Machine Evolution System adds 26 brand-new, fully configurable, tiered machines to the game. Upgrading your machines will enhance them in a variety of ways. Through an extensive configuration system provided by Generic Mod Config Menu, you can:
  • Gain access to all machine recipes instantly, regardless of requirements.
  • Customize the crafting recipes for each machine.
  • Fully customize processing times, input and output quantities, and the quality of the final products.
  • Choose whether machines should copy the quality of the input item.
  • Boost the value of weaker products with configurable multipliers.
  • Unlock new, goal-based production bonuses as you progress.
  • Access entirely new and exciting features unique to Machine Evolution System.

The Machine Evolution System features six upgrade tiers: Steel, Gold, Diamond, Iridium, Radioactive and Prismatic. With the Upgrade Packs introduced by tlitookilakin's incredible Machine Upgrade System, players can upgrade their machines and unlock all the benefits mentioned above. The Machine Upgrade System also allows for extensive customization of the upgrade process, giving you full control over the system. You can:
  • Choose the amounts of resources needed to craft an upgrade pack, allowing you to customize the difficulty to your preference.
  • Change the resources required to craft each upgrade, giving you control over the materials you wish to use. 

Additionally, you can change the appearance of the machines. You have the option to choose from:
Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Thanks to tlitookilakin's amazing Machine Upgrade System, upgrading machines is now easier than ever. Here is how it works:
  • Unlock the base recipe. Before upgrading a machine, you must unlock its base recipe. You can check the unlocking requirements in this document.
  • Craft an Upgrade Pack. Open your Crafting Menu and craft the appropriate Upgrade Pack. To find out which one you need, simply hover over the machine.
  • Apply the Upgrade Pack. You can apply the Upgrade Pack directly on the machine placed in the world or while the machine is in your inventory.



In the Google Drive document linked above, you will find a complete list of all the new machines introduced in Machine Evolution System, including the default values and unlocking requirements. If you prefer not to leave NexusMods, the same information—excluding default values and unlocking requirements—is available in the spoiler below.

Machine Evolution System is compatible with everything, as it does not modify any vanilla assets or those of other mods, and only adds and builds on new content. It is safe to install alongside any mods and at any point in your playthrough. It will never cause any conflicts or errors.

However, I do not know if it works as intended with the Android version of SMAPI. If the frameworks that Machine Evolution System relies on—Content Patcher, Extra Machine Configs, Machine Terrain Framework, and Machine Upgrade System—work on Android, then Machine Evolution System should as well.


Machine Evolution System has been fully coded with context tags, allowing mod authors to easily integrate or exclude their content. To do so, all that is needed is to add the appropriate context tags to their items. This Google Drive document has all the answers you need.


Machine Evolution System includes all available languages in the main release. If you are a translator and would like to see MES in your language, simply go to the mod's i18n folder, translate the appropriate .json file, and send it to me via Discord (@nachonline) or email ([email protected]).

This mod currently supports: 
  • English (default).
  • Chinese - ZH (translated by CapMita). 
  • French - FR (translated by Failsyst3m).
  • Hungarian - HU (translated by xMrCheap).
  • Korean - KO (translated by ConsciouslyLazy).
  • Portuguese - PTBR (translated by DRGDarks and Bandolim).
  • Russian - RU (translated by LordKrogaton).
  • Spanish - ES (translated by me).

The German translation is currently in progress and will be included at a later date.


First of all, I would like to thank:

Machine Evolution System may seem new, but it has been six months in the making. Development took three months, followed by three more months of private beta testing. I have done my best to cater to all kinds of players and to bring something truly innovative. If you enjoy it, please consider endorsing the mod—it means a lot and helps support the ongoing work to keep it fun and exciting. Have fun!
