Actually Additions — mod overview

Actually Additions is a tech mod focused on convenience, automation, and quality-of-life improvements. It adds machines, generators, tools, energy transfer systems, farms, gadgets, storage, food, and many everyday utilities.

The mod has no complex progression chains and is perfect for starting an industrial playthrough.

Main features of Actually Additions

simple and easy-to-use machines;
various types of generators: coal, solar, bio, thermal;
energy-powered tools and armor (Laser Drill, Laser Sword);
energy transfer system based on RF/FE;
fully automatic farms (Atomic Reconstructor + Lens);
QoL utilities: Rings, Crystals, Lamps, Bags;
item transportation using Item Lenses, Hoppers, and machines.

Unlike more complex tech mods, Actually Additions focuses on “everything works immediately”.

Energy: FE/RF and generators

Coal Generator

A simple generator that runs on any type of coal or fuel item.

Solar Panels

Multiple tiers of solar panels: from basic to advanced.

Bio Reactor / Bio Generator

Use plants, food, and biomaterials as fuel.

Heat Collector / Thermal Generator

Generates energy from lava or hot blocks.

All generators produce FE/RF and connect easily without cables.

Atomic Reconstructor — the heart of the mod

One of the most important machines. This is a laser that transforms items placed in front of its beam.

What it does

coal → Enori Crystal;
iron → Iron Crystal;
gold → Gold Crystal;
redstone → Redstone Crystal;
lapis → Lapis Crystal;
emeralds → Emeradic Crystal;
quartz → Palis Crystal;
charcoal → Void Crystal;

These crystals are the foundation of all advanced machines.

Lens (lenses)

The Atomic Reconstructor supports special lenses:

Lens of Color — recolors blocks;
Lens of Miner — generates resources from stone;
Lens of Damage — the laser deals damage;
Lens of Growth — accelerates plant growth;
Lens of Death — powerful combat beam;
Lens of Crafters — alternative crafting recipes.

By switching lenses, the laser can become anything—from a farm to a resource generator.

Actually Additions machines

Crusher

Crushes ores and items → doubles ore output.

Double Crusher

Improved version with two processing slots.

Empowerer

A multiblock structure used to empower crystals. Required to create enhanced versions of Restonia / Enori / Palis / Void / Emeradic / Diamatyne.

Farmer / Vertical Farmer

Automatic crop farms. Vertical Farmer works vertically and is more compact.

Greenhouse Glass

Glass that speeds up the growth of crops placed underneath.

Item Interface / Laser Relays

Item and energy transfer through networked relays.

Coffee Maker / Canola Machines

A unique system of beverages and oils (Canola Oil → Empowered Oil → Crystal Oil).

Tools and utilities

Atomic Tools

Drill — energy-powered mining drill: Adjustable speed, 3×3 mining, upgradeable.

Laser Sword: Chargeable energy weapon.

Paxel: Multi-tool (pickaxe + axe + shovel).

Utilities

Player Interface: Convenient item insertion into the player’s inventory.

Rings: Rings that provide speed, magnetism, and other effects.

Travel Anchor: Fast teleportation around the base.

Worms: Unique farming worms that hydrate soil and speed up growth.

Tiny Coal / Tiny Charcoal: Small fuel pieces for precise consumption.

Food and crops

Actually Additions adds:

rice;
coffee;
new beverages;
greenhouse blocks;
fertilizers;
the unique Canola system.

Canola is a major sub-system:

Canola → Crystallized Canola → Empowered Canola → Oil
each stage produces more energy.

Integrations with other mods

Actually Additions works great with:

Thermal Series: Compatible RF/FE, crushing, and power systems.

Mekanism: Alternative generators and automated processing.

Immersive Engineering: Pipelines, farms, generators.

Industrial Foregoing: Farm and automation compatibility.

Refined Storage / AE2: Autocrafting of Empowerer structures and crystals.

Botania: Works well with plant mechanics and growth-boosting blocks.
