About this project

What does Engineers' Materials add?

Main

Engineers' Materials brings a hand-picked set of Create-themed materials and engineer modifiers into Tinkers' Construct.

Materials

Six exclusive materials, usable in TiC tools and armor:

Material	Trait	Highlights
Brass	Precise	600 durability / 6.0 attack, repair-friendly
Zinc	Rustless	Converts Andesite into Andesite Alloy when mining
Chocolate	Nourishing	Edible — eat your tool to restore hunger
Cardboard	Weak	No damage, but lightning fast
Andesite Alloy	Tenacious	Well-rounded stat boosts
Rose Quartz	Rose Blade	Diamond-tier mining, doubled ranged damage

Modifiers

Five engineer modifiers that replicate Create's engineer equipment:

Wrench — use your tool to configure Create's kinetic contraptions, just like a Create wrench
Extendo — grants +3 block & entity reach on a chestplate (at a cost of −50% attack speed)
AutoCrush — mined drops are crushed automatically, as if fed to Crushing Wheels (−25% mining & use speed)
Diving Weights — boots gain Create's diving-boot effects: dive faster, walk & jump underwater, ignore Mechanical Belts
Goggles — helmet gains the full function of Create goggles

Gameplay features

Ore melting — all crushed ores melt through TiC ore_melting recipes; output scales with the machine (Melter/Smeltery ~1.33 ingots per ore, Foundry 1 ingot per ore)
Complete cobalt processing line — a new Crushed Cobalt Ore enables crushing → washing → melting into Molten Cobalt with a bonus Molten Diamond byproduct
Slime balls — mix dough and dyes into all kinds of TiC Slime Balls

Aside

This mod was split from Tinkers' Gears, keeping only its most cohesive content — check the gallery for a preview.

Why? Tinkers' Gears tried to do too much at once. I'm breaking it into focused modules, such as this one and Tinkers' Ponder, so each can be developed and polished more thoroughly.
