Welcome To Advanced Utilities. If you have a bug please go the the issue tracker on github. Check the github
This release is the wrapping up of the Bronze Age. All bug reports are welcome.

To start you will want to go mining for coal, cobblestone, copper, tin, zinc and iron. Also search for some clay it is vital.

Then make both a kiln and a smeltry and get started making all the basic casts in the smeltry. Stone tools for the tool parts, sticks for the rod and stone crafted items for the rest.

Now make some bronze and brass in the kiln. A bucket will also be super useful.

Next up get some bronze plates and brass rivets going in the smeltry. They take one minute each to make so you might want multiple smeltries. Smeltries use one peice of coal for each item made.

With some bronze plates and brass rivets make a steam boiler and a steam crusher to get ore doubling going.
This would be a good time to make running shoes. The are really nice for moving around.

Using the smeltry make some bronze tools and a sword. Hammer, pick, shovel, and sword are good. Hammers require 8 bronze or iron ingots to make.

Next both a steam smeltry and a steam furnace are helpful in getting the materials going faster.

Now that materials are going good it is a good time to make some gear. First make a steam charger.

Now you can make and charge pnumatic guns, jetpacks, and jackhammers.
It might also be a good time to make a rebreather to help with the food draing from the running shoes.

The last thing available is to create steel tools and a steel quarry. Steel is made in the Steel oven. It can then be used to make tools and a quarry.

Right now thats about all, install some other mods! Advanced Utillites should have any ores that another mod takes and all are OreDictionary.

Hope you enjoy. No updates past 1.7 are planned as I do not have the time to redo all the models for any newer releases.
