Integrating the Create Ultimate Factory Addon
Integrating the Create: Ultimate Factory addon into an ongoing world expands your kinetic infrastructure by bridging isolated item loops into fully closed automated cycles.
Integrating with Existing Kinetic Infrastructure
Because Create: Ultimate Factory introduces zero new machine blocks, integration requires no new crafting recipes for your tools. You utilize the exact same Mechanical Presses, Encased Fans, Basins, and Crushing Wheels already present in your base.
When planning your factory floor layout, consider dedicating distinct wings to the five machine workflows:
- Compacting section: A series of basins flanked by fluid pipes delivering lava and water.
- Haunting section: Depots and belts aligned in front of soul fire air streams.
- Washing section: Belt lines cooled and washed with water-blown fan streams.
- Crushing section: Paired crushing wheels handling bulk stone and coral grinding.
- Mixing section: Mixers powered by high-speed vertical shafts.
High-Value Closed-Loop Chains
Integrating the addon allows players to connect previously disparate production lines into infinite loops:
1. The Infinite Nether Loop
In standard gameplay, netherrack must be quarried manually. With the addon:
- A basalt generator creates infinite Basalt using lava, blue ice, and soul soil.
- An Encased Fan blowing through soul fire haunts the basalt into Netherrack.
- The netherrack is split: half goes to a crushing wheel for building blocks, while the other half enters a Basin with Flint and 50mb of Lava under a Mechanical Mixer to produce Redstone.
2. The Mob-Free Gunpowder Circuit
- Connect a tree farm to a furnace bank to create Charcoal.
- Haunt charcoal into Coal via an air stream.
- Crush scoria through Crushing Wheels to harvest Blaze Powder.
- Route 2 Coal and 1 Blaze Powder into a basin under a Mechanical Mixer to yield 3 Gunpowder.
Logistics and Filtering
To ensure smooth operation:
- Use Brass Funnels with item frames or attribute filters to prevent intermediate items from jamming basins.
- Set mechanical presses and mixers to trigger only when the exact required counts (such as 9 Coal Blocks or 2 Gravel) are present.
- Maintain consistent fluid buffers with fluid tanks to prevent recipe stalls during lava-dependent compacting.
