About this project
What does Applied Science add?
Not to be confused with Applied Energistics, this is not an addon for it
Do note that this mod has been tested, but a backup of your world is still recommended before adding it.
Feel free to add to any modpacks
This mod adds several new QoL items, ranging from mobility to destruction. It (as of now) includes:
A multitude of block entities used for processing, leading to the creation of all gadgets
A (fairly) sizeable quantity of gadgets, ranging from mobility, utility, annihilation, and anything inbetween
And a story (in some regard) accessible through the Analysis Station block entity. Every item in the mod contains an entry. (There are ZERO AI generated entries)
If you have any item suggestions, leave them in the comments and i'll see if it's workable.
This mod will keep receiving updates, and is actively being worked on.
