Frequently asked questions

How do I get substrate blocks in survival mode?
Substrate blocks are creative-mode only and cannot be obtained in survival mode. You'll need to use creative mode or commands to access them for building.
Can I mix different metal types in the same build?
Yes, mixing metal types like copper, steel, and cast iron is encouraged for realistic industrial aesthetics. The mod is designed to let you combine different varieties to create varied and detailed structures.
What's the difference between the metal types?
Each metal type (copper, iron, aluminum, steel, cast iron, and rusty) has a distinct visual appearance. The rusty variant provides a weathered look, while the others offer clean metallic finishes suitable for different industrial styles.
How do I build a piping network?
Use the pipe blocks to create connected runs along walls, ceilings, or freestanding. Combine pipes with plates, beams, and other block types to build realistic industrial infrastructure and support structures.
