Pyrotech Mechanics and Interaction

No-GUI Interaction

Almost every block in Pyrotech is interacted with by right-clicking with an item in hand or an empty hand. To see what is inside a machine, you simply look at it. If you have Waila or The One Probe installed, extended information like progress bars and fluid levels will appear in the HUD.

Incremental Block Drops

Pyrotech changes how blocks drop items based on the tool used. If you break a block with an insufficient tool, you may only receive 'shards' or 'fragments' of the block instead of the block itself. This encourages the use of proper tools for every task.

Mulch and Farmland

By processing organic matter in a Mulcher, you can create Mulch. Applying Mulch to Farmland creates Mulched Farmland, which significantly increases crop growth speed and prevents the soil from dehydrating.

Igniters

Standard Flint and Steel is not available early on. Instead, players must use:

• Bow Drill: A high-effort, low-durability way to start fires
• Flint and Tinder: A slightly better version of the bow drill
• Matchstick: Single-use fire starters

Faucets and Fluid Transfer

Fluids can be moved between tanks and machines using Faucets. Placing a faucet on the side of a tank and providing a redstone signal (or manual click) will cause fluid to flow into a container or machine placed below it.
