(Better (Infernal)) Tinker's Firma (Factory) Craft 7.77 - (Probably) the final update I'll end up doing on this pack, I keep getting sidetracked by stuff to try. Disclaimers below the modlist (very important)! Download (for the impatient who don't care about the rest of the post) MC 1.6.4 Forge 965 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2HHvCpCHfqVcVVTdVN6Mm5DQTQ/view?usp=sharing BUILD STUFF! BUILD A SMELTERY AND IT'LL SUPPORT MOST* OF THE TFC ORES! BUILD A FORGE AND THERMAL EXPANSION'S ITEMDUCTS CAN HELP AUTOMATE IT! (Yes, the enchanting table and anvil do, in fact, work with some TFC equipment) COLLECT NEUTRAL MOBS! BREED AND CULL THEM FOR DELICIOUS JUICY MEAT! SEE ALL THOSE CRATES EVERYWHERE? THEY'LL STORE MORE THAN CHESTS AND ARE EXPANDABLE! JUST BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU'RE SWINGING THAT AXE, MEATSPLOSIONS ARE NOT UNDER MY PURVIEW WAIT WHAT'S THAT THE MFR LASER DRILL?? THAT'S RIGHT! VANILLA AND (NON-TFC) MOD ORES HAVE USES THAT ARE USEFUL! YOU EVER WANTED TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE TO *DO* IN TFC? HERE'S AN OPTION! Build a great huge automatic wool farm! Conveyors, Autonomous Activators, and a bunch of spare knives will last a good long while! You could also do it with birds, without needing knives, but you'll kill your birds real fast. Your choice. Build a factory for smelting (TFC-style) your soft metals - ItemDucts can help but their filtering is simple (you'll still save a ton of time!), or build a factory for smelting (TCON-style) and there's one particular material you can massively exploit, but there's a drawback... Your TCON tools? They level! Good luck getting the nether materials...you'll need to be prepared for battle! *TCON weapons will do exactly shit against mobs. Don't bother trying. MFR supports a lot of mods, but it doesn't support TFC crops. Sorry. It's mostly here for decorative blocks and power generation. InfernalMobs let me do a few things (like controlling mob drops in a limited way, and assigning base mob health) so I've added a nice rewarding SURPRISE with it (two, actually...) but BE CAREFUL they will WRECK YOU if you're sloppy. They'll probably wreck you if you're MLG PRO. Basically, it's TFC plus some mods to add decorative/support stuff? Have a blast, make continent-spanning factories, farms, mob traps, whatever. But at least try it out?

You will need bronze or BETTER tools to harvest any TFC ore. This is where IguanaTweaks comes into play (if you prefer to use TCON's tools, anyway), even if leveling the tools has been ridiculously nerfed. Seriously, a copper pick and the proper mob head is your best bet here if you want to stick to TCON's tools. Thermal Expansion allows the creation of steel (in its induction smelter) which then works in the TCON smeltery to make tools from. Also, the Cyclic Assembler (it CAN be gotten, and good luck) may sound like a good idea for automatically combining food...but it doesn't work. You'll end up with 0-weight food that disappears when you try to eat it. Natura's food (barley) does basically nothing. Mostly it's in for the cotton. Tinker's Construct tools may act weird (mattocks do not till TFC dirt, hatchets don't work with TFC trees) with some things. The heart canisters are next to useless, but if you CAN make them, feel free to. The KNAPSACK is outclassed (but still make one, it's more inventory room!) by BetterStorage's backpack. If you're making the smeltery, Clay Buckets can hold lava ONCE, then they disappear when you pour it. Pour carefully, now! BetterStorage's crates don't work properly with itemducts (or hoppers) - and I wouldn't try to use the Ender Backpack (or an Ender Chest) on principle. NEI is included because I've had to use Minetweaker/Modtweaker to make some really rough-shod recipe alterations. Especially now that the crafting table can't be gotten as an item to craft other specific things with. I offered you a way around this, try to find it! MFR's grinder/slaughterhouse work properly on TFC mobs - much to my surprise, they required zero extra work! STORING all those mob drops, now... And VERY IMPORTANTLY if you actually read the first Tinker's Construct book DO NOT attempt to go past the page with Punji Sticks. As far as I can tell, books 2 and 3 don't make the game crash.
