I am playing the “All The Mods 10” modpack on a server with some friends. After spending time making nice looking factories in Satisfactory, I’m attempting to walk the line between functional and aesthetically pleasing with this base. The main floor is the workshop and warehouse. The second floor is a living space, and the addition on the left is a library.

Inside, I try to keep things organized. There are a LOT of different items in ATM10, so organization is key. Thankfully, a lot of these chests can be upgraded to expand their storage capacity. The drawers are useful for massive stacks of single items.

Image

This is where the beginning of the workshop area is at. I eventually had to expand to make room for more machines.

Image

The main workshop area. The grids along the walls are electrical connections. The mess of pipes in the back is an automated ore processing area utilizing Mekanism. Put ores in one side, 4x the ingots come out of the other end. To hit the next tier for 6x and 8x ore multiplication, I’m going to need a lot of diamonds.

Image

This is the main power area. Solar, geothermal, and wind energy are my main source of power. I also have a biofuel setup that converts excess crops and seeds into fuel, and then burns it for supplemental energy. Eventually, I will be able to take advantage of nuclear power, but my needs are nowhere near that point right now.

Image

Windmills, and an overview of the base. Yay, jetpacks.

Image

Back inside, second floor. My cozy kitchen. I currently have a good sushi making setup going. Depending on the ingredients, it can be very filling and offer some additional short-term effects (such as rapid healing, super sprint, and fire resistance).

Image

Inside view of the library. I like to add daylighting wherever I can.

Image

This was my starter shack, now converted into a shed. Inside is a small workspace, a little bit of storage, and access to the mineshaft. I couldn’t get a decent picture since it’s a little cramped, but just picture a stairway that appears to descend to the void (-64).

Image

This is a temporary workspace for getting started in Modern Industrialization. All of these machines are steam powered. Once I can electrify them, they will be getting moved inside. The coke oven is converting coal into coke, which is helping the blast furnace produce steel and a type of synthetic oil for producing rubber. It outputs creosote as a byproduct, which is converted into lubricant for some of the other machines. The large device on the left is a steam quarry, which is currently boring a hole past bedrock into the void to collect batches of various ores.

The back yard of the main house. Gotta have a grill space.

Image

Fields of wheat, flax, coffee, carrots, cucumbers, wasabi, sesame, and soy. The lanes holding water also double as rice plots.
