Steak and Fries factory

[MikW]

Is steak and fries a good lifetime supply of food? I want to make a small factory of it. I have one cloche making potatoes and a WIP automatic cow farm, with multiple autocrafting setups.

Is this worth it?

I think, if you're using the same mods they had, that Direwolf20 and Soaryn117 found that "Beef Wellington" was the most 'nourishing' food for the least amount of effort, both for players and in energy production. They've fully automated it several times.

I'm personally partial to Pam's Extreme Chili, which is a good balance of food/satiation. I know it used to be 9/9 in 1.7, but I'm not sure how it's changed. I do know you can't grow Pam's crops in Cloche's in 1.10 though, at least not in Beyond.

If all you're using it for is food (not burning it for power or feeding it to a plant for Mana), any small factory should meet your needs. The best way to look at the project is asking yourself if it will be fun to do. If its enjoyable to build, it doesn't actually matter if it's the most efficient setup available. I'm as guilty of min/maxing as the next guy, but sometimes you just need to have fun.

A what factory? What is it exactly?

nether wings from pam's harvestcraft. They're basically hot wings but use blaze powder for that extra spicy heat. Ironically, I was making a thread about it over in the community showcase forums

Cool. In Skyfactory I made a chicken pot pie factory. I produced over 2k pot pies and over 10k carrots and potatoes and over 100k salt. Completely automated but you know. 2000 × 6 saturation bars is 12000 saturation. Enough to last until the end my gameplay. So I shut it off.

Meh a tier 4 environmental tech solar array keeping my
Tier 7 Draconic Energy Core full was enough for me.

And I did that in Infinity Evolved with a mass soybean processing into a mass tofu and soy milk factory.

fair enough, I set up an 8x8 array of nether star generators in FTB beyond, WOOT farms are Uber OP. also they Nerfed Tofu, there are now specific tofu for each meat and they require more than so spices and cooking oil atleast

I've always been a fan of Stuffed Eggplant. Only a few ingredients, and no meat product to worry about. Hunger and saturation aren't maxed, but they're high enough to be useful as food, Mana gen, and Culinary Generator fodder.

Believe it or not I found a little exploit using the chicken stick hammer. I used them in mechanical users and whenever they hammer a Block there's a chance to drop raw chicken. So no meat production to worry about.

Nothing beats Extreme Chili in my experience, but automated beef is annoying.

When Direwolf20 and Soaryn117 started automating Beef Wellington they used Tofu instead of beef because it was simple and quick to automate.

Sadly, that has been nerfed. Firm tofu is no longer a meat substitute and rather is used to craft specific meat substitutes such as tofurky, however this takes seasonings like ginger and cooking oil

Cool! Today I Learned

Ugh, cooking oil. I think I'll stick with manual cow murder.

Though for easy power, it's pretty hard to beat garden salad, which is just the cooking gear, some stock and vegetables. It's not great power, but you can make a lot of it.
