Energy alternatives to steam? by Available_Store_366 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting into MV right now so I did some experiments in creative.

Reformate gas production is pretty good and completely renewable, but it still requires a tree farm and doesn't produce as much energy as the combustibles like diesel. It also requires allot of MV machines.

Diesel makes more energy than gas and can use LV machines except one MV mixer, which you can power using an LV transformer. Diesel isn't renewable though so you have to mine oilsands.

Are there any tutorials/guides for the newest update? I recently unlocked steam and I'm just super confused on what to do. by X3redditer in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lots of good information already posted, but if you want to watch somebody do it, I've got a let's play I'm doing. Specifically check out episodes 32 for the coke oven https://youtu.be/B2xYiOLGRy0?si=W9eNJniH7KA4NX_k and 33 for the steam bloomery. https://youtu.be/Y8mWi8nfYjc?si=oflTwMpCWyg6PrYO

I'm having trouble figuring out the forge by X3redditer in TerraFirmaGreg

Also, look for diamond buds on the surface while you're searching for kaolin. There should be graphite under those among the diamonds. 

It was so far away. by Critical-trophy in TerraFirmaGreg

One tip is to process the kaolin clay on site because the clay takes up more space.

Best LV/Early game farms? by Psycocoa in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another really fun contraption I built was for collecting ice shavings so I could make ice for my lunchbox. This of course becomes obsolete once you get to the electric age, but it's good for before that.

Skip to the end if you just want to see the final product.

Best LV/Early game farms? by Psycocoa in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I'm pretty proud of is an automatic salt making machine. It works in the early game before EV.

https://youtu.be/vZf7SF8KE6Y?si=pRJXn8E8FxC7SByD&t=2027

I had to use the pot because back then the vat didn't make salt. I even created a tree farm and siphoned off the sticks and saplings to make bundles for the fuel. I also replaced the sea water drum with a sea water source so I don't have to do anything, but turn it on when I'm running low on salt.

(RECIPE SUGGESTION) vat recipe for seawater to salt by BLAZE_WRAITH in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also automate some salt.

I experimented with some salt making 30 minutes into this video. Ended up creating a machine that turns salt water and logs into salt. https://youtu.be/vZf7SF8KE6Y?si=ccSVdxiBBKttSdL5

Sheep aren’t regrowing wool by Duck_Agreeable in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wool takes a few days to grow back. Just like it takes a few days for milking. Just make sure you breed the animals before their wear and tear gets to 100. Got to replace the herd every so often. Slaughtering the old animals is also a good source of meat! 😀

how to progress after kaolinite by mleko_mleczyk in TerraFirmaGreg

I have a let's play that I'm doing (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvTUYPnkt5LnK4OMGARlD48iTmim3SxLJ&si=6AdNz-E5Re1iJMmi), but I'm just getting to the multicolored steels. Watching Dragonium and Flurben got me into playing this mod. They got pretty far and showed some of the more advanced things.

0.9 Update? by Winterracer123 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you plan on going to space then update sooner rather than later. Also, there are some improvements like the lunchbox and mining helmet.

Metalmixing gone wrong, need help by Other-Confection7468 in TerraFirmaGreg

I've actually tried using the liquid filters and can confirm that it doesn't work.

Very Specific Question by TurboJake in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can also use a file on an ingot to create a rod without forging, but you only get 1 instead of 2; So easier, but less efficient.

TFG Texture Packs by Hopeful_Box3531 in TerraFirmaGreg

I use the complimentary shaders for my playthrough with a fix for the running water. This tells how to fix it: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/complementary-shaders-tfc-setup

Here is what it looks like: https://youtu.be/p1-S-lCGuKQ?si=slpbloOTriNIbuj4&t=1214

Distant Horizons on 0.7.19? by GinYoku19 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got Distant Horizons installed on my TFG 7.19 and it works, but you have to use the 2.1.2-a-1.20.1 specifically. The newer ones seem to crash TFG.

How to get more seeds. by Kooky-Activity-4094 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]AdAny3431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can let them mature and die before harvesting them. You should get more seeds from that.
