As far as I can tell (By sheer guessing and spending 20 minutes looking through NEI. Why on Earth is there almost no useful information about how to do things in this mod?), the way you create concrete is by combining one of the many recipes for concrete into a Mixer, of which the one I have is a Ceramic Mixing Bowl. This then gets you Concrete Dust.
Then you combine that with Water in a Mixer to get Wet Concrete, after that you then use a Dryer (of which I also have) to get the final Concrete. I did manage to get the Wet Concrete, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not get it out of the Ceramic Mixing Bowl. I tried using a bucket, nope. I tried looking for some kind of faucet in case thatâs a thing for some reason, it does exist, but does nothing in this situation.
Measuring Pot and click on the border area of the Mixing Bowl, not the center of it, this makes sure it can distinguish between âthrow Container into Bowlâ and âinteract with Fluids to/from Bowlâ.
Thatâs sad that there is no detailed wiki or else.
You can guess from a few recipes (you wonât check 1300 pages of them) that to make concrete, a simple rock dust (those that canât be processed to its components), a calcite rock dust (e.g. limestone, marble) or calcite itself and ash are combined.
Please, donât use ceramic bowl for making concrete. You will loose your mind moving things back and forth from it if youâre going to make a meaningful amount of concrete. Iâd suggest to wait for the mixer; you will need it anyway.
The problem with using a Mixer is that itâs nearly impossible to get. The only actually attainable recipe for Chromium (the Sluice one in the Centrifuge) is ridiculously unlikely to get even a small amount of Chromium. The rest all require either impossible molten materials, or impossible Chromium based materials.
I know thereâs probably a much easier way of getting Chromium, but NEI does not tell me how, and Google gives me nonsense.
Chromium can be gotten relatively easily: one of your options is to find chromite ore deposit or to get it as byproduct from other ores, then process it as usual; the other way is to get it from centrifuging sluice sand, I did this in my previous run, but Iâd suggest you to do the legwork to find chromite as youâll definitely need it in large amounts later on.
You can get some from it. It roughly yields 10 units of chromium per 100,000 liters of sluice juice. You can make 90 units of stainless steel with it.
Nope, it yields about 1 unit of chromium per 100,000 liters.
The problem is that I cannot figure out what spawns where, because thereâs no information on that. I am not going to be aimlessly branch mining 5k blocks across a gigantic Desert, with no information if Chromite even spawns at the level Iâm mining at, let alone if it spawns in Deserts whatsoever.
Yes, they indicate corresponding ore directly below it. Itâs better to keep track of what you pick up. I mark every ore bearing stone (unless theyâre very close to each other) in my minimap.
I donât have a minimap mod installed. Iâm using purely the base config provided in the Downloads section. I should probably install a few QoL mods on top of that.
Itâs okay, I didnât know that at first either. I recommend killing some cows, squids, chickens, and gathering some reeds to make a book you can write in so you can mark where you found the rocks.
Literally below. When a rock is spawned it looks down in its same column and then âbecomesâ the same type of ore as the first one it hits when it scans down. There might be other ores further down, but that will at least be the top-most one in that column.
