Create: The Factory Must Grow
by drmangotea
With Create: The Factory Must Grow, the Create base gains a dieselpunk branch, adding oil, distilleries, blast furnaces, coke ovens and related materials on top of Create's steam-era machinery.
What it does
The mod extends Create beyond its default steam and clockpunk theme. It moves the tech tree toward a dieselpunk setting, with a crude oil resource and distilleries that refine it, along with coke ovens and blast furnaces for producing fuel and metal. Concrete, steel and sulfur appear as processed materials, and bauxite is mined to obtain aluminum or to build with.
The author describes the project as a test of Create as a modular base for other technology mods, so the content leans on Create's machinery rather than standing alone. Large distilleries, a quad potato cannon and concrete-based construction are among the added pieces. Create: The Factory Must Grow requires Create, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge across 21 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.11, with the Forge build's latest file for 1.20.6 and the NeoForge build's for 1.21.11. The custom license means the project is not open source, though its source code is public.

What the author says
Create is by default a steam/clockpunk mod and most addons aim to expand this part of Create and do that pretty well, we thought the next natural expansion would be moving on from steampunk to dieselpunk. We believe that create could be later used not just as a single steampunk tech mod, but due to its modularity and…
