====== Basic Machines ======

The Basic Machines category is the backbone of early Slimefun progression. It teaches the core crafting stations and processing blocks you use before you move into large-scale automation.

This branch is also the gateway to [[energy_and_electricity|Energy and Electricity]], [[cargo_management|Cargo Management]], and GPS-based machines.
If you want a more guide-style route through this stage, start with [[factory_bootstrap|Factory Bootstrap Guide]] and [[alloys_and_core_tech|Alloys and Core Tech]].

===== What to expect from this category =====

  * New crafting stations that do more than a vanilla crafting table.
  * Manual and semi-manual processing machines for ores, dusts, and components.
  * The first steps toward fully automated resource production.

===== Recommended first milestones =====

  - Build an [[enhanced_crafting_table|Enhanced Crafting Table]] as soon as you can.
  - Add utility stations like the [[juicer|Juicer]] and [[armor_forge|Armor Forge]] when their recipes start to matter.
  - Move into larger projects like the [[industrial_miner|Industrial Miner]] once you need steady resource income.
  - Upgrade to the [[advanced_industrial_miner|Advanced Industrial Miner]] when the basic miner starts to feel slow.

More Basic Machines pages are being rewritten into proper DokuWiki syntax and updated player guidance. If a machine page is still missing, use the in-game Slimefun Guide for the exact recipe and unlock path while this wiki pass continues.
