🇬🇧 English Description

📖 Background & Motivation

Mekanism is a phenomenal technology mod, but as players reach the endgame, building massive processing arrays becomes inevitable. Manually opening the GUI of dozens of machines to insert 8 Speed Upgrades and 8 Energy Upgrades into each one is an incredibly tedious and repetitive task.

Mekanism: Smart Upgrades is a Quality of Life (QoL) add-on designed to completely eliminate this hassle. By introducing smart, batch-operation mechanics and visual previews, it allows you to upgrade your entire factory setup in a single click.

🛑 Requirements & Compatibility

Loader: NeoForge (1.21.1)
Dependencies: Mekanism (Required).
Soft Dependencies: Mekanism Extras (Fully supported, but not required).
Safe to Install/Remove: This mod safely modifies interaction behaviors without altering your save files or adding new blocks/items. It can be added to or removed from existing worlds at any time.

💎 Core Features

1. Batch Upgrade Installation

Simply hold any Mekanism Upgrade (Speed, Energy, Muffling, etc.), Sneak + Right-Click on a machine, and the mod will automatically distribute and install the upgrades to all connected, compatible machines.
It intelligently respects the maximum upgrade limits of each machine, ensuring no items are wasted.

2. Batch Tier Upgrading (Factory Installers)

Tired of upgrading machines to factories one by one? This mod also supports Tier Installers!
Sneak + Right-Click with a Basic/Advanced/Elite/Ultimate Tier Installer to instantly upgrade an entire line of machines to the next tier.

3. Smart Visual Highlights

When holding an upgrade or a tier installer, the mod renders a sleek, transparent bounding box around all machines that will be affected by the batch operation.
Dynamic Colors: The highlight color automatically matches the item you are holding! (e.g., Red for Speed Upgrades, Green for Energy Upgrades, Cyan for Elite Tier Installers).

4. Seamless Add-on Compatibility

Natively supports custom tier installers from add-ons like Mekanism Extras via soft dependency. You can batch-install Absolute or Supreme tier upgrades just as easily, and the highlight colors will dynamically match the exact tier colors defined by the add-on!

通用机械（Mekanism）是一款极具魅力的科技模组。但在游戏后期，玩家往往需要铺设庞大的机器阵列。此时，手动打开几十台机器的 GUI，为每一台机器分别塞入 8 个速度升级和 8 个能量升级，是一项极其枯燥且折磨的工作。

Mekanism: Smart Upgrades（通用机械：智能插件） 是一款专注于改善游戏体验（QoL）的附属模组。它引入了智能的批量操作机制与视觉预览功能，让你只需一次点击，即可完成整条生产线的升级工作，彻底解放双手。
