CMATD

Welcome to the world of Composite Modular Adapting Technological Devices, or CMATD for short!

This mod aims to add technology that hasn’t been in the game for a while. Or at least, that’s what the goal is, plus a little extra flair and such wherever wanted.

But that is not all, the mod will try to innovate with some potentially under-used areas of the game, making them more useful than they currently are.

In terms of technology complexity and time it takes to make things, consider this mod low-tier complexity and low-tier time, but do not underestimate the power of simple.

Some base materials included are:

• Compoundite (a sturdy yet not perfectly iron-like substance, used for crafting low tier stuff, generates near surface to lower deepslate levels in caves)
• Lodealite (a shiny but durable material used in crafting most machinary, generates near surface to lower deepslate levels in caves)

Base machines included are:

• Cobble Maker: Generates cobblestone from energy
• Masher: Mashes things into other things (data driven, inworld interaction)
• Jam Maker: Makes jams from sugar, jam jars, and a berry of some kind (data driven, only works in daylight hours, saves progress when items are removed mid-craft)
• Presser: Presses items into other items using patterns (data driven internally, only works in daylight hours)

Energy generators included are:

• Base Generator (makes power from furnace fuels, generates a fair bit of energy from fuels)
• Solar Generator (makes little power, and is dependent on time of day)
• Wind Generator (makes little power, and is dependent on height in world)
• Hydro Generator (generates power when the vents have flowing water around them)
• Lunar Generator (makes power using the reflected beams of the sun from the moon, generates significantly less power than the solar generator)
• Redstone Dynamo Engine (makes power from redstone blocks, each block surrounding it increases power output)
• Food Reactor (turn some food into energy using jam, decent power output)
• Lightning Generator (Harness the power of lightning, with a cooldown, strongest output, but slowest to produce if demand is high)
• Heat Generator (generates wherever a heat source is, like magma or a campfire, medium power output)
• Gas Vents (vents that produce many types of gas, and can be found nearly anywhere in the world, can be silk touched to obtain)
• Gas Tank (place next to gas producers to gain gas, and put gas consumers next to the tank)
• Gas Engine (uses gas to make energy, just put a tank full of gas next to it, with a rotational energy converter next to the rotating engine)
• Rotational Energy Converter (converts nearby rotating engine spinning into energy, fairly good energy output)

Compats:

• Just Dire Things (tag support)
• LaserIO (item, fluid and energy transfer tests)
• Mekanism (tested with their machines and wires)
• Industrial Foregoing (custom laser lens ore conditions)
• EMI (custom recipe support)
• ProjectE (all items that should have EMC have it, no EMC exploits detected)
• Jade (custom container info display)
• Modern Industrialization (for testing recipes and item/fluid interaction)
