Reasonable Realism Expanded Industry & Tech

Expanded Industry adds the machinery needed to process the high volume of ore chunks and tiny dusts produced by Harder Ores.

The Windmill (Multiblock)

To power industrial machines, you must construct a Windmill. It consists of:

1. Millstone: The base processing block (3x3 structure)
2. Axel: Connects the Millstone to the Windvane
3. Windvane: Catches the wind to provide mechanical power

Key Machinery

• Millstone: Grinds raw ore chunks into Tiny Dusts. It acts as a basic ore doubler (producing 2 tiny dusts per chunk).
• Sifter: Automatically collects tiny dusts dropped on top of it and combines them into Large Dusts at an 8:1 ratio (more efficient than the 9:1 manual crafting recipe).
• Sluice: Consumes gravel or sand and water flow to produce nuggets, flint, and tiny dusts.
• Pressure Packager: A mechanical crafter that compresses items into blocks (e.g., 9 coal into 1 coal block) or converts snow into ice.
• Tanning Rack: Used to dry rawhide into leather over time, providing a non-lethal way to obtain leather from animal skins.

Tools and Instruments

• Hydrometer: Measures local rainfall and humidity. Right-clicking a crop shows its ideal growth conditions.
• Calendar: Tracks the passage of days and the current season.
• Diamond-Studded Tools: A mid-tier tool set that uses less diamond than standard tools but offers the same mining level with reduced durability.
