Getting Started with IU Industrial Upgrade Mod

Your First Steps

When you join a world with IU installed, check your inventory for the Ore Scanner tablet. This tool is essential—hold it to locate large ore veins buried underground, replacing the random ore distribution with rewarding mining trips.

Next, open your custom guide book. It walks you through the Primitive era and shows you how to build your first machines. Start by crafting simple steam-powered equipment before attempting more complex electricity generation.

The mod progresses through multiple technology eras, eventually unlocking advanced systems like solar panels, wind turbines, and nuclear reactors. As you advance, you'll gain access to powerful armor, energy backpacks, and jetpacks. Later stages even let you establish space colonies on other planets to harvest rare materials and liquids.

Focus on following the tech tree one era at a time rather than jumping ahead.
