Botanical Machinery
We all know that Botania is a technical mod. Or is it magical? Technical? Magical? In any case, it's a unique mod with a mana system, mystical flowers, elves, and Gaia. Sometimes automating all processes in Botania can be challenging or tedious, which gives the mod its special magical atmosphere.
The Botanical Machinery mod will help you automate almost all aspects of Botania. Unlike the traditional Botania approach, this mod adds numerous mechanical devices. Which ones exactly? Find out below!
Here you can see all available machines. We'll tell you more about each of them in the corresponding sections. The mana battery is shown in combination with other devices in the last image at the bottom.
Alfheim Market
Show
This block contains a miniature version of a portal to Alfheim. It allows trading with elves without the need to build a huge portal. Just be careful — don't put bread inside...
Industrial Agglomeration Factory
Show
Usually, the agglomeration plate requires a stabilizing platform underneath it. With this device, that requirement disappears. This machine is little known to ordinary botanists, so it's worth trying!
Mechanical Mana Pool
Show
Like a regular mana pool, this one can store a significant amount of mana. It's also capable of mana infusion. As with other pools, you can use catalysts, but here they need to be placed in the device's inventory rather than positioned underneath it.
Mechanical Runic Altar
Show
This device allows you to create runes much more easily. Essentially, it's a regular runic altar that can be automated using hoppers.
Mechanical Daisy
Show
By placing a Floating Pure Daisy on a platform made of elementium, you can process 8 blocks simultaneously in the space of just one block. The device also works with fluids.
Mechanical Brewery
Show
An improved version of the Botanical Brewery that receives mana from sparks and allows easy automation of potion creation.
Mechanical Apothecary
Show
An improved version of the Apothecary that uses water, seeds, and ingredients to create any flowers you desire.
All machines are compatible with other mods. You can automate everything with Refined Storage or Applied Energistics.
