Related Problem

Kaolinite is one of the few resources that are exclusive to certain climates. Other climate specific resources like Kapok trees which can be moved and grown at a different location, kaolinite can require players to travel large distances for an extremely basic and vital resource.

Your Solution

Add an alternative recipe to Kaolinite. I have made one based off the real world chemical composition of Kaolinite. This recipe is not designed to replace kaolinite mining, but provide a difficult alternative for players who don't want to or cannot travel far distances to find Kaolinite.

The recipe is: 1 clay ball 1 aluminum dust 1 fullers earth (or silicon dust) 1 bone meal or calcium dust 1 of any sedimentary dust

Once again, this recipe is based on the real world chemical composition of fire clay/kaolinite.

If the devs do decide on implementing this recipe, I have already made it in KubeJS for your convenience.

// Kaolin Crafting event.shapeless( Item.of('tfc:kaolin_clay', 1), [ 'minecraft:clay_ball', 'gtceu:aluminium_dust', ['gtceu:fullers_earth_dust', 'gtceu:silicon_dust', 'gtceu:silicon_dioxide_dust'], ['minecraft:bone_meal', 'gtceu:calcium_dust'], ['tfg:shale_dust', 'tfg:claystone_dust', 'tfg:limestone_dust', 'tfg:conglomerate_dust', 'tfg:dolomite_dust', 'tfg:chert_dust', 'tfg:chalk_dust'] ] )

WaterMelwin commented 2 weeks ago

time it took you to write that whole post you could have dug up 20k kaolin clay

To be fair, this is less about this modpack and more about TFC in general, as the mod is trying to be realistic to a fault which doesn't always lead to the best player experience. An alternative recipe for fireclay would be great, as otherwise all of gregtech is locked behind RNG and hours of just walking.
