Frequently asked questions

How do I get started in Ex Deorum?
Craft a wooden Barrel, a Sieve, and a Crucible, then fill the barrel with water and place a Sieve over it. Sift pebbles and gravel through the Sieve to get ore chunks and other resources, and use the Crucible to melt materials into lava.
How do I sift gravel and sand?
Place a Sieve on top of a Barrel or a solid block, then right-click the Sieve with gravel, sand, or dust in hand. Each sift consumes one item and has a chance to drop ore chunks, gems, or other materials.
How do I make lava in a Crucible?
Place a Crucible over a heat source like a fire or lava, then right-click it with a meltable material such as cobblestone or ore chunks. The Crucible will slowly melt the material into lava, which can then be piped or bucketed out.
Why isn't my Barrel filling with water?
Barrels only fill with water when it rains, or when you place them next to a water source and use a bucket or pipe. Make sure the barrel is not covered by a block above it, as rain cannot reach it otherwise.
What is the difference between a Sieve and a Compressed Sieve?
A Compressed Sieve holds multiple stacks of siftable material and processes them automatically when powered or interacted with. Regular Sieves require manual right-clicking for each item.
How do I get saplings and sticks?
Use a Crook on leaves to get saplings, sticks, and apples at a higher rate than breaking them by hand. Crooks can be crafted from wood and are essential for early tree farming.
Can I automate my Sieve and Barrel setup?
Yes, you can use hoppers, pipes, or other automation mods to feed items into Sieves and pull outputs from Barrels. Compressed Sieves are designed for automation and can process multiple items at once.
Which wood type should I use for Barrels, Sieves, and Crucibles?
All wood types function identically for Barrels, Sieves, and Crucibles, so choose based on aesthetics or available resources. Some modded woods like Archwood may have special variants such as Blazing or Cascading Crucibles with unique properties.
Why am I not getting ore chunks from sifting?
Ore chunks have a chance-based drop rate, so you may need to sift many blocks before getting one. Make sure you are sifting the correct material—gravel, sand, and dust each have different loot tables.
Is Ex Deorum compatible with other mods?
Ex Deorum is designed to work alongside most tech and automation mods, and its blocks can often be interacted with using pipes, hoppers, and other transport systems. Check the mod's configuration options if you need to adjust compatibility settings.
