I've been playing Create Astral since you mentioned it last thread and I'm really enjoying it. I just built a dripstone cauldron lava generator and tried to use it to create an infinite lava lake, then realized it'll take about 4000 cauldron-hours to fill and I'm going to need to build an iron generator next to make enough cauldrons to finish it in any reasonable amount of time.
Yeah the cauldron thing is a trap tbh, you're much better off just getting your lava from one of the underground moon lakes. Getting the lava out of the moon is somewhat inconvenient but cauldrons are much slower.
I already dug the lake this is happening. Plus, I can't even get to the moon yet.
Something being slow just means it needs to be parallelized to an alarming extent.
It is my duty to inform you that you can't really farm iron very effectively until you get to the moon. A vanilla style golem farm probably works fine but screw setting that up, and the gravel -> iron nugget washing recipe requires a very large amount of cobble, which is nearly impossible to transport without brass funnels helping you do so in batches. However, you can make many small units that produce a couple ingots an hour and consolidate that into a respectable output. ideekay.
