Electric Machines
| Machine | Function |
|---|---|
| Electric Furnace | Smelts items using RF power. |
| Electric Crusher | Automatically grinds ores into dust (Ore Doubling). |
| Alloyer | Combines multiple metals or materials into alloys. |

| Crucible | Melts solid blocks and items into liquid form. |
| Solidifier | Cools liquids into solid blocks or items (e.g., Lava into Obsidian). |
Energy Storage
NeoTech provides RF Storage Cubes to store excess power. These come in four tiers: 1. Basic: Low capacity. 2. Advanced: Medium capacity. 3. Elite: High capacity. 4. Creative: Infinite energy output (available only in Creative mode).
Tools and Equipment
NeoTech adds a suite of Electric Tools that use RF instead of durability. These tools can be recharged in any RF-compatible charging station or storage cube.
- Electric Pickaxe: High-speed mining tool.
- Electric Shovel: Efficient for large-scale excavation.

Miscellaneous Blocks
NeoTech includes several utility blocks that solve common automation problems:
- Phantom Glass: A unique block that appears as solid glass but allows players to walk through it. It remains solid for other entities and items, making it perfect for hidden entrances or mob traps.
- Flushable Chest: A storage container that can be cleared instantly. When it receives a Redstone signal, all items inside are deleted.
- Machine Wall: A decorative block that matches the texture of NeoTech machines, allowing for seamless industrial builds.
