Key Features:

Energy System (UtilityCraft Ultimate)

UtilityCraft Ultimate introduces an energy system called Dorios Energy (DE). Machines consume DE to operate, and energy is generated and stored using the following components:

• Generators: Convert fuel, light, or heat into DE. Includes options such as:
  • Furnator (fuel-based)
  • Magmator (lava-powered)
  • Thermo Generator (heat-based)
  • Solar Panel (light-based)
• Batteries: Store and transfer energy to machines. Available in four tiers:
  • Basic
  • Advanced
  • Expert
  • Ultimate

Each tier increases storage capacity and transfer rate, enabling more complex setups.
Every machine related stuff is crafted in the workbench.

Machines and Generators have a interactive UI, each one with a unique interface.

Chips Recipes:

Machines and Automation:

UtilityCraft provides a suite of machines, each designed for specific automation tasks. Machines can be oriented in any direction and support automated input/output with item transport systems.

Key machines include:

• Crusher – Converts ores and blocks into dusts or fragments. Recipes:

• Electro Press – Compresses materials and flattens ingots into plates. Recipes:

• Incinerator – Functions as a smelting furnace powered by DE
• Block Breaker – Automatically breaks blocks in front of it
• Block Placer – Places blocks from its internal inventory
• Induction Anvil – Repairs tools using energy instead of experience
• Harvester – Automates crop harvesting with configurable area and timing
• Seed Synthetizer – Grows bonsais and crops using energy
• Infuser – Fuse 2 different items creating stuff like chips
• Magmatic Chamber – Melts stones into lava
• Way Computer – Stores coordinates and allow you to teleport to them
• XP Condenser – Efficient way to store and extract XP

Upgrade System:

UtilityCraft Ultimate includes a flexible upgrade system. Most machines accept one or more of the following:

• Speed Upgrades: Decrease processing time
• Range Upgrades: Expand area of effect (used in machines like the Harvester)
• Efficiency Upgrades : Reduce energy consumption per operation

Upgrades allow players to tailor machine behavior to their specific needs, optimizing for performance or resource efficiency.

Passive Farming Tools:

UtilityCraft includes powerful tools for automated farming:

• Bonsai Pots: Grow miniature trees over time, producing wood, leaves, and saplings
• Ore Crops: Grow crop-based resources such as iron, gold, and diamonds
• Special Soils: Affect crop growth time and yield; certain soils also increase output multipliers
• Hoeing Mechanic: Standard soils can be hoed to reduce growth time, while special soils offer unique bonuses and cannot be modified

Bonsai growth and crop mechanics use real-time systems rather than fixed tick cycles, allowing for better balance and control over automation.

Fluid Storage and Management:

UtilityCraft supports fluid storage through fluid tanks, which can be stacked and piped into automation systems:

• High-capacity tanks for water, lava, and other liquids
• Designed for integration with lava-based generators, potion systems, or fluid-based machines
• Supports automation through input/output mechanics and item transport systems

Mechanical Spawners & Mob Grinding:

Controlled entity farming and resource extraction!

UtilityCraft includes Mechanical Spawners, which replicate mob spawning under controlled conditions. Designed for automation-focused mob farms.

Components:

• Mechanical Spawner:
  • Accepts speed and quantity upgrades
  • Can be automated for continuous farming
• Mob Grinder:
  • Automatically damages mobs in front of it
  • Efficient for collecting mob drops
• XP Magnet:
  • Attracts experience orbs in a wide radius
  • Can be paired with grinders for automated XP collection

All components are compatible with the energy system and designed for hands-free farming solutions.

Item Transportation:

Smart item handling and filtering system!

UtilityCraft features a robust item transportation suite, supporting fast and filtered item movement between containers and machines.

Core Components:

• Mechanical Hopper: Functions like a hopper but allows filter installation and accepts speed upgrades
• Mechanical Dropper: Sends items downward; can be filtered and upgraded
• Mechanical Upper: Moves items upward into machines or containers; supports filters
• Ender Hopper: Takes nearby items and store them in a container
• Conveyor Belts: Move items on surfaces; can be upgraded for faster transport

Filter System:

• Filter Upgrade: Allows insertion of filters into transportation blocks for precise item sorting
• Speed Upgrade: Boosts transfer rates

Perfect for designing large-scale factories and item logistics networks.

Item Handling and Integration:

All machines are designed with automation in mind:

• Automatically output to the container in front (machines, chests, barrels, or compatible addons)
• Accept input from item pipes, hoppers, and transport systems
• Fully directional placement for flexible factory designs
• Works in tandem with other Dorios Studios addons for seamless integration

Tools: Paxels, AIOTs, and Drills:

Multi-tools and power-driven utility equipment!

UtilityCraft includes high-performance tools designed for flexibility, durability, and automation support. They are crafted in the Utility Table.
