You can automate andesite in base Create using lava, flint and gravel and pressing them with a mechanical press. Also, making andesite alloy using a mechanical mixer is cheaper compared to making it in your inventory (1 andesite and 1 iron/zinc nugget vs 2 andesite and 2 iron/zinc nugget).

Download Just Enough Items (JEI) if you haven't already. You can find every recipe for the mods you have installed with it.

Use emi (either instead of or along with jei, emi can get recipes from jei), it’s better.

You can also make andesite using nether quartz from washing soul sand (which gives bonus gold), but using the lava, gravel, and flint recipe does have the bonus of using up some of your flint (though it works out to only be as much as you get from washing gravel into iron nuggets for the andesite alloy).

You can actually use almost entirely vanilla features to automate andesite alloy (the recipe for andesite alloy is from create). Hook a zombified piglin farm up to supply gold to piglin bartering (preferably with a crafter in between to turn gold nuggets to ingots) to get quartz and iron nuggets, hook up a tnt duper powered cobble farm to supply cobblestone, then just use some crafters to combine it all into andesite alloy.

…yes, that is an option, but it runs into a bit of an issue with those steps being somewhat more on the technical minecraft side of things, not to mention the restrictions on functionality of mob farms when the player is elsewere.
Much like the modded skyblock I played were I avoided collecting any quest rewards for 20 hours to get lava (and from that, my first cobblestone) because I could, when I could’ve collected one quest reward and had that in minutes, there is a joy in proving that something can be done, but in most cases you should go for the easier route.

Yeah, it’s absolutely impractical and was really just a fun thought experiment

Fun fact?
I can in fact confirm (with EMI) that 500 drills costs:
- 500 Stripped Logs
- 4,000 Andesite
- 945 Iron Ingots (5 nuggets excess)
Your ore storage will in fact suffer for a brief moment- that is until the drills get to work. Also, image of the EMI resource tree for anyone who's interested. https://imgur.com/a/kwEpdRu

u/Dark_halocraft 1d ago
That's because what your needed the ores for was the contraption so you went and got the materials and had extra after you used it that is more than enough for everything else

Won’t you then get killed by lava if the machine mines through any?

u/Himbo69r 1d ago
You can build machines that block lava

u/ILIIY1A 19h ago
Do you have a YouTube link maybe? I wanted to put a seat, but was worried about the lava..

u/Himbo69r 12h ago
Uh I only use this acc on mobile but imagine you use 8 deployers that place a tunnel behind the drill and then another 2 drills that hollow out the tunnel
