About this project
What does Botanical Machinery add?
Porting information for 26.1 update
Botanical Machinery
We all know, Botania is a tech mod. Magic mod. Tech mod. Magic mod? Tech mod!? It's a mod. A fancy mod with Mana, Mystical Flowers, Elves and the Gaia. Sometimes it can be hard or annoying to automate all the things in Botania. It's something that makes the mod magical.
This mod - Botanical Machinery - will help you automate basically everything from Botania. Quite uncommon in the world of Botania, this mod adds plenty of machines. What machines? Find out below!
Here you can see all the machines. You can learn more about each machine in the corresponding sections below. The Mana Battery can be seen in conjunction with the other machines in the last picture at the very bottom.

Alfheim Market
Show

This single block has a tiny version of an Alfheim Portal inside. It allows for trade with the elves without the need of having a gigantic portal around. Just be careful not to put any bread inside...
Industrial Agglomeration Factory
Show

The Agglomeration Plate usually requires a stabilising platform underneath it. Not anymore with this device. This machine is pretty unknown to the regular botanist, so give it a shot!
Mechanical Mana Pool
Show

Just like a regular Mana Pool, this can store quite some mana. It is also capable of mana infusion. As with any other pool, you can use catalysts. However, this pool requires you to put them into its inventory and not to place them below it.
Mechanical Runic Altar
Show

This device allows you to create runes a lot more easily. Really, it's nothing more than a normal Runic Altar, which can be automated using hoppers.
Mechanical Daisy
Show

By planting a Floating Pure Daisy onto a platform made out of Elementium, it is capable of processing 8 blocks at once in only a single block space. It can also handle fluids.
Mechanical Brewery
Show

An improved version of the Botanical Brewery that receives mana from sparks and lets you automate brews easily.
Mechanical Apothecary
Show

An improved version of the Apothecary that uses water, seeds and ingredients to create all the flowers your heart desires.
All machines are compatible with other mods. You can automate everything with Refined Storage or Applied Energistics.

Please note that I will delete every comment which is just saying "Why do we need this, with Botania only it’s possible, too" or "you destroyed Botania" or anything like that.
You are allowed to put this mod in any modpack you like.
