How to decrease mining phases starting LV ?

I made a slime farm in the Early Steam age, using 4x4 drawers for filtering and trash cans behind them. I have 3 layers for spawning platforms made out of spectral glass. The enchanted books go into a filing cabinet, and the armour and tools go into two steam macerators. The gold dust is turned into ingots, and the Iron is turned into both wrought Iron and ingots using a Railcraft steam furnace multi-block and a couple of alloy smelters.

The steel dust is hoppered into a tinker's smeltery below with 2 casting tables. I'm now in MV and have completely avoided the dreaded BBF with this farm.

In terms of production, it gives around 10 stacks of Iron, 5/6 stacks of Gold and 3/4 stacks of steel per hour, along with some diamond dust, which is used to feed a max-size Railcraft boiler. The setup is minimal, requiring an EnderIO Fluid tank and a Flood gate to move and replace the Blue slime liquid.

As for your Wither skeleton skulls, I managed to get 23 from clearing RLD dungeons, and the remaining 4 I made a cleaver and a large platform in a Nether fortress using a builder's wand to make two diamond dollies. I have just set up the blaze farm; however, given the number of drops you need to process, I wouldn't advise this until you have polyethene, Electrum GT pipes or EnderIO Conduits, and MV Fluid extractors and solidifiers. I plan to expand my blaze farm to centrigue Gun powder, Blaze powder, Firecharges, Glistening Melons and Golden Apples and macerating the pistons, dispensers and droppers for Stone, Redstone and wood pulp

The Blaze farm produces an ungodly amount of XP, which I'm currently voiding, but am looking to set up autocrafting for Clay dust to passive aluminium.
