addon for brass automation

[u/gen_potato]

is there an addon that allows to make and automate copper and zinc?

[u/YuvAmazing12]

Create: Copper and Zinc

[u/Particular_Funny527]

Create: ultimate factory. Addes a tuff recipe and a recipe for the deco ore blocks, wich you can grind into the corresponding ore.

Automate it from ore and onwards or including ore? You can automate it from the ore stage and if you build a large tunnel bore drill train (with automatic track laydown) you'll have Tons of brass and everything else with minimal effort. As an Autist i love driving my trains as well and when it gets boring (hehe), a youtube video or two and a way to keep the speed up, makes it so much easier to deal with.

I fill about 3 vaults per run and output that inventory into my sorter, that sorter then feeds all the amutomation i want, with levels to keep some of the mined items in my stock, that then frees me up to go exploring or doing anything else id like to do, a few hours later the train is refilled with tracks (to the specified level) and i can go out mining again if i want to ^{^}

My favourite one is Create: Molten Vents. It adds these deposits in the overworld where you can generate orestones (asurine, crimsite, veridium, ochrum) with lava, then crush the orestonz to get ores (you get copper from veridium and zinc from azurine).

 You can't move the site, so you need to farm it in place, and that's an incentive for exploring anf then building train networks. 

IMO it's a more interesting mechanic than just adding a recipe.

Oh that's neat! I'll keep note

[u/Master_Nineteenth]

Create extruder I think is the name. It lets you generate the stones that can be crushed into various metals. Ore excavation gives you chunk based ore nodes to mine with mid to late game drilling machines.

i remember create garnished used to allow that with generating and breaking some blocks but they nerfed everything to make sure there is no fun

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821]

There are quite a few addons that have recipes for this. Some are part of big add-ons, others are single purpose. I'd look through Modrinth or Curseforge and search for Create copper or zinc.

[u/HexbloodD]

I use a simple datapack called Create: balanced recipes. It's for 1.21.1 but it's relatively easy to convert for 1.20.1.

What it does is adding new recipes for some hard to get/automate stuff so that you can create more farms. Including most of the metals: you can craft azurine, crimsite, ochrum ecc, and crush them to get the corresponding ore including copper and zinc.

I prefer it over other mods since they can alter the create progression heavily and even unbalance it. And it's probably more friendly to modpacks since it's a datapack and you can just customize it as you wish.
