Blazegold should definitely count as gold. For higher tiers, it might make sense for it to need an upgrade, but Blazegold has "gold" in the name

[@DaxMicro]

I was just going to post a comment similar to this one and then saw it, so instead of going double: I approve.

[@Papamax45]

I think a golf trim upgrade would be really cool so you can keep the armour you like while also prevent piglin murders

[@twobladedswordsandmauls2120]

For the food additions. Gluttonous Goo: A ferricore tier goo block that coverts pumpkins or Melons placed next to it into nodes of solid Nutritional slime, which restore 8 points of hunger and 20 points of saturation when eaten. Goo Bottle: A blazegold tier item that is crafted with a Gluttonous goo. Food Items can be fed to it like the fuel Canister, and it subtracts 2 from their hunger and saturation value then stores the rest. This saves inventory space and allows for food not to be wasted, but discourages using easy to mass produce food sources like potatoes so that you still set up at least some food processing.

[@DrpanProductions]

I was going to suggest bringing back the Meat Ingot from the original MineFactory Reloaded mod from the early days of modded, with a machine similar to the slaughterhouse. But you would still offer the meat block to the slime

[@biggiecheese1241]

It’s kinda funny how you spend an episode doing farming when the first thing I found in the pack was the Infinity Ham Relic from a random loot chest. One of my favorite parts of Minecraft is how things can go massively different with even small changes.

Hilarious i'm following you along in the modpack as I usually do (but I lean into mekanism heavy), but I just made this exact set up after discovering it all first hand. Great mod and super fun experience.

[@mykalekuneff7284]

i think the farmland is pretty balanced, by the time you get into the nether and progress a decent amount to get blazegold and upgrades, the farmland should be decently fast, similar to red fertilizer being easy to craft, or the different mystikal agriculture farmlands

[@doug-clark5148]

For your new farm blocks. Change them to where you can use a block underneath or on top of it that supports what you are going to grow. Say a block of soul sand for the nether wort.

[@drake11011]

Hey dire, just realized ive been watching you for almost half my life now :) just wanted to tell you to keep on doing what youre doing you rock. also netherward grows better on soulsand, maybe your soil getting treated like farmland makes it grow as slow as it would on farmland even with the increased growth ticks.

[@kathynguyen608]

I used "Easy Villagers" farms directly linked to Industrial Foregoing' Biorector/Biofuel Generator in my playthrough, but definitely doing this setup for the Farmer's Delight crops!

[@CarpathiaS]

Really enjoying the new mod you made Direwolf20! Just Dire Things has very cool progression

[@Saijansfavorites]

I could see an addon for food items, like making a block of chicken or steak and turning it into some goo version which gives better saturation and feeds more the higher tier it is. Maybe even have some food buffs at each tier to improve it. The highest tier would fill up the hunger and saturation to the max, plus add something like absorption, while the base tier would do like 3 of each, but add strength, or something, the second tier could add fire resist, the third tier could add maybe levitation or something ender related... making a food item block for it could be a shapeless item that uses 9 of any food to make.

[@garyboyles5762]

Dire, I love your new things! Very well done, sir. Much excite for the future builds on the way!

[@jfbrasch]

Adding poisonous potatoes and rotten tomatos to the collector deny list and a 2 second despawn, priceless!

[@jfbrasch]

Although, I need a couple for stupefy upgrade...

[@erikjohnson9112]

Jumbo Furnace is a good choice, because it can queue up many items even if different types, and same for fuel. Best is that it only requires cobblestone to build. Craft 27 normal furnaces and place in a 3 x 3 x 3 cube to make the multi-block structure. I recommend digging down to place it so it becomes part of your floor. Very convenient. UPDATE: 65X speed if you upgrade by "cooking" 64 x 27 furnaces in a Jumbo Furnace. That's cooking a stack in the same time a single item! (I tried it and it works)

[@robertpickel2447]

It’s not horrible but it’s not really fast than a regular furnace and some hoppers

[@erikjohnson9112]

@@robertpickel2447 I agree. It is very easy to use as long as you aren't impatient. It is also composed of only cobble stone so you can make it early. I think there might be upgrades, but I have not looked into it yet. I have it as the floor 3 x 3 right inside the door to my starter base. It will probably be ignored once I advance a bit, but at least it only cost some cobble.

[@erikjohnson9112]

You can make the furnace work in parallel by embedding JFs (Jumbo Furnaces) inside other JFs. Shears can reduce the multiblock to an item which you place in that single slot below the output section. You can also supposedly cook 27 furnaces into a JF item (so you don't have to build every one you want to embed).

[@TheREALDocRabbit]

I'm wondering is the void upgrade really even needed here. If the collector doesn't have an internal storage, and all the drawers are locked, and any drops despawn after 2 secs, if a drawer slot reaches it's max, wouldn't just the enviroment act as a void upgrade?

[@JoshSweetvale]

That's bad for server tickrate

[@Kathaeon]

Netherwart needs to be in the dark. So it’s only growing at night. Which you are probably sleeping through.

[@Dontess22]

an ever lasting gobstopper connected to a food chest that you have a farm pump in to... the better the food the better the heal and food...

[@chuipi]

Mystical agriculture fans are salivating over this farmland

[@marcusdirk]

I'm enjoying the in-depth look into Just Dire Things!

[@MaktheMad]

I could be wrong, but I think Netherwart is a night bloomer

[@xevira]

IIRC, that particular bit was done away with many versions ago. It can grow anywhere as long as it's on the proper soil. The issue I found, looking at the mod's source in Dire's github, is that, while the soils allow Netherwart to be planted on it and kept there, it actually looks like it completely ignores Netherwart when it's doing its "accelerated" growth.

[@marklambert697]

Feels like a lot of those Hoe abilities should be upgrades rather than built into the base tool maybe?

[@LlamaPony]

im lovin just dire things, amazing farming combo with farmer and harvester from industrial foregoing

[@clarkmeyer7211]

best way to cheese enderpearls is to make two trading villagers. one cleric and the other can be either a stonemason or fletcher the fletcher/ mason is used to get emeralds cheaply with stone or sticks and the cleric for the ender pearls. it takes a bit of levelling but its a fairly easy

[@WGG25]

your mod already has the goo types in it for crafting, for the food item you could have something similar to the coal item that stores fuel, but instead it would be a living goo/slime kind of deal, that you can feed food items (which grows the being) and then you can eat the being. the nutrition could average out between the food items you fed it, and food variety could give bonus saturation or whatever. does it sound OP? maybe. but at the same time, you could create a potato farm and have baked potato forever, so there's not much of a benefit, other than QoL. as a side effect maybe it could bite back sometimes lol

[@pagnean4234]

Haha a goo that slowly builds an opinion on life as it grows, chooses to keep living

[@RxDoc2010]

Source berries do not self harvest, but magebloom does.

[@frozenfrostmage]

I'm playing on ATM 10 and had some hiccups with magebloom. If I grow it with the growth spell, it doesn't auto harvest, but it does when it grows naturally.

[@pocketsizedweeb]

@@frozenfrostmage Once fully grown on the right soils, the crop will harvest once it receives a random growth tick. Bone meal and other similar effects won't harvest the crops, only the growth tick.

[@doug-clark5148]

You need to raise the blaze bloom up one block so you can utilize the full potential of it.

[@smartyheadysyoutube3399]

hey dire if you add a crafting table upgrade to your backpack you can essentially have a portable crafting table. not sure how useful it is but can be nice to have while mining or exploring to turn things into blocks

[@FARBerserker]

with the central water source: put a fence post in there so it gets water logged. then put chest and collector on top.

[@Deveyus]

It takes 31 minutes on average for a single wheat crop to grow, assuming a full field and discounting some other inefficiencies, we can simply round to 30 minutes per crop, however if you have 81 spaces of crops, this works out to one crop every 22.2 (we'll call it 22) seconds. Now, most players don't sit there harvesting as soon as the crops are ready so if we presume they come by every hour or so and harvest, they should see 81 wheat per hour or so. However, if you're autoharvesting and collecting as fast as it grows, the math shows you'll get 162 wheat an hour. This means that just autoharvesting is already a doubling of crop income, and then the soil makes it faster yet? This seems... hefty.

[@JAGuarGaming91]

I'm sure a lot of people would disagree but maybe seeing Pam's come back for 1.21 would be pretty cool. Hasn't been in one of your packs in a very long time. Just a thought.

[@frozenfrostmage]

So, just thought of something that'll be nice to see in Just Dire Things. How about fishing rods? Sure theres some mods that add some, but fishing rods often gets overlooked in tool adding mods.

[@sleeepylittlesheeepy2474]

Maybe make it auto reel back when it gets a fish. Upgrades for choosing biomes. Faster getting fish. Auto throw, so you only have to right click once.

[@scottchristofersen2367]

I don’t think the farmland needs nerfing as there are lots of even faster methods of growing stuff. The nether wort and sugar cane probably need a buff if anything if possible.

[@L3monSqueezy]

I think for the expense of setting up the farm (use of iron and gold especially since you only get 1/3 - 1/2 of the amount you put in) makes the speed of the farm fair.

[@daijutsi]

Gold trim for higher/lower tier. blazegold counts as gold itself.

[@daboys765]

Dire, make your fuel (coal) into blocks before using them in the generator, they get additional burn time

[@SkyAsh]

You don't really need the drawer void upgrades, do you? Since the items will despawn very quickly anyway when they grow on the blazegold farmland. Or does the item collector have an internal buffer that will fill up it it can't put it in adjacent inventory?

[@MyBigRed]

I really think Direloaf should be a thing.

[@Yamael]

Have you considered adding shields to Just DIre Things? You could give them fun properties like projectile reflection or 360º shield but costs more durability if the attack doesn't come from the front, or things like that.

[@skywalker32711]

Hey Dire! How about a food container based on the same principle as the fuel canister? It gets what it fills from what you put in. A sort of MRE.

[@majestyc0359]

Making a blazegold farm with Ars Nouveau can generate a lot of essence.

[@flightwithoutfeathers4682]

I also had this thought. I love Ars Nouveau. It's the first mod I like to get into when starting a pack.

[@StarbornCthulhu]

You could use the armor trims to add gold to your armor ad an upgrade in your mod?

[@MrDarkDragone]

Dire some of the carrots were popping on and falling outside the collector area and getting voided. Also on your coals the blaze tier a single coal smelts 72 items and to get it I think you would need 3 blocks of coal in order to get one blaze coal. A block of coal is 9 coal which each coal smelts 8 items, and 8x9=72 and 72x3=216 (though blocks of coal smelt more, I think its like as if you had 10 coal so 80x3=240). So is it only better when using your fuel canister or just within your mod with the burn multiplier?

[@ockerspock3432]

the mechanic is THREE to FOUR drops per transformation your calculations disregard the FOUR chance. Transforming 6 blocks (54 coal) will return minimum 18 blaze coal (6x3) and a maximum 24 (6x4) averaging 21 or 3.5 per block. My testing using 36 coal blocks returned 3.43 average. The benefit does seem minimal considering the time & effort (it might be automatable) but 3.5 x 72 = 252 is the calculated average

[@MrDarkDragone]

@@ockerspock3432 Yes they do disregard that as it is only 3 to 4 even if you were lucky enough to always get 4 you would still need 3 blocks of coal to make one blaze. Even if each one was to come out 4 I think you would only be able to make an extra block after 9?

[@L3monSqueezy]

Netherwart is naturally slow. It might have something to do with not planting it on soul soil causing it to be this slow because it grows faster on soul sand. So unless you want to add something like being able to till soul sand with your modded hoe it will continue to do so. Maybe you haven't added netherwart to be effected by the growth tic acceleration. Netherwart doesnt respond to bonemeal, so if you modded it where it applies a bonemeal effect that might be causing the slowness as well. It is also slow because you only have 3 planted instead of 9 so it seems a lot slower than the other crops. I havent played vanilla MC since before Microsoft bought it either so I could be completely outdated in my information.

[@pocketsizedweeb]

I do agree that the soil is a bit too powerful especially after blazegold when you get the drops teleporter. I'd prefer a nerf that goes "slightly faster > auto drop, but not faster > auto drop and pick up, but not faster > auto drop and pick up, but slightly faster". It's insane how fast even celestigem can get and it's basically free compared to other options which use power.

[@danpettersson4671]

My first guess about why Netherwart is so slow growing is that they don't grow in daylight, so the only growth they have if the dire-growth.

[@xevira]

You are not accounting for Netherwart in your goo soil. You allow it to be planted, but you don't recognize it when you do your growth ticks. You recognize all the crops, stems and explicitly specified blocks, but netherwart isn't one of them. That's why it's not growing fast like the rest.

[@acidtreat101]

The farming does feel overpowered to me. Perhaps slow it down a bit?
