Line 179:
|-
! Glass
| Mortar sand into quartz sand, combine with flint dust into glass dust. Melt glass dust in the Tinker's [[Smeltery]], chisel it into vanilla glass if needed. Saw glass blocks to get panes. Tinker's Construct Clear Glass can be broken and replaced without losing the glass block.
|-
! Glowstone (renewable)
Line 200:
|-
! Redstone Alloy
| Combine 1x copper and 4x redstone dust in the Tinker's [[Smeltery]].
|-
! Redstone Dust
Line 239:
Use your [[JourneyMap]] to set waypoints.
*Villages - scavenge for useful materials, Witchery books,
*Stonehenges - These can have chests or droppers with good loot. Beware of witch spawners!
*Obsidian totems or obelisks - 1x1 spire of obsidian or floating pillars in an obsidian circle - avoid these. May be surrounded by difficult to kill mobs.
Line 305:
* The Chisel can be used to get more block textures from common materials. One is given to you as an early quest reward.
*Tinker's Construct Clear Glass will drop as a block when broken, unlike most glass.
* Brownstone Roads (tin in the [[Smeltery]] poured over gravel blocks) let you walk faster but do not handle curves/changes in direction well. Plan for straight roads whenever possible if using this block. A hopper can auto-load gravel into a casting basin while a redstone clock pulses the faucet to automate production. Chisel the Rough Brownstone into roads.
* Use F7 to see the lighting overlay. Yellow X's are dark enough to spawn monsters at night, red X's can spawn at any time.
* Glowstone can be cut down with a Forge Microblocks Saw, which will not shatter into dust when broken. Even nooks, the smallest block, provide the same amount of light as a full block. Use Covers where a full flat block is desired, such as in the middle of a path.
Line 346:
====Fluids====
[[File:Input disable pipe.png|thumb|Steam can only flow towards the machines.]]Railcraft Water Tanks auto-pump from any side except the top. Railcraft Multi-Block Tanks auto-output from valves only, which must touch one of the bottom layer empty spaces inside the tank. Tinker's Construct Seared Faucets work on other liquid containers, not just the [[Smeltery]]. A redstone clock, either vanilla style with torches/dust, OpenBlocks Redstone Clock can be used to pulse a faucet. Bibliocraft's Clocks can be configured with shift right-click and are useful for slower actions in half-hour intervals or greater.
GT Pipes do NOT work on their own. They require a pump or a block that auto-outputs fluids, like Boilers. Fluid pipes can be broken with a Wrench; hold down left-click. The throughput of a pipe is half its capacity. Fluids will slosh back and forth inside pipes. While holding a Wrench and looking at a pipe, shift right-click on the rectangular 'x' areas to disable input for that side of the pipe. This stops fluids from flowing back into that section of pipe.
