    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.

          sicko-flipped I just dug out a 23x23x23 cube for the lava lake a lack of cobble is not a concern for me at the moment. Right now it's going into a clay generator. By the time I run through that I expect I can get a parallelized cobblestone generator built. So far belts, andesite funnels, and tech reborn storage buffers are serving well enough for item transport. The latter can filter items and transport them in any direction stacks at a time, and are just made of wood and sugarcane.
