Charged crystal of true quartz minecraft. Complete guide to AE2

In this guide, I want to tell you where to start in this mod. The guide will be updated over time. Item IDs indicated for easier crafting recipe search.
Before proceeding, I want to tell you a little about crystals. There are only 3 of them and they have 3 different states: normal, dust (crushed in any crushing mechanism) and pure (grown from seed, more on that later).

CRYSTALS

True Quartz Crystal
Charged True Quartz Crystal
Pure True Quartz Crystal
True Quartz Dust

Shifting Crystal
Pure mutable crystal
Shifting Dust

Nether Quartz
Pure Nether Quartz Crystal
Nether Quartz Dust

First of all, you need to find a charged crystal of true quartz. It looks like an ordinary crystal, but not much lighter and radiates energy. It is extremely rare in the upper world, less often than usual at a height of 17 to 69. In search of a charged one, collect ordinary ones, but more on that later.

This is what it looks like charged in nature:

So we have a charged true quartz crystal in our pockets. Now we need to make a changeable crystal. We make a puddle with water, 1x1 is enough. We throw out there one by one: a charged crystal of true quartz, quartz of the nether world and red dust. Next, we need to craft the charger.

Here is the craft of the charger (ID 188) and its wooden handle (ID 185)

The handle will need to be twisted by yourself. It must be inserted into the charger. SHIFT + RMB on the top of the charger, there is just a black hole there. Just press RMB and hold until the handle stops. Over time, the handle may break.

Now you do not need to spend a lot of time looking for charged crystals.

CRYSTAL GROWTH

True Crystal Seed
Shifting Crystal Seed
Nether Crystal Seed

For cultivation, we need seeds, the creation of which will not be more difficult. So, we need to craft a quartz crusher (ID 184) and a wooden handle. The crusher has several crafting options, we choose the most suitable one ourselves. Search craft by ID (it will be easier and faster this way).
P.S. Also in the crusher you can grind the bone and get as many as 4 bone meal, instead of 3 if you grind it through inventory.

You can create a seed in the inventory: dust + sand = 2 seeds

Now, the seed needs to be grown. We throw it into the water, it will grow for about an hour, you can always see the growth progress by picking it up, after the line “this item will not disappear”, you can find out by how much% the crystal has already grown.

Crystal Accelerators

Accelerators will greatly simplify this process. When using 4 pieces, a clean one is obtained after a minute and a half. Each accelerator consumes 8 AU/tick. Consider their craft ...

Crystal Growth Accelerator (ID 205)

4 iron ingots
1 mutable block
2 quartz glasses
2 ME glass cables

Changeable block (ID 180)

4 Shifting Crystals or 8 Pure Shifting Crystals

Good day!
I want to write a series of guides on Applied Energistics 2. This part will include ores, crystals and how to grow them.

P/s Don't wait for crafting recipes, all recipes are available in NEI.

Ores:

Ore of true quartz. Breaking the ore will drop a true quartz crystal.

A charged ore of true quartz. Breaking the ore will drop a charged crystal of true quartz.
Drops from ores miscellaneous the number of crystals (the luck enchantment works).

All types of crystals:

True Quartz Crystal and Charged True Quartz Crystal meet at a height of 17 to 69 blocks. More common are true quartz crystals, But this does not mean that there will be a shortage of charged crystals.

Charger Usage:

Need to put in the charger true quartz crystal..
Wait.
Take charged true quartz crystal(he emits lightning around him).

Having a charged true quartz crystal can make a mutable crystal.
To create a volatile crystal, we need: 1 charged crystal of true quartz, 1 red dust, 1 quartz (from the Nether) and a deepening with water.

And now let's start making the crystal itself. Instruction:

wait out ClearLag.
Throw all the above resources into the water.
Do not jump into the water, but stand next to it.
Magic happens.
We pick up volatile crystals in the amount of 2 pieces.

Now let's get into crystal growing (production of all types of pure crystals). We still need a hole with water, a growth accelerator and an energy receiver. Without accelerators, the process of growing crystals will take a long time.
But first, I will tell you what a quartz crusher is and what it is eaten with:
Quartz Crusher is designed to crush resources. In the crusher, you can crush ordinary crystals (charged and uncharged true crystals).

Quartz Crusher Inventory

An example of usage can be seen in this video:

According to a similar scheme, you can get the seeds of the mutable and quartz seeds.
p/s You can also crush crystals in the crusher from the IC2 mod. You can also grind ores in it.
He told everything about the quartz crusher. Now let's move on to growing crystals.
In the video, a seed of true quartz was obtained. We throw it boldly into the water ( ClearLag does not touch the seeds, but removes pure crystals (grown). This means that we must not forget about the seeds thrown into the water).

We prepare this scheme:

Electricity from the IC2 mode is converted by the power receiver into AE2 mode power and transmitted through variable cables to the crystal growth accelerators. This scheme contains 5 accelerators, but 4, and 3, and 2, and 1 are possible. The time for converting seeds into crystals depends on the number of accelerators.
We throw into the water any seed that we want to grow (you can throw an unlimited number of seeds).
If you take an ungrown seed, hover over it in your inventory, you can see the process of its growth as a percentage. And also during growth, the size of the crystal changes.
In the end, we get, in this case, a pure crystal of true quartz.

I think the intro part of the AE2 mod is ready. Thank you all for your attention. , which includes a description of cables and channels. Good luck!

PICTURES COMING SOON!!!

Extra Cells is also on the way!

General description of the modification:

AE2 is a feature rich mod that adds new energy, a new storage system that's even better than Refined Relocation, and a movement system that's even better than BuildCraft. Almost any interaction requires energy, which can either be converted from EU, RF, MJ to AE (Applied Energy), or obtained internally, described later.

New Resources(Worldgen)

crystals

Certus quartz ore (True Quartz Crystals) are found at heights 17 - 69, in veins of 1-5 blocks.

Ore looks like this:

Drops 1 True Quartz Crystal and 0-3 True Quartz Dust.

The crystal looks like this:

Dust looks like this:

But you can also come across charged crystals of true quartz.

They drop from Charged certus quartz ore. It can be distinguished from a simple one by the blue particles emanating from it. Charged quartz has a large number of applications in modification.

Charged quartz looks like this:

Hell Quartz can now be crushed into dust.

She looks like this:

There are also quartz and true quartz instruments. Differences between them have not yet been found, in all properties except strength they are similar to iron. As strong as gold.

Quartz ax, quartz pickaxe, quartz sword, quartz hoe, quartz shovel, quartz cutting knife.

I’ll talk about the last tool (quartz cutting knife) a little later.

From true quartz you can make bluish-white decorative blocks - a block, a column, a carved block.

True Quartz Block:

True Quartz Column:

Carved True Quartz Block:

Also, lamps can be made from the aforementioned charged quartz.

floor lamp:

From the dust of true quartz (or the dust of infernal quartz) you can make quartz glass (quartz glass). It is very explosive and almost completely transparent, smoothing out the borders when placed more than two side by side.

Looks like that:

Also can be made from quartz glass and light dust Luminous glass (vibrant quartz glass). It glows like glowstone and looks like quartz glass.

Steps can also be made from carved and ordinary blocks and columns of true quartz. They look like the block they are made of.

From a crystal of true quartz, a crystal of infernal quartz and a red stone (1: 1: 1) you can get a changeable crystal (fluix crystal) - you need to throw the ingredients into a pit with water (source).

Still crystals can be processed into pure - pure nether quartz / pure certus quartz / pure fluix crystal.

It is necessary to throw a crystal seed (crafting a crystal with sand) into a pit with water - fluix crystal seed/nether quartz seed/certus quartz ore.

You need to wait a while before taking them out. However, growth progress is preserved, and you can see it under the name. They don't disappear with time.

Pure Shifting Crystal:

Pure true quartz:

Pure Hell Quartz:

All AE2 recipes in NEI show the ability to use pure (and sometimes charged) crystals instead of normal ones.

Therefore, below is a list of recipes that really require pure crystals:

Printed calculation circuit (Printed calculation press)

ME controller

The first device is known to many. Quartz grindstone(Quartz crusher) and wooden crank(Wooden handle).

To work, you need to put the crusher on the ground and put the handle on top. Then put the item that you want to grind in the upper left slot, and pick up the finished one on the right.

Crusher:

Interface:

Crushing occurs by clicking and holding RMB on the handle.

Obsidian - obsidian dust(IC)

Coal (ore) - coal dust

Coal - coal dust

Ingot (crystal) - dust

Ore - dust (90% dust)

Ore of true quartz (charged) - quartz dust (90% quartz dust)

Hell Quartz Ore (Charged) - Hell Quartz Dust (90% Hell Quartz Dust)

Ender Pearl - Ender Dust

Shifting Crystal - Shifting Dust

Skystone - Skystone dust (useless)

gravel - flint

Bone - bone meal 4 pcs.

Wheat - flour (in the oven - bread)

To do this, you need to either find a meteorite (a black piece of heavenly stone) or

ask a neighbor to copy the drawings in the Die cutter:

inserting an iron block and a blueprint there.

But for the search for meteorites, there is a Meteorite compass (Meteorite compass).

It looks like this:

It can be placed on a block or kept in inventory. It will point to the nearest block of skystone in 3x3 chunks around, if it is spinning quickly, then there is a skystone in this chunk, if it is slowly spinning, then nothing has been found.

Inside the meteorite there is a chest that will contain blueprints. I almost forgot that the meteorite can be underground.

Skystone can be crafted into several types of decorative blocks.

Small brick:

You can also make a chest of heavenly stone or a heavenly block of stone useful in the household.

Stone Chest:

Block Chest:

They differ only in appearance. You can also make steps from all these decorative blocks. They will look like the block they are made from.

The die cutter is the most important machine for obtaining processors. You need a found or copied drawing and material.

Punch GUI:

All processors require imprinted silicon, redstone, and processor outline. Make 3 logical processors. Now you will need annihilation core and formation core. They are crafted in 2 pieces. Then you will need a lighting panel. They are crafted in packs of 3 and can be used as a light source (they require energy). Now crafting ME chest is not difficult.

AE energy is transported by universal cables (Fluix cable). These cables are made from 2 quartz fibers and one changeable crystal. They conduct not only energy, but also connect machines into one network. However, the mechanisms standing close to each other perform the same function. This is very useful for small bases and novice players.

Time to make the first storage cell. Crafting any disk starts with 1k ME Storage Component and requires 1 processor, 4 redstones and 4 quartz crystals. From this element you can already make a disk, the smallest in the modification. To do this, take 2 quartz glass, 3 iron and 3 redstone. But still it is necessary to tell about system of types and quantity. Any disk, even the largest, has a limit - 63 types (written under the name) and the limit depends on the level of the disk. But the storage component could be improved. Simply combine a calculation processor, 4 redstone, 1 quartz glass, and 3 1K storage components to get a 4K storage component. According to the same scheme, you can improve any component, more details in the NEI (Maximum - 64K). To extract a component from the disk, you need to press Shift-RMB with the disk. This will clear his memory.

The disc is inserted into the ME chest from the front, in a single slot. Interaction is made from above.

This is the terminal interface that was used in crafting. If there is not enough energy, then the slots become gray and inaccessible. They can also be colored, thereby dividing the scope of the network. However, if you want more disks in your system, then you will need a disk drive. It has 10 slots for disks, to which you need to connect either through the chest or through the terminal separately, which by the way is hung on the cable (without insulation.) Yes, the cables can be insulated in dyed wool, and they will not be connected like cables from RP2 or OC. It is on bare cables that you can hang terminals and other useful devices.

Looks like that:

For example, there is a Level emitter. It indicates the type and quantity of the item at which this element releases a redstone signal. It is also necessary to mention the improvements of the mechanisms. First you need an Upgrade card base. The recipe is quite simple, from well-known ingredients. Then you can see in the NEI how the rest of the improvements are made. Usually the names of improvements speak for themselves, for example redstone card allows you to control (turn on / off) the device with redstone signals. For example, an inverter can be inserted into the level emitter described above - it completely reverses the settings of the device in which it is located.

For example, you can "put" (the item is not wasted) a stack of cobblestone into it, and tell it to issue a signal with the given parameters. Also, upgrade cards affect devices - Import bus, export bus and storage bus. The Export bus is a simple device for taking items out of the system and into external objects. For example, choosing coal in the export bus will make it pull coal, for example, into a stove (if it is not configured for an item, then it will not do anything)

Something like this:

The import bus does the complete opposite. It can be configured, for example, to pull gold out of a furnace

The only difference is that if you do not specify anything in the filter, then it will try all possible combinations.

ME Interface is a hybrid of both mechanisms described above. It is originally made as a block, but can be converted into a "bait" with a shapeless recipe. Its meaning is in a multilateral (in the case of a block) connection with machines and pipes from other mods. So it acts like an ME chest, tuned for automation in mods. Simply put, an external I/O port for the ME network.

But also it is necessary to mention the system of channels. For example, each terminal, each I/E nozzle requires 1 channel. There are 8 by default. So, there are 2 ways to fix the situation. You can use the ME Controller to expand the channel limit (2 controllers in the system cannot be, but there can be a multi-block structure up to 7x7x7). That is, for example, you can increase from 8 channels to 32. This is done by connecting the entire network to the controller. But cables also have a limit of up to 8. Here you need a dense fluix cable. And yet, very often it is convenient to paint the wires suitable for the controller. Thus, you can save on controllers, which, by the way, are made from pure volatile crystals.

Well, the second method affects the Storage bus device.

It looks like this:

The storage bus can connect devices and containers from other mods to the system, simply turning them into an ME chest. (In this case, the capacity of the system is increased due to the slots in the container) You can do a lot of cheating things, for example, connect a barrel from JABBA or a Deep storage unit from MFR. But the way to save channels is very real. We just put the Storage bus on the ME Interface. In total, 2 systems connected and combined channels. Cheeky and simple.

Also, back to the cables. Dense cable can show the occupancy of 32 channels by highlighting the occupied channels in blue. smart cable can do the same, but in 8-channel version. toggle bus can be placed on bare wires and RMB on it determines its bandwidth. This is especially useful given that AE machines are constantly eating energy. inverted toggle bus does the same thing but in reverse. Both can be controlled by redstone.

Inverted toggle bus:

Also, there is a semi-decorative thing - storage monitor. On it you can change the amount of which it will show RMB with an object. The wrench locks changes or unlocks them. Useful in privates. Then there is an advanced version - conversion monitor. You can shift-right-click to send items that are depicted on it. Useful for trading.

Storage monitor(conversion):

A regular access terminal can be upgraded with a workbench. This makes it possible to craft directly from the system.

Also in fashion is autocraft. To build a molecular assembler you need:

Molecular Assembler:

Me Pattern terminal:

First you need a molecular assembler computational processor.

This is a multiblock cubic structure that must have at least one storage component. Such a component can be of different types, from 4k to 64k. This increases the storage capacity of Patterns in the machine. You can then add co-crafting processors to add parallel item production lines. By default, he crafts one at a time. You can then add a Crafting monitor to see what the machine is creating. Then, connect the molecular assembler to the system. Then, open the Pattern teminal interface and code several Empty Patterns for the item to be created. Then put these things into the system at the terminal. Now, under the encoded disk "sticks" instead of the amount there will be an inscription Craft. In the system, he changes the icon and inscription to the item for which he is encoded. Then, by clicking on it, you can set the amount of the item being made. In the molecular assembler, the icon of the item will rotate, and after a while the item will be manufactured.

There is also a cell workbench. It allows you to insert cards with improvements into discs. There is also a View cell, which allows you to change the appearance of the menu in the terminals. Configurable in the workbench for discs.

Now a very necessary and useful device - crystal growth accelerator. If it is placed next to a puddle with a growing crystal, the crystal will grow much faster. It consumes a lot of energy, so I highly recommend installing a toggle bus. Then there is the charger - it allows you to charge the crystals and all the tools.

Crystal Accelerator:

Moving on to tools:

Charged staff - a simple weapon that deals damage like an iron sword.

Wireless access terminal - allows you to access the system through a wireless access point (wireless boosters increase the radius).

Matter cannon - this thing shoots paint ball, lead nugget, gold nugget. This is loaded into ME Chest.

Color applicator - Uses paint balls and just paint to color cables and terminals.

Network tool - displays a menu with all network components.

Portable cell - a portable disk with the ability to open "on the go".

You can also put an Inscriber Name Press in the die cutter. It can be named as on an anvil and applied as a tag on almost any device in modification.

The security terminal is very useful on the server. In a very convenient menu, you can set what a player recorded on a biometric card can do. You can record with RMB card. The holding player is recorded.

Formation and Annihilation plane are also present. The first one creates a block, to which the RMB is configured with the desired block, the second one destroys all blocks in front of it. Convenient for the stone generator.

Matter condenser turns trash and 256 AU into matter ball, trash and 256,000 into Singularity. Matter balls can be fired from a material cannon, and a singularity can be blown up (eg Tiny TNT) to get 2 connected singularities.

They can already be used in Quantum Network Bridge.

Build it with 8 ME Quantum Ring and 1 ME Quantum Link Chamber.

Build like this:

Then, when the multi-block structure has formed, put the associated singularity in the middle block 1. Then build the same ring at the destination, and insert the singularity there. Done, now you can access the system from these "rings".

I strongly advise you not to place the ring on a server without private, because suddenly someone will put a terminal next to it and pump out all the resources from the system.

Then I will talk about P2P (Point to point tunnels). This can not only help expand the system, but also... Replace the BC pipes! p2p will be useful even for those who do not want to develop an AE system. First you need a P2P Tunnel, a Memory Card and a lot of Dense cables. (There can be many outputs in one system, but only one input.) Now let's set up a tunnel, connect the cables and lead where necessary. Then we put another tunnel at the end. Then we paint the tunnel in a color that suits us. Simple color - connection of AE systems, red - redstone, light blue - IR energy, light gray - RF and MJ, dark blue - liquid, white - light. All this costs energy:

ME Tunnel1 unit / tick per tunnel

Fluid Tunnel2 units / tick per tunnel

Item Tunnel2 units /tick per tunnel

Redstone Tunnel0.5 unit / tick per tunnel

Light Tunnel0.5 unit / tick per tunnel

Power RF/EU Tunnel

0.5 unit / tick per tunnel

Additional 5% tax on input

Then Shift-RMB on the configured input tunnel with a memory card to copy the settings. Then RMB on the exit tunnel. Don't forget to connect the power. The tunnel is ready!

By the way, there is also the ME IO Port, which can remove things from disks and send them over connected cables. Simple and automated.

And now to what is probably the most dangerous possibility in AE. Ability to move territory. But the greatest and most terrible thing is the sealing of the players. But first things first.

So, we need a ME Spatial IO Port, a lot of Fluix Cable and Spatial Pylon. To begin with, we build a structure of pylons and cables around the object being moved. The shape and size is not important, the main thing is that everything is connected. Then we connect the Spatial I / O port and put the spatial disk there. Then we give a redstone signal to the machine, and you're done - there is a sealed space in the disk. The thing eats a lot of energy at a time, but you can reduce the amount by adding pylons to the structure. Sometimes there may not be enough energy in the entire system, then you need to add energy cells. At the top of the port window, you can see the efficiency of the process. It directly depends on the number of pylons. The same disc can be "printed" in the same port with the same covered space (otherwise it either won't fit or it won't work in both cases). player. Because he hardly set up a super-system to get out of there ... For example, a tablet with a Linked Card from the OS. In general, the thing is dangerous, and I do not recommend indulging in it. But spawners can be worn.

I hope you liked it. If something seems unfinished or unsaid to you, be sure to write in the comments.

Charged True Quartz Crystal Charged Certus Quartz Crystal) is a resource added by the Applied Energistics 2 mod. It can be mined from a charged ore of true quartz in the amount of 1 piece or produced in a charger from a true quartz crystal.

A Charged True Quartz Crystal is used to create a Shifting Crystal. To do this, throw red dust, nether quartz, and the charged true quartz crystal itself into the water. After a couple of seconds, the drop will be replaced by 2 volatile crystals.

Hello Guest! Do you already know about the latest site updates? It's time to look into our topic and find out information about the update of February 22, 2019.

Take part in the beta test of the Services and earn rewards. More.

Attention! Players who downloaded the launcher before 04/02/2019 are required to download the launcher from the site again. Some changes have been made to the launcher.

Good day, gentlemen techies. Something made me want to write a guide for AE2, because newbies often ask questions about this mod. I would be happy to tell them in detail right in the game, but there are so many interesting and necessary things that it is simply impossible to tell them quickly and about everything. In general: this mod allows you to have one large chest instead of many vanilla or mod chests that you can access anywhere in your house. In addition, this chest will be able to craft things for you, put raw materials into processing. Just to make such a system, you have to try very hard. Let's start from the very beginning.

Chapter 1.
Episode 1. What is this ore?

So: this mod adds two ores and a skystone. We do not need the latter yet, we will talk about it later. Actually, screenshots of ores:

In general, five presses are in fashion, there is also a name press, but it is not the main one.
“Most likely you won’t find meteorites on the server, but don’t worry. The presses can be copied, so there will surely be a player who will sell them to you. Well, or contact me. The same is true of the heavenly stone."

Episode 2. Are there not only true crystals?

Well, it's time for the rituals. In the crafting of many things, you will need a volatile crystal. In order to make it, you will need a puddle of water. In this puddle you need to throw a charged crystal of true quartz, quartz of the nether world and red dust. In return, you will receive two volatile crystals. This is not the only ritual that you will perform in the process of learning the mod, but we will talk about the second later. Here's a screenshot of the crystals, from left to right: a regular True Quartz Crystal, a Charged True Quartz Crystal, and a Shifting Crystal.

Episode 3. It's time to start crafting something.

For starters, if you're masochistically inclined and haven't been developing in the Industrial Craft2 mod, you can craft a hand crusher. The craft of the crusher itself and its components is below:

This is how the crusher should look like, ready to use.

The camera has an extremely simple interface: one slot for coal or any other fuel.
The bottom line is this: put coal inside, the chamber generates energy. On the right there is a scale that indicates how much energy the device produces.
The next device in line to be crafted is a die cutter. You need it to create processors that you will need quite often. Well, we are now, however, not about that. Attached is the crafting plan.

So we have a lot of slots. Three slots on the right are for acceleration cards. They can also be crafted, but not required. Maybe next time I will describe their crafts. We have more slots to the left of the arrow leading to the big slot where the result will be. Depending on what we will do, they can be filled in different ways.

Often you will need Charged True Quartz Crystals. The charger will allow you not to sit in the mines for a long time and look for charged crystals. With it, you can charge ordinary true quartz crystals and craft other items from the mod. To charge the crystal, you need to right-click on the charger with the crystal in your hand, and then wait for the crystal to change texture. After the procedure, we extract the crystal in the same way by right-clicking on the crystal.

Episode 4. We grow crystals.

Some crafting requires pure crystals, and here we recall that I promised you to tell you about another “ritual” that we must master. Here is the evolution of the crystal in one screenshot.

What are we doing? We crush a true quartz crystal or a changeable crystal, and then we craft a seed (dust + sand). After that, throw the seed into a puddle of water. In order for it to grow, it takes a lot of time, so you can craft growth accelerators and put it next to a puddle. To achieve maximum efficiency, they need as many as five pieces.

The components of the crafting elements can be viewed in TMI, if necessary, I will write a guide on it. Well, or pick up the old one.

In order for the accelerators to work, you need to power them with energy from AE. By the way, devices from this mod can transfer energy to each other, the main thing is that they touch at least one side. This allows you not to waste quartz on wires. On the server, quartz crystals are quite valuable.

One of the updated mods installed on Hi-Tech 1.7.10 servers is Applied Energistics 2. It has been heavily modified, and often players have questions about creating and using its individual elements. I present to you the first part of the guide for this modification.

It has quite extensive functions: from compact storage of resources, to automatic crafting and creation of the necessary things, without user intervention; mod provides many possibilities, and is limited only by the player's imagination in the field of its use.

In the first part, we will look at ways to create the basic resources necessary for crafting. For efficient use, you need a stable source of energy and sufficient resources.

One of the main components that are used in almost all recipes are quartz and its crystals. There are three types in total:

Volatile - are a mixture of nether quartz, charged true quartz (found at a height of 17 to 69 in the overworld) and red dust.
True - crystals of quartz of the true world, mined with a stone and stronger pickaxe from a common quartz ore. There is an alternative, not profitable recipe: crushing ore in a mechanism (quartz crusher, grinder, crusher from IC2).
Nether - Dropped by Nether Quartz Ore. Also, the ore can be processed in a furnace, which is a very inefficient way to get quartz.

All are characterized by three states: normal, dust (crushed in any crushing mechanism), pure (grown from seed, more on that later).

To create a variable crystal, it is necessary to throw a charged crystal of true quartz, quartz of the nether world and red dust into the water. After a few seconds, the resources will turn into two volatile crystals.

Charged Crystal drops from Charged Ore, which is much rarer in the world, and has a slightly different appearance: it is slightly lighter, and periodically causes small purple discharges. As soon as you find at least one, I advise you to make changeable crystals and craft a charger, since in the future charged quartz crystals are needed in large quantities, and constant searches for them in the world take a very long time.

Right-clicking with a quartz in hand will place it inside the charger. Then it can be powered by any type of energy available to you, the entrance is at the top of the device, or you can even use a wooden handle, it is installed there as well. After charging, the quartz will change the texture to a lighter one, another right-click will extract it from there.

Almost all recipes with ordinary crystals are replaced with pure ones. They are grown from the seed of the crystal. Craft is quite simple, in the grid we combine dust and sand; thus, from one ordinary crystal, two true crystals are obtained, so their use is much more profitable.

Chapter 1.
Episode 1. What is this ore?

So: this mod adds two ores and a skystone. We do not need the latter yet, we will talk about it later. Actually, screenshots of ores:

Spoiler: Ores

As you can see, these ores are very similar. In principle, both ores give the same item - a true quartz crystal. The only difference is that the "sparkling" ore is less common, but the charged crystal of true quartz falling from it will be needed to craft a meteorite compass in order to find a meteorite. Although you won’t need it on the server, you will need it in a single world, well, or after a server wipe (which is unlikely to happen at all, instead of it there may be a simple map regeneration).

Craft meteor compass.

Spoiler: Meteorite!

Press chest

The meteorite is needed for the extraction of the already mentioned heavenly stone. There is also a chest in the meteorite that contains presses. Below in the picture there are four of them: silicon, logic, computing and engineering (from left to right).

In general, five presses are in fashion, there is also a name press, but it is not the main one.
"You probably won't find meteorites on the server, but don't worry. The presses can be copied, so there will probably be a player who will sell them to you. Or contact me. The same goes for the sky stone."

Episode 2. Are there not only true crystals?

Episode 3. It's time to start crafting something...

For starters, if you're masochistically inclined and haven't been developing in the Industrial Craft2 mod, you can craft a hand crusher. The craft of the crusher itself and its components is below:

Manual crusher

wooden gear

wooden handle

This is how the crusher should look like, ready to use.

To install the handle, you need to right-click on the device while holding Shift while holding the crafted handle in your hand. Here is what the device interface looks like:

Principle of operation: put ore or crystals in the upper slot, exit the device interface and hold down the right mouse button on the handle, after the procedure, take the result of your labors from the lower slots. But if your tastes are quite normal, I advise you to use the crusher from IC2, save time and mouse.
Go ahead. At first, you will have to use the energy from this mod. To get AE energy, you need to craft a vibration chamber. To craft it, you will need a furnace, seven iron ingots, and an energy receiver. This is what the thing looks like.

Vibration Chamber:

The cutter interface looks like this:
