Being the first release for modern version of Rock Bottom, there are likely many issues, so proceed with caution.

That being said, here is a list of the features implemented so far, broken into categories

Rudimentary

  • Tin and Iron - Found underground in ore form, produce clusters when mined. Can be smelted into Ingots or separated into grits.
  • Alloy Smelter - Uses solid fuel to combine grits or ingots into new alloys
  • Separator - Separates slag from ore clusters, producing grits. Grits can be smelted into ingots, allowing you to double your ores when compared to smelting them directly.
  • Coke Oven - Converts Coal into Coal Coke, but takes a very long time. Coal Coke has twice the burn time of regular coal.

Steel Machinery

  • Bronze and Steel - created using the Alloy Smelter. Bronze requires three copper and one tin, whereas steel requires one iron and one coal coke.
  • Bucket - used to pick up fluids for transportation. Fluids can be inserted into machines that accept them by right-clicking while holding a full bucket.
  • Assembly Station - used to construct advanced machinery. Machines created with it have varying stats based on the materials used.

Utilities

  • Bronze Tools - Bronze Pickaxes can mine Iron Ore, allowing you to progress to more advanced equipment.
  • Steel Tools - These are considerably faster than Bronze and in the future will be needed to mine tougher ores.
  • Iron Lamp - This is a vanilla item, but with RockSolid you can now craft them using iron.
  • Creative Energy Source - Only obtainable through cheats, but provides unlimited power for testing.

Transportation

  • Wrench - used to configure and disassemble all types of conduits. Right-click on a conduit to edit its settings.
  • Item Conduit - transports items to the nearest inventory that will accept them in the conduit network
  • Energy Conduit - distributes electricity through the conduit
  • Gas Conduit - Transfers gasses
  • Fluid Conduit- Moves fluids between machines and reservoirs

Electrical Age

  • Pump - When submerged in a liquid and provided with power, it sucks liquids up into its internal buffer.
  • Boiler - Converts Water into Steam by heating it with a solid fuel.
  • Turbine - Converts Steam into Electricity.
  • Battery - Stores a lot of Electricity.
  • Electric Separator - Like a Separator, but faster and uses power instead of solid fuel.
  • Electric Furnace - A much quicker furnace powered by electricity.
