Better With Engineering Mod is an addon for Better With Mods to bridge features of Immersive Engineering, Thermal Expansion and other tech mods. It will increase compatibility between some mods while making parts of some fit into the Better With Mods theme by making it more difficult or balanced.

Features:
Immersive Engineering:
- Hemp Fix – Makes IE Hemp drop BWM Hemp items to fix the ability to skip the millstone
- Mechanical Power:
- Makes the IE Windmill and Waterwheel properly power an axle.
- Allows axles to power Kinetic Dynamos, about 2 rf/t by default.
- Steel Rebalance:
- Allow replacing IE Steel with Soulforged Steel – disabled by default
- Also replaces the Arc Furnace vanilla cauldron with the BWM Crucible.
- Treated Wood Mini Blocks:
- Adds Siding, Moulding and Corners for the different Treated Woods
- Add High Efficiency Recipes for Treated Wood Recipes
Thermal Expansion:
- Change Induction Smelter to use Hellfire dust rather than sand for smelting melts, a temporary solution to issues with HCOre.
ExNihilo Creatio:
- Mechanical Power – Allow BWM Mechanical Power to power devices from ExNihilio such as the sifter.
