Immersive Engineering is a tech mod with a certain charm, based on the ideas and concepts, and with most assets created by Damien Hazard.
Overall, it's about realism-inspired technology:
Instead of glowing red tubes, it offers actual, hanging powerlines.
Instead of one block that magically spits out dusts when ore is put in, it offers a crusher, a big multiblock (5x3x3) that features rotating wheels and spits out particles as it breaks the ore.
Instead of a Laser that turns power into magical light and ores, it offers an Excavator, another massive, resource intensive, multiblock (3x7x8) which digs ores out of the ground with a big rotating bucketwheel.
IE is about making tech mods more balanced and more pretty, and adding its own twist by going for retro-futurism (think BioShock, Order 1886, SkyCaptain and the World of Tomorrow) rather than clinical white+grey future cubes.
It uses the RedstoneFlux API, known from RF Tools, BuildCraft, EnderIO and many other mods, but can be played fully standalone. Unlike other mods, IE does not use powertransfer via lanes of blocks, but instead via cables spanned between connectors.
The mod features Power Generation in forms of waterwheels, windmills, biodiesel and more and many of its machines are multiblocks!
For all your documentation needs, you should look into this mods ingame documentation, the Engineer's Manual, crafted with a book and a lever.

Quick question: Is it intentional that grits don't give experience when smelted (even in the vanilla furnaces) and that the Arc Furnace doesn't give experience for grit or ore smelting? On consideration, I suppose there's the possibility of an infinite experience loop (by tossing ingots back into the crusher so that the grit can be smelted again), which would be a problem on multiplayer servers. But it would be nice if it were an option in the server config to enable grit-smelting experience. And smelting ores directly in the Arc Furnace isn't subject to that exploit issue. I suppose there's an argument to be made that you're trading off experience for ore-doubling.
At any rate, if this is intentional behavior then I respect your creative intent. But I wanted to check, and if it's not then I'll fill out a bug report.
Hi, you mod don't work with new Forge 34.1.34
In reply to fallen_denica:
Yep. We know. Downgrade to 34.1.25.
how do you make hemp fibers? i know you need the seeds but i can't figure out how to get fibers from that
In reply to ThatsGye:
Grow a hemp plant. Fibers drop when you break it.
I was messing around with the Survey Tools earlier, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to make them work. Specifically, that you have to hold the "use" key for several seconds before something will happen. The in-game manual is a bit vague about how you actually use the tools, and the FTB wikis on IE don't mention the Survey Tools at all. I think I was particularly thrown off because the message about unsuitable blocks to survey shows up immediately on clicking, but using the tool on proper blocks takes several seconds, even waiting a bit after the "zoom" animation stops, and there's no other indication that something is actually happening in the meantime.
For me at least, I think a small note in the in-game manual would have fixed this misunderstanding pretty easily. If the Survey Tools entry, instead of "...using these tools on blocks...", said something like "...using these tools on blocks (click and hold)...", it would be a lot more intuitive. I know that most of the manual is written in a more immersive style, but at least for me it would have been a lot clearer and saved me about 20 minutes of faffing about with outdated wikis and wildly clicking on things.
Incidentally, I love what you've done with the mineral resources. It feels a lot more immersive (and a bit less tedious) to have veins that center on an area and can be roughly found without having to drill holes in every single chunk. Also being able to place the core samples in the world is a fun touch.
In reply to zimboptoo:
Thanks for the input, I can look into adjusting that text a little!
As for the Wiki however: don't use the FTB wiki. It is horrendously out of date and does not at all represent the current state of IE. The manual is the only trusted source on the mod.
Hello,
I'm a new player of modded minecraft and I made my own modpack in 1.15.2 with IE and Mystical Agriculture and I was thinking about growing seeds of MA in a garden cloche but apparently it doesn't work . Did I do something wrong while making my modpack , do I need a config file or is there something that can maybe make it work ?
In reply to iSkylloZ:
We do not offer native support for Mystical Agriculture. You can add your own cloche recipes with a datapack. All our machines have JSON recipes, just like vanilla.
Hello,
I have an issue when I try to connect to my server, everything was fine when I disconnected last night.
Now I have the following issue that crash my game:
When I look into the report, I can find this:
Any solution ?

I am new here, so apologies if this is the wrong place for this post.
I am currently stuck and can't progress with immersive engineering on Valhelsia 3, when I started playing in my solo world I started playing through Mekanism, was my first time playing through it but also want to do some Immersive engineering since I love this mod and play it everytime I try some new packs.
The issue I am having is that I can't get Immersive Engineering steel, all the steel that I am getting from the Blast Furnace has Mekanism as it's tag and I need 1 ingot to craft a Block of Steel according to my recipe(which is 8 Mekanism steel and 1 Immersive engineering steel in the middle) for the Excavator. The only why it tells me to get steel is to melt steel dust in the Arc Furnace, but to build the Arc Furnace I need Blocks of Steel as well, I tried using just a Steel Block instead but that didn't work. There a way around this? Or is it just me having this problem?
Sorry for the long message and thank you for your time.
In reply to MindTheGaming:
Mekanism Steel Blocks can be used to build Multiblocks. If your structure didn't form, you probably just built it wrong. Please refer to the manual for the correct way to build the multiblocks, and do not use any Wiki pages. The FTB wiki is horribly outdated and is not a reliable source for information on IE.
In reply to BluSunrize:
Thank you, you were right, I had the wheel wrong, I struggled for 2 days with this and as I made the post I saw the problem, sorry about that, thanks for the reply
I might be having personal issues, but when I crafted the windmill and placed it down, the model didn't show up. It was just an invisible block with a hitbox and everything. I'm using the most recent version of the 1.15.2 mod version you have posted.
In reply to xpicklemanx99:
You're using Optifine.This is an Optifine issue. If you had looked through these comments beforehand, you'd already be aware of how to fix that.
In reply to BluSunrize:
Turning off VBO is not fixing it.

Hey, love the updated mod pack, But im wondering if mystical Agriculture seeds will end up working with the garden Cloche?? Because i love the slower grow rate and having a bunch of these in place of fields of a plants.
In reply to InfiniteHeroGaming:
No, we are not adding native support for Agriculture. I think the mod is incredibly overpowered in a survival environment. It serves its purpose for Skyblocks and other challenge maps, but in those cases, the modpack developers can add their own recipes with a Datapack.
