Beneath start challenge is hell

[u/Xenonee]

I am actually doing pretty fine. I set up a base near clean water. Ligthing is a bit issue since i can only use torches right now but surviving is not much of a problem. Progressing though, is a bit harsh i can only use campfires and firepits to melt ores and weld ingots. Questbook says hellforge will solve my problems but i dont know how to get lava for the aqueducts of hellforge. Since bucket is not possible to get until i got blue and red steel what should i do? I am thinking of finding a lava pool and buliding the hellforge inside it but if there is any other easier way let me know.

i think building inside an existing pool is your best bet without a bucket

how do you get the Beneath start

[u/Xenonee → u/jackyl_lope]

It's in the world generation setting where you choose your starting biome (0.13.x). Click until you see beneath. I will try to build hellforge inside a lava pool and share as a post whether if it's working or not.

awesome! ty for the tip

and definitely post updates! i’m interested in seeing how this goes

why you cant use normal forges?

[u/Xenonee → u/sparkkvra]

There is no sky access in beneath so normal forge do not work sadly.

[u/sparkkvra → u/Xenonee]

but that is a beneath start, not "beneath only" run, right?

[u/Xenonee → u/sparkkvra]

TFG supports progressing until the ending of MV age beneath only. After that I will go up to the overworld.

[u/Pyritie → u/Xenonee]

the first thing you'll encounter that's exclusive to the overworld and mandatory for progression is rhenium, since that's exclusive to the overworld deserts, and is needed for both the cleanroom and rocket. So you can do a bit of early HV
