Trying to wrap my (admittedly long and complex) mod post garbles it into something entirely different. Everything except the spoilers has been replaced with
Choose the way your tomorrow wants to be.
Just think about it. How do you want tomorrow to go? Think about it hard enough and it just might happen.
Tinkers' Construct is a mod about putting tools together in a wide variety of ways, then modifying them until they turn into something else. The tools never disappear and can be named and changed to your heart's desire. Once you make them, they're yours forever. Any world generation included in the mod is more efficient, but not required to progress.
Tinkers' Construct is a tech companion to Natura. The mods play well separately, but work best together.

Mod review by TheBeastCubed:
To get started you need a few tables and a place to put your patterns.
You build, modify, and repair tools like so.
1.2 brings a new multi-block structure for turning metals into liquids.
It can be automated with redstone and hoppers.
The mod also brings a few mobs to the game, like this fellow here.
Armor has started, but is very unfinished and would need to be done by the community. Here's your hints:
And that's all there is to it! There's a lot of depth in the system, and most things are documented in-game. Anything that isn't is left for you to explore.
FAQ
Q: My tool places torches/blocks on right-click, is this a bug?
A: This is intentional. And useful.
Q: I'm playing with Aether 2 or Galacticraft and I can't see the armor tab, help!
A: Press "O"
Q: What other mods does this support?
A: Anything with copper and bronze ingots can be turned into tools. XyCraft aluminum and TConstruct aluminum are equivalent, and IC2 has an electric modifier. Metallurgy is supported through an addon - check the downloads section.
Q: What mods are incompatible with this?
A: MultiMine prevents the broad area on Tier 2 tools from working. GregTech may not work at all. OptiFine and any bukkit envrionment (MCPC+, BukkitForge) aren't supported either.
Q: I have a bug with 1.5.2. Can you fix it?
A: Report 1.5.2 bugs here.
Q: I can't update because of other mods/modpacks!
A: This is a personal choice that we will not cater to. If you're going to use a modpack, you accept all responsibility for updating mods yourself, like you normally would. Likewise, not updating because other mods haven't updated does not mean we have to support you.
It's unfair to ask us to fix bugs that have already been fixed in later versions of Minecraft.
Q: I gave myself some tools from /give or NEI and it crashes!
A: You have given yourself a default tool with no data. The tool really needs the data. Pull one out of the creative menu or put the parts together normally.
Installation and Troubleshooting
First, make sure you've downloaded and installed Minecraft Forge. (alternate) TConstruct goes in the mods folder inside .minecraft or your server's mods folder.
If you're still having problems: run this Error Test and post the results on this thread.

I found a new word, thanks Diyo! I never knew "Feveloper" was a word. Also, I don't see the problem, other than that. Are you referring to the centric text, or is that purpousful?
I posted something similar here but I think it got removed.. or I just can't see it anymore. I've been struggling, trying to control the formatting on my posts, and it literally can't keep it's hands off the formatting - even if I post clean code directly into the BBCode editor. I'm at a loss at how to change my thread post.
Thank you for the feedback, we're aware that there are some oddities with the WYSIWYG editor and we will be investigating. We're very sorry for the inconvenience! If you need to make urgent adjustments to your post please Contact Us and I'll get to helping you as soon as possible.
Suggestions should be directed to the suggestion thread.
