Machine Upgrades
Machine Upgrades are items that can provide buffs to most machines. There are multiple types depending on what kinds of buffs they will provide. There are slots in machines that are shaped like the machine upgrade items, and that's where the upgrades go. Not all machines support all upgrades; to know what upgrades a machine supports, use NEI: Simply open the machine's GUI, search "upgrade" and hover over the upgrades, it will show what buffs and nerfs it provides if it is compatible with the machine, and if it isn't, it will show nothing.
