Tutorials/Andesite/Andesite Alloy Production
Andesite Alloy Automation
Method 1
- Place down 2 Millstones [Millstones A and B], each with cobblestone generator above it to obtain Gravel.
- Feed A's gravel into another Millstone to obtain Flint (and Iron nuggets as a by-product. You can make an Iron farm with these nuggets.)
- Obtain Infinite Lava - There is a few ways to do this: 1) Lava above Pointed Dripstone, with a Cauldron below and a Fluid network to move said lava; 2) With the default Config, create and then attempt to drain a source of lava with 10,000+ fluid blocks with a Hose Pulley.
- Feed the flint, B's gravel and the lava into a Basin below a Mechanical Mixer to obtain Andesite
- Feed lava via Fluid Pipes into the basin below the Mixer, and then use a Mechanical press above the Basin. The output of this final basin will be Andesite blocks
- Use the Iron Ingot generator to feed a second basin with iron nuggets and feed this second basin also with the andesite from the previous basin.
- Use a mixer with the basin, and andesite alloys will be made.
Method 2
This method of producing Andesite Alloy is made for technical players. In the long run, this farm does not produce any by-products, but at the beginning it might have trouble getting all the resources because the wash recipes use probabilities, so it might not be a bad idea to back up the system at the beginning.
Items Needed
Basin
Crushing Wheel
Encased Fan
Mechanical Mixer
Mechanical Press
Mechanical Belt,
Shaft and
Cogwheel
Steps
- Connect a Cobblestone farm to three pairs of Crushing Wheels (Crushing wheels A, B and C).
- Split the output of A into three outputs (A1, A2 and A3)
- Merge the first two outputs with the Gravel of the other two pairs of crushing wheels B and C.
- Now the products of A1, B and C get washed.
- Put the Flint and the gravel from A2 in a Basin and pump lava in before you can compact them. This mechanical press produces Andesite.
- Deposit this Andesite and the nuggets (from the washed gravel) into another basin and place a Mechanical Mixer over it to obtain Andesite Alloy .

Efficiency
This technique produces 1 Andesite Alloy for every 9.54 Cobblestone.
