The Factory Must Thrive
by Eeebsie
The Factory Must Thrive is a Forge technology mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that provides a simple skeleton for building tech machines.
What it does
The mod supplies a basic technology framework rather than a full set of machines. Few machines are included, and most of them do nothing without Multiblocked, which the mod works with. Players and modpack makers can use it to create their own multiblocks, and CraftTweaker can change recipes so the mod fits a specific modpack. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The author notes that updates will follow regularly, and that feature requests are being taken.

CraftTweaker recipe changes
Recipes can be altered with CraftTweaker so the mod fits the balance of a chosen modpack.
