Create Love War FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start making guns in this mod?
Begin by crafting a basic Gunsmithing Table, which you'll use to assemble your first 
paper cartridge weapons like the Pattern 1853 Enfield. You'll need paper, wood, and basic metal parts—gather these from the world or simple crafting before attempting any automated production.

The basic Gunsmithing Table handles early-era weapons like paper cartridge and brass cartridge firearms, while the Advanced Gunsmithing Table unlocks semi-automatic and heavy weapons that require more precision. Experimental weapons need special workbenches and rare blueprints found elsewhere in the world.

Set up a 
Drawing Press connected to your Create system with brass sheets as input—it will automatically draw and cut them into different caliber casings. This is the foundation of any automated gun factory and saves enormous amounts of time compared to hand-crafting.

Tungsten ore generates at various depths in the world like standard ores, while sulfur ore appears in desert biomes and tar sands. Both are essential for high-tier ammunition and gun components, so you'll want to set up mining operations early.
What do I need the Fractional Distillation Tower for?
This tower converts crude oil (found under oceans and in desert tar sands) into diesel fuel and specialized polymers needed for automatic and experimental weapons. It's a mid-to-late game structure that unlocks access to the most advanced firearms.
Can I change how weapons perform by using different materials?
Yes—different materials affect weapon stats like damage, accuracy, and fire rate when you craft or modify guns at gunsmithing tables. Experiment with various metal types and polymers to find the performance profile you want.
What's the 
Stamping Press and when do I need it?
The Stamping Press uses metal templates to automatically stamp out individual gun parts from sheet metal, replacing tedious manual crafting. You'll need this once you're ready to scale up production beyond single weapons.

Yes—Create Love & War extends Flan's Mod Reloaded by replacing its gun parts system with mechanical crafting, so both mods are required to run.
What happens if I try to craft an experimental weapon without the right blueprint?
You won't be able to craft it—experimental weapons require rare blueprints found in the world and special workbenches, so you'll need to explore or trade to unlock them. These are intentionally gated behind progression.
Can I automate gunpowder production?
You can automate the gathering and processing of sulfur and other gunpowder ingredients using Create machinery, but the final gunpowder mixing step depends on your setup—plan your factory layout to move materials efficiently through presses and mixers.
