While it's mentioned in their tooltip, it feels worth emphasizing that saws can pick up ice This is especially important for allows moving water sources very compactly as soon as your first winter hits. Also a note on mining: If digging into a flat, unsupported wall (e.g. you dug straight down and want to branch out) the first block won't cause a collapse. Replacing that block with something solid supports the block above it, and repeating the process on either side allows making room for a support arch. One more note on food: Salads! Carrying an empty bowl with you while foraging lets you prepare meals almost instantly, which can help bridge the gap between raw food and soups (though soups produce 3 items where a salad produces 1, so they're definitely preferable ASAP.) I will thank you for pointing me towards the anvil gui resource pack. I watched a couple episodes of Flurben's series (starring you) but I couldn't find the specific resource pack.
Stick bundles is a huuuuuge tip and i'm not even done with half the video. Thanks so much for making this! 3:00 you can fill a pot with water and manually add ingredients if it won't let you add via shift clicking.
The best way I found for adding ingredients in soup pot was to first add 4 of the ingredients, THEN add water, and only when I added last ingredient the pot would "insta-seal" and start cooking.
You can actually mine ores with a stone hammer and this also gives you crushed ores, i.e. if you find native copper and tin (or cassiterite) you can crush and wash the ores by throwing them in water. And with a ratio or 18 copper dust and 2 tin dust in a vessel you get 20 bronze ingots insanely early before you make metal tools; as well as not having to deal with the weird ore ratios in the base 144 system.
Also applies to gold and silver for black bronze due to them spawning as native metals. Personally I did 14 copper + 4 gold + 2 silver, as I nearly died from lead poisoning retrieving the silver.
Not technically a "Tip" but something that helped me when I started was using the command "/time set monthlength 28". You can set the month length to whatever you want I just chose 28 because it felt right and way better than the default 8... I might recommend not going quite as high as 28, but more than default felt WAY better. This helped me not feel like I was in such a rush to be prepared, and made a lot of things like having the right clothes feel impactful. You also actually get to enjoy each season (right click with your shovel to create paths for winter or work the forge to stay warm) and your fruit trees/bushes can have multiple harvests.
With the tip on the bloomery, what I've done with dusts that don't melt down into 144 mb is to first melt those down into ingots. You can then throw the ingots into the bloomery with your charcoal. This allows you to be able to do the 1:1 ratio of iron to charcoal if you have dusts that are less than a full ingots worth. Great video btw!
Those are some good tips. I would note, for the lanterns, you can pipe directly out of your coke oven, with any size liquid pipe, into the lantern instead of refilling it. Technically more "costly" on raw numbers but points for convenience and not having to stress about finding olives. Before lanterns though, candles are cheep and a great upgrade from torches. Great tips all around, especially for new players. I wish I had known about the latex upgrade much earlier.
@@Dragonium10190 I am very impressed with how many of your comments you respond to. It's more expensive, but if you pipe underground, you can use a larger pipe just at the spot where it comes out of the ground/wall to plug the hole, then you get little street lamps, and a convenient large buffer. I do make very little forward progress in this pack though since I spend so many resources on trying to make the awkward things look good and 12 plates per huge pipe was not a WISE decision at the time... The feeling of turning on the gas lamps in my little hobbit village for the first time was great though.
this has been super useful, a friend and i have been slowly piecing together how this modpack works and its honestly really hard to find specific info, specially on terrafirmagreg, tips like this will save us hours of trial and error, really great video, understandable and useful
In base TFC trees already take longer to chop, but in the TFG pack they add a tree felling animation which also increases break time and im pretty sure the slow downs from both these mods is stacking. Also kaolin clay is way easier to find than graphite.
another tip for everyone! Backpacks can hold logs, barrels and vessels! Backpacks also fit inside a small vessels so when on those long mining trips bring more than one so you spend less time going back and forth!
For filling out the ceiling of your mining area, instead of planks, you can also use bricks. The requirements are not that scary: you just have to have a source of fluxstone, plus a beach to get sand. That allows you to craft mortar, with which to brick up the ceiling.
Candles are really easy to make (one beeswax and one string makes four) and also last a month and 2 days! Much cheaper and easier until you get to colored steel
please do tutorials into create, in the co op episodes you went really fast and and off camera mostly and we could not keep up or understand how it works :D
the Bloomery ratios are a nightmare... I started playing TFG with a friend and we got to the bloomery stage, but I quite literally had to pull up a calculator to optimalize iron output... and failed to do that EVEN WITH a calculator, because I forgot to tell my friend to... use hammers on any cast iron ore... and now I have to not ONLY do all the blacksmithing, because I have the patience to do it, but also calculate bloomery ratios, because I am very sensitive when wasting resources...
Super useful tips! Thank you! I'm just getting into glassblowing and the book says to use brass plated blocks, but they don't seem to be in the modpack. How do you make glass blocks instead?
more than a tip a warning. kaolinite, is hard enough to find usually, to the point were i would even restart a random seed if i started somewere far from the place it spawns (18c avg temperature and 300ml precipitations) but if/when you do find it, make sure to bring a full inventory of it to your base, because the kaolinite clay only becomes powder 20% of the time, and you need 4 for each ball and 5 ball to craft something, so you need average 100 kaolinite clay, to get item from it. given that you are going to need at the very least 2 crucibles and 12 fire bricks, that is 600 kaolinite already, and that is the minimun, you are probably going to need one more crucible, probably some channels... be smart, do one trip, bring at least 20 stacks to your base sincerely, someone that had to do two trips to get all the kaolinite that he needed
if your base is that far away from the nearest source of kaolinite (like mine), bring small vessels with you or make some on site. every vessel takes a full stack of 64 kaolinite clay. fill them all up, fire them up in a pit kiln and keep digging. the pit kiln will finish by the time you've dug up another batch of clay. then you can unload the kaolinite powder, fill the vessels and repeat. this saves you from having to carry all that kaolinite clay home... but make sure to make at least five kaolinite clay blocks and keep them, they can be used instead of brass blocks for making glass blocks!
Great video and tips! Do you or anyone else have any tips for finding graphite? Ive been searching for the correct stone types on the surface, and mining in the right layers (info from the wiki) for ages and cant find anything.
which version of modpack you have? because i have played on 7.0.9 i think or something like this and i don`t know why but the guide book, on left of inventory, just empty. thanks for tips
Yes, but only if you know what you're doing beforehand. The main dangers are wild animals early, mines are always dangerous when you re-visit if you don't make the floor half-blocks, and in order to progress, you will need to know how to raise your hp properly with good food, since you WILL need to handle dangerous materials like lead ore with your bare hands, and that deals 100dmg/sec and 500 more damage taken over time after you put the ore away in vessels or something. There's also surprise death scenarios that can happen if you don't know what you're doing, for instance digging ore in andesite with mining hammer/pickaxe. You shouldn't dig most ore(apart from coal and a few others) with a pickaxe, and use a (smithing)hammer instead, but IF YOU DO, they'll spawn andesite dust, which is ALSO toxic and will probably kill you if it's the first time you encounter it and you have no idea what's killing you.
@@RedsnowHD You can carry a filled barrel on your back (to avoid hunger debuff for carrying it in inventory). If you have any sort of jug/bottle/flask, you can drink from it, 100 times (since you drink 100mb each time) My recommendation is to use milk instead of water, as drinking milk after every meal gives you dairy nutrition without needing to eat cheese (it's possible to even max dairy bar this way)
@@RedsnowHD also, iron flask is preferable, as leather waterskin has little durability, jugs break often, and glass bottles can also break sometimes, albeit they can hold more (400/500 mb if silica bottle)

homie just smelt all the ore into iron ingots and then use 1:1 ratio ingot with charcoal, smelt using crucible, LIFE SAVER

@Dragonium10190 No worries. We stumbled across a big vein by our base after I commented, lol.
