Kcs Growable Ores FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start growing ores?
You need to craft ore seeds using the crafting recipes shown in the mod wiki, then plant them on farmland or appropriate blocks. Each ore type has its own seed and grows over time like vanilla crops.
What blocks can I plant ore seeds on?
Ore seeds can be planted on farmland, and some variants may have specific requirements—check the individual crop pages to see if certain ores need special blocks like soul sand or end stone.
How long does it take for ores to grow?
Growth time varies by ore type; some grow quickly while rare materials like ancient debris take significantly longer. You can speed up growth using bone meal or by setting up conditions that encourage faster crop maturation.
Can I use this mod with Applied Energistics?
Yes, the mod has built-in support for Applied Energistics. See the "Using Ore Crops with Applied Energistics" guide for how to integrate ore crops into your AE2 system.
Does this work with Mystical Agriculture?
The mod includes support for Mystical Agriculture, allowing you to potentially combine both systems for ore generation.
How do I farm ancient debris efficiently?
Ancient debris seeds take longer to mature than standard ores; set up an automated farm with bone meal dispensers or growth accelerators, and refer to the "Growing Rare Materials" guide for optimization tips.
Can I grow obsidian?
Yes, obsidian is one of the growable materials in this mod. It requires specific growing conditions—check the crafting recipes and growing guide for the exact setup.
What's the best way to automate ore farming?
Use hoppers, conveyors, or mod-specific automation (like Create conveyors) to collect mature crops, and set up bone meal dispensers or growth accelerators to speed up maturation. See the "Setting Up an Automated Ore Farm" guide for detailed setup.
Do deepslate ore variants grow differently?
Deepslate variants are included in the mod and can be grown, though they may have different growth requirements or speeds than their regular counterparts—check individual crop pages for specifics.
Will this mod cause lag if I build a huge farm?
Large farms can impact performance depending on your system; consider spreading farms across multiple chunks and using efficient automation to minimize constant block updates.
