TechAge-Guide

TechAge is a technical mod, forum github

Players advance thru 5 ages: Iron Age, Steam Age, Oil Age, Present, Future (TA1..TA5).

There is a Quick Start Guide, but it doesn't go into much details.

Overview

There are a few special materials:

  • TA1-Iron (in addition to regular steel)
  • Charcoal - for making TA1-Iron
  • sieved gravel
  • usmium - produced from sieved gravel
  • baborium
  • Oil - to make bitumen, naphta, fueloil, gasoline, propan
  • Bauxite - for making aluminium
  • carbon fiber

The first key concept is the gravel-sieve, that produces most kinds of ore from gravel (plus sieved gravel).
Also special hammers (and grinders) to make gravel from stone or cobblestone.

The next key concept is TA1-Iron that is used in most techage-parts.
It is produced in a special melting-pot, that needs charcoal as fuel.
Charcoal is produced in charcoal-piles, from wood.

The next key concepts are the gravel-rinser, e-fab2 and steam-engine:

  • gravel-rinser produces usmium from sieved gravel (plus sand and some copper-ore).
  • e-fab2 uses usmium to produce vaccuum-tubes
  • steam-engine to provide mechanical power for the e-fab, grinder, gravel-rinser (and other machines)

Almost all TA3-parts need a vaccuum-tube.

TA3 is mostly about oil and aluminium:

  • finding oil needs an oil-explorer
  • drilling oil needs an pumpjack (plus drillbits, pipes, tanks and power)
  • processing oil needs a refinery (plus ...)

Aluminium (and other stuff) is produced with a chemical reactor, and a TA3-industrial-furnace (or TA4-heater).

...

e-fab3 uses silicon-wafers to produce WLAN-chips.

Almost all TA4-parts need a WLAN-chip.

...

Almost all TA5-parts need an AI-chip.
To produce AI-chips, the player must have XP (experience-points).
Those XP are gained/produced by the collider.

A collider needs lots of aluminium, power and isobutan.

Isobutan is produced with a chemical reactor, eg. from gasoline.

TA5 finally has some nice toys, such as the fusion-reactor and the flightcontroller.

Some supporting equipment:

  • quarry - automated digging
  • grinder - grind stone to gravel
  • tubes, pusher, distributor - move materials around
  • TA-InfoTool
  • signbot
  • LUA-controller ... for automation
