Mechanization Data Pack — Guide
Energy System
The energy system in Mechanization is the backbone of all machine operations. It uses two primary units: * kW (Kilowatts): Represents the power output or consumption rate. * kJ (Kilojoules): Represents the total energy stored within a battery or machine.
Energy Grids
Machines can be organized into specific networks using Grid IDs. By default, all machines connect to the same global grid. However, players can use the Multimeter to isolate networks.
- Setting Grid IDs: Sneak + Right-click a machine with a Multimeter to set its ID to your current Grid ID.
- Changing Your ID: Use the command
/trigger mech_gridid set <number>to change your active ID.
Energy Storage
Energy is stored in Batteries, which come in three tiers. Higher tiers offer larger capacities and faster transfer rates.
| Battery Tier | Capacity | Transfer Rate | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 100,000 kJ | 100 kW | 12 Blocks |
| Tier 2 | 500,000 kJ | 500 kW | 24 Blocks |
| Tier 3 | 2,500,000 kJ | 2,500 kW | 48 Blocks |
Resources & Materials
The mod introduces several new ores and materials that are essential for crafting advanced technology.
Custom Ores
These ores generate naturally in the world and appear as custom blocks (player heads with unique textures): * Copper & Tin: Basic metals used for Tier 1 machinery and bronze-like alloys. * Aluminum: Used for lightweight components and specific upgrades. * Titanium: A rare, high-strength metal found deep underground, required for Tier 3 equipment. * Uranium: Used exclusively as fuel for Fission Reactors.
Advanced Alloys
Alloys are created in the Alloy Furnace. They are divided into Tiers based on the materials required.
