Include the reverse process. Sand->Gravel->Rock

180 sand + 9 EBA + 18 comb. + 20000 spark + 1500 power = 1 gravel
360 gravel + 18 SEBA + 36 comb. + 40000 spark + 3000 power = 1 rock

:laughing:

on a serious note though - what kind of rock should we get from that gravel we put?
maybe find 3 different additional ingredients, each leading to a different rock type?

I actually didn’t think of the type of rock it would put out. Good point. I’m at a lose on that one. Maybe you have to include one type of the kinda of rock you want. Color having no effect of course.

It could just make the rock (Let’s say always makes it into meta) and if wanted a certain kind of rock you can chisel change that to the type you wanted?

thought of that first, but wasn’t too happy about the idea

maybe I did too much chisel transforming last few weeks lol

I’ll just say ancient essence includes some time magic or something, so if I want to add time, I use that.

5 Sand & 1 bonding agent in compactor -> 2 gravel
2 Sand & 2 ancient essence in compactor -> 1 sedimentary
1 Gravel & 1 sand & 1 ancient essence & 1 bonding agent in compactor -> metamorphic (color from gravel)
2 gravel & 2 ancient essence in furnace -> igneous

Think that breaks the rules.

I wouldn’t script/bot anyway. I don’t agree with playing like that not because of any rules existing - simply because it wouldn’t feel to me that it was actually me achieving anything if I wasn’t fully present and if it wasn’t me doing every single click that’s required.

Sorry I shouldn’t of posted that. Everyone stay on the topic of making sand back into rock please

I think trying to keep it cheap would be best. We are only making rock anyways.

Sand/gravel +type of rock (sedi-meta-igni)+combustion/shred would be a good recipe

Or even using the furnace to design the recipe. Could that work sand plus something else cooks into rock? Maybe sand and lava?

Though then it would have to be and output of one type and chisel changed.

that sounds like glass more like :grin:

Possibly but we also have some crazy recipes in game already. Only other thought was sand and random gravel in the furnace to make rock of the sand color.

There could be three recipes.

Fantastic Idea! Choose the recipe of the type you want.

Let’s keep that topic out of the suggestion thread please.

Now for the output of rock it would have to be equal to the sand output so would it just be the reverse recipe?

Rock to gravel

Gravel to sand

It would just be reversed right so 20 sand bulk would equal 16 gravel?

This would even open up new colors of gravel and rock to be used for blocks

For the type of rock make it selectable. Same ingredients different output like plain glass /Glass pane

I suggest we get this recipe with glue or bonding agents.

All jokes aside, sounds like a useful recipe. Finally Bob suggests something good.
