Tech Reborn FAQ

Start by gathering basic resources and crafting your first machine—the Alloy Smelter is a good early goal since it lets you combine materials into alloys needed for better tools and machines. You'll need to progress through different machine tiers as you gather more advanced materials, so focus on one machine at a time rather than trying to build everything at once.

Single-block machines like the Alloy Smelter work on their own once placed, while multiblock machines like the Fusion Reactor require you to arrange multiple blocks in a specific pattern to function. Multiblocks are more powerful but need more resources and careful assembly—check the machine's interface for the exact structure required.

Plant rubber trees and wait for them to grow, then harvest the sticky orange sap that appears on the trunk—this sap is the raw rubber you need for many recipes. You can automate this process later with machines, but early on manual harvesting is the simplest approach.

Tech Reborn has its own built-in power system and doesn't require other mods to generate or distribute energy. Machines consume power when running, so you'll need to build generators and set up cables to keep your factory running.

Tech Reborn is designed to work standalone, but it's generally compatible with other mods—just be aware that mixing multiple tech mods can create balance issues or redundant machines. Check community forums if you're combining it with specific mods to see if there are known conflicts.

Use the Auto Crafting Table to set up recipes that craft automatically when you supply the ingredients—you can configure it to make specific items repeatedly. Connect it to your storage and power systems to fully automate your production line.

Check that the machine has power, the correct input items, and enough space for output—machines won't run if any of these are missing. Also verify you've built any multiblock machines correctly by checking the interface for the required structure.

Large factories with many machines can impact performance—try reducing the number of active machines, spreading them out, or disabling particle effects in the mod's config if available. Running fewer machines at once and organizing your factory efficiently helps maintain better frame rates.

Each tier of machines requires materials from the previous tier, so you'll naturally progress by crafting better tools and machines as you gather more advanced resources. Focus on one tier at a time and use lower-tier machines to process materials for the next tier up.

Most machines can be broken and picked up, but multiblock machines will disassemble into individual blocks when you break them—you'll need to rebuild the structure to use them again. Always use the correct tool to break machines to avoid losing them.
