Making the Coke Oven

In this episode of Project Ozone, we will be focusing on making a coke oven. But before we dive into that, let's quickly go over some of the tasks I completed off-camera. I managed to progress all the way up to the enchanter by using bone meal and breaking grass to get seeds. I also created an enchanting room and started working on improving the aesthetics of our base. One of the improvements I made was setting up solar panels to generate power.

Completing Off-camera Tasks

In preparation for the coke oven, I ensured that the solar panels were functioning properly. To do this, I had to slowly turn sand into Dust by grinding it down. While this task may not be particularly exciting, it was necessary to Gather the materials needed for the coke oven. I also discovered that the inventory of the grinding machine could fill up, causing items to pop out and despawn. To avoid this, I made sure to periodically clear the machine.

Setting Up Solar Panels

Before we Delve into the details of making the coke oven, let's briefly discuss the process of setting up the solar panels. I squared away the gravel, placing it in the appropriate container. I then turned the sand into dust by grinding it down. This step was essential for generating the necessary materials for our upcoming project.

Vein Mining for Clay Balls

To Create the coke bricks, we need a considerable amount of clay balls. I decided to go vein mining to acquire the required clay balls. It's worth noting that vein mining requires the use of a tool, such as a pickaxe. Breaking blocks with an open HAND or an ineffective tool will only break one block at a time.

Crafting the Coke Bricks

With a sufficient number of clay balls gathered, it's time to start crafting the coke bricks. To make 27 coke bricks, we will need one sandstone block and 14 2x2 clay bricks. I opted to use the sandstone block to simplify the crafting process and minimize any potential waste. By utilizing a proper crafting technique, we can ensure that we have the exact number of materials required.

Using the Engineer's Hammer

Next, we need to use the engineer's hammer to transform the coke oven into a multiblock structure. By right-clicking on the coke oven with the hammer, we can convert it into a solid block and activate its functionality. The coke oven has the ability to burn items, turning them into coal coke, while also producing creosote oil.

Burning Items in the Coke Oven

Now that the coke oven is set up, we can start burning items to produce coal coke and creosote oil. It's important to note that we can use either coal or wood as fuel for the coke oven, but using wood will result in a slower burning process. To keep the coke oven fueled, we can use a chest to store the necessary items and keep them easily accessible.

Obtaining Creosote Oil

As we Continue to burn items in the coke oven, we will accumulate creosote oil. This byproduct is an essential ingredient for creating treated wood and will be used in various recipes down the line. To avoid running out of creosote oil, we can set up a system to automatically keep the coke oven fueled and the oil production steady.

Upgrading Your Pickaxe

In the midst of setting up the coke oven, I took the opportunity to upgrade my pickaxe by replacing the head with a stone-bound one. The stone-bound enchantment allows the pickaxe to gain mining speed as it levels up. By utilizing this upgrade, the pickaxe becomes more efficient and provides a better mining experience.

Conclusion

In this episode, we successfully built the coke oven and started the process of generating coal coke and creosote oil. These materials will be crucial for future projects, such as creating a blast furnace and powering a waterwheel. By carefully planning and executing each step, we continue to progress in our Project Ozone adventure.

FAQ

Q: Can I use coal instead of wood in the coke oven? A: Yes, You can use either coal or wood as fuel for the coke oven. However, using wood will result in a slower burning process.

Q: How do I upgrade my pickaxe with a stone-bound head? A: To upgrade your pickaxe, place the pickaxe in the tool station along with the new stone-bound pickaxe head. The pickaxe will gain mining speed as it levels up.

Q: What is the purpose of creosote oil? A: Creosote oil is an important ingredient for various recipes, including the creation of treated wood. It can be obtained as a byproduct when burning items in the coke oven.
