Tiers and Components

QNet has five tiers. Each tier has its own casing and its own components, and from tier II on a control part that its machines need.

  • Tier I, Industrial: Industrial Casing; steel plates, rods and gears, copper wire and coils, the Machine Frame.
  • Tier II, Reinforced: Reinforced Casing; the Basic Circuit as control part, silicon, polymer sheets, the Industrial Frame, raw quantum crystals.
  • Tier III, Precision: Precision Casing; the Advanced Circuit, precision alloy, superconductor wire, the Precision Frame, the Laser Optic.
  • Tier IV, Resonant: Resonant Casing; Exotic Matter as control part, charged quantum crystals.
  • Tier V, Quantum: Quantum Casing; the Quantum Processor, the Quantum Frame, field emitters and field stabilizers.

How tiers work

  • A block never needs a component above its own tier.
  • A machine runs only recipes up to its own tier. The recipe viewers (JEI, REI, EMI) show the tier of each recipe.
  • Where a recipe would take plain metal, QNet uses the matching part instead: plates in place of iron ingots, wire in place of copper ingots.

The way up

Start with the first machines. The Induction Furnace makes steel, and the Metal Former turns it into plates, rods and gears. From these you make the Machine Frame and the Industrial Casing, and with them the tier I machines and plants. The parts of each tier come from the machines of the tier before it.
