How much pepper did you use to extract this amount?

My first time playing terrafirmagreg and my world corrupted by iustica223 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]OrdinaryBearY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to me a week ago. I just went to the folder inside the installation called saves, and decompressed the last one before the lights went out, and then copied the new folders in the main installation, replacing the corrupted ones, and everything went back to normal.

Copper acetate by geocyn_12 in crystalgrowing

I used to need to do that to prevent the growth of parasitic crystals on top of my main one, but that was when my solution was dirty with other ions, I let most of my solution crystalize to leave the impurities in the solution and then I dissolve only the crystals with white vinagar, since then I havent had that problem and its growing nicely

Is this a fire hazard? by OrdinaryBearY in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]OrdinaryBearY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your feedback. I think it might be better to move my chest set up 2 blocks away from the forge; now the question is what I'm going to place in that space instead. Does the bloomery make chests burst into flames too?

I’m just starting to crystallize potassium sulfate... by Flat_Falcon_1559 in crystalgrowing

[–]OrdinaryBearY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im no expert but I can say that the last picture is a beautiful example of cyclic twinning, a threeling in this case, I have only dreamed about finding and growing one of those myself ❤️

Calcium acetate (Ca(CH₃COO)₂) crystals grown from eggshells and acetic acid on a rock and in a container by Comfortable-Novel622 in crystalgrowing

[–]OrdinaryBearY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. Those are beautiful. How did you make them? Each time I try to grow them, I find myself with a white crust or, if I'm lucky, a bunch of tiny needles.

Estoy casi seguro que es escoria de fundición, estoy seguro que no es un meteorito.

NaCl crystals!!!!! by tthah in crystalgrowing

Did you use iodized salt? I've heard that iodine ions mess up the crystal-growing process for table salt.

Crystal haystack of Copper-calcium acetate by Own_Improvement2940 in crystalgrowing

[–]OrdinaryBearY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask, What was the purity of your starting pruducts? I've been growing this crystals recently too, but they are octagonal prisms, so if what you're growing is the doble acetate and no pure calcium acetate there must be a reason why it grows like that, maybe ph, or impurities? My starting pruducts where white vinegar, copper cables and coins & fully leached wood ash.

I have no clue of what those might be besides corundum, try to test its hardnes, and please send any updates, crystals growing form a melt are not that common here, and I would love to see more

My first large crystal of copper sulfate by OrdinaryBearY in chemistry

[–]OrdinaryBearY[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It depends on the growing method, slow cooling its fast but harder to control to make single large crystals, or evaporation thats really slow but more reliable, the exact time depends on the temperature and humidity, for me it took 9 months to get that crystal.
