Factorization

Factorization expands vanilla redstone automation with a kit of machinery and programmable parts for building complex contraptions. Its processing and handling components include stampers, packagers, mixers, compression crafting, parasieves and barrels, alongside socket-mounted tools such as robotic arms, item shifters, screw pumps, lacerators and pressurizers. Machines can support flexible item crafting and transfer: the Packager tries recipes in a 3×3 grid before a 2×2 grid, while the configurable Item Shifter can move selected quantities on redstone pulses or stream items while powered. Other automation parts include a Block Matcher that signals when blocks at its two ends match, and servos that use stored instructions, subroutines and computation to control motion and interactions. The mod also adds a charge-energy system for powering processing machines, some socket parts and servos, with generation, transfer, measurement and storage. Its materials and crafting include galena, which can yield silver and lead in a Slag Furnace, dark iron found in bedrock craters, and diamond shards made by blasting diamond blocks with TNT. Factorization also features artifact crafting at the Artifact Forge, where two identical tools, Bottles of Potency, enchanted books and a name are combined into a powerful named tool; its enchants can be merged beyond ordinary level limits, and nearly broken artifacts can be repaired at the Hall of Legends. For more experimental creations, its Hammer engine enables arbitrary chunk movement and rotation, supporting Colossi and the Twisting Block.
