Is This Industry?
by franstanic24
Is This Industry? is a NeoForge transportation and utility mod that lets players build machines which produce more machines, with ores and resources built up over time.
What it does
Machines in the mod can craft further machines, so a factory grows by feeding its own output back into new production lines. The mod is aimed at players who want to automate building, and the gradual speed-up is meant to reward careful planning rather than shortcuts. It is sorted under Transportation, with Technology, Utility and Storage as secondary categories.
The mod depends on TomatoLib, which must be installed alongside it on NeoForge. Files cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.7, with 1.0.4 as the latest NeoForge build for 1.21.1. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the client and server both need the mod.
Key features
Self-expanding machines
Machines can produce other machines, letting a factory extend itself as the player finds new recipes.
Ore production
Ore output is tuned so that resource gathering stays limited and the player must balance throughput against upkeep.
Automation focus
Production lines are built from connected machines that pass items along, which suits large automated bases.
