Veinite Mechatronics
Veinite Mechatronics is a Forge 1.12.2 tech mod built around one red, slightly dangerous metal, with ores, machines and a research tree.
What it does
The mod adds 31 materials, most with ores, ingots, dusts, plates, tools and armour. Each one is entered in the ore dictionary, so recipes from other mods can take these items as ingredients. A config option turns off the ores for players who already have enough copper ore in their pack.
Machines cover the usual tech progression, from smelting and pressing to automated mining and a drill that reaches deposits down to bedrock. JEI shows machine recipes. Players gain items by researching them rather than crafting them: research modules go into server racks, wire racks and a terminal, and points spent there advance the tech tree. Anything researched can be built in the Data Reconstructor, and research is shared with the FTB team.
Key features

Two reactors
A fixed-hull Fusion Reactor and the Veinite Reactor, which players design by choosing box size, fuel rods, cooling rods and casing, with overheating that can cause explosions.
Implants and cyberpsychosis
Implants add strength, but loading too many can cause cyberpsychosis, which can be disabled in the config.
Storage and power
Bins come in four tiers that show the item type and count on the front, tanks hold fluid, and powercells join into one bank.

What the author says
A tech mod for 1.12.2 built around one red, slightly dangerous metal. You start the usual way: dig copper and tin, smelt alloys, press plates, run a generator. Then you find a meteor crash site with veinite in it, and that changes the rest of the mod.
