Pollution

Mod Introduction: Pollution

The Pollution mod, a unique contributor to the GregTech:QuantumTransition (GTQT) modpack, seamlessly integrates the worldviews of Thaumcraft 6 with the elements of Botania, Blood Magic, and Betweenlands, offering an unprecedented highly customized crossover experience for the GregTech Community Edition Unofficial (GTCEu). This mod aims to reinterpret and connect these magical mods through the lens of GregTech, achieving a true “magical Gregification.” Currently, Pollution has successfully introduced over twenty innovative “Mystical-Greg” multiblock machines and new production lines based on the Thaumcraft universe, vastly enriching the gameplay.

Mod Goals

Pollution’s core objective is to blend the worldviews of GregTech, Thaumcraft 6, and Betweenlands, while exploring potential synergies with Botania and Blood Magic. By establishing a connection between mystical aura and GregTech pollution, the mod encourages players to actively manage aura in their chunks to mitigate the negative effects of pollution. Players must monitor the emissions from multiblock machines’ silencers, as increased pollution levels can impact player health, machine efficiency, and even spawn hazardous rifts. Fortunately, Pollution provides pollution scrubbers to help players restore aura stability. As players delve deeper into mysticism, they will discover that harnessing aura can significantly boost machine productivity.

Mod Philosophy

Pollution adheres to a GT-centric approach, treating Thaumcraft 6’s core content as “Ancient Mysticism.” Players do not need to master Thaumcraft in depth; simply reaching the Infusion stage suffices to experience most of what the mod offers. This design ensures easy accessibility while delivering a deeply integrated gameplay experience.
