Core mechanics and machines
Oritech adds animated multiblock machines, item logistics, and energy systems to your world. You can build processing lines to refine ores, craft biofuel, or run oil processing. Upgrades connect directly to machines as addon blocks. You also get drones that carry items across long distances and mining lasers that break blocks on their own.
If you want to automate resources, you don't get locked into one path. You can make plastic by farming crops or by refining crude oil. In the late game, bedrock extractors pull renewable metals out of resource nodes. These resource nodes and oil wells generate naturally across the map. That gives you a clear reason to set up secondary outposts and haul materials back to your main base.
Power, transport, and equipment
Energy generation covers basic fuel burners and large biofuel setups. For moving items, fluids, and power, the mod includes dedicated pipes. There's only one pipe tier for each type. Pipe networks cache their connections and only send network updates when needed, keeping block entities to machine connection points.
You can also craft electric tools, powered armor, and cybernetic player augmentations. Particle accelerators and colorable machines provide extra options for your base. Real talk, for building, you get animated doors and connected decorative blocks.
