Energy and the first machines
When normal survival is established, The technical part of HiveGrid begins.
There are several technological mods in the assembly, But the beginner does not need to use them at the same time.
For the first acquaintance with the industry, we recommend IndustrialCraft 2.
Basic principle
The technical base consists of four main parts:
- power source;
- transmission of energy;
- machines;
- automation.
First, create one small production chain. Not a big factory.
1. The first power source
Find the basic IndustrialCraft 2 generators through JEI.
At the start, you need a simple power source. capable of providing several basic machines.
Maximum efficiency is not yet important. It is more important to have a stable working system.
2. Transfer of energy
After the generator, it is necessary to connect it to the mechanisms.
Pay attention to cables and IC2 energy levels. Do not connect unknown equipment to random power sources.
If you are not sure about the mechanism, first look at its recipe. description and related items in JEI.
3. First useful machine
One of the first goals should be Macerator.
It allows you to move to industrial processing of raw materials It becomes one of the first steps from manual survival to production.
After that, it is useful to gradually move Electrical mechanisms for other operations.
4. Automate routine work
The main idea of technical assembly:
Less manual work, more automated manufacturing.
If the same object is constantly hand-held transfer between several mechanisms, Sooner or later, this process should be automated.
5. Divide the base into zones
Leave a place in advance under:
- energy;
- ore processing;
- storage;
- automation;
- Bees and genetics.
When there are dozens of mechanisms, Such an organization will greatly simplify development.
6. Other technological fashions
Thermal Expansion
Suitable for further processing, machinery and automation.
Immersive Engineering
It adds its own energy. and large industrial structures.
BuildCraft
It can be used for transportation, mechanisms and individual production tasks.
Industrial Foregoing
Especially useful in scaling Automation of various processes.
7. When you need Applied Energistics 2
AE2 is becoming particularly useful. When the number of items and mechanisms ceases to be conveniently maintained They're ordinary chests.
If you have two cars and two trunks, A full ME network is not a priority.
Immediate target
The first industrial base should be able to:
- sustainably produce energy;
- process ore;
- melt down materials;
- conserve resources;
- Reduce the number of manual operations.
When the system is stable, You can go to one of the main directions of HiveGrid. breeding and genetics.
