Blue Power Mod — Reference
Machines
Blue Power includes several machines for processing materials and automating world interactions.
Processing Machines
- Alloy Smelter: A 3x3 furnace used to create alloys. It does not require a specific pattern, only the correct ingredients.
- Red Alloy Ingot: 4x Redstone + 1x Iron Ingot (or Copper).
- Blue Alloy Ingot: 4x Teslatite + 1x Silver Ingot.
- Brass Ingot: 3x Copper + 1x Zinc.
- Project Table: An advanced crafting table with an internal 18-slot inventory. It 'remembers' the last recipe used and can pull items from its internal buffer.
Automation Blocks
- Block Breaker: Breaks the block in front of it when receiving a redstone pulse and ejects it out the back (or into a tube).
- Deployer: Simulates a player right-clicking with the item in its inventory. Can be used to plant crops, place blocks, or use tools.
- Igniter: Lights a fire in front of it when powered; extinguishes it when unpowered.
- Buffer: A simple storage block that interfaces well with tubes to act as a holding area for items.
Tools and Equipment
Several specialized tools are required to manage Blue Power systems effectively.
- Screwdriver: The most important tool. Used to rotate logic gates, change the mode of tubes, and configure machines. Right-clicking rotates the block; Shift-right-clicking cycles through modes.
- Handsaw: Used to create Microblocks. By placing a block and a Handsaw in a crafting grid, players can create Slabs, Panels, Covers, Strips, and Nooks.
- Athame: A specialized dagger that deals massive damage to Endermen and is often used in rituals or for obtaining specific drops in associated mods.
- Gem Tools: Ruby, Sapphire, and Amethyst can be used to craft tools with durability and speed between Iron and Diamond.
Recipes and Crafting Components
Many logic gates require sub-components created in the Alloy Smelter or via specialized crafting.
Essential Components
- Silicon Wafer: Created by smelting Coal or Silicon. The base for all logic gates.
- Red Wafer: Smelted from a Silicon Wafer and Redstone.
- Blue Wafer: Smelted from a Silicon Wafer and Teslatite.
- Cathode: A logic component used in gate recipes.
- Anode: A logic component used in gate recipes.
- Pointer: Used in the construction of Timers and Sequencers.
