Mushroom factory
Mushroom is on dirt, bonemealed form one side and harvested from the other side. There is a repeater in order to get some delay, and not gate.

Ejection from minecart (since 1.4C). Storage works the same way, and the brakes
arent that important.

What is PowerCraft?
Intuitive yet powerful industrial mod Ideal for automatic farming and mob spawners Easier than other factory mods

Modules

PowerCraft is modular - consists of plugins, and one Core module. Although modules work alone, I decided not to release them separately. It is more convenient and reliable. To disable modules, edit .minecraft/config/ModLoader.cfg. Disabled modules wont load. Do not disable Core!

General info Hold CTRL while placing blocks to build in opposite direction. I paid special attention to make it possible to build conveyors on top of other blocks, even if they have inventories. thus: You cant open GUI with conveyor, gate or machine in your hand. All blocks that react to redstone can be powered from either side, from above and even from underneath! Some blocks use Tile Entities and items with metadata to hold extra information. Thats why you cant cheat the from TMI.

TRANSPORT
Provides Conveoyr Belts that can move items and mobs. Many types of conveyors let you separate, filter and sort items. Chest and other Container blocks interaction is supported. Automatic Crafting with Automatic Workbench.

Hold SHIFT (sneak) and you wont get moved by belts. Recipes

Basic belt can be crafted also from paper, but with fewer products. Brewing support
As of 1.4-A, conveyors can intelligently interact with brewing stand - fill it with ingredients, water bottles, eject final potions and failed ingredients. Grey belts can fill buckets from nearby water (since 1.4-C even on sides under the belt), fill nearby cauldrons with these buckets, and finally fill bottles from cauldrons. Thats the BREWING SUPPORT!

Conveyor Belt Moves items and mobs. You can build corners using two conveyors, one

leading from side into the other. Basic Conveyor Belt can store items into all Container blocks - on sides, above and under the belt. The only exception is Roaster, which cant be filled from above (for a good reason). It can also fill furnaces: fuel goes into fuel slot, and all smeltable things go into the upper slot. You can eject items with Ejection Belt. Belt can move MINECARTS! And store items into storage minecarts. Speedy Belt Speedy belt works just like the basic belt, but is faster. It cant store items into containers, which is sometimes required.

Redirector Redirector a bit harder to understand, but it isnt that complicated. When it is not powered, it works just like the basic belt. However, once you power it by redstone (even from underneath), it will try to redirect items to a side. If there is no conveyor on either side, nothing will happen. If there is one side conveyor, items will be redirected there. And finally, if there are two side conveyors, items will by default go to left, and when powered, they will go to right. Nothing will go forwards in this case.

Item Ejector [now for minecarts, too] When its powered by redstone, it ejects one stack form the nearby container blocks (chests, furnaces, dispensers, roasters etc.). It needs an impulse (button for example). Ejector cant store items. In the latest update, ejector can work with brewing stand. it waits for potions to be finished, and ejects all potions (not water buckets) and failed ingredients. Since 1.4C, ejectors work also for chest minecarts! Brake Conveyor

This conveyor is very slow, and when it gets powered, it will completely stop the moved stuff. It can be used when you have problems with too high speed (from elevator, for example). Brakes have also a great usage together with Roaster. If you place brake onto a Roaster, it will smelt up to 9 items from stack, where basic belt smelts only 3-4 items from each stack. Brake is useful for conveyor - rail interfacing. It can store items into passing by storage minecarts - these with chests, while not moving them. Important: you need two brakes to stop minecart on belt, its best when they are powered by repeaters.

Item, XP & Mob Separator belt Separator is a selective item redirector (for filtering). Right click your separator to open its sorting GUI. It consists of two 3x3 areas: items in these areas will be redirected to the sides (left and right). Not matching items will continue forwards. NEW: Insert the same item in both halves to split stacks. 3 to left and 1 to right = of stacks to left, to right. You can chain multiple separators to get finer fractions. Mobs can be separated using their primary loot: gunpowder, bone, slimeball, raw pork, raw beef, feathers, rotten flesh, string. Use diamond to separate XP orbs (obtained using laser on roaster).

Detector Belt Works just like the basic belt, but it has a pressure plate on it. You can use both pressure plate types in the recipe, it makes no difference. Items and mobs are detected, and the signal goes to sides and downwards.

Automatic Workbench AW is a machine, but since it requires conveyors for effective work, it is packed in transport module.

AW has a GUI, opened by right click. It is divided into two 3x3 grids. On left you can see a storage grid. What you want to edit is the right grid. you know this type of crafting interface from Workbench.The difference is that when you close AWs GUI, the items will stay inside. You can then feed your AW by conveyor, and once the recipe you inserted is recreated in the left grid, a product will be crafted and ejected through the door. Your recipe grid wont be changed.

Elevator Item elevator is needed for vertical movement of your stuff. It can also carry mobs and players. Items can enter elevator, only if the tube continues at least one block lower, or if there is air under the lowest tube. Elevator will try to eject items if there is a conveyor attached to its topmost block. If you want items and players to leave in the middle, you have to power the middle blocks by redstone. Players dont require leevator to be ejected to side, but items do. This lets you build intelligent elevators for your skyscrapers.

MACHINES
This module contains 3 useful machines, compatible with conveyors. Stone Brick is used to determine the borders. Machine placed on top of stone brick has range limited to one block. Recipes

Roaster is not that black in the game.

Block Dispenser & hoe + bonemeal machine Block Dispenser can build blocks. It will stop when it hits a Stone Brick. Dispenser can use hoe and bonemeal, and some other items. It can work together with harvester in a farm. One dispenser can bonemeal a row of crops, not just one. It can also place minecarts.

Block Harvester Block Harvester can break blocks and harvest crops. Harvested crops will be replaced by the seeds. Trees will be harvested completely (whole tree with one harvester), and replaced by sapling. Leaves wont be removed. Mushrooms on grass will not be harvested, so you can bonemeal them to get giant mushrooms. Giant Mushrooms will be harvested just like trees, and replaced by a small mushroom. Mushrooms on stone or other nongrass blocks will be harvested, making it possible to make a mushroom farm. Harvester can harvest minecarts, and it wont break rails / conveyors. You can extend harvesters range by placing LAPIS LAZULI in its way. It will then reach 20 blocks further, and it can be repeated infinitely. Or almost.

Roaster (instant furnace, or Nether Field generator) Roaster can be used for grilling your chickens. You shouldn't think its unfair. Smelting items consumes the same amount of fuel as the real furnace, and it consumes fuel even if it is just turned on (slowly).

If you place a conveyor on top of it, it will work as an industrial furnace. It is best to use brake for this. Conveyor on top of roaster can smelt individual items, and 3 items from each stacks. Brake can smelt up to 9 items in a stack. You should get more roasters in a line, or use some loop with separator on top of them if you want to smelt whole stacks. Conveyors cant store items into roasters from above. Right click your roaster to open its GUI. Stack size is limited to 16, thus one Roaster can contain up to 16*8=128 pieces of fuel (two stacks). Fuel can be inserted by a conveyor from side or from underneath. It can set mobs on fire, so it can be used in grinders. Roaster does not emit light, so it wont disturb mobs spawning. Roaster with fuel inside is turned on by redstone (lever or wire for example), and it can be extinguished the same way. New: Nether field. When roaster burns netherrack, it emits red particles in a great range (12x12x4). This area, called Nether Field, lets Nether Wart grow in the normal world (overworld), and it also turns gravel into soulsand. This, however, takes some time and costs some netherrack. Nether wart has to be planted on soulsand. Laser (XP harvester - if placed on roaster) Laser sends redstone signal when some mob or player interrupts the beam. Mount laser on top of ROASTER, add fuel and turn the roaster on, and you will get XP extraction killer beam. Be careful, it kills every living creature, including players. XP will be dropped, can be moved by conveyors. In separator, use

diamond to separate XP orbs. Laser will give you 70% of the XP points you can get by legit killing.

XP storage (now with depositing!) Compatible with conveyors. Laser on roaster kills some mob -> XP orbs are moved by conveyor -> separator can separate XP orbs (insert diamond in the separator - diamond means also XP here) -> This device will collect XP points. Right click to withdraw few levels. Click again to get more. When something is collected, it sends redstone signal. SNEAK + right click to deposit XP points. Dropping XP orbs on breakdown was removed due to a bug in Notchs orb picking code. Just make sure the storage is empty before removal.

LOGIC
Recipes

Logic module provides logic gates and 3 flip-flops. Gates They are one-block chips, compact and powerful. Red arrow is always output, purple are inputs. Gates cant be cheated from TMI, you have to craft them.

D and RS flip-flops have two outputs, so you can use them in both directions. All gates have one tick delay, which is needed for technical reasons.

Pulsar Pulsar sends short redstone pulses. Right clicking: Normal -> longer delay Sneaking -> shorter delay Hold STICK to add 1.5 seconds (30 ticks) each step.

Special sensors (DAY, RAIN, Empty+Full Chest)

These special sensors will turn on when the condition becomes true. Empty chest detector is very useful for larger factories. Its on when the nearby storage block is empty. Works also for roasters and machines. Craft Empty Chest Detector with NOT gate (on top) -> Full Chest Detector!

WIRELESS (radio etc.)

Radio transmitter an receiver. Portable transmitter (Radio remote). Signal lights Motion Detectors.

Recipes

Radio Right click radio block to set its channel (use whatever you want). You can build more radio devices with the same channel, the signal will be shared (OR gate). Right click radio block with Remote to set the channel of remote. Each remote can have different channel.

Motion Sensors There are 3 of them - for items, mobs and players. Mob detector detects all living creatures except Player - animals, monsters, NPCs. Range is determined by what is under the sensor. Obsidian - very long range Stone (all rocks) - long range Dirt, gravel, sand etc. - medium range Melon, pumpkin, wool, glass etc. - small range. Planks - very short range.

Sensors send redstone signal when the entity approaches.

Signal lights (Control Lights) Crafted of one redstone and one glowstone. You can then dye them - with all dyes. Even black ;) Lights can be placed on each side: on ceiling, on floor and on sides. Light is almost as good as from torch.

Factory ideas
Most of these factories use Pulsar for timing. Wiring can be done under the machines, it works too.

Cobblestone maker Flint maker (dispenser and harvester, connected with belts) All smelting and crafting recipes can be automated with belts (and roaster, if you want). MELON & PUMPKIN, SUGAR CANE, CACTUS, TREES, WHEAT, FLOWERS, MUSHROOMS (giant, too) XP farming is now possible with lasers and XP storage. Automatic potion makers Vending machine with automatic goods refill and paying by diamonds Storage Minecart filling stations (ejecting is not possible yet)
