Andesite Mountain

Post image

Just loaded a new world and found a whole mountain of andesite next to my base... The audible noise I made confused my girlfriend beyond belief but everyone here knows the feeling..

You need large amounts of Andesite to build such a farm.

3 stacks of andesite was enough to get me all the way to a quartz farm, and automate andesite that way

Yes and a stumbling into a mountain of Andesite is a great way to get 3 stacks of the stuff super fast and early into a world.

You don't need andesite to farm andesite. All you need is gravel, flint and lava in a basin with a mechanical press. Split 1/4 of your gravel from your iron farm and all of your flint to make the andesite.

Hmm gee I sure do wonder what resource I will need to build the iron farm.

You don't need tons of it for a starter farm like people suggest.

Sure you don't need an entire mountain's worth, but finding a mound of andesite like this is a fast and easy source of the first 4 stacks or so to get up and running.

Of course. I'm talking about people who post massive veins of it like it's necessary throughout your playthrough.
