📋 About This Mod

Welcome to TS technologies where we take your unwanted and unneeded items and turn them into something more useful.

To unlock the machines! Put 10 steel bars into a furnace to make a TS unlocker, as soon as you pick this up, the engineering table will be unlocked at a metalwork station, all current machines can be crafted from the engineering table.

The Generator The generator is your source of energy cells, put either coal, wood (in stacks of 5), tarfuel or biofuel into it to generate energy cells.

Another function of the generator is to 'transform' energy cells to condensed energy cells (takes 100 cells for 1 condensed) and also works for condensed back to regular cells.

The Beaker The Beaker is a machine for all you farmers and hunters, for people with more food then they could ever eat. Now you can turn all your extras into fuel for your ship! Propel yourself around the universe with the remains of your fallen enemies!

To make your bio-fuel, you either need 2 piece of raw alien meat or 2 pieces of any crop (except Oculemon which is 8) in the game, each bio-fuel canister is worth a nice 5 fuel. Also 100 'slime' or 50 'plant matter' will create one biofuel

The beaker can also create tar fuel, a very useful fuel for your generators (it can't be used as ship fuel), each tar fuel canister requires 50 tar blocks.

The Crusher and The Reclaimer Fed up of those 6 stacks of different colored dirt you got, or the endless amount of cobblestone you seem to be accumulating? Well worry no more, put all your unwanted rocks, dirts, sands and more into 'The Crusher' and turn it into mineral mix!

Mineral mix is like a currency for making metals, all crush-able items will make mineral mix and you can use it at The Reclaimer and with some energy, turn them directly into bars! This is not a cheat mod though, so these recipes are not cheap!

The better the quality of material used in the crusher, the more mineral mix you will get, as a general rule, the lower down you mined it from, the more mineral mix it will give! Moon materials are generally worth more than standard ones, being harder to get and meteorite will give the most of any material!

Things you CAN'T crush: -Unique/dungeon blocks - Crafted blocks (all bricks and packed dirt) -Ores (to preserve balance) -Anything thats not a mineral (plant blocks, snow/slush, ect.)

And finally, the crusher will only crush in stacks of 25, if it's not working, it cant be crushed or you haven't put enough in!

'The Seed Synthesizer' - Creates Unique new plants through combining old seeds and cellmateria.

Vilepod- Grows on the ceiling and will happily latch onto and grow on
