Ancient Warfare is no longer being actively developed, and may contain problems and bugs in its current form. I have also heavily modified some of the recipes for Ancient Warfare, because at its most prestigious level the mod can grant powerful means of automation and manpower.
Ancient Warfare allows you to craft NPCs, which you can assign to do work for you from farming crops, cutting down trees or killing monsters. It is a complex mod, you are advised to do proper research at their PDG Guide or at their wiki before venturing into the mod.
Harder OresHarder Ores is a part of a series of mods called Reasonable Realism. The purpose is to make normal resource gathering more challenging and more interesting. Harder Ores in particular redistributes the way ores are generated underground. Instead of small pockets evenly distributed as in Vanilla Minecraft, now ores spawn in underground veins. These veins branch out from a motherload, which contains a very large amount of ores. So by finding a small ore vein, you can follow it back to its motherload and that should sustain you for a while. Another additon is Indicator flowers, which spawn above the ores in the surface world and can help you prospect for the specific ore type you need.
Railcraft Version 9.12.2.0Railcraft is a massive overhaul focused on minecarts, rails and machines. It introduces special minecarts, fuel, ways to transport liquid, custom world ores, chunk loaders, engines, steam and far too much to list here. Do keep in mind that some of the features of Railcraft were built with other industry mods in mind, and those parts have no proper function in Hinterfall.
It is recommended you look through their wiki or the Railcraft Blog to find out details about the different devices and options of the mod.
TreecapitatorTreecapitator allows you to cut down an entire tree by breaking just one of the bottom blocks. It only reads something as a tree if it's several logs, with leaves at the top. It only works if using axe tools. Breaking a log by hand will still only break the one block only. The total time it takes to break every single block of the tree is the time it takes to break the single bottom piece, so it's not faster per say - but a hell of a lot more convinient! It will also ruin your axe, since the wear and tear of all the log blocks is applied at once to the axe.
