Industrial Craft 2 is a fairly large and old technical modification that introduces new mechanics in Minecraft - energy (EU - Energy United).
It will be needed for mastering a very large list of mechanisms: Crasher, electric furnace, compressor and so on. There are two types of its production: either use consumable energy sources: Generator, steam generator, nuclear reactor, or non-consumable (eco-friendly): Solar panel, wind generator, hydro generator.
Energy can also be stored using energy storage, which is primitive to craft, or MFE (MFSU), which requires a vast amount of resources but will be worth it. Each type differs in energy capacity and its output from the so-called “energy warehouse”.
Where should we start?
First, you need to find a rubber tree sapling, which will be distinguished by its “top” (the foliage will be 2-3 blocks high).
What’s next? We craft a tap and look for a place where latex accumulates (an orange spot) and right-click on it. When melting such latex, we will be able to obtain rubber, which is one of the important items in IndustrialCraft 2.
Next, we need to make a hammer. Its function includes creating plates and casings. Then we make cutters, which will allow us to create wires from plates. The basic elements of each mechanism are casing. There are two types: Basic and Advanced.
The Basic one is used in simple mechanisms, while the Advanced one is applied in the creation of expensive but very valuable mechanisms, from a simple advanced drill to a terraformer.
Now let's take a detailed look at the mechanisms:
Crasher - Crushes ore into 2 crushed pieces.
Consumption - 2 eu/t.
Electric furnace - Smelts faster than a vanilla furnace by 23%.
Consumption - 3 eu/t.
Compressor - Compresses any type of materials into plates, composites, or carbon fiber.
Consumption - 2 eu/t.
Extractor - Produces rubber from latex at a ratio of 1 to 3
(1 latex = 3 rubber).
Consumption 2 eu/t.
Metal-processor - Needed for creating:
wires, plates, casings.
Consumption 10 eu/t.
Using and generating matter.
To produce matter, you will need a matter generator. It creates 1mb of matter
using: 1,000,000 eu.
To use matter, blocks such as:
Scanner - Scans resources (items), thus creating a template for Template Storage.
Consumption - 256 eu/t.
Template Storage - Stores 20 possible templates and can accept templates recorded on a memory crystal.
Consumption - none.
Replicator - Used for the production of (resource - item) from templates. A Template Storage should be nearby.
Consumption - 512 eu/t.
Ores:
Copper ore - Generates from height 10 to height 70. Vein -
1-15 ore. It will be the basis for crafting
copper wires and bronze ingots.
Tin ore - Generates from height 1 to height 50. Vein -
1-10 ore. Needed for crafting batteries and capsules.
Lead ore - Generates from height 1 to height 64. Vein -
1-4 ore. Used for crafting -
Nuclear reactor.
Uranium ore - Generates from height 1 to height 80. Vein -
1-4 ore. Necessary for crafting -
enriched uranium.
Upgrades:
‘Accelerator’ upgrade - It speeds up the operation of any mechanism by
30%, but at the same time increases the consumption of the mechanisms by
60%. The number of accelerators can be increased, but energy consumption will rise.
‘Energy storage’ upgrade - Increases the energy capacity of the mechanism,
one upgrade increases the energy capacity by 10,000 eu.
‘Pusher’ upgrade - Pushes resources from the mechanism into the nearest storage next to it.
‘Liquid pusher’ upgrade - Pushes liquid,
from the mechanisms into the adjacent storage. Uses eu.
Armor:
Nano-Armor - Absorbs damage.
Nano-helmet - Has built-in night vision, activated using Alt key + Mode Switch Key.
Charges in MFE or MFSU.
Quantum helmet - Allows the owner to breathe underwater (consumes energy).
Will prevent the player from dying of hunger (when cans are present in the inventory).
Has the functionality of the Nano-helmet.
Quantum chestplate - Absorbs a huge amount of damage.
Quantum leggings - Increases the player's running speed by 4 times.
Quantum boots - Will prevent death from falling from great heights.
They also allow for high jumps.
A full set of Quantum Armor neutralizes all negative effects.
