PolyFactory is a Fabric Server Side modification created by Patbox, which adds new items, blocks and mechanics associated with tech mods.

Main goal of this mod was to provide a semi-advanced tech mod that can be played by installing it purely on the server without players having to do anything extra to play with it.

This mod was inspired by likes of Better Than Wolves and Create, but also many ideas from other classical tech mods.

Gameplay

By default, the mod doesn't change anything about the world or player's gameplay experience, until they start crafting machines and items provided by this mod.

Player start with the mod by crafting the Grinder which allows them to get Coal Dust, which then can be mixed with Redstone and Iron Ingot to create Steel Alloy Mixture. From there, player can smelt Steel Ingots and start crafting other items and blocks from the mod with usage of Mechanical Mixer and Mechanical Press. Items can be moved around with usage of Item Conveyors, sorted with Funnels and Item Splitters and then stored in a Wooden Containers or any other compatible/vanilla form of item storage.

To power most of the machines the player needs to use a Hand Crank for initial machines, Windmills for later automation or Steam Engine in case where speed and power is required (or it's in place which lacks strong enough winds).

Player then can use things like Cables, Data Sources and blocks manipulating/displaying data to allow for more automation or general display information.

By default, PolyFactory doesn't display any recipes. To view them, you need to use the Polydex mod.
