This modpack has been made for all devoted miners and TechPack engineers. I am the author of all 5 mods in this pack. Enjoy!
Notes:
Compatibility: tested with Minetest stable 0.4.17.1 running Minetest Game.
Crafting: due to large amount of crafting recipes in this mod (for items and nodes themselves but also processing rules added by various machines), I strongly recommend to use inventory mod with crafting guide, like unified_inventory.
Mod list:
Modern Tables (moderntables)
Description:
Full height wooden and metal tables in two variants: simple and with storage drawer (inventory for 16 items). If Tubelib mod is installed, four-legged machine stand and 4 more tables (designed to match both plain Tubelib and BiogasMachines style) are added as well.
Wooden variants: Acacia, Aspen, Jungle, Pine, Default
Metal variants: Bronze, Tin, Copper, Steel, Gold
Crafting:
Follow examples below, using specific wood type or metal ingots.
wooden:
[wood_slab] [wood_slab] [wood_slab]
[wood] [ ] [wood]
[wood] [ ] [wood]
metal:
[ingot] [any_wood] [ingot]
[ingot] [ ] [ingot]
[ingot] [ ] [ingot]
Storage tables are crafted either from simple ones by mixing them with default chest or by putting chest in the middle slot while crafting simple table.
Dependencies: default, stairs
Optional: tubelib (TechPack)
Miner Tools (minertools)
Description:
Electronic gadgets for professional miners. Inspired by mod called MineralDetector. All are equipped with one or more dedicated Mining Chips (a special item required for crafting).
This mod provides following portable devices:
- Geothermometer - shows temperature variations of solid blocks (water and lava affect block relative temperature - water cools it down while lava warms it up); useful for underground mining to search - or avoid - flooded caverns or lava pools
- Mineral Scanner - shows ore count in area around player, selectable range (designed to be a handheld, improved version of Mineral Detector mentioned earlier)
- Mineral Finder - short range directional scanner to find nearby deposits of selected mineral; very picky, especially at angles, but driven by simple logic
- Three all-in-one versions of above devices, each one with improved characteristics

SaferLua Programming Tools (slprogtools)
Description:
Computer devices for interacting with SaferLua Controller from excellent TechPack mod.
This mod includes:
- Memory Copier - portable dongle to transfer code between SL Controllers in much simpler and faster way than copying it with text books; it has basic write protection and can be labelled in the same way books get titled
- Memory Programmer - improved Memory Copier, with read/write protection to prevent accidental memory loss and code injection functionality (works like original Programmer but for SL Controllers); it allows to replace special marker in init() section code with array containing collected Tubelib numbers, making redeployments of SL Controllers much easier (for example for mobile mining with Quarries and Pushers)
Crafting:
Memory Copier:
[ ] [steel_ingot] [ ]
[metal_ingot*] [tubelib_wlanchip] [copper_ingot]
[ ] [blue_dye] [ ]
* "silver_ingot" if moreores mod is installed, "gold_ingot" otherwise
Memory Programmer:
[memory_copier] [mese_crystal] [tubelib_addons2_programmer]
Dependencies: default, tubelib (TechPack), tubelib_addons2 (TechPack), sl_controller (TechPack)
Optional: moreores
Furnace Monitor (furnacemonitor)
Description:
This simple device allows to monitor Minetest Game standard furnace with Tubelib/Smartline devices that are capable of reading Tubelib node state (like SaferLua Controllers etc.). It gets standard 4-digit Tubelib ID number and can be referred like any other compatible read-only node. Monitor checks attached node only when status is requested so it does not consume CPU resources when idle (no timers).
Placement: place on any side of a furnace, make sure back plate of device has contact with monitored node. In case of wrong orientation use screwdriver.
Status:
- "fault" - monitor is not placed on a furnace
- "stopped" - furnace is not smelting/cooking
- "running" - furnace is smelting/cooking items
- "standby" - furnace is burning fuel but there are no items loaded
Crafting:
[ ] [tin_ingot] [ ]
[blue_dye] [copper_ingot] [tubelib_wlanchip]
[ ] [black_dye] [ ]
Dependencies: default, tubelib (TechPack), smartline (TechPack)
Biogas Machines (biogasmachines)
This mod expands TechPack with various machines that use Biogas either as a product or a power source.
If unified_inventory mod is loaded, machines register their specific processing rules via mod API and they are visible in crafting guide there.
Machines available in this mod:
- Water Freezer
Freezing machine that converts water to ice using Biogas as coolant. Water can be supplied in buckets or (if pipeworks mod is installed) through pipes. One water bucket is converted to one ice cube, in case of pipe network there is no need for any vessels however fresh water should be provided via pipelines. Empty buckets are returned as secondary products so Freezer can be easily paired with Liquid Sampler and other Tubelib machinery. - Gasifier
Machine to extract Biogas from compressed dry organic material, such as fossil fuels. Designed primarily to retrieve gas from Coal blocks (not lumps!), it allows to convert Straw blocks to Biogas units as well. Equipped with 'recipe hint bar' that shows processing ingredients, products and duration. Primary goal is to convert piles of Coal blocks to another burnable agent, better suited for use in modern machinery. Does not consume external fuel.
More recipes can be added via simple API function (see gasifier.lua source file in mod directory). - Biogas Furnace
Biogas-fuelled, Tubelib-compatible version of standard furnace. All cooking recipes apply.
Notable differences are:- fuel is used only when cooking (Biogas is not wasted)
- both input and output trays are larger allowing more items to be stored and processed; items that leave containers after cooking (for example farming:salt from TenPlus1's Farming Redo mod) do not block cooking tray; such vessels (buckets etc.) are routed to output tray as well
- uncookable items stay in input tray and are not routed anywhere
- furnace tries its best to fill output tray and can choose input items to effectively utilize remaining space there
- Biogas Jet Furnace
High performance Biogas Furnace that is 2 times faster than standard version in both item cooking time and Biogas consumption. Its output can be paired with HighPerf Pusher as it supports stack pulling. - Compactor
Compactor is a heavy mechanical press with heating, compacting and cooling systems combined into one device. It compresses stone-like resources into very dense and hard materials, mainly obsidian. Default recipes include converting cobble and compressed gravel to obsidian, flint to obsidian shards and coal blocks to diamonds. Machine consumes Biogas for heating/compacting and Ice for rapid cooling. More custom recipes can be added via API function.
