Thermal SeriesMid-tier industrial tech — Pulverizer, Redstone Furnace, Sawmill, Energy Cells, Tesseracts
About
The Thermal series is the longstanding mid-tier industrial mod stack. Foundation is the resource layer (ores, dusts, ingots, basic machines). Expansion adds the machine tier (Pulverizer 2× ore, Redstone Furnace, Sawmill, Centrifuge, Fluid Transposer). Cultivation adds Phytogenic Insolator (auto crop growth chamber) and Composter. Locomotion adds powered Frosted/Energized rails. Innovation adds modular tool/armor (Tinker's-style upgrade for vanilla iron tools). Redstone Arsenal adds Flux-Infused tools (powered self-charging tools). Ensorcellation adds new enchantments. ThermalExtra adds bonus content.
Things to do
- Pulverizer — first ore doubling machine (cheap)
- Phytogenic Insolator — automated crop production
- Redstone Furnace → batch smelting
- Tesseracts (Expansion) — wireless item/fluid/energy transmitter network
- Redstone Arsenal tools — Flux Capacitor + Powered tools
Getting started
Cinnabar Ore + Mint Leaves + Silver Ore are Thermal's signature drops. Build a Pulverizer first — needs basic resources, doubles your ore output immediately.
