Description

Blank Charm is the empty Terraformer Blueprint of Industrial Craft 2 — the base item of the whole terraforming system. One Blank Charm is crafted on a plain crafting grid from 1 Electronic Circuit, 1 Advanced Circuit and 2 Redstone. The item itself stores no EU and opens no GUI: Blank Charm is a pure crafting component, closer to a blank program card than to a machine.
The value shows in combination. Placed on a crafting grid with terraforming materials, Blank Charm turns into a named blueprint: 4 Seeds yield Cultivation, 4 Sand Desertification, 4 Dirt Flatificator, 4 Snowballs Chilling, 4 Water Buckets Irrigation, and 4 Mycelium plus 4 Brown Mushrooms Mushroom. Inserted into a Terraformer, the programmed blueprint reshapes the surrounding terrain. A used blueprint can be reset on the crafting grid back into a Blank Charm, so Blank Charm marks both the start and the end of every terraforming cycle.

Field guide

How to craft and program a Blank Charm

  1. 1

    Craft the blank

    Place 1 Electronic Circuit, 1 Advanced Circuit and 2 Redstone on a crafting grid to produce 1 Blank Charm.

  2. 2

    Choose a program

    Pick the terrain effect you need: Cultivation for plants, Desertification for sand, Irrigation for water, Chilling for snow, Flatificator for flat ground, Mushroom for mycelium.

  3. 3

    Program the blueprint

    Put Blank Charm on a crafting grid with the matching materials — for example 4 Seeds for Cultivation or 4 Sand for Desertification — to get the named Terraformer Blueprint.

  4. 4

    Load the Terraformer

    Insert the programmed blueprint into a Terraformer and power the machine so it starts reshaping the terrain around it.

Reset and reuse

A used Terraformer Blueprint placed alone on a crafting grid resets into a Blank Charm, so one blank can serve several terraforming projects.
