Primitive Circuits FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using this mod?
Begin by crafting a
Grinder Block to process raw ores into dust, which is the foundation of ore multiplication. You'll need basic materials like copper and wood, which you can gather normally, then progress to automation machinery as you collect more resources.

Use the
Grinder Block to crush raw ores into dust, then process the dust further to maximize yield up to six times the original amount. For faster processing, upgrade to the
Netherite Grinder once you have access to netherite materials.

No—Primitive Circuits Mod uses simple item-based fuels instead of complex power systems. Machines run on materials like copper ingots, blaze rods, and coal, keeping the mod lightweight and vanilla-friendly.
How do I set up automatic crop harvesting?
Place a
Crop Harvester next to mature crops and attach a chest to collect the output. The harvester will automatically collect fully grown crops and deposit them into the connected chest.

Shard ores spawn naturally in the Nether and the End alongside vanilla ores, while Unobtanium ore appears as a rare endgame ore. Explore these dimensions to gather materials for high-tier gear and tools.
Can I repair my tools without going to a crafting table?
Yes—use the Tool Repair Block by placing damaged equipment inside and feeding it copper ingots as fuel. This is faster than traditional crafting and keeps your gear in working condition during long mining sessions.
What do the magical gems do?
Gems provide temporary survival utilities like flight, fire immunity, automatic feeding, and gear repairs, but they consume durability with each use. They're useful emergency tools for dangerous situations or tedious tasks like traversing the Nether.
How does the Tick Acceleration Block work?
It speeds up block updates in an adjustable radius around it when powered by copper, making crops grow faster, ores process quicker, and other timed mechanics accelerate. This is useful for speeding up farms and automation setups.
What's the Simpel Spawner for?
Capture a mob egg inside the Simpel Spawner to safely collect drops from that mob type without building a traditional mob farm. It's a simpler alternative to vanilla spawning mechanics.
Can I use this mod with other tech mods?
Yes—Primitive Circuits Mod is designed to be lightweight and vanilla-compatible, so it works well alongside other mods without conflicting power systems or creating balance issues.
