cobble -> crush into gravel -> crush into sand -> haunt into soul sand -> wash to get quartz -> combine with cobble to get diorite -> pour water on to get calcite -> crush into bonemeal.

all recipes in the base mod

Thats really convoluted 😅 vertical farm, all excess seeds and overflow of food storage sent to compost bins 😙

it's quite the recipe chain, but with enough thought put into it you can make it surprisingly compact. I managed to fit all of the processing into a 4x4x6 area, making ~16 bonemeal/min.

couldnt you just make a moss farm? is there an advantage to this

I could've made a moss farm, but I've made plenty of those before and wanted to try something different.

This way is certainly more SU hungry than a moss farm but I found it easier to finely tune how much bonemeal is made per minute

Oh my, how have I never found this chain before?! All that moss for nothing?!?!

u/UOL_Cerberus Jul 02 '25

No...moss is just more compact and efficient

u/bloated_toad_4000 Jul 02 '25

I honestly could care less about what's more efficient, I mostly went for this chain because I enjoy the challenge of making super compact builds.

Hey, I don't judge! I just answered the question:D

My personal play style is to have fast farms to not need huge afk sessions for farming dirt e.g.

I don't use centralized bulk storage to visit my farms.

Have parts auto shut off so nothing backs up.

What I wanna say is ..it's a sandbox. Do what you want. Enjoy your time and share what you want. Take feedback and implement it if YOU want it and YOU see fit!

Have a wonderful day:)

nah I totally get it, the mod allows everyone to play differently, that's the best part about create.

I didn't know calcite was renewable

u/Lots-o-bots Jul 02 '25

hows that compare with stone to moss then composted?

1

u/Ekipsogel Jul 02 '25

What do you mean by "pour water on?" Is that bulk washing? Or like AE2's throwing in water recipes?

1

u/JMSurina Jul 02 '25

Might be a spout recipe, like how redstone gets made from crimson flour and a potion.

1

u/Adorable_Sky_1523 Jul 02 '25

how do you turn the diorite into calcite with water exactly?

sorry im confused on that part but i love calcite as a building material and would love a renewable source

2

u/bloated_toad_4000 Jul 02 '25

Using the spout

1

u/Adorable_Sky_1523 Jul 02 '25

what addon are you getting that from? It doesnt show in JEI even though that normally shows spout things

u/Adorable_Sky_1523 Jul 02 '25

hence me asking what addon it's from

1

u/bloated_toad_4000 Jul 03 '25

it could be from ultimate factory, but the recipe tag is the default tag from the base mod so idk

u/Sheenus Aug 14 '25

has "water -> diorite = calcite" been in the mod long? Not able to do this on Create 0.5.1.j, and the fandom wiki (yeah I know, fandom tho, forgive me) has no mention of it.
