Line 43:
* Flour can be thrown in a water filled cauldron to turn the entire stack into dough at once, using only 1/3 a bucket.
* Soft Mallet substitutes for juicer/press, knife substitutes for Cutting Board, GT mortars substitute for Mortar and Pestle, Rolling Pin subs for Baking Dish, though the Pam's tools are worth eventually upgrading to as they have unlimited durability.
* Foods that don't require any special tools beyond flint/wood include berry medley, beef wellington, raw meaty stew, the various salads, potato on a stick, and the various doughs/breads. GT dough recipe is easier since it doesn't require salt.▼
*Tinker's drying racks can be used to make jerky out of most raw meats, including rotten flesh.

*If you get the GregTech dyes from a loot bag, they can be used to make Epic Bacon.
Line 117:
In early game, you should have at least the surface 256 blocks around you explored. Once you get a horse, explore further out. After you get steel, you can make a hang-glider and quickly explore thousands of blocks away from home.
*Watch out for
▲*Watch out for blood moons! If this occurs, you cannot sleep through the night. If the torches in your area start looking reddish, IMMEDIATELY stop and build an emergency fort.
*Lava flows faster than you'll expect. Keep blocks and a water bucket handy at all times when working around lava!
*Spawners are incredibly slow to break, even with tools. Don't try to rush a spawner thinking you can smash it.
Line 167 ⟶ 166:
With a basic redstone clock (torches/dust) or Extra Utilities Redstone Clock block, the smeltery can batch process iron ingots into iron nuggets for making wrought iron. Use a Thaumcraft gold coin or a nugget from furnace processing Crushed Gold Ore or Crushed Iron Ore to get your first nugget for the cast.

Use your
*Villages - scavenge for useful materials, Witchery books, smeltery blocks. Note any interesting trades for later. Once you can make Golden Lassos, you can bring back villagers to your base. Note you can't skip the quests for the smeltry as you have to craft it, but you can expand it.
Line 350 ⟶ 347:
Early automation is scarce, mostly limited to hoppers pre-Steel. GT machines cannot be input/output from their front faces, including from hoppers. While item pipes are technically available earlier they cannot be removed without a Steel Wrench or better.
====A Better Coke Oven====
Two hoppers, two chests and fluid containers are all that is required to make a [[Coke Oven]] self-sufficient for a long time. While not completely automated as it must be fed logs and have the Creosote emptied occasionally, a simple setup similar to the picture on the left will make charcoal easier. Note that only one input chest is needed - any side or the top will feed the Coke Oven, while a hopper anywhere on the bottom pointing into a chest will remove filled fluid containers and charcoal. The Coke Oven will stop working if it becomes full of [[Coke Oven#Creosote|Creosote]]. A small stack of Seared Tanks will keep it running longer until proper fluid handling is available.
Later one or more Coke Ovens can be connected to automated wood production such as the Crop Manager, and fluid can be pumped into Super Tanks or voided with Void Fluid Pipe / Trash Can (Fluids) for truly automatic charcoal.
