I have been working with a custom variant of this for a while... would it be possible to add compression to other materials, mainly bronze, tin plate, invar, cobalt-steel, tungsten carbide and nitinol?

also not sure if you activated productivity for the cogs/coils or not, but without those, the recipes are quite underpowered... (the cogs especially need a huge productivity boost to compete)
we can compare notes if you want, you can find me on discord (pez#2787) if you want my variant...

I have upgradet this Mod to 0.16
Since I don't understand Lua, I can't add any things.
I hope my text has been translated correctly ^^
My English is not good and my Main Language is German

Fair enough, any chance of getting it to 0.17?

depending on whether you can update it to 0.17 without programming effort
little things I can do but just programming I can't do

pezzawinkle speak you only English?

unfortunately, yes.
I do have my variant in 0.17, ill take a look at your changes before I look at adding (programming) new things, ill flick them your way if you want when/if they are done.

I'm also currently updating other mods from my modpack that are not updated anymore or only temporarily not updated anymore
