Using JAOPCA to Unify Ore Processing Across Multiple Tech Mods

The main appeal of JAOPCA is running one ore through several different mods' processing chains without hand-crafting compatibility. Once it generates the intermediates, you can pick whichever machine you prefer.

Planning Your Setup

Decide which processing mods you want to bridge. JAOPCA supports a wide range of tech and magic mods, so a typical base might include a pulverizer-style machine, a crusher-style machine, and a smelter-style machine from different mods. JAOPCA fills in the missing dusts and crushed ores so each machine accepts the same input ore.

Building the Chain

1. Set up your ore source and confirm the raw ore is in the Ore Dictionary.

2. Place one processing machine and feed it the ore. Note the intermediate it produces.

3. Feed that intermediate into a second mod's machine to see if JAOPCA generated a follow-up recipe.

4. Compare yields between machines — JAOPCA does not change a mod's own balance, it only adds the missing cross-mod recipes.

This lets you standardize on one ore type and still use every machine you have built, rather than stockpiling ores that only one mod can touch.
