Cogs & Carrots

# Cogs & Carrots

You start with dirt under your fingernails and a handful of seeds.
You end with a factory that harvests, processes, and builds — powered by the land itself.

That's the promise of **Cogs & Carrots**: a modpack where the farm and the machine were always meant to work together.

## Two Paths. One Journey.

Most tech packs treat farming as an afterthought. Most farming packs treat machines as optional. **Cogs & Carrots** is built around both — equally, intentionally, and by design.

**The Cogs Path** pulls you toward rotating shafts, assembly lines, and chemical refineries. Copper contraptions give way to industrial machinery, then to precision automation that can build almost anything without you lifting a finger.

**The Carrots Path** keeps you rooted. Passive crop cultivation, bee breeding, fishing, and nature's own rhythms form the resource backbone of your operation. The land feeds the machine. The machine serves the land.

Both paths converge at endgame — a fully automated factory that grows its own inputs. Neither side works as well without the other.

## A Guided Adventure

Cogs & Carrots ships with **16 quest chapters** built in FTB Quests, carrying you from your first planted row through the chemical age, the arcane workshop, other dimensions, and beyond. You're never left guessing what comes next.

> *Getting Started → The Carrot → Cogs and Gears → Bloom and Grow → Forged in Silence → The Birds and the Bees → Arcane Workshop → Reel It In → Wire the World → Organize Everything → Chemical Age → Other Dimensions → The Dark Arts → Full Automation → Master Builder → Silent Gear*

Each chapter is a milestone, not a checklist.
