NewTech Industrial (NTI)

NewTech Industrial (NTI) is a high-performance technical mod designed for Minecraft 1.12.2. It focuses on stable machine logic, clean energy/fluid management, and deep integration options for both server administrators and modpack creators.

Developed with a focus on stability, clean UI, and server-side utility, NTI provides everything you need to build advanced technological bases, automate resource processing, and manage cross-dimensional logistics.

⚙️ The Industrial Machine Catalog

NTI features a specialized fleet of industrial hardware, fully supportable by the Service Wrench for 6-directional rotation. All machines feature real-time Transfer/Flow tracking (exact FE/t and mB/t) directly in the GUI.

Machine	Primary Function
Electric Furnace	High-efficiency smelting with dual-line processing.
Macerator	Grinds ores into dust to maximize resource output.
Compressor	Compresses materials into dense industrial components.
Alloy Smelter	Fuses multiple metals into advanced technological alloys.
Molecular Combiner	Assembles complex molecules for high-tier crafting.
Peaceful Grinder	Extracts mob drops using weapons without player combat.
Electric Pump	Intelligent fluid extraction with Heavy Water and filter support.
Matter Replicator	Uses patterns and catalysts to replicate rare resources.
Matter Generator	Converts scrap and energy into high-value Red Matter.
Capacitors	Large-scale buffers for Energy (FE/RF) and Fluids.

🔋 Upgrade System

Each machine features 3 dedicated slots for standardized upgrades:

Speed Upgrade: Increases processing speed (at a higher energy cost).
Efficiency Upgrade: Reduces energy consumption per operation.
Capacity Upgrade: Expands internal energy buffers and fluid tank sizes.

🌌 The Quantum Era: Logistics & Elevation

Say goodbye to endless lines of pipes and cables. NTI introduces the ultimate end-game wireless systems:

The Ender Network (Quantum Transceivers): Transfer resources wirelessly across any dimension! Create your own network frequencies using NTI Crystals. Includes built-in Public/Private security settings.
- Item Transceiver: Instantly teleport items.
- Fluid Transceiver: Wireless routing with a massive 64,000 mB internal buffer.
- Energy Transceiver: Power your off-grid bases with wireless Forge Energy (FE/RF).
Quantum Elevators (7 Colors): Vertical travel just got a massive upgrade. Seamlessly teleport between Quantum Elevators of matching colors. They completely ignore blocks in their path, allowing you to build ceilings, run cables, or place pipes directly between floors without obstructing teleportation!

⚓ Server-Safe Chunk Loading (Quantum Anchors)

A highly optimized, server-friendly chunk loader that keeps a 3x3 chunk area active while you are offline.

Fuel-Powered & Configurable: Requires fuel (e.g., Ender Pearls). Server admins can fully customize accepted fuels and durations via chunkloader_fuels.json. Placing an Anchor tells the player exactly what fuels are accepted in the chat!
TPS Protection: Hard-coded limit of 3 Anchors per player. Placing a 4th safely drops the item.
Quantum Network Administration Tablet (OPs Only): A game-changer for Admins. A sleek, full-screen UI that tracks every Quantum Anchor on the server. See coordinates, dimensions, remaining fuel, and owners. Features remote [TP], [PWR] (Pause/Resume), and safe [DEL] (destroys the block and safely drops fuel) capabilities.

⚔️ Infinite Quantum Tools

The ultimate end-game toolset: Quantum Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe, and Sword.

Infinite Durability: Powered by Sunnarium and Quantum Crystals, these tools never break.
Automation Ready: Engineered with a "silent override" system, making them 100% compatible with fake-player machines from other mods (like the EnderIO Farming Station or automated mob grinders). Say goodbye to replacing broken tools in your farms!

📦 Massive Industrial Storage

Need more space than a double chest? Upgrade to a new tier system of massive, single-block high-capacity containers:

Blue: 9x5 Inventory (45 Slots)
Green: 9x6 Inventory (54 Slots)
Red: 9x7 Inventory (63 Slots)
White: 9x8 Inventory (72 Slots)
Black: 9x9 Inventory (81 Slots - the ultimate storage!)

🎨 Aesthetics & Design

HexCraft Inspiration: A variety of built-in decorative blocks and glowing NTI Lamps (that actually light up surroundings) inspired by the classic HexCraft style.
Essential Resources: A curated set of ores and items necessary for modern industrial progression.
41 Icon Items: Dedicated dummy items specifically included to serve as a visual foundation for server administrators to build GUI-based plugins (e.g., DeluxeMenus), ensuring a professional look for server shops and menus.

🛠 Modpack Integration & Admin Notes

JEI & CraftTweaker: Full Just Enough Items support. NTI highly recommends CraftTweaker to balance item progression and modify default recipes.
Recipe System (inputCount): NTI supports precise stack size requirements (e.g., 3 items for 1 output) via JSON configs. (Note: If updating from older versions, custom .json machine recipes must be updated to include the "inputCount" field).
Forge Chunk Loading Config: NTI perfectly respects Forge's native ticket limits. We recommend adding this to your forgeChunkLoading.cfg:

Properties

newtechindustrial {
    # Our Quantum Anchor loads a 3x3 area, so minimum is 9.
    I:maximumChunksPerTicket=9
    # Total active Anchors allowed server-wide (3 per player * expected active players).
    I:maximumTicketCount=200
}

📖 The NewTech Family

NewTech Industrial Mod is the successor to the original NewTech mod. Development is currently focused on NewTech Industrial and NewTech Generators.

SkyTech AutoSieve will also join the collection, complementing 1.12.2 modpacks. It focuses on Manual and Automatic Sieves (RF-powered), offering gameplay inspired by ExAstris 1.7.10, but without unnecessary bloat or performance issues.
