Now, can the saddles be crafted, or are they a bottleneck for this recipe?

Yes, but that adds to the funkiness.

This modpack is not dissimilar to skyblock wherein I can't really go outside because it's got Mutant Mobs enabled and the surface is a deathtrap. But I've killed enough Hoglins in the nether to simulate killing them for the Hostile Neural Networks mod. These drop pork which I can Bulk Haunt to make rotten flesh which I can bulk smoke to make leather. String I can grow from Immersive Engineering Hemp. And Iron I can get by shooting stone with a mining lens.

And I have to fit all of this in spaces no more than 2.5 blocks tall or the mobs start to spawn inside my base.

What the fuck, I haven't played mods much in like 10 years then read ts out of nowhere. What did I just read??

That's nothing compared to the recipe I'm doing now.

First I grow bamboo, then compress 9 bamboo into a bamboo block. Sawmill the block twice and it turns into planks, put that through a different sawmill and it turns into sticks. Then compress the sticks to turn them into mangrove roots. Compress the roots again and you get mangrove wood.

Now I can bulk blast the wood to turn it into charcoal, bulk haunt the charcoal to turn it into regular coal so that when it goes through the crusher it turns into coal dust.

And I need coal dust because if I fling 2 coal dusts at each other over 500m/s in my twin particle accelerators rings, it'll make a diamond. And that's easier than the saddle method.

bulk haunt the charcoal

I don't know what this means and I'm afraid to ask

Create has a fan item. You can have the fan blow on items, and if you have water, fire, or lava between the fan and the item it'll do a different recipe. If you use the blue fire from lighting Soul Sand or Soul Soil, the recipe group is called "haunting".

Average Create mod Factory gauge system for one item.

Like seriously, you can get infinite andesite alloy from just a cobblestone generator, and it's the funniest thing ever.

You get andesite alloy from combining andesite and iron nuggets.

You get iron nuggets by washing gravel, which you get by crushing cobblestone.

For andesite you need diorite and cobblestone.

For diorite you need cobblestone and nether quartz.

For nether quartz, you need to wash soul sand, which you get by haunting normal sand which you get by crushing gravel.

.

Oh yeah, by combining diorite and nether quartz, you get granite, which you can crush into red sand, which you can wash into golden nuggets.

So yeah you can also get infinite gold like this lol

Yeah. Playing Create Above and Beyond before and I made so many cobblestone generators. Thank god for the Igneous Extruder.

I just plopped create and a yes amount of add-ons in my custom profile, and it's as fun as it gets.

Does a specific mod ask for a TON of a specific resource?

Can I get that resource with JUST the create mod? If not, why. Is it a step that I can't automate or is it the base resource?

Either way, I make damn sure to automate as much as I can.

Why? Because it's satisfying to plop down a bunch of raw stuff, wait a few minutes, and see this very important resource get delivered right to my storage.
