisk's storage instead of the player's when able to. Once bound to an Experience Obelisk, an Experience Fountain can be activated with redstone to spill XP from the Obelisk into the world at certain rates. This also happens whenever a player stands on top. Right clicking a bound Fountain with certain items can infuse them with XP.

Asks for: Experience Fountain, Precision Dispeller

Force Field Projectors consume Fortron to create a procedurally regenerating area of blocks. It doesn't do much without a Mode to work from, but it's what makes all the magic technology happen! Each change in the interface will cause the Projector to delete the current projection and rebuild the new one, so be mindful of how often you make changes. Larger Force Fields will negatively affect performance. Matrix Slots accept various Modules that add to/tweak how the Projector and shield blocks function, such as making them silent, filling the affected area, or destroying terrain. The red Mode Slot in the center defines the basic shape of the projected area. The 12 Field Slots are for Scale, Translation, and Rotation Modules, which help define the area your Projector will build on each of the three axis: N/S, E/W, Up/Down.

Asks for: Force Field Projector

Modes and Modules instruct the Projector on how to function. Shape Modes define the form Force Field Blocks will be placed in and Directional Modules (next quest) specify its placement in the world. An Inverter Module in the matrix slots will fill the entire projected volume with field blocks instead of just creating an outline. More mode details on the next pages. Cube Mode respects the directions of scale modules along an axis, and requires each of the three axes to be defined to form an enclosed field. Sphere Mode treats every Scale module in the field slots as a single radius addition, allowing you to encase a vast area at the cost of reduced shape customization. Tube Mode is nearly identical to Cube Mode, but has two of the resulting faces open. Pyramid Mode forms a 4-sided pyramid with points along the horizontal axes, requiring all three axes to be defined, respecting Up/Down directions for height. Cylinder Mode uses the horizontal axis as a radius, and the Up/Down axis as one total height. Custom Mode can be used to set both opposing corners of an area. Sneak + Right-Clicking will set that field structure on any non-air blocks within that area. Sneak + Right-Clicking the air will clear the selection. This mode ignores Scale Modules, and defaults its origin to the center of the selected area. A Camouflage Module will copy the selected blocks instead of its normal behavior.

Asks for: Cube Mode, Custom Mode, Cylinder Mode, Inverter Module, Pyramid Mode, Sphere Mode

A Disintegration Module can be used on its own to break any existing blocks where the field would generate and drop them into the world as items. When a Collection Module is also present, the projector can place those items into an adjacent chest or other inventory. Stabilization Modules will cause a projector to take block items from an adjacent chest/inventory and replace the field with said blocks. Sponge Modules affect the entire space enclosed by a mode's field, evaporating all fluids present within.

Asks for: Collection Module, Disintegration Module, Sponge Module, Stabilization Module

Scale Modules add one block along the specified axis, which is mirrored in some Modes and directional in others. Translation Modules shift the origin of the projection by one block per module in the specified direction relative to the Projector, starting at itself. Rotation Modules will rotate the projected area by 2° per module in the specified direction.

Asks for: Rotation Module, Scale Module, Translation Module

Via the Field Projector's matrix slots, additional tweaks can be applied to the field's area. You can insert more than one of each, but most will not stack. One Silence Module will silence the Field Projector while it's running. The Dome Module tweaks the projected mode to only generate at and above the Field Projector. A Camouflage Module will cause the projected field to copy the appearance of a block left of it in the Matrix slots. Note: some non-standard blocks don't appreciate being copied. Mimic other modded machines at your own risk. Adding Shock Modules to your Field Projector will cause the shield to deal damage to entities that contact it at 1 damage/module. Glow Modules will cause the field blocks to emit light, brightness increasing by 1 every 4 modules up to the level of glowstone.

Asks for: Camouflage Module, Dome Module, Glow Module, Shock Module, Silence Module

Industrial Foregoing (I.F) is all about using machines to do your work for you. To get started, you'll need to make a Pity Machine Frame.

The Stasis Chamber is an advanced machine used to keep mobs above it incapacitated, but also tries to keep them healed and alive. This is mostly used to trap Withers to extract Ether Gas from them, or Wardens for their Souls.

Asks for: Stasis Chamber

To upgrade to the final tier of machine frames, we'll need to extract Ether Gas from the Wither. To do this, you'll need the Fluid Laser Base and some Laser Drills. You might also want to look into making the Stasis Chamber to keep it from exploding! The Laser Base is placed in the center above the Wither and needs the Laser Drills and Purple Laser Lens to work. The Laser Drills are the main "work" machines in this setup. The Drills are placed connecting to either the Laser Base or another Laser Drill. The easiest way to place this is by looking directly at the side of the Laser Base, then sneak-right click to place the Drill. The animated face should be pointing to you in placed properly. You can open up the interface of one of the Laser Drills to see if it is connected to the base! Inside of the Fluid Laser Base, make sure to place in the Purple Laser Lens to tell it what type of fluid to extract. You'll also need to adjust the Y Level to match up with the Wither. If done properly, you'll start extracting Ether Gas!

Asks for: Fluid Laser Base, Laser Drill, Purple Laser Lens

With the power of Ether Gas, you can craft the final tier of machine frames!

Asks for: Supreme Machine Frame

Souls allow you to speed up almost any machine by accelerating its tickrate for 15 seconds per Soul. These Souls can be extracted from a Warden by setting up a Soul Laser Base above it, and powering it with Laser Drills. Then, place your Blue Laser Lens inside it to begin extraction. A Stasis Chamber underneath the Warden will not only freeze it in place, but will also heal it over time (improved with addons).

Asks for: Blue Laser Lens, Laser Drill, Soul Laser Base

To use your Souls, point the Soul Surge at the block you want to accelerate and connect it to the Soul Laser Base using Soul Pipes.

Mechanical Crafters are gigantic crafting tables that can be automated in several different ways. Crafter Slot Covers can be used to cover up any slots that are not used in autocrafting. However, you can also use a redstone signal to force-start a crafting recipe. FTB Notice: Due to impact on load times, general crafting is currently disabled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Asks for: Mechanical Crafter, Brass Ingot

Just Dire Things (JDT) is a cool tech mod that despite the name, actually adds some impressive and slightly overpowered Gadgets, Tools and Armors! JDT has a very unique mechanic for acquiring its materials. It starts by making Goo which will spread onto other blocks to convert them over time. The first Goo that you'll make is called Primogel Goo, which takes only a few basic materials.

Asks for: Primogel Goo

Now that we have some Primogel Goo, we can use it to see how this mechanic works. Start by placing down the Primogel Goo somewhere in an open space, then activate it by giving it either Sugar or Rotten Flesh. You can now place Iron Blocks on any of its faces to start the conversion. You'll notice the Goo slowly starting to spread over, taking it completely over. Once the process is complete, you'll be left with Raw Ferricore Ore. Some Shaders will not properly display this effect, so you might want to disable them if you want to see the changes. Mining this ore will give you Raw Ferricore, which you can smelt down into Ferricore Ingots. Note: Fortune does not work on these ores. You will typically get between 3 or 4 raw ores.

Asks for: Ferricore Ingot, Raw Ferricore, Iron Block

Once you've gathered some materials from the Nether ring, you can upgrade to the next tier of Goo. Blazebloom Goo will allow you to create a new tier of metal call Blazegold by converting Blocks of Gold, just like we did with Iron. To activate it, you'll need to feed it either Nether Wart or Blaze Powder. It also retains the ability to create Ferricore Ore, so no need to make another Primogel Goo just for Iron. Not only that, it converts Iron faster than Primogel!

Asks for: Blazebloom Goo, Raw Blazegold

The next tier of Goo is called Voidshimmer Goo, and allows you to convert Diamond Blocks into Celestigems. To activate it, you'll need to feed it either Sculk, Chorus Fruit, or an Ender Pearl. Just like previous tiers, this Goo can also produce the previous resources, and at a faster rate.

Asks for: Celestigem, VoidShimmer Goo

The final tier of Goo is called Shadowpulse Goo. This Goo can convert Netherite Blocks into Eclipse Alloy Ore. To activate it, you'll need to feed it either Ender Pearls or Chorus Fruit. Just like previous tiers, this can also convert all previous ingot blocks at an increased rate.

Cognition has a unique method of XP generation by way of Bibliophages: tiny constructs that steadily break down bookshelves into XP orbs until only Forgotten Dust is left behind. Infected Bookshelves can spread the phages onto other bookshelves, allowing for a single use of a Bibliophage to affect as many connected bookshelves as available. This process can be halted by using a Staff of Attunement on the infected shelf. Special bookshelves made using written books and enchanted books can also be infected, producing more XP value over their decay than regular shelves. A 'nest' for phages can be made if bookshelves are not in ready supply. Fluorescent Agar is made using the dust left behind by decayed bookshelves, and then placed among infected bookshelves to allow phages to convert it into proper Nutrient Agar, which can passively spread phage infection onto the 26 blocks surrounding it if able. This Agar can be broken and picked back up to further enhance it: Insightful Agar will increase the rate of infection and decay. Extravagant Agar will increase rate of infection and the XP value gained from decay.

Asks for: Bibliophage, Fluorescent Agar
