nice automation mod
This mod is an update of the old basic_machines mod with bugfixes and texture changes. If you want a simple yet powerful automation mod instead of techpack or technic+pipeworks this works well for that.
For Pro Engineers only.
No instructions for use. The junk in-game help is a joke and the web pages are a laugh. Maybe if you studied Engineering they'd be worth something. For the rest of us it's a waste of time.
Addendum. I looked through the code for the grinder and the costs to double your diamonds are far more than the worth of the diamonds. To wit: You need to have stacks and stacks of mese/diamonds to be able to upgrade the battery and grinder to a level where it can actually grind diamonds. Unlike the technic grinder this one will not make you rich, it first requires you to be rich as Croesus in order to work. N.B. There is a alternate way to work the grinder using coal (or some burnable) as power instead of the battery. You need to add the fuel (at most 1 per second) to the fuel slot slowly until the grinder grinds. 16 coal for mithril/diamond btw. Then you need to add some organic materials (blue flowers/wheat/cotton etc.) to the dust and smelt it 3 times. Mithril takes 27 minutes (per smelt I think) to cook. Diamond 18. The cost in furnace fuel is high. If you're already sitting on stacks of coal blocks you're all set. :) The one advantage this has over the technic grinder is significant though. It's infinitely repeatable not a one time deal (and works on mese/diamonds to boot). But by the time you can practically set this up you won't even want diamonds or mese anymore. Catch 22.
