SeptemTweaks is a highly opinionated and integrated Forge mod for Minecraft version 1.7.10 that will be used in the SeptemCraft modpack. This mod introduces linear ore progression consisting of Vanilla, Thermal, and Tinkers ores, as well as restricts the usage of tools to solely Tinker Tools. Additionally, a ton of recipe modifications for Thermal Expansion machinery and Tinkers alloys are included to make processing progression feel meaningful.

Though this mod is not intended to be used outside of the SeptemCraft modpack, you may do so if you find these modifications something you might enjoy experiencing. This mod includes integrations/support for:

• Flint Instead of Wood
• Clay Bucket
• BuildCraft
• Minefactory Reloaded
• Extra Utilities
• Applied Energistics 2
• Nether Ores
• Biomes 'O Plenty
• Chisel
• Pam's Harvestcraft

NOTE: This mod is in BETA and does not have all features implemented

Ore progression is achieved by modifying the Tinkers Tools' material properties (harvest level) to align with changes to the ores generated by vanilla minecraft and other mods. This means that tools, specifically Pickaxes, outside of Tinkers Construct might not work with this mod and should be considered incompatible with mods that add pickaxes.

Requirements

SeptemTweaks is a Forge mod for 1.7.10 that depends on the following mods:

• Thermal Expansion
• Tinkers Construct

Features

Features implemented in current release:

• Vanilla tools disabled (compatibility for non-tinkers pickaxes not added yet)
  • Ore progression drastically changed:
  • Stones
  • Woods
  • Coal, Tin, Copper, Aluminum
  • Bronze, Iron, Invar, Electrum, Gold, Redstone, Silver, Lead, Lapis
  • Steel, Diamonds, Obsidian, Emeralds
  • Alumite, Cobalt, Ardite
  • Manyullyn
  • Platinum, Certus Quartz
• Thermal Expansion recipes modified to be in-line with ore progression and more resource intensive
• Tinkers Construct alloy changes for Alumite and Signalum
• Vanilla furnace cannot smelt ores

Features in progress for next release:

• Thermal Dynamo recipes modified
• Thermal Energy cell recipes modified
• Thermal Strongbox and Cache blocks removed
• Thermal Machinist's workbench recipe modified, removal of hardened/reinforced/resonant tiers
• Thermal Tesseract recipe modified
• Thermal Satchel recipes modified
• Thermal Augment recipes modified
• Thermal Flux Capacitor recipes modified
• Thermal Armour/Tool recipes removed regardless of CoFH configs
• Tinkers Tool Forge recipes removed except Bronze blocks as the construction base

Recommendations

• Flint Instead of Wood
  • The entire Wood -> Stone progression would be skipped without disabling punching trees. While still possible, it's highly recommended to include this mod
• Clay Bucket
  • Since getting Iron requires a Tinkers Smeltery, you might not be able to fuel the smeltery without a bucket. By all means, if you use another tank/fluid collection mod, use that instead
• BuildCraft
  • Adjusts various recipes to include some BuildCraft items/blocks
• Extra Utilities
  • Adjusts various recipes to include some ExtraUtilities items/blocks
• Minefactory Reloaded
  • Adjusts various recipes to include some MFR items/blocks

Ore Progression shown with the various blocks possible to mine at the given tool material. Blocks on the far-right of a tier indicate the material that's used to mine blocks in the next tier below. For example, Bronze in the stone tier is capable of mining every block in the Bronze tier as well as the tiers before.
