About this project
What does Compact Iron add?
Compact Iron - Advanced Golem Forging
Compact Iron is a high-tech automation mod that lets you generate resources using specialized Golem Forges. Start with basic wooden machinery and work your way up to legendary Netherite-infused forges!
### Features:
8 Tiers of Forges: Each material (Wood, Stone, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Obsidian, Netherite) has its own speed and upgrade capacity.
Dynamic Balancing: Higher tiers are significantly faster but require more investment.
20 Unique Upgrades: Customize your production with Speed, Fortune, Auto-Ejectors, Compactors, and even Ender-Transport!
Visual Progress: Each forge features a custom GUI with progress bars and time estimates.
How to get started:
Craft a Wooden Golem Forge using oak planks, iron ingots, and a carved pumpkin.
Place it down and watch it generate iron over time.
Use the generated resources to upgrade your forge to the next tier!
