it is free but slow bonemeal, if you need that you don't have a good enough mob trapInteresting hint. Setting up a sprinkaler on grass blocks will occasionally cause it to sprout grass and even trees. It's a good way to get seeds.

Or just don't care. It's more something to auto set up and forget.it is free but slow bonemeal, if you need that you don't have a good enough mob trap
Then you're back to ~infinite resources. So is the challenge getting there?

but infinite free lava...Solving food. Conquering the Nether. Creating systems to complete all the quests. Doing it without lava power (but that applies to all the packs...)
Is available in every pack, same with infinite free charcoal. Both fuels are boring and should be avoided for maximum enjoyment, IMO.but infinite free lava...

You can also use Alumite in the High Oven, but it isn't as effective as Charcoal. I end up viewing Lava and Charcoal as crafting ingredients, and only making them for recipes I can't make any other way.Definately. The only reason I have lava generation set up at all it to fuel smelteries and for obsidian production; I made one magmatic dynamo to power my pulverizer early on, but that got moved into a chest as soon as I could supply better options. Currently powering my setup on energized glowstone/blaze powder in a bank of reactant dynamos, fed by a cryotheum/glowstone generator and my darkroom mob farm feeding essance to an autospawner for blazes.
Will have to set up charcoal gen soon for the high oven, though, but more raw plastic for AE is something I want anyways, so a rubber tree farm will manage both of those as a good use of the rubber logs.
Anyone know what quests need to be completed to unlock "The End" part of the book.
AS seems too grindy for my tastes. I mean, once you have enough food going, the rest is just antics. Build up to your first igneous extruder + pulverizer. Run that all with the free lava you get from EN crucibles.
AFK for a few days and come back. Would be better if you can get AE going first.

Just pour it in a 1x1 hole, don't spread it out all over, it doesn't work like pink slimesI've not managed to get anything to spawn from my slime bucket. I've built out a large grassed area over in the plains/swamp biome area including a nice looking pond so I thought I'd try emptying out the slime bucket in that area. I knocked out a few torches too. I got lots of green slimes spawning but no blue ones.

I did. Apologies, tired and frustrated with computer not working properly. I believe the Alumentum has a similar burn duration to a block of charcoal, but does not increase temperature as fast. I think it is likely better than a single piece of charcoal, and probably the more efficient fuel option. I would need to do more testing to be certain.Do you mean Alumentum? If so, that is something I did not know. Might be interesting to tinker around with that, though if it's notably less efficient, might be kind of pointless turning charcoal into alumentum to burn at an inferior rate. Could use it as a way to use up coal from sifting, but I prefer to reserve that for turning into pyrotheum.

Thanks for doing that research!I dug into the code a bit, and from what I can see, and a bit of math, alumentum is about double the efficiency of individual charcoal, and about 5/6th that of charcoal blocks, based off of resources needed to make it. The blocks really do offer a substantial boost; there's really no reason not to use them in favor of normal charcoal. That said, I'll probably still go with alumentum, just for the fun of building the system.
