Mechanimation: Industrial Animated Machinery

WARNING: THIS MOD IS NOT COMPLETELY READY FOR SURVIVAL MODE YET!

Please note: if CB Multipart is not installed, pipes for items, fluids, and energy will not be available - use pipes from other mods (although only Mekanism provides gas pipes). Mechanimation's pipes transport both Forge fluids and Mekanism gases

Mechanimation adds animated machines with realistic mechanical operations to Minecraft. The mod is actively under development and many features are not yet ready for full survival gameplay. While primarily designed to work with Metroid Cubed 4, most mechanisms can substitute similar machines from other mods.

Main Mechanisms

Press Machine

Used for material compression, typically transforming ingots into plates, though it offers additional functions. The animation showcases mechanical compression with detailed motion.

Fluid Reactor

Combines up to 3 fluids and one item to create new materials or liquids. Classical example: hydrogen and oxygen form water.

Electrolyzer

Uses electrical current to separate fluids into constituent elements. For instance, water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen.

Oil Refining Installations

Desalinator - removes salt from crude oil Hydrotreater - purifies naphtha from sulfur impurities Catalytic Reformer - converts purified naphtha into gasoline Distillation Tower - heats oil to separate it into components Merox Treater - removes mercaptans from kerosene to produce rocket fuel Claus Plant - extracts sulfur from hydrogen sulfide

Energy Systems

Stirling Generator - simple mechanism converting heat into electricity Gas Generator - transforms explosion energy into electricity, with different fuels providing varying power levels

Production Stations

Pulverizer - grinds materials, turning ingots into powders Blast Furnace - uses fuel to heat air and smelt metals, including steel from iron. Efficiency increases in hot environments Arc Furnace - advanced version of the blast furnace using electricity instead of combustible fuel Casting Table - molds liquid materials into solid items, works more effectively in cold conditions

Assembly Terminal - multifunctional station for complex crafting

Requires "blueprint" and power to create various items. After loading a blueprint, select recipes using arrow keys in the top interface. Pre-loading input items restricts selectable recipes to valid options only. With a crafting table as blueprint, the terminal functions as an automated crafting table.
