Environmental Core Mod FAQ

Aethium is obtained as a boule ( Aethium Boule) and processed through the Crystallizer, Crusher, or Assembler into usable forms like Aethium Crystal, Aethium Powder, and Aethium Wafer. The raw Aethium block itself is also placeable as a decorative/building block.

Aethium Bricks can be crafted into Aethium Brick Slabs, Aethium Brick Stairs, and Aethium Brick Walls via crafting or stonecutting. They are primarily decorative building blocks.

Aethium Cobble can be converted into Aethium Cobble Slabs, Aethium Cobble Stairs, and Aethium Cobble Walls using the stonecutter or a crafting recipe. These match the other cobble variants like Erodium, Ionite, and Kyronite.

The Assembler is a processing block used to combine materials into advanced components such as CPUs, Flash Memory, Crystal Lenses, and Interconnects. It is one of the core machines alongside the Crusher and Crystallizer.

Machines use FE Input and FE Output blocks to receive and transmit Forge Energy. You can also use the Creative Energy Source for infinite power in testing or creative setups.

The Crusher processes raw materials into powders, such as Aethium Powder, Erodium Powder, Ionite Powder, Kyronite Powder, Carbon Powder, and Charcoal Powder. These powders are used in further crafting and machine recipes.

CPUs are produced through the Assembler using intermediate components like Wafers, Interconnects, and Crystal Lenses. You will need the appropriate modifier blocks and energy input to run the recipe.

Modifiers such as Amplification, Bandwidth, Dimensional, Electrostatic, Frequency, and Interdimensional Modifiers are used in machine recipes to alter or upgrade processing behavior. They are crafted and inserted into machine setups to change output or capability.

Distilled Water is obtained as a Bucket of Distilled Water, likely produced by processing regular water through a machine such as the Crystallizer or Assembler. It is used as an ingredient in advanced recipes.

They are four parallel material tiers, each with matching sets of Boule, Crystal, Powder, Wafer, Interconnect, Cobble, Bricks, Tiles, Slabs, Stairs, Walls, and Structure Frames. Each tier is processed the same way but yields different crafting components.

Aethium, Erodium, and Ionite Structure Frames are crafted blocks used as structural or machine components. They are made from their respective tier materials via crafting or stonecutting recipes.

The Clear Structure Panel is a transparent building block, useful for windows or enclosures around machines. It is crafted as a decorative/functional block within the mod.
