MekaTFC
by zhixuan45
MekaTFC is a NeoForge compatibility module that joins Mekanism machinery to the geological and survival rules of TerraFirmaCraft.
What it does
The module links two mods with very different design goals. TerraFirmaCraft rebuilds the original game around realistic geological formations, primitive survival and ritualistic metallurgy, while Mekanism is a large industrial technology mod built on gas and fluid reactions, mineral processing and an automated digital network. MekaTFC lets the two work together, so Mekanism machinery can sit inside a TerraFirmaCraft world.
Instead of swapping item IDs in a shallow way, MekaTFC ties Mekanism's raw material network into TerraFirmaCraft's mechanical structure. Players can start in a hard early-game setting and move up a chain of upgrades toward general-purpose machinery, keeping the world rules of TerraFirmaCraft throughout. The module requires Mekanism and TerraFirmaCraft, and it is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only. It runs on client and server, and the code is All rights reserved, so the source is not open source.
Key features
Osmium veins in the stone
Primary osmium forms clustered veins deep underground, with small fragments scattered on the surface as prospecting clues.
Prospecting pickaxe
A prospecting pickaxe lets players locate osmium veins and read the surrounding rock strata before mining.
Ore textures
Ores use semi-transparent, perforated textures that blend into the surrounding rock formations.
Casting and forging osmium
Refractory clay molds cast molten osmium into ingots, which are then welded into a double ingot at the anvil by hammering at high temperature.
Steel casing core part
Wrought iron plates and osmium ingots are fused and hammered together on a level 3 TerraFirmaCraft anvil to make the steel casing used in general-purpose machinery.
