CoreFactory

 # CoreFactory **Research. Refine. Rule.** Build power grids, pipe oil and water, automate whole production lines, and then aim artillery at the other side of the map. CoreFactory turns Paper into a factory game with a long tech tree and the strongest explosives you have ever seen on a server. ---    ## Why you'll love it - **Progression that matters.** Research unlocks machines, items and explosives step by step. Every tier is a goal. - **Real automation.** Belts, pickers, splitters and crafters move items. Build a line once, let it run. - **Explosives with personality.** 42 TNT types, from a handheld charge to nuclear warheads, each with its own effect. - **A full custom look.** A generated resource pack gives every item, machine and blast its own texture. - **Plays nicely with your server.** WorldGuard regions and GriefPrevention claims are respected. --- ## What's inside | Area | What you get | | --- | --- | | **Explosives** | 42 TNT types: fragmentation, incendiary, chain reaction, the 4D bomb, and nuclear warheads with a PIN lock. | | **Power** | Pylons up to level V, generators (charcoal, petroleum, diesel, nuclear, solar, wind), accumulators up to level V. | | **Oil and water** | Petroleum drills, tubes, a crude oil refinery that makes diesel, water pumps up to level V, pipes and splitters. | | **Mining** | Electric drills for ore and oil, and deposits for iron, copper, gold, diamond and more. | | **Logistics** | Belts, pickers up to level V, splitters, vertical belts that carry items up and down, and crafters you can feed by belt. | | **Production** | Lab machines with five upgrade levels, each faster than the last. Dozens of recipes. | | **Artillery** | Seven piece levels, nine shell types, magazines, and a Command Center with a live map wall. | | **Turrets** | Machine gun, laser, and railgun turrets. Upgrade them, set friends, and let them defend your base. | | **Friends** | Share your machines with friends. They can use and break what you placed. | | **Guide** | A tutorial book, the `/cf gui` catalogue with recipes, and achievements for every milestone. | --- ## Requirements | Requirement | Details | | --- | --- | | **Server** | Paper 26.3 (built and tested). Purpur 26.3 is supported in principle but not yet verified in game. | | **Java** | Java 25 | | **World editing** | **WorldEdit** or **FastAsyncWorldEdit**. Either one. Required. | | **Resource pack host** | A public URL that serves the CoreFactory resource pack zip. See below. | | **Optional** | WorldGuard, GriefPrevention, ResourcePackManager | ### The resource pack CoreFactory's textures ship in a zip that players download when they join. You need to host that zip somewhere players can reach over HTTP, such as your own web server, a file host, or a CDN. Then point your server at it in `server.properties`: ```properties resource-pack=https://your-host.example/CoreFactory-ResourcePack.zip resource-pack-sha1= ``` A very well recommended and functional way to host your resource pack is by using **ResourcePackManager** plugin! Install ResourcePackManager, and add the following file inside the ResourcePackManager/compatible_plugins/ folder: **corefactory.yml** And paste inside it the following contents: ```yaml isEnabled: true pluginName: CoreFactory zips: true localPath: CoreFactory/pack/pack.zip cluster: false ``` Then add '- CoreFactory' into the priorityOrder from ResourcePackmanager's config.yml The full steps for regular hosting and resource pack info are in the [resource pack guide](https://github.com/LB45440078L/CoreFactory/blob/main/docs/RESOURCE_PACK.md). --- ## Install in three steps 1. **Download** `CoreFactory-Paper-1.0.0.jar` and drop it in `plugins/`. 2. **Install** WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit, then start the server once. 3. **Host** the resource pack zip and set its URL, as above. Restart. Then run `/cf gui` in game. Start with `/cf book` for the guide. --- ## A taste of the tech tree ``` Pylons and power -> Oil and water -> Lab machines -> Automation | | Artillery <- Command Center <- Turrets <- Railgun ``` Every node takes research packs. Packs come from the research console, and deeper nodes need rarer packs. Plan your base, then unlock what you need. --- ## Documentation - [Player guide](https://github.com/LB45440078L/CoreFactory/blob/main/docs/PLAYER_GUIDE.md) - [Mechanics](https://github.com/LB45440078L/CoreFactory/blob/main/docs/MECHANICS.md) - [Configuration](https://github.com/LB45440078L/CoreFactory/blob/main/docs/CONFIGURATION.md) - [Commands and permissions](https://github.com/LB45440078L/CoreFactory/blob/main/docs/COMMANDS_AND_PERMISSIONS.md) --- ## Licence CoreFactory is licensed under the **PolyForm Strict License 1.0.0**.

Most of these end-game thermonuclear weapons have massive destructive power. Although the plugin tries its best to balance safety, game mechanics, and optimization, we do not hold liability for any sort of damage, server destruction, lag, crashes, or problems caused by the implementation of this plugin and its powerful new items. It is up to you to control your players and what they can do, as well as to know your own server setup and associated risks. Use this software responsibly. > **Build your factory. Then blow it up.**
