Materials

An early mod metal — ore in the world and the raw → dust → ingot chain; the base material for LV wires and circuits.

Native sulfur — a mineable non-metal processed into dust for rubber vulcanization.

A rare mod ore metal — ore block and the raw → dust → ingot chain; the material for mid-tier circuits and components.

The rarest of the mod's metals — ore in the world and the raw → dust → ingot chain; the material for MV alloys and machine casings.

The mod's rarest ore — mined with an iron pickaxe, processed into dust and ingot; already goes into the torch, teleporter and incubator, and later into nuclear machines.

The mod's only Nether ore — hidden in netherrack, basalt and blackstone, requires a diamond pickaxe, and processes into dust, ingot and plate.

A liquid fossil resource — finite lakes in the world, collected with a bucket, a capsule or a pump; viscous, flammable, and the start of the rubber chain.

The bulk copper-tin alloy — three copper ingots plus one tin ingot give two bronze ingots in the alloy smelter.

A one-to-one copper-nickel alloy made a single ingot at a time — the cheapest way, by materials, to put nickel to work.

A one-at-a-time iron-nickel alloy — two iron ingots plus one nickel ingot give a single invar ingot in the alloy smelter.

The mod's most expensive alloy by materials — one gold ingot and one silver ingot give a single electrum ingot in the alloy smelter.

A compact block of 9 tempered-iron ingots — stores the metal in one slot and is crafted or uncrafted at a workbench with no loss.

A decorative block of 4 tempered-iron plates — a tech panel with a screen and lines; crafted and uncrafted at a workbench with no loss.

A decorative block of 4 silver plates — a bolted 2x2 metal tile; crafted and uncrafted at a workbench with no loss.

The solid leftover of fermentation — dropped by the fermenter on a roll, the richer the feedstock the likelier. It has no use yet: a deliberate placeholder shipped honestly, with no invented purpose.

A murky olive fluid brewed in the fermenter — the mod's first fuel that is farmed rather than pumped. It does not occur in the world; distilling it a second time yields the nutrient solution the sprinkler sprays.

The light fraction of oil distillation — a golden-yellow fluid, the column's target product. Future fuel of the liquid fuel generator (12 EU/FE/t).

The heavy residue of oil distillation — a thick dark-brown fluid. Weaker fuel than diesel (6 EU/FE/t), but nothing goes to waste — it all burns.

The mod's endgame alloy — one vanilla netherite ingot and two electrum ingots give two netherite alloy ingots in the alloy smelter.

The working fluid of the reactor room. The one mod fluid with no world form at all: no pool, no block, no bucket — steam lives only inside tanks and pipes.

The bright-green product of distilling biofuel a second time — the one mod fluid nothing burns. Its only consumer is the sprinkler, which speeds up crops and crystals.

A block of four ceramic plates — the end of the coal chain, a blast-resistant wall and the dense storage form of the material.

An alloy of palladium and tempered iron — the one material a reactor room is built from: the ingot, the shielding plate, and the reinforced plate that also asks for depleted uranium.
