Description

Ars Technica Banner

... is a content addon mod. What Ars Creo does for integration, Ars Technica suppliments with addition; it adds a bunch of (mostly Create-related) Glyphs, tools and a new Armor Set. Ultimately Ars Technica aims to allow you to manually execute different transmutation type recipes (crushing, pressing, polishing etc.) via glyphs, on the spot, to complement your automatic factory. Scroll down for further information.

Dependencies

You need Ars Nouveau, Curios and Create to use this mod.

Glyphs

Whirl glyph Obliterate glyph Press glyph

Other glyphs:

Pack: Condenses identical items, crafting them into 2x2 recipes. Augment for 3x3, Dampen for 1x1
Carve: Shapes identical items, crafting them into stairs. Augment for walls, Dampen for slabs
Insert: Inserts nearby items into nearby containers in a medium radius where this spell is activated. The range may be expanded with AOE, and Split will distribute items evenly. Using item frames for filters, like with Starbuncles, is supported.
Polish: Refines items into their polished variants (sandpaper polishing)
Telefeast: Consumes the first edible/potion, or some amount of liquid, found in the container/tank this was cast on. Can be tweaked to work differently.

Equipment/other

Runic Spanner: An upgrade to the Wrench from Create. This will allow you to set the cooldown for Runes and Relays by right-clicking on them, as well as picking up turrets, pedestals and containment jars by shift-right-clicking.
Thread of Pressure: Gives the same capabilities as wearing a (Create) back tank would. Refills air over time * Spy Monocle: A minified version of the Spyglass which can be worn on the Head curio slot. Uses the same hotkey as the Alchemist's Crown (G by default).
Focus of Transmutation: which increases Luck, improves Whirl processing speed and doubles chance-based item outputs from Haunting and Washing
Source Motor: Converts source to kinetic energy. You can set the RPM which scales with the source consumption - along with a SU-to-RPM ratio which also affects source consumption.
pocket_factory: A music disc that can be found in simple dungeons.
New XP gems: of size 48xp and 192xp
Liquid source heated mixing recipe: only when starbunclemania is installed (optional)
