Quickstart with technic, pipeworks, digtron

This guide assumes that the basics are already done, ie. tools, food, a safe place to live and work, and access to a mine.

A public farm, public mine, public workshop and shops that sell technic-items will make it all much more quick and easy.

Autocrafters

For crafting items with many parts, and/or mass-production.
Needs 5 iron, 2 mese, 2 plastic.

For a starter-base, i usually don't bother with tubes and injectors for automating the autocrafters,
as that will need a lot of space, and requires more resources to build.

Digtron

For digging/mining.

Parts needed:

Crate
Combined-inventory
Controller
Digger-Heads
Builder-Heads
Rotation-Axle (optional)

All those parts need a digtron-core, made of 4 iron + 1 mese-fragment.
The crate and controller need mese, and the diggerheads need diamonds.

Small designs;

Tunnel-digger, eg. with 2x3 digger-deads, plus 1 builder for placing lights
Shaft-digger, eg. 2x2 digger-deads, with builders for support-column, ladder, lights

Machines

For planting/harvesting etc.
Parts needed:

Deployer
Nodebreaker
BlnkyPlant
Tubes
Vac.Tube
SortingTubes
Nodedetector
Delayer

Powered Machines

For ore-processing:

Grinder
Furnace

LV works, but has no pipeworks-connectors, so no automation.

So, wie want MV as soon as possible.
MV also has the toolworkshop, for repairing tools.

Cables
Generator (eg. Hydro-, Solar-(
SwitchingStation
BatteryBox

Tools

Chainsaw - for harvesting whole trees, including leaves
