TurboPickle’s Simple Machines

Greetings everyone! Welcome to simple machines.

Originally I made this project for myself in my desire for a lightweight and not overly-complicated tech mod. As much as I can sometimes enjoy complexity, sometimes I just want to sit back and have a resource generator to remove a bit of grind. I’ve put enough work into this personal project that I think it may actually be worth uploading.

Those words, resource generator, may end up concerning you in regards to balance but have no worry, there is still a balancing act going on.

Much like how furnaces require coal to smelt ingots, these various machines require tools to function, only producing as much as their count of hitpoints. Currently, this mod contains the following machines:

1. Simple Crusher : For turning cobble to gravel and ore to dust. Uses hammers.
2. Dripper : For turning dirt to mud and mud to clay. Uses water.
3. Cobblestone Generator : For generating all base game stones provided you have pickaxes.
4. Autosieve : For sifting through gravel and sand for ores. Uses sieves.

In addition to machines, this mod also adds:

1. Nickel : Ore, dust, and ingot variants
2. Cupro-nickel : An alloy of copper and nickel. Includes armor sets and decorations
3. Stainless Steel : An alloy of iron and nickel. Includes armor sets and limited decorations
4. Blunderbuss : Because who doesn’t like a boom stick

Like I mentioned above, this mod is a work in progress. When I have time I intend on making better textures and possibly adding more machines. Please give feedback as every bit helps make the mod a little better.

I also recommend using JEI. It will help a lot with certain kinds of recipes with both the machines and the hammer use
