WoodenCog
by manubarrach
WoodenCog is a compatibility layer for Forge and NeoForge that connects the Tfc base game with Create, letting players automate its processes through Create machinery.
What it does
WoodenCog links a tech-tree survival game with Create, so players can automate most aspects of the base game through Create machinery. The author describes the mod as a whole compatibility layer, intended to let modpack makers and players edit crafts and systems in ways that go beyond what datapacks or scripting alone can do.
The mod probably breaks the intended progression of the base game, since it allows large skips. For that reason the author advises building a custom modpack with the tool rather than using a finished one. Some balancing is still planned to keep finishing the game manageable with the mod installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, targeting 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License; the source code is public.
Key features
Create automation
Base game aspects can be automated with Create machinery, opening systems the base game does not allow.
Deep crafting edits
Pack makers can adjust crafts and systems in ways that datapacks and scripting cannot reach on their own.
Progression skips
The mod permits large jumps through progression, which changes how a playthrough unfolds.
Balancing plans
The author intends further balancing so that finishing the game stays easier to manage with the mod installed.

Use cases
Custom modpacks
Pack makers who combine the base game and Create can use the mod as a base and shape the progression themselves.
Automated factories
Players who want to run base game processes through Create machines can connect the two systems with this layer.
Who it’s for: Modpack makers and players who build their own setups combining the base game and Create. The author recommends it for custom packs rather than finished ones, because the mod can break the intended progression.
