Mekanism MoreMachine – Planting Performance Fork

An unofficial, performance-focused fork of Mekanism: MoreMachine for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.

This version focuses on Planting Factories and includes the other content from the original MoreMachine project.

## Planting Factory changes

– Nutrient solution is charged once at the start of each production cycle instead of being consumed every tick.
– Paid cycles retain their payment across saving, loading and factory tier upgrades.
– Tank capacity supports three complete maximum-consumption batches across all processing slots.
– Speed and Chemical upgrades remain supported. Nutrient consumption uses deterministic totals instead of random per-tick consumption.
– Active/inactive model changes are limited to once every 40 ticks, approximately two seconds at 20 TPS. Production continues at its normal speed.
– Operating particles and light emission can be switched independently inside each factory.
– Both effects are disabled by default, with settings saved separately for each machine.
– Factory operating sound loops are disabled.
– Smoke is reduced when particles are enabled.
– Compact effect buttons without help tooltips.

Energy availability and output space are still checked during production. Power interruptions or blocked outputs pause a paid cycle without charging nutrient solution again.

## Tank capacity

With standard Mekanism settings and normal recipes:

– Basic: 18,000 units
– Advanced: 30,000 units
– Elite: 42,000 units
– Ultimate: 54,000 units

Capacity adapts to configuration values, processing-slot counts and larger recipe requirements.

## Installation

Requires Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge and Mekanism.

Replace the original MoreMachine JAR with this fork. Do not install both versions together.

For multiplayer, install the same fork version on the client and server. Back up your world before switching versions.

## Important behavior

Nutrient solution is consumed when a cycle starts. Cancelling a cycle by removing or changing its seed, or breaking the machine, does not refund that payment.

Normal power interruptions and blocked outputs preserve the payment.

## Testing

The factory changes were validated with 14 Minecraft GameTests, including saving/loading, tier upgrades, resource consumption, effect settings and GUI interaction checks.

Test environment: NeoForge 21.1.194 and Mekanism 10.7.19.85.

Actual FPS improvements have not yet been benchmarked in a complete modpack.
