Technic

A mod for minetest

Overview

The technic modpack extends the Minetest game with many new elements, mainly constructable machines and tools. It is a large modpack, and tends to dominate gameplay when it is used. This manual describes how to use the technic modpack, mainly from a player's perspective.

The technic modpack depends on some other modpacks:

the basic Minetest game
mesecons, which supports the construction of logic systems based on signalling elements
pipeworks, which supports the automation of item transport
moreores, which provides some additional ore types
basic_materials, which provides some basic craft items

This manual doesn't explain how to use these other modpacks, which have their own manuals:

Recipes for constructable items in technic are generally not guessable, and are also not specifically documented here. You should use a craft guide mod to look up the recipes in-game. For the best possible guidance, use the unified_inventory mod, with which technic registers its specialised recipe types.
