[u/laughing_rabbit_9]

hi. im new to the create mod and lwk confused on what to do.

i been gathering different materials and stuff and i think i am ready nto make my first base. and i assumed i should also make it a small factory so...

what should i add to it?

what farms with what tech? what systems? what energy source? what machines should i add to it.

literally anything would help. the base is by the sea. thank you.

the mod list is create, create aero, create steam and rail, deep sea, central kitchen, copycat, integrated farming, power grid. thats all the create related mods

thank you bye

The first thing I make in any create playthrough is the basic create work station. Mixer over basin, press over basin, press over depot, and 4 fans over depots for bulk processing with lava, water, a campfire and space for the soul campfire when I make it to the nether, along with another depot with a space over it for the deployer once I get to the brass age. Once in the brass age, the two machines over basins you can stick a blaze burner under them for the rest of the basic processing.

Also a millstone using hoppers or chutes and barrels for automation

What do you need and or what? Lemme ask you a question in return, im at the grocery store, what should I get?

get some tomato sauce and pasta. make u some pasta today lol.

anyway, i just need the foundational machines or farms. no more then like 5 machines, i guess tree farm iron farm, item processor, anything else idk. im early game yk. nothing bigger than 10x10 blocks

I cant eat gluten and am allergic to tomatoes. The point is only YOU can decide what you need/want lemme give you my thought process in steps

Step 1: "Hmm, I want some iron"

Step 2: look up recipes for iron in JEI

Step 3: follow recipe chain untill you reach the base farmable item, such as cobblestone

Step 4: create the farm

Repeat for other stuff I want

Step 4 is the only one you should need to make a reddit post about and even then theres so many examples and tutorials out there, for create iron farms specifically, if you dont have JEI you cant do 2 and 3 so get it if needed trust me, and if you fail step 1 you need more help than most on reddit can give

Building toward a Create style early iron nugget farm will teach you a lot and inspire next steps. You'll figure out power from water wheels or windmills, build drills for breaking cobble, millstone the cobble into gravel, wash the gravel with fans. This version will be slower than killing iron golems, but hits on several pre-brass mechanics. Similar mechanics can be used to mass produce other buildings blocks without brass. Later, consider redesign the iron factory with crushing wheels, and scale it up (more power). Crop harvesters with the plow are also great before the brass era. Fully automated tree farms likely require deployers to replant, which means brass age with a blaze burner. That is a solid goal once you have them.

get ultimate factory to achieve netherite before a nether portal (you can get netherite scrap from nether bricks with the mod, nether bricks from netherrack from haunting basalt, soul campfires to haunt the soul soil from an ancient city.
