A technic mod with energy production, machinery and more!

# Novaris

**A standalone tech mod for NeoForge: power from sun, wind, steam and uranium, parallel-lane machines, cable networks, a full metal line and a clean, modern interface.**

Novaris needs nothing but NeoForge. Every block speaks the standard FE, item and fluid capabilities, so it works with the cables, pipes and machines of other mods.

## ⚡ Power

| Source | Output |

|---|---|

| Solar Array | 40 FE/t at noon (always faces south) |

| Solar Tracker | 160 FE/t all day, turns and tilts with the sun |

| Wind Turbines (small / normal / large / huge) | up to 192 / 480 / 1,200 / 3,000 FE/t, more the higher they stand |

| Combustion Generator | 40 FE/t from any furnace fuel |

| Steam Turbine (multiblock) | 2,000 FE/t per rotor, up to 250,000 FE/t |

| Nuclear Reactor (multiblock) | 200 mB steam/t per fuel rod (800 FE/t in a turbine) |

**Steam:** a Water Intake pumps endless water, the Combustion Boiler or the Nuclear Reactor turns it into steam, and the Steam Turbine (3x3x3 to 7x7x7) turns steam into FE.

**Nuclear Reactor:** uranium fuel cells, water cooling, adjustable burn rate, redstone control and an automatic emergency shutdown at 1,000 °C (no explosions). Spent cells are crushed back into uranium.

## 🔋 Storage and cables

- **Energy Cells** (1 M / 4 M / 16 M FE) look like big batteries with a live charge gauge. The menu shows the charge, the net flow in FE/t and the time until full or empty. Settings: side modes, push to outputs, redstone, tier slot.

- **Energy Accumulator** multiblock: 4 M FE plus 16 M per cell inside.

- **Energy cables** (1,000 / 4,000 / 16,000 FE/t) form networks that feed machines first and store only the surplus.

- **Item cable** with per-side mode, redstone and whitelist / blacklist; items go to the nearest inventory first.

- **Fluid cable** for water, steam and any other fluid (16,000 mB/t).

- Cell and cable **upgrade items** upgrade placed blocks in place, a whole cable line at once.

## 🏭 Machines

- **Furnace, Crusher, Alloy Forge** with 3 / 5 / 7 parallel lanes (expansion kits), auto-sort, auto-eject, per-side configuration in a 3D view, item filter, redstone and speed / energy / muffling upgrades.

- **Quarry** with speed, energy and range upgrades (up to 41x41), silk touch and redstone control.

- **Cobblestone Generator** and **Item Collector**.

## 🖥️ Interface

Every Novaris menu shares one dark, modern look, drawn in code so it stays crisp at any GUI scale.

- **Side tabs** like in the big tech mods: settings, a redstone tab (gunpowder = ignored, redstone = active with signal, torch = active without signal) and a slide-out **info panel** with status, power use, lanes and the effect of your upgrades.

- **Live numbers:** energy tooltips show fill level, net flow in FE/t and the time until full or empty; tanks show the real water and steam textures.

- **Coloured slots:** blue inputs, orange outputs, green charge, red discharge, purple upgrades; empty slots show what belongs in them.

- **Switches** for auto-sort, eject, redstone, filter, push and silk touch show their state at a glance.

- **Side colours legend** next to the 3D side view.

## ⛏️ Metals and gear

- Osmium, tin, lead, silver, nickel, platinum, aluminum, uranium, cryonite and pyrelume: ore, raw ore, ingot, nugget, dust and block, plus alloys.

- Ores drop raw ore like vanilla; ore heights and rarity follow the usual tech-mod values.

- **Aurorite** tools and 3D armor, the rechargeable **Multitool** (pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe and sword in one) and the **Wrench**.

## 🔗 Compatibility

- Common `c:` tags for every metal. With **All The Ores** installed, its ores are used and the shared metals are not generated twice.

- **JEI** (optional) shows the crusher and alloy forge recipes and info pages for the multiblocks. Click a machine's progress arrows to see its recipes, or a generator's flame to see the fuels; JEI's overlays stay clear of the side tabs.

## 📖 Handbook

Every player gets the handbook on first join: 15 chapters with turning 3D models, multiblocks shown layer by layer, and a catalogue of every item and block.
