Walkthrough to the 3D printer

Most items from this mod require titanium to make. Production of titanium is a complex process with multiple steps requiring several resources.

You will need to gather several minerals: quartzite, limestone, dolomite, halite and ilmenite. They can be found between -30 - +120 height in the world.

You will need steel in crafting some items and building structures. You can also make steel tool set from it in the fine anvil.

Next step is processing raw ilmenite into titanium slag. It is done in the ore thermal furnace.

You need to produce chlorine from salt. First use a mixer to make brine, then process it in the electrolyzer.

Energy can be produced in the combustion generator or experience-based generator .

When you made chlorine and titanium slag, you can process them in the fluid reactor to make titanium tetrachloride.

Now you need to make magnesium. First make ferrosilicon in the fine blast furnace, then make magnesium from it. When you got magnesium, you can now process it in the fluid reactor with titanium tetrachloride to make titanium ingots.

Next you will need 3D printer to make other items from this mod. To make 3D printer, you will need to make tempered glass from the regular glass. Once you made the printer, you will need to supply it with energy through the back proxy.

Quartzite

It's a mineral needed to make silica bricks that are used to build several structures in the mod. It is also used in production of ferrosilicon that is needed to make magnesium.

Limestone

It's a mineral used in production of steel.

Halite

Halite is a salt mineral, used to produce chlorine.

Dolomite

Used to produce ferrosilicon.

Ilmenite

Ilmenite is a mineral containing titanium. It needs processing.

Coke

Coke is needed in production of steel. It can be made in the coke furnace only from coal.

Structures

Several functional blocks in this mod are multiblocks - they require a structure to be built to function. When you place the main block, it will show a transparent preview of blocks needed to be placed around it. If a block placed is invalid, it will show a red cube. When the structure is complete, you will hear 2 beeps. If a structure becomes incomplete, you will hear 2 rough beeps.

Multiblock proxy

Proxy is a block that interfaces with the main block for item, energy and fluid handling. It means you can insert and extract them through this block.

Coke furnace

Produces coke from the coal.

Fine blast furnace

Used to make ferrosilicon, magnesium and steel.

Fine blast furnace

Forge

Used to heat up iron and steel for use in smithing. It takes time for the forge to heat up. The higher the temperature, the faster ingots are heated up.

Fine forge

Functional blocks

Fine anvil

Used to make items from the hot ingots. You need to arrange hot ingots in the grid, then you need some strikes with a hammer on the anvil to make them.

Hammer

Hammer is needed for metalworking in the anvil. Use it to strike on the anvil. A bar on the screen will show crafting progress.

Ore thermal furnace

This block makes titanium slag from the ilmenite. It can also smelt metals a second faster than the vanilla blast furnace.

Ore thermal furnace

Mixer

Used to make brine from the salt chunks. You need to fill it with water and supply energy.

Electrolyzer

Electrolyzer extracts chlorine from the brine. Supply brine through the left proxy. Supply energy through the back proxy. Chlorine will be deposited into the right gas tank.

Electrolyzer

Fluid reactor

Used to make titanium tetrachloride, which is then used to make titanium ingots. Input fluid tank must be placed in the bottom center.

Fluid reactor

3D printer

3D printer

Items

Drainer

This item deletes liquids on right click. It is powerful, because water and lava frequently hide resources and inhibit movement.

TNT gun

Can throw ignited TNT.

Spawner transporter

Another powerful item that stores a spawner on right click.

Friendly mob container

Can store a mob that is not aggressive.

Universal mob container

Can store any mob.

Multitools

These combine axe, hoe, pickaxe and shovel functionality.

Steel torch

Steel torch can be placed on a block's bottom.

Steel shield

A shield with higher durability.

Other functional blocks

Gas tank

Can store gases from this mod. Currently, there is only one gas - chlorine. Right click on it with an item to show what it contains.

Liquid tank

Can store liquids. Right click with an item on it to show what it contains.

Tempered glass

More blast resistant glass.

Solid fuel-based generator

Generates energy from fuel items.

Food-based generator

Generates energy from food.

Lava-based generator

Generates energy from lava.

Biofuel-based generator

Generates energy from plant matter. Biofuel value of the item is shown in the tooltip.

Honeycomb-based generator

Generates energy from honeycombs.

Experience-based generator

Generates energy from a player's experience. To add experience, stand on top of the generator.

Accumulator tier 1

Energy storage with 300000 capacity.

Accumulator tier 2

Energy storage with 900000 capacity.

Pump

Pumps liquids. Has configurable range. Needs pump pipes to reach the liquid below.

Fluid extractor

Extracts fluids from the back block to the front block. Doesn't store any fluid.

Furnace heater

Speeds up adjacent furnaces up to 3 times.

Enchantment extractor

Extracts enchantments from enchanted items.

Bottle filler

Fills bottles with water.

Block breaker

Breaks block in front of it, stores drops inside.

Experience tank

Stores experience

Recycler

Recycles some items into their ingredients.

Ore refiner

Produces more items from 1 raw resource.

Breeder

Breeds animals.

Chunk keeper

Keeps a chunk loaded.

Item exporter

Exports defined items from the inventories connected to an item pipe network or from an inventory at the back.

Item importer

Imports items into inventory on the back. Doesn't store items. Can have types of imported items set.

Miner's TNT

Destroys mundane blocks without drops and doesn't break ores. Doesn't damage entities.

Drill controller

Uses drills to break blocks and store their drops. Drills need to be placed adjacent to each other and one of them needs to touch the drill controller. Put drill bits into the drill controller, place an item container adjacent to it, supply energy and activate it with the button. When finished, drill controller can be broken without losing its drill bits.

Box tiers 1, 2, 3

An explosion resistant item container.

Teleporter

Used to teleport players to other teleporters. You can set a teleporter to be private or public. Needs energy.

Crop harvester

Harvests and replants crops in a 9x9 area.

Tree harvester

Harvests trees in a 9x9 area.

Fine Crafting Table

This table shows what player can craft with the items in his inventory and allows crafting them.

Potion station

Has 3 slots for potion ingredients. When brewing, slots are cycled, so you can make 3-step potions. If an ingredient is taken out, used slot is set to first. Insert ingredients from the top, extract potions from the rest slots.

Redstone cable

Transmits redstone signal without loss. Can have each side toggled. Doesn't react directly to redstone dust; use a repeater between them if you want that.

Trading station

Shows trades from the villagers around 64 block range.
