There are really something bothering me in the early game…

No Tin

I’ve been exploring all day long for Tin ore veins but there’s no trace of any cassiterite or kesterite, I even need to cheat to get some tin.To be frank, it is very frustrating when you searched for a long time and got nothing at all.

Too Many Stone Dust

When processing sluice juice using the centrifuge, I have to deal with tons of stone dusts. I wonder if there’s any tricks to filter them out and dispose them to a garbage bin?

Annealed Copper

when I look into NEI for Annealed Copper’s recipe,I found the threshold temp is 2800K and I have blown up two metorite steel crucibles for making it.
I also checked out the smelter method, but the recipe for a smelter requires a tungsten crucible.

Coke Oven

making a coke oven requires clay dust, but I don’t know how to make clay into dust form. I’ve tried using a bronze crusher but there’s no response.

Weird why do people never seem to find tin, I always find tons of it… And people always specifically mention Tin being an Issue even though there is 3 Ores (you didnt mention Stannite) that give it. I need to change something about it…

Stone Dust can be turned into Gravel with a 9 to 1 Crafting Grid Recipe or with an Item Barrel.

Do you need Annealed Copper for something specific? It is technically a later game Metal.

Mortar makes Clay Dust from Clay Balls, very sure about that one.

oh,my bad.
I just thought making brass needs annealed copper since it is the first page of NEI’s recipes.

Nah, you can just take copper and zinc NUGGETS and put em in a mixing bowl and then even use the FURNACE to smelt Brass.

i even found a gt dungeon but no tin. actually the problem is common ores become rare and there’s nothing to do with what mod is this
by the way adding a book might be a good idea

I can always find enough tin, you can sift regular black sand for tin and some other ores, if you want to mine for it make sure you are mining close to the surface, you can even find some exposed tin in deserts.

Deserts and beaches are always a good place to look for small ores, at least enough to make a decent pickaxe or bronze burning box.
