AutoFuture: Crafting Tiers for the Six Machine Blocks

AutoFuture organizes its six functional machine blocks along a steep material curve, starting with basic wood and smelted stone housings before escalating into heavy investments of Crying Obsidian and compressed Block of Diamond units. Planning your resource stockpile ahead of time keeps you from burning loose gems before the top-tier stations are built.

Early Wood and Stone Frames

Two blocks require no diamonds or Nether portal salvage at all, making them accessible as soon as you have basic Nether brewing access and redstone dust:

• Oak Log x8 + Brewing Stand -> Fermenter
• Smooth Stone x8 + Block of Redstone -> Block Accelerator

Notice that the Fermenter specifically calls for Oak Log blocks wrapped around a Brewing Stand, while the Block Accelerator surrounds a single Block of Redstone with eight Smooth Stone blocks rather than standard cobblestone or stone bricks.

Obsidian Splitters and Press Frames

Moving into material separation and combination introduces ruined portal salvage. Both the Separator and the Combiner share the same core structural chassis—two Obsidian, two Crying Obsidian, and one central Block of Redstone—while swapping out their top and bottom working parts:

• Diamond x2 + Diamond Sword + Diamond Axe + Obsidian x2 + Crying Obsidian x2 + Block of Redstone -> Separator
• Block of Diamond x2 + Piston + Block of Iron + Obsidian x2 + Crying Obsidian x2 + Block of Redstone -> Combiner

Where the Separator embeds intact tools (Diamond Sword and Diamond Axe) alongside two loose Diamond gems, the Combiner trades blades for mechanical compression using a Piston, a Block of Iron, and two full Block of Diamond cubes.

Ice-Cooled Diamond Stations

The remaining two machines pair Packed Ice with compressed diamond storage:

• Packed Ice x7 + Block of Redstone + Block of Diamond -> Crystal Grower
• Block of Diamond x6 + Anvil + Enchanting Table + Packed Ice -> Infuser

The Crystal Grower leans heavily on cold insulation with seven Packed Ice blocks, one Block of Redstone, and one Block of Diamond. At the top of the mod's crafting tree, the Infuser is by far the most expensive single block to assemble, consuming six Block of Diamond cubes alongside a full Anvil, an Enchanting Table, and one Packed Ice base.
