Actually Additions Mod Wiki

Actually Additions is a massive content mod that bridges the gap between simple utilities and complex automation. It introduces a unique energy system called Crystal Flux (CF), which powers a variety of machines, modular tools, and wireless transport systems. The mod is designed to be self-contained, providing its own documentation via the Actually Additions Manual, which is the first item any player should craft.

Key features include the Atomic Reconstructor for material transformation, the Empowerer for high-tier crystal creation, and the Phantomface system for wireless block interaction. Whether you are automating a massive canola oil power plant or using a 5x5 mining drill, Actually Additions provides the tools to build a highly efficient, wireless tech base.

Actually Additions uses Crystal Flux (CF) as its primary energy source. CF is fully compatible with other common energy systems like Forge Energy (FE), Redstone Flux (RF), and Tesla, operating at a 1:1 conversion ratio without the need for specialized conversion blocks.

Energy Storage

Energy can be stored in various tiers of Batteries or stationary blocks like the Energizer and Enervator.

The mod adds several resources and structures to the world to facilitate its tech progression.

Ores and Materials

• Black Quartz Ore: Found at various Y-levels. It is the foundational material for almost every machine in the mod. It can be processed into Black Quartz.

Wild Plants

Wild versions of the mod's crops can be found in the world. Breaking them yields seeds and the crop itself:

• Canola: Used for oil production.
• Rice: Used for food and crafting slimeball alternatives.
• Flax: A source of string.
• Coffee: Used in the Coffee Maker for buffs.

Structures and Biomes

• Lush Caves: Small, rare underground pockets filled with grass, trees, and water. They provide a source of nature deep underground.
• Treasure Chests: Occasionally found in the world, containing various mod-specific loot.

Actually Additions adds one unique NPC to the game: the Jam Villager.

• Spawn: Naturally spawns in vanilla villages.
• Health: 20 HP.
• Behavior: Functions like a standard villager but offers specialized trades involving Jams. Players can trade Emeralds for various Jams or trade ingredients to the villager.
• Drops: Standard villager drops (XP) if killed, though trading is significantly more beneficial.

The Atomic Reconstructor is the most vital machine in the mod. It uses CF to fire a laser that transforms blocks or items placed in its path.

Transformation Recipes

Lenses

Lenses can be attached to the front of the Reconstructor to change the laser's properties:

• Lens of Color: Changes the color of wool, glass, and other dyeable blocks.
• Lens of Detonation: Causes an explosion where the laser hits.
• Lens of Certain Death: Deals massive damage to entities.
• Lens of the Miner: Transforms Stone into random ores (high CF cost).
• Lens of Disenchanting: Strips enchantments from items and applies them to books.

The Empowerer is used to create the highest tier of crystals. It requires a specific setup: one Empowerer block in the center and four Display Stands placed exactly two blocks away in the cardinal directions.

Empowering Process

1. Place the base crystal in the Empowerer.
2. Place the four required "modifier" items on the Display Stands.
3. Provide CF to all four Display Stands.
4. Once the energy requirements are met, the central item will transform into its Empowered version.

Example: Empowered Restonia Crystal

• Center: Restonia Crystal
• Modifiers: 1x Redstone Block, 1x Brick, 1x Nether Quartz, 1x Black Quartz.
• Result: Empowered Restonia Crystal (used for advanced machines and tools).

Actually Additions offers several ways to generate Crystal Flux, ranging from early-game coal to complex automated oil systems.

Generators

• Coal Generator: Consumes coal/charcoal to produce 30 CF/t.
• Leaf-Eating Generator: Consumes nearby leaf blocks to produce energy.
• Oil Generator: Burns various tiers of Canola Oil for high energy output.
• Bio Reactor: Produces energy based on the variety of biological items (seeds, food) inside it.

Canola Oil Tiers

Canola power is a multi-stage process involving several machines:

1. Canola Press: Turns Canola into Canola Oil.
2. Fermenting Barrel: Processes Canola Oil into Refined Canola Oil.
3. Crystallized Oil: Drop a Crystallized Canola Seed into Refined Canola Oil.
4. Empowered Oil: Drop an Empowered Canola Seed into Crystallized Canola Oil (highest efficiency).

The mod provides powerful, rechargeable tools that replace the need for traditional durability.

The Drill

The Drill is a modular mining tool that can be dyed and upgraded with Augments.

AIOT (All-In-One Tool)

The AIOT combines the Pickaxe, Shovel, Axe, and Hoe into a single tool. It comes in various tiers (Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Crystal tiers).

Actually Additions is famous for its wireless logistics, allowing players to interact with blocks through walls or across distances.

Phantomfaces

A Phantomface acts as a remote proxy for another block. By using a Phantom Connector to link a Phantomface to a chest (or other block), you can pump items into the Phantomface as if you were pumping them directly into the chest.

• Phantomface: For items.
• Phantom Liquiface: For fluids.
• Phantom Energyface: For CF energy.
• Phantom Redstoneface: For redstone signals.
• Phantom Booster: Placed on top of a Phantomface to increase its connection range.

Laser Relays

Laser Relays provide a wireless network for transporting resources:

• Energy Laser Relay: Transports CF. Comes in Basic, Advanced, and Extreme tiers.
• Item Laser Relay: Transports items between inventories.
• Fluid Laser Relay: Transports liquids.
• Laser Wrench: Used to link relays together to form a network.

The mod adds a robust farming system and high-quality food items.

Coffee Maker

The Coffee Maker allows players to brew coffee with customizable effects. By adding different ingredients (like sugar, milk, or cocoa beans), the resulting coffee can provide Speed, Haste, Strength, or other buffs.

Greenhouse Glass

Placing Greenhouse Glass above crops significantly speeds up their growth by utilizing sunlight, even if the crops are deep underground (as long as there is a clear line to the sky above the glass).

Worms

Found randomly when tilling grass into farmland. Worms can be placed on farmland to keep it hydrated and provide a growth boost to surrounding crops in a 3x3 area.

Key Machines

• Crusher: Doubles ore output by grinding them into dust.
• Farmer: Automatically plants and harvests crops in a 9x9 area.
• Block Breaker / Placer: Simple automation for world interaction.
• Precision Dropper: Drops items exactly where needed, often used in Atomic Reconstructor automation.
• Item Repairer: Uses CF to repair tools and armor without consuming materials.

Storage Crates

Storage Crates are high-capacity alternatives to chests. They can be upgraded from Small to Medium to Large, with the Large variant holding hundreds of stacks of items.
