Ponderous Automation
Overview
Ponderous Automation is a custom plugin found here on Omniverse Horizons. It enables players to make machines which offer additional functionality to the vanilla hoppers. There are four machines, each with its own recipe and UI. Each machine can level up, offering additional functions; this is done by spending in-game currency obtained from a multitude of sources.
