Create: Catworks
A very lightweight and simple addon for Create to add more things to automate
About this Mod
After playing the Create mod for a long time, I’ve noticed that most addons that expand automation either use very unbalanced recipes or focus heavily on progression.
Catworks takes a different approach by allowing you to automate most building blocks, adding quality-of-life features—such as a Blaze Burner recipe—and reducing lag by letting certain farms be fully automated with Create, like Blaze Rod production. It also introduces a few progression tweaks, such as a new Precision Mechanism recipe.
Notable changes:
- Zinc from limestone crushing
- Copper from smooth stone or basalt crushing
- Blaze rods from lava and coal
- Ore blocks can now be created via compaction
- Stone variants can be crafted without ore duplication
- Netherrack duplication
- Precision Mechanism now requires electron tubes and wrench deployment
- Air now passes through funnels, chutes, hoppers, and tunnels
- Edited Quartz Crushing Recipe from Stuff and Additions
