My girlfriend actually made a script for Ex Nihilo if you want me to send it to you so that I could use it. It modifies the recipe for the Sieve to be craftable(which I imagine you've probably already done?) and adds the different metals to the correct gravel, and minerals to sand.

If, for example, it was set so that types of stone that would normally be able to contain a certain resource(Just as an example, Malachite from Marble), and you have found a Marble biome but not a vein of Malachite, you could collect a bunch of Marble stone or gravel or sand and sift through it...

You seem to have missed the part where I said it should be an alternate, a way to get things that you're missing because RNG has screwed you over, and automating them should be disabled, meaning that most of your concerns are something we've already covered. It should not be a replacement for...

"Fighting the RNG" isn't interesting or even very fun. It's 'Okay am I going to get lucky this time' and in a pack that's built at least somewhat around progression(as TFC is inherently progression-heavy), gating that behind RNG has just never really seen like a very healthy design choice.

My problem of doing that would be that you're once again leaving your progression up to the fickle whims of RNG. At least if you can Sieve for the rarer materials, you can eventually guarantee that you'll get what you need with enough effort expended- if you leave it up to worldgen or loot or...

I think I'd prefer if Nihilo was reserved for very rare materials. A way to find things like Kaolinite and Graphite, maybe some of the higher tier materials. If you made it require wood blocks(TFC wood blocks, the ones you craft with planks), that requires you to have a saw, which at least...

So... about the Ex Nihilo stuff I posted earlier then? Is it being worked on? Is a config being made? What's up with it at the moment? Currently the only way to craft them is by obtaining vanilla wood.

I noticed Ex Nihilo was added to the newest version, but I logged in to check things out and it appears that everything's still using the 'vanilla' recipes? Or is there something I'm missing to be able to make normal wood planks? After further testing it appears you can get to the Twilight...
