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.

I have this idea that I think that is bad because of how generic and difficult it is to apply, so PLEASE DON'T TRY TO APPLY IT!!!!
I'm sharing it here just because I'm curious about everybody's reaction to it and maybe learn about how to make it a better concept true some discussion.
I'm basically wondering if would be funny to shoot the various types of ammo that the revolver can shot on a machinegun!!!
Maybe it could be an SMG (like for example a Thompson, more specifically the WW2 model) since we are talking about something that shoots pistol ammo.
Heres some images of the gun that I take as inspiration.
One of the problems of this concept is how the gun will interact whit the various revolver cartridges. Maybe the magazine could behave like some kind of chamber whit 27 slots that accept 1 bullet and the spare magazines could behave like some kind of speed loader whit 27 slots for ammo.
Or it could be done through a harder way, by making something completely new. Like each spare magazine can only be filled up whit 1 kind of ammo, that I'm not sure how it could be at 100%.
Maybe each magazine could be an object that you can only carry 1 per slot and have an Interface whit 1 slot where you put the ammo and somehow it consumes ammo from that slot automatically until there's no more ammo there or until the mag is completely field of that ammo, and a button to eject all remaining bullets left inside that thing into your inventory. (The same way the revolver ejects the remaining shells when it uses a speedloader)
This bereavement of ammo management could be built-in on the gun it shelf.
If the gun has some kind of custom made magazine system, you could the make it relatively easy for each mag to carry more than 27 cartridges or even make various types of mags whit different sizes! (Like for example, the gun could accept an upgrade that allows it to consume a drum magazine instead of normal ones)
Or simply the magazines that are being consumed could be transferred to a single slot on the weapon interface and replaced by a full one automatically.
The gun obviously will shot at machine gun kind of fire-rate, and could even accept an upgrade that increases the fire-rate from about 600 rounds per minute to (maybe) 900 rounds per minute.
While the gun is being fired it could inject the empty casings (empty shotgun shells or other thing depending on the ammo kind that you are consuming) directly to the user's inventory. Since it is a machine gun, to prevent it from being too overpowered, each projectile could be shot at only 75% of its damage.
(Hen compared to the revolve damage per shot)
It also could cost more than the revolver in terms of price in the number of materials (not the variety of them).
It could be crafted by using a medium barrel made of 3 revolver barrels, the chamber that is made out of maybe aluminum or iron and steel springs made of some steel wire (3 stell wire= 1 spring), maybe a standard empty magazine (made of iron or aluminium plates and a steel spring at the center bottom of the crafting grid) and a wooden grip.
( recipe is not explained by other, the ingredients are just Ideas that I had as I wrote this text)
I hope this isn't abusing :P
If you read this text completely, thanks a lot for your dedication and sacrifice :D
What can I use to store energy from the windmill

A capacitor. Read the manual.
Hello, My friend and I want to play together on a server with this mod but the screen is put in the lower left shearing, we tried different versions of minecraft to see only worked in version 1.10.2 with a version that you patched could give us an equal version for the:
ImmersiveEngineering-0.12-89.jar.
Note:The patched version is found in this post
https://github.com/BluSunrize/ImmersiveEngineering/issues/2107
In reply to kanel_lan:
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for. But from the sound of it, you want the content of 1.12 released for 1.10? The answer to that is "no".
Hemp seeds aren't dropping, and I have broken about 50 or more grass.
Currently I have problem with assembler . I am using Forge mod 1.12.2 , IE version 0.12-89. The problem is I can not put the LV connector to the RF input in the top of Assembler. I use the right-click mouse. But it always display the GUI of Assemler. I have the same problem with Industrial Squeezer.
In reply to taranistrainer:
Try sneaking and right-clicking.
In reply to BluSunrize:
Thanks. I have tried and success. But I have one more trouble. I have build industrial squeezer and used it to make silver/gold grit for electrum production. But later I come back and this machine does not make any output when I throw gold ores into it. (It still running, I have replaced another capacitor as well).
In reply to taranistrainer:
The squeezer doesn't process ores. For further help, please file an issue on the tracker or hop onto the discord. We'll need pictures of your setup to help you further.
In reply to BluSunrize:
thanks for feedback . I just build a brand new crusher. I have connect it to the LV capacitor. I use voltmeter to measure the stored energy it display 32,000 flux. But there is no animation .I have connect the lever to redstone signal position already.
In reply to taranistrainer:
Like I said. Proper report on the issue tracker, with pictures, or I won't be able to help you.

how do i fix crash whenever i break a block?
In reply to theroyalsmg:
File a report on Github, with the crashlog, and I'll happily try to answer that question.
Do we have any idea of when you guys are updating to 1.14?
Quick Question, What is the Low and High end "Caps" to how many blocks of ore are in Mineral Deposits? Perhaps this is a simple set of figures that could be added to the manual as well.
a bunch of the crafting recipes are broken for me and any one help
It would be really great to see some ore duplication options beyond 2x. I really like this mod I'd rather not go about having to heavily configure some other mods to add it in. Especially since they wouldn't have the same cool mods and textures that you guys make.
In reply to Mizhok:
I have no intention to go beyond doubling of ores. Anything more is unnecessary in a normal gameplay experience, imho.
