Welcome, research associate, to the Villager INC protocol. Please ignore any tears in the fabric of space...

Villager INC - Genesis is a technology and resource based mod which grants the player a way of obtaining power, plastic and increased ore production with minimal work in an early-game scenario. As well as incorporating a range of different machines, plants, tools and blocks, this mod also serves as a dependency library for other Villager INC mods. Everything you need to start an adventure into the efficient world of Minecraft technology-mods is contained inside this quirky package, plus a whole lot more.

Features:

Plants and Crops

Slimy Reeds can be found growing in plains, jungles, and upon hills. When cultivated, you can smelt their reeds to extract slime!
Rubber Trees are scattered across the plains and forests of the world. Their logs seep a sticky sap which can be combined with clay to craft plastic ingots.
Rubber Reeds are a more efficient way of amassing rubber. Their reeds have a chance to drop rubber putty when broken, which can be smelted into plastic ingots. You can craft them from rubber tree saplings and materials.

Resources

Rubber Putty is used to derived plastic ingots from rubber reeds using a furnace.
Plastic Ingots are your primary crafting material in this mod! You'll need large quantities of these to construct the vast number of machines available to you.
Enrichium is an advanced alloy used to craft specialised machines and tools. It can be manufactured in either Liquid or Ingot form.
Quartz Crystals are a rare gem used in powerful machines, more often found in their shattered form; Quartz Shards. You'll need to obtain these from Rock Crystal Ore and Deepslate Rock Crystal Ore, and craft them into crystals.

Power Generators

Batteries store Forge Energy produced by power generators. Mining and picking up batteries gives you a deployable item which preserves the power stored in the battery.
Encased Wire Blocks can be used to transfer power between your machines. Wires receive power from any side, but only output through their orange port!
The Furnace Generator produces energy from burning fuels.
The Thermal Generator passively produces energy when placed above a heat source, such as campfires, magma, or lava.
The Hydro Generator passively produces energy when placed below a wet block, such as water or ice.
The Enrichium Generator generates large amounts of power from consuming liquid enrichium.
Solar Panels & Lunar Panels can be used to generate energy when exposed to the sun or the moon. There are 4 tiers of each type, producing increasingly more power.

Machines

Extractors & Energised Extractors will slowly extract ore from ore blocks below them. The Extractor requires Forge Energy to operate, while the Energised Extractor requires both Forge Energy and Liquid Enrichium. These machines will produce infinite materials while there's space in their inventories.
The Refinery is used to manufacture enrichium. When provided with Forge Energy, coal, and iron, the machine can be set to generate either Enrichium Ingots or Liquid Enrichium.
The Crystalline Tumbler increases the amount of quartz chards obtained from Crystal Rock Ore and Deepslate Crystal Rock Ore. It requires Forge Energy to operate.

Tools and Items

Plastic Shears are a cheaper long-lasting alternative to regular shears
The Enriched Paxel and Sword, and the Slimy Paxel and Sword, are new tool and weapon types which provide an improvement upon iron and diamond tools.
