AllFactory: Where GregTech Meets Factorio-Style Automation
If you have ever dreamed of merging the intricate machinery of GregTech with the relentless automation loop of Factorio, then AllFactory is the Minecraft modpack you never knew you needed. Built as a passion project by a creator who simply wanted to play Factorio inside Minecraft, this pack throws you into a world where every resource must be processed, every chain optimized, and every multiblock structure fine-tuned to achieve the ultimate research goal.
What Exactly Is AllFactory?
AllFactory is a cleanroom-style expert modpack centered entirely around GregTech’s vast industrial ecosystem. The pack was assembled quickly but thoughtfully, stripping away unnecessary fluff to keep the focus on building massive processing lines. The quest system is currently a work in progress, so do not be alarmed by a single Groovy error on launch—the author assures it is harmless. The true heart of the pack lies in its custom multiblock drills, seamless integration of supporting mods, and the sheer scale of automation required to reach the final research.
Unlike many kitchen-sink packs, AllFactory does not hold your hand. You are expected to understand basic GregTech mechanics or be willing to learn them fast. The reward, however, is a deeply satisfying experience where every new machine tier feels like a genuine breakthrough. And if you are looking for a way to jump right in without wrestling with manual installations, you can grab the pack through the foxygame.net launcher, a modern and flexible tool that lets you download mods and modpacks directly from its built-in menu, saving you the usual configuration headaches.
The Core Gameplay Loop
From the moment you spawn, the objective is clear: automate everything. You begin with primitive steam-powered machines and slowly climb the voltage ladder through LV, MV, HV, and beyond. Along the way, you will craft increasingly complex components, set up ore processing chains, and design sprawling assembly lines that would make any factory builder proud.
The pack includes custom multiblock drills for resource production, which means you will not spend hours branch-mining. Instead, you build and power these massive structures to extract ores automatically. This shifts the challenge from manual labor to logistics—how do you transport, process, and store all those resources efficiently? Curvy Pipes is available as an optional addition for those who enjoy visual fluid and item transport, but it is not mandatory.
Key Features That Define AllFactory
- GregTech-centric progression: The entire pack revolves around GregTech’s machines, materials, and voltage tiers. You will need to master chemical reactors, assemblers, and blast furnaces.
- Custom multiblock drills: These specialized structures let you tap into infinite ore veins without the grind, pushing you toward full automation early on.
- Streamlined supporting mods: Every extra mod included is there to smooth out the GregTech experience, from inventory management to construction tools.
- Component assemblers from Tech Transcendance: With permission from the original creator Terra, the pack features both the standard and steam component assemblers, adding a unique twist to early-game crafting.
- Optional Curvy Pipes: If you love watching items snake through transparent tubes, this aesthetic mod is ready to go but entirely optional.
- Cleanroom design philosophy: The pack intentionally avoids bloat, keeping the mod count low and the performance high, so you can focus on the factory.
Getting Started Without the Overwhelm
The first few hours in AllFactory can feel intimidating, especially if you are new to GregTech. Start by gathering basic resources and setting up a steam boiler and a simple macerator. Pay close attention to the tooltips—GregTech provides detailed information on every material and machine. The quest book, even in its early state, offers a loose direction, but you will often need to rely on your own ingenuity.
One piece of advice: do not ignore the custom multiblock drills. They are your ticket to a steady supply of ores. Build one as soon as you can power it, and you will never look back. Also, keep in mind that the final research requires automating an enormous variety of components, so design your factory with scalability in mind from the very beginning.
Tips for a Smooth Automation Journey
- Use item conduits or pipes to move materials between machines. Even without Curvy Pipes, basic GregTech covers provide solid transport options.
- Batch-craft common components like circuits, motors, and pumps. You will need thousands of them.
- Set up dedicated processing lines for each major material—iron, copper, tin, and so on—to avoid bottlenecks.
- Explore the Tech Transcendance assemblers early; they can simplify complex recipes and save space.
- Keep a notebook or digital planner to track your production chains. The complexity ramps up quickly.
Why AllFactory Stands Out
What makes AllFactory special is its unapologetic focus on a single vision. It does not try to be everything for everyone. It is a pack for players who love the methodical puzzle of GregTech and the addictive rhythm of Factorio’s factory building. The custom drills remove the tedium of mining, while the cleanroom approach ensures you spend more time engineering and less time troubleshooting mod conflicts.
The inclusion of Tech Transcendance components adds a layer of novelty, and the fact that the creator obtained permission shows a respect for the modding community that is always refreshing. If you ever want to support the pack’s development, you can start a server through WABBANODE and use the code MOUSEPACKS for a discount, but that is entirely optional. The pack itself remains free and accessible.
Final Thoughts
AllFactory is a love letter to industrial automation, wrapped in the familiar blocks of Minecraft. It demands patience, planning, and a willingness to dive deep into GregTech’s intricate systems. Yet the payoff—a fully automated factory humming with activity, culminating in the final research—is immensely rewarding. Whether you are a seasoned GregTech veteran or a Factorio fan looking for a new challenge, this pack delivers a focused, high-quality experience that will keep you tinkering for weeks.
So fire up your launcher, grab the pack, and start building the factory of your dreams. Just remember: automate early, automate often, and never underestimate the power of a well-placed conveyor belt.
