This mod adds a tonne of new and unique machines and processes which can be utilised by modpack makers to add more processing chains. However, on its own this mod doesn't really do much. The new processing machines are honestly really unique, the helve hammer and laser especially and they add a lot of new options for modpack creators to experiment with.

The new items it adds for compatibility with other mods are a really nice starting place for modpack creators but do leave something to be desired in relation to the textures. Modpack creators should probably edit the textures of the ones they want to use. The sheer amount of items can sometimes be somewhat bloated when a pack just wants the machines to add it's own custom processes but it is still a nice feature to have.

I would recommend this mod as a tool for modpack makers who are willing to put in a lot of effort to create custom processing chains and potentially some new textures.
