Ferromancy

Ferromancy has over 300 quests, tech, magic, and exploration, with custom progression and ore processing.

This is a pack for the seasoned miner, crafter, magician, etc. Ores are separated into tiers based on how they are processed, and there is a totally custom ore processing chain that varies based on your stage in the game (see images!). This modpack is for people who aren't afraid to take some time to enjoy the peaceful (or not so much) activity of spelunking, or creating a disorganized maze of strip mines. As an example, oureclase is a mineral used in the creation of various alloys, yet it is only found at y = 48 and above. This encourages having a multi-leveled strip mining installation. All the electric drills and such are disabled, so the TiC hammer is your best friend until late game! Not to worry, however, you can enhance your TiC pickaxe with vertical and horizontal expanders, making it expose more blocks at once, growing your massive industry. Progression flows throughout all the magic and dimensional mods in "Phases", each containing a tech mod, a magic mod, and at least one dimension. One exception to this is abyssalcraft, which is sprinkled throughout the pack.

This pack also adds some scary mobs & increases the difficulty of the vanilla ones, to allow full range of use of all the magical items and weapons! Tinkers' Construct has many custom materials and traits fitting the theme of the material. I have taken a sweeping balance pass on nearly every material's stats and traits, even with some custom traits! No tool is left without a trait, either.

Osmium, being a Tier 3 ore, needs to be mixed with ambrosia to turn into a slurry, and processed further. With more advanced machines such as the Centrifugal Separator and Pulverizer, you can remove the need for the Crusher and Sieve multiblock. Later machines cut out steps entirely. This is the essence of ore Tiers, newer Tiers are tough to process, but grant access to easier ways to process old Tiers.

Ore Tier Overview

Tier 1 - Ores that can be smashed with a hammer and directly smelted/washed

Tier 2 - Same as Tier 1, but require RF appliances to automate
