Using FormicAPI as a Mod Developer

Shared Foundation for Ant Colony Mods

FormicAPI Mod is a utility library designed for developers creating mods in the Ant Colony collection. Rather than a player-facing mod, it provides reusable code systems to prevent duplication across related projects.

The mod supplies three main toolsets: a multiblock structure system for constructing large machines, a unit formatting tool for displaying numbers and measurements consistently, and thermodynamic physics calculations based on lookup tables. These include specific thermodynamic states such as isobaric heating and isentropic compression.

If you're developing a tech mod within the Ant Colony ecosystem, FormicAPI handles the backend mechanics so your mod can focus on unique features. Install it alongside other Ant Colony mods to enable their interdependencies.
