Set Up a Basic Ore Washing and Crushing Line
Prepare Your Processing Area
Build a dedicated space near your base for initial ore processing. You'll need machines from the main Create mod:
- Crushers to break raw ore into smaller pieces
- Washers to clean and separate materials
- Conveyor belts to move materials between machines
- Hoppers to feed and collect items
Connect Your Line
Arrange machines in a logical flow: raw ore → crusher → washer → collection. Use conveyor belts powered by a Create motor or water wheel to move materials through each step. The output from washing will give you cleaner ore and byproducts. Store these intermediate materials in chests or bins for the next refining stage. This basic line prepares your raw ores for the more complex chemical processing that comes later.
