Generate Power and Run Automatic Crafting

Create a Hydroelectric Setup

Place a Hydroelectric Generator in flowing water—rivers work best, but you can also create artificial water channels. The generator converts water flow into energy and stores it in connected Energy Cells. Distribute power across your base using Energy Cables.

Set Up Autocrafting

Place an Autocrafter near your item pipe network and connect it to an Energy Cell. Right-click the Autocrafter to open its interface and insert a recipe card programmed with your desired craft. Connect Item Pipes to feed ingredients from storage and extract finished products.

Power Your Utilities

Use generated energy to run Mending Stations—these consume Liquid XP and power to repair damaged tools and armor while preserving enchantments. You can also power Monster Repulsers to create safe zones around your base by projecting an energy field that prevents hostile mob spawning.

Scale your hydroelectric setup by adding more generators or expanding your water flow system as your automation grows.
