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 1b
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.
Method 2
(Not finished)
- combine an iron farm with an andesite farm using a basin with a mixer on top
Iron farm
- Make a cobblestone generator. Then use a millstone:
- Then use an encased fan to make iron ingots:
- Throw away the flint and Voila! you get the iron.
Andesite farm
- Like the iron farm start with a cobblestone generator then mill the cobblestone into gravel.
- Then crush the gravel into sand.
- After that haunt the sand into soul sand.
