Planning Your Metal Farm

A well-organized production line saves time and resources. Here's how to structure it for maximum efficiency.

Layout Strategy

1. Mining Station: Designate an area where you'll gather ore blocks. Use the Crack Hammer to crush ores into powder here.

2. Smelting Area: Place multiple furnaces near your mining station. Feed crushed powder into furnaces to produce ingots.

3. Crafting Hub: Set up a crafting table and anvil nearby for tool and armor creation.

4. Alloy Station: Keep metal powders organized in chests. Use a separate crafting area for blending alloys before smelting them.

Workflow Tips

  • Crush first, smelt second: Always use the Crack Hammer before smelting to double your output.
  • Batch your alloys: Combine multiple powder batches into blends, then smelt them together.
  • Organize by metal: Use labeled chests for copper, tin, silver, and other metals to avoid confusion.
  • Keep tools handy: Store extra Crack Hammers and furnaces so you're never bottlenecked.

With this setup, you'll process ores faster and have a steady supply of ingots for crafting.
