Getting Started with Actually Additions – Actually Additions Wiki (1.21.1)

Almost every Actually Additions machine is made from crystals, and crystals come out of a beam: the Atomic Reconstructor converts redstone, lapis, coal, iron, diamonds and emeralds that lie in front of it. Before that you need Black Quartz and some power. The mod's energy is Crystal Flux (CF); its manual says CF works together with Forge Energy without any conversion. This page follows the order Actually Additions 1.3.26 (Minecraft 1.21.1) lets you build things in.

1. Black Quartz

Black Quartz Ore generates in the world (default setting). Smelt it for one Black Quartz, or crush it later for two. Four Black Quartz make a Block of Black Quartz, the base of the decorative quartz blocks.

Black Quartz Ore → Black Quartz

Black Quartz Ore → 2 × Black Quartz

4 × Black Quartz → Block of Black Quartz

Tip Crystals can also be found: according to the manual, Crystal Clusters grow in Lush Caves and drop crystal shards when broken. Nine shards make one crystal.

9 × Red Crystal Shard → Restonia Crystal

2. Iron Casing and the Coal Generator

The Iron Casing — four iron ingots in the corners, four sticks and a Black Quartz in the middle — is the frame of most machines. The first power source is the Coal Generator: two Iron Casings, six cobblestone and a piece of coal. It burns anything a furnace can burn, only while its storage is not full, and stops while it gets a redstone signal.

4 × any Iron Ingot + 4 × any Stick + Black Quartz → Iron Casing

6 × any Cobblestone (#c:cobblestones) + 2 × Iron Casing + Coal → Coal Generator

3. The Atomic Reconstructor

The Atomic Reconstructor is an Iron Casing with four iron ingots and four redstone around it. Place it next to the generator. When powered it fires a beam in the direction it faces, and every item or block in the path that has a recipe is converted, until the beam hits a block. Simply drop the material on the ground in front of it. The manual gives 1,000 CF per shot, plus the cost of each conversion; the Reconstructor holds 300,000 CF in the default settings.

4 × any Iron Ingot + 4 × any Redstone Dust + Iron Casing → Atomic Reconstructor

Put in the beam	Crystal	CF
Redstone Dust	Restonia Crystal	40
Lapis Lazuli	Palis Crystal	40
Coal or charcoal	Void Crystal	60
Diamond	Diamatine Crystal	60
Iron Ingot	Enori Crystal	80
Emerald	Emeradic Crystal	100

The storage block of each material gives the crystal block for ten times the CF. Every other conversion and the lenses are on The Atomic Reconstructor.

4. Coils and the first machines

The Basic Coil is four Restonia Crystals around a Black Quartz; eight gold nuggets around it make the Advanced Coil. With the coils come the first machines:

4 × Restonia Crystal + Black Quartz → Basic Coil

8 × Gold Nugget + Basic Coil → Advanced Coil

Crusher — crushes an ore into two raw ores or gems, sometimes with a bonus (iron ore: two raw iron and a 20% chance of raw gold), flowers into dye and bones into bone meal. The Double Crusher works on two at once.
Powered Furnace — smelts two items at the same time on CF.
Energizer and Enervator — charge and discharge items that hold CF, such as batteries and the Drill.
Energy Laser Relay — link two relays with the Laser Wrench and they pass CF between the blocks next to them, without cables. Fluid Laser Relays do the same for fluids; Item Laser Relays carry items together with an Item Interface.

2 × Restonia Crystal + 2 × Flint + 2 × any Cobblestone (#c:cobblestones) + 2 × Basic Coil + Iron Casing → Crusher

2 × Enori Crystal + 2 × Basic Coil + 2 × any Cobblestone (#c:cobblestones) + 2 × Furnace + Iron Casing → Powered Furnace

4 × Restonia Crystal + 2 × Advanced Coil + Iron Casing → Energizer

4 × any Obsidian (#c:obsidians) + 2 × any Block of Redstone + 2 × Restonia Crystal + Advanced Coil → 4 × Energy Laser Relay

Advanced Coil + 2 × Enori Crystal → Laser Wrench

5. Empowered crystals

The Empowerer upgrades a crystal into an Empowered Crystal. It needs a Double Battery and a Display Stand to craft, and four more Display Stands to work: the crystal goes on the Empowerer, one extra item on each stand two blocks away, and the stands must be powered. A crystal takes 50 ticks and 5,000 CF, a crystal block 500 ticks and 50,000 CF. The Display Stand needs Ethetic Quartz and Ethetic Green Quartz, which the Reconstructor makes from a Block of Quartz and a Chiseled Quartz Block for 10 CF each.

Block of Quartz → Ethetic Quartz

Chiseled Quartz Block → Ethetic Green Quartz

Advanced Coil + 3 × Ethetic Green Quartz + 3 × Ethetic Quartz → Display Stand

Restonia Crystal + 5 × Enori Crystal + Advanced Coil → Single Battery

Single Battery + 5 × Enori Crystal + Advanced Coil → Double Battery

Restonia Crystal + Double Battery + 2 × Iron Casing + Display Stand → Empowerer

Empowered crystal	The four items on the stands
Empowered Restonia Crystal	red dye, Nether Brick, redstone, Brick
Empowered Palis Crystal	cyan dye, 3 Prismarine Shard
Empowered Diamatine Crystal	light blue dye, 2 Clay Ball, a clay block
Empowered Void Crystal	black dye, coal or charcoal, Flint, stone
Empowered Emeradic Crystal	lime dye, short grass, a sapling, a slimeball
Empowered Enori Crystal	gray dye, Snowball, a stone button, cobblestone

Base

Diamatine Crystal + any Light Blue Dye + 2 × Clay Ball + Clay → Empowered Diamatine Crystal

Base

Diamatine Crystal Block + any Light Blue Dye + 2 × Clay Ball + Clay → Empowered Diamatine Crystal Block

Base

Emeradic Crystal + any Lime Dye + Short Grass + any Oak Sapling (#minecraft:saplings) + any Slimeball → Empowered Emeradic Crystal

Base

Emeradic Crystal Block + any Lime Dye + Short Grass + any Oak Sapling (#minecraft:saplings) + any Slimeball → Empowered Emeradic Crystal Block

Base

Crystallized Canola Seeds + 4 × Canola Seeds → Empowered Canola Seeds

Base

Enori Crystal + any Gray Dye + Snowball + Stone Button + any Cobblestone (#c:cobblestones) → Empowered Enori Crystal

6. Power from canola

Find wild Canola Plant and plant its seeds. The Canola Press presses one Canola into 80 mB of Canola Oil, the Fermenting Barrel turns 80 mB of it into 80 mB of Refined Canola Oil in 100 ticks, and the Oil Generator burns 50 mB at a time:

Canola Plant → Canola Seeds

6 × any Cobblestone (#c:cobblestones) + Enori Crystal + Canola Plant + Advanced Coil → Canola Press

6 × any Dark Oak Log (#minecraft:logs) + Enori Crystal + Canola Plant + Wood Casing → Fermenting Barrel

6 × any Cobblestone (#c:cobblestones) + 2 × Iron Casing + Canola Plant → Oil Generator

Oil (50 mB)	CF in total	Burn time	CF per tick
Canola Oil	4,000	100 ticks	40
Refined Canola Oil	9,600	120 ticks	80
Crystallized Oil	28,000	280 ticks	100
Empowered Oil	48,000	400 ticks	120

The two upper oils are made in the world, as the manual describes: place Refined Canola Oil on the ground and throw a Crystallized Canola Seeds into it for Crystallized Oil; throw an Empowered Canola Seeds into Crystallized Oil for Empowered Oil. The seeds come from the Reconstructor (2,000 CF) and the Empowerer (1,000 CF).

Canola Seeds → Crystallized Canola Seeds

Base

Crystallized Canola Seeds + 4 × Canola Seeds → Empowered Canola Seeds

7. What to build next

More power: the Leaf-Eating Generator eats leaves around it — 300 CF per leaf, one leaf every 5 ticks, in a 7 × 7 × 7 area (default settings).
Farming: the Farmer plants and harvests in a 9 × 9 area in front of it; Greenhouse Glass above plants speeds up their growth in daylight.
Mining: the Light Blue Drill with its augments, and the Vertical Digger, which mines blocks automatically and can be set to ores only.
Items without pipes: Item Laser Relays with an Item Interface, or Phantomfaces linked with the Phantom Connector.
Coffee: the Coffee Maker brews coffee with effects from sugar, blaze powder, golden carrots and more.
