Industrial ForegoingMob / plant / liquid extraction machines — fluid-based automation
About
Successor to MineFactory Reloaded. Machines for everything that needs auto-collection: Mob Slaughter Factory (kills mobs in area, outputs essence + meat), Plant Gatherer / Sower (auto-farming), Animal Rancher (auto-shears/milks), Petrified Fuel Generator (cheap RF), Liquid Pink Slime (joke-fluid that grows mobs). Combine with Mob Grinding Utils for mass farming. Industrial Foregoing is a tech automation mod built around FE-powered machines, fluids, and machine frames. It adds early Latex/Plastic processing with the Fluid Extractor and Latex Processing Unit, farming machines like Plant Sower and Plant Gatherer, mob machines like Mob Crusher and Mob Duplicator, and late resource systems such as Ore Laser Base, Fluid Laser Base, and Mycelial Reactor.
Getting started
Make Industrial Foregoing's Manual first if Patchouli is present: it is crafted with a Book, Redstone, and Dirt. Your first progression block is usually the Fluid Extractor, using logs, iron, redstone, cobblestone, a piston, a light weighted pressure plate, and a Pity Machine Frame. Put the Fluid Extractor against a log to make Latex, feed Latex and Water into a Latex Processing Unit for Dry Rubber, then smelt Dry Rubber into Plastic.
What you can do
- Produce Latex, Dry Rubber, and Plastic for Machine Frames and later machines.
- Automate crops and trees with Plant Sower, Plant Gatherer, Plant Fertilizer, Hydrator, Hydroponic Bed, and Simulated Hydroponic Bed.
- Build mob farms with Mob Crusher for drops and Essence, or Mob Slaughter Factory for Liquid Meat and Pink Slime.
- Use Mob Imprisonment Tool plus Mob Duplicator to spawn captured mobs using Essence.
- Generate ores and fluids with Ore Laser Base, Fluid Laser Base, Laser Drills, and colored Laser Lenses.
- Store bulk items and fluids in Black Hole Unit, Black Hole Tank, and Black Hole Controller.
Endgame goals
A top-tier setup usually combines Ore Laser Base and Fluid Laser Base arrays charged by multiple Laser Drills, with Laser Lenses tuned for target resources. The late power side is the Mycelial Reactor setup, which depends on running the different Mycelial Generators, plus Infinity Charger for Infinity Drill, Infinity Saw, Infinity Backpack, and other Infinity tools.
