Create Factory Logistics: Basic Concepts and Setup

guide

Create Factory Logistics is an addon for the Create mod that introduces new ways to transport fluids within your logistical systems. It expands upon the Create mod's item packaging mechanics to include fluid handling.

Core Concepts

The primary innovation of this mod is the Jar. The Jar functions for liquids in a similar way that packages work for items. This allows fluids to be integrated into your existing logistical networks, often referred to as "frog-chain" systems.

Included Content

The mod introduces several new components to facilitate fluid logistics:

The Jar: This item is central to fluid transportation within the mod's system.
Bottler: This block is used for processing fluids. It operates similarly to a regular packager, but it specifically handles fluids.
Fluid gauge: This component allows you to incorporate fluid ingredients or outputs into your automated crafting workflows.

Crafting Recipes

To begin using Create Factory Logistics, you will need to craft its specialized blocks.

Bottler

The Bottler is crafted using the following materials:

Copper Ingot x3
copper_casing
Redstone Dust x2
Iron Ingot

Network Link

The Network Link is crafted by combining these items:

stock_link
brass_casing

The complete content list

It is a short one. The mod adds three items and three blocks, with five crafting recipes on 1.21.1 (three on 1.20.1) and a single sequenced-assembly recipe. There is no ore, no new material and no dimension — every block here plugs Create's stock network into something adjacent.

Knowing the scale saves time: if you are looking for a progression to work through, there is not one. You build the two or three blocks you need and wire them in.

Prerequisites, in order

Create, with a working stock-keeping network — nearly every recipe takes a stock link as an ingredient.
A sequenced assembly line, because the Fluid Mechanism that the gauges need is assembled rather than crafted.
Ordinary copper and brass for the casings.

Nothing in the mod substitutes for these, so a world without Create logistics already running cannot use it at all.

The cheapest thing to build first

The Bottler is the exception to all of the above: three Copper Ingot, a copper casing, an Iron Ingot and two Redstone Dust, with no stock link and no mechanism. If you want to see the mod do something before committing to the network side, build that one.
