BotanicalMachinery-Reforged
Automating Botania has become simpler and more efficient thanks to the updated version of this mod.
This is a community-maintained fork that offers numerous improvements and modern integrations for a more comfortable gaming experience.
Main Innovations
The mod has received significant improvements in working with Applied Energistics 2. Devices now automatically output items into the AE2 system through adjacent interfaces or import buses. This feature works well with other item transport systems.
Block names, translations, and metadata have also been updated, making interaction with the mod more intuitive.
Functional Capabilities
The mod adds several specialized mechanisms for automating various aspects of Botania:
- Alfheim Market - compact block for trading with elves
- Industrial Agglomeration Factory - creating terrasteel without the classic platform
- Mechanical Mana Pool - mana storage and infusion with catalyst support through the interface
- Mechanical Runic Altar - automatic rune creation with hopper and pipe support
- Mechanical Daisy - processing up to 8 blocks simultaneously with fluid support
- Mechanical Brewery - accepts mana from sparks and automates potion brewing
- Mechanical Apothecary - creating flowers from water, seeds, and ingredients
- Mana Battery - massive mana storage with tablet support
All mechanisms are designed for automation and easily integrate with common transport systems.

Getting Started
To use the mechanisms:
- Place the device and supply it with mana and items according to recipes in JEI/EMI

- Use standard hoppers and pipes for classic automation
Most mechanisms support standard item and fluid handling capabilities, simplifying automation.
