Industrial Foregoing Processing: Ores, Potions, and Utilities

guide

Beyond farms, Industrial Foregoing automates processing and utility tasks. This guide covers its conversion and utility machines.

The meat-to-ore chain

One of the mod's distinctive systems turns living resources into ores: machines convert meat into liquid meat, ferment it with an ore into raw ore meat, and then extract that back into dust of the original ore. It is an unusual but automatable route to duplicating ores.

Potions and dyes

An automatic brewer creates potions from configured ingredients when supplied with power, filling empty bottles from its internal water without consuming it. A dye machine mixes primal colours — red, green and blue — into any colour of the rainbow on request, for example combining one of each to make white.

Utility machines

Utility blocks round out the suite: a block breaker breaks and collects the block in front of it, a fluid placer and fluid collector move liquids, and an enchantment sorter and creator handle enchanted books. Every machine follows the mod's RF-powered, configurable pattern, so you can chain them into fully automated production lines.

The Dissolution Chamber carries the mod

At 48 recipes on 1.21.1 (49 on 1.20.1), the Dissolution Chamber is by a wide margin the largest processing category — more than all the other machine categories combined. If you build one machine in this mod, build that.
