Feylight Expansion

Quickstart

1. Search the plains for a Fallen Mech. There are three variants; explore them for Photon Cores.
2. Hunt witches, allays, and illagers for rare Feymetal.
3. Craft a transcriber and use it to gather elemental essences. For example, the [Aqua Transcriber]() makes Pure Water Essence when it touches water.
4. Try a Crystal Transcriber for Pure Earth Essence: use it while holding cobblestone, which it consumes. Its recipe is .
5. Combine Feymetal, a Photon Core, and the matching essence to craft mech control keys. For example, the [Aqua Mech Control Key]() uses water essence; the [Ember Mech Control Key]() uses fire essence. Use a key to deploy its named mech.

Overview

Feylight Expansion brings together mech exploration, essence gathering, crafted equipment, and themed building blocks. Explore structures to find rare materials, operate transcribers to collect essences, then use those resources to craft gear and mech keys.

What It Adds

• Fallen Mech structures in plains, appearing in three variants.
• Six Pure Essences: Light, Dark, Earth, Water, Fire, and Air.
• Photon Cores found in Fallen Mechs, and rare Feymetal dropped by witches, allays, and illagers.
• Transcribers that produce essences through timed or item-based interactions.
• Mechs and control keys, including elemental and other themed designs.
• Equipment and building materials, including Photon, Fey, and mech-themed blocks, weapons, tools, and armor.

Some blocks include Fey Bloom, Fey Moss, Fey Bark, Fey Leaf, Fey Stone, Fey Soil, Fey Crystal, Fey Lantern, Fey Rune, Feymetal Block, Fey Shard Block, and Feywoven Block. Photon-themed options include Photon Glass, Photon Bricks, Photon Lamp, Photon Pillar, Photon Plate, and Photon Core Block; mech parts include plating, joints, sensors, conduits, and reactor components.

How To Use

Transcribers

Place a transcriber, meet its conditions, then interact with it:

The Aqua Transcriber recipe is . The Crystal Transcriber recipe is .

Mechs

Mech control keys are named for their corresponding mechs. Craft a key, then use it to deploy that mech. The available designs range from elemental mechs such as Ember, Glacial, Terra, Zephyr, and Void to Photon Guardian, Feywood, Infernium, Storming, and Chaos models.

Crafting And Obtaining

• Search plains for Fallen Mechs to find Photon Cores.
• Defeat witches, allays, and illagers for a chance to obtain Feymetal.
• Gather essences with the transcribers; several require a specific time, nearby water, or a consumed item.
• Craft keys and other items at a crafting table. For example, the [Aqua Mech Control Key]() and [Ember Mech Control Key]() show two elemental recipes.
• Feymetal and Photon Cores also go into material crafting: makes Black Gunmetal, while makes Divine Steel.

Abilities And Mechanics

The main resource loop is built around collecting Photon Cores and Feymetal, then producing Pure Essences with transcribers. Transcriber conditions differ: some depend on day or night, one needs water nearby, and others require an item in hand. Cobblestone, coal, and wood used by the relevant transcribers are consumed.

Progression And Strategy

Start by locating a Fallen Mech and collecting a Photon Core, then gather Feymetal from hostile encounters. Set up transcribers suited to your surroundings: place the Aqua Transcriber by water, and use the Sun and Moon Transcribers at their respective times. Stockpile the essence required for the gear or mech key you want, and check each recipe before spending rare materials.
