GeOre guide for All the Mods 10: To the Sky 1.2 to 1.2.1

GeOre is the pack's main way to automate resource gathering. If you've used Budding Amethyst or Certus Quartz, you already know the idea: you set up a budding block, and crystals grow out of it over time.^[1]

Crystals can grow out of any side of a budding block as long as there is room. The big difference from amethyst is that you can pick up GeOre blocks with a pickaxe, and you don't need Silk Touch. That makes it easy to move your farm around or rebuild it somewhere else.^[1]

The loop is simple. You mine the crystals off the budding block, then smelt them to get the ingot. The block itself stays in place and keeps growing more.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

The pack introduces GeOre in the quest chapter "Chapter 2: The Cool Parts". The quest "GeOre" quest asks you to obtain Budding Iron GeOre and explains how the system works. That makes it an early-to-mid game way to get a steady supply of ingots without mining for them by hand.^[1]

This pack ships GeOre 6.1.0. It has been included since the pack's 1.0 release or earlier.^[2]

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 1.0.2 guide

GeOre gives you shards, blocks, spyglasses and tinted glass for a long list of ore types. The sources for this pack only confirm the crafting side, so this section is short and sticks to that.^[3]

Start with the shards

Everything starts with the shard of an ore type, for example Copper GeOre Shard or Iron GeOre Shard. Every GeOre recipe I can see in this pack takes a shard as its main input.^[3]

The mod has a generation toggle for each ore type. By default it is on for coal, copper, diamond, emerald, gold, iron, lapis, quartz and redstone, and for budding ancient debris. By default it is off for types like aluminum, lead, tin, nickel, osmium, silver, ruby and sapphire. Those are the mod's defaults, not confirmed values for this pack.^[4]

Craft a spyglass

Each ore type has its own spyglass, such as Copper GeOre Spyglass. The pack changed these recipes from the mod's own, so don't rely on the mod's default recipe. Here is the in-pack version:^[3]

The spyglass recipes for the other ore types are listed as changed by the pack in the same way.

The mod also has an option for the intensity of the spyglass color overlay. Its default is 0.5, which means 50%.^[4]

Make tinted glass

Tinted glass is the next easy craft. This recipe is the mod's own, and the pack hasn't changed it.^[3]

Compress shards into blocks

Shards also craft into a block of GeOre, again using the mod's own recipe.^[3]

Budding GeOre and pistons

The mod has a budding Ancient Debris variant, and a generation option for it that the mod ships enabled by default. There is also an option to stop pistons from breaking budding GeOre. Vanilla behavior breaks the block when a piston pushes it, and this option overrides that. The mod ships with it off, so out of the box a piston push still breaks the block.^[4]

Unverified No GeOre config files were found in the pack, so the sources here do not show the pack's actual values for the piston option or the generation toggles. Every default mentioned in this section is what the mod itself ships with, not necessarily what this pack uses.

Which GeOres generate

The mod has a separate generation toggle for each GeOre type. By default it turns on coal, copper, diamond, emerald, gold, iron, lapis, quartz (including a Nether quartz toggle) and redstone.^[4]

Many modded types are off by default in the mod: aluminum, black quartz, lead, monazite, nickel, osmium, platinum, ruby, sapphire, silver, tin, topaz, tungsten, uraninite, uranium and zinc. Seeing an item like Aluminum GeOre Shard or Lead GeOre Shard in the pack does not confirm that world generation for that type is on.^[3][4]

What you can make from shards

Each GeOre type gives a shard item, and every type in the recipe dump can be crafted into a compact block form, a tinted glass and a spyglass. Iron is shown below as an example, and the other types follow the same pattern.^[3]

The mod has a setting for the intensity of the color overlay you see through a GeOre spyglass. The mod's default is 0.5, which is 50%.^[4]

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 1.0.2 guide

GeOre doesn't have a single linear tier ladder in this pack, and no quests cover it. What the pack's recipes do show is how each budding geore is made and what you can craft from the shards they grow. So progression here mostly means unlocking more budding geores as you reach more metals and gems.^[3]

Step 1: Cast your budding geores

In this pack, budding geores are made with Productive Metalworks block casting recipes that the pack added. Each one uses a molten material matching the geore. The recipes shown cover Budding Copper GeOre, Budding Gold GeOre, Budding Nickel GeOre, Budding Osmium GeOre, Budding Ancient Debris GeOre, Budding Lapis GeOre, Budding Quartz GeOre, Budding Coal GeOre, Budding Topaz GeOre, Budding Ruby GeOre, Budding Diamond GeOre and Budding Uranium GeOre. So your casting tier is basically decided by which molten fluids you can produce.^[3]

Budding Copper GeOreAdded by the pack

Block Casting (productivemetalworks)

• Sand 1x
• 900× any molten copper

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:kjs/2srrqlnld2pmc3uw30ct3agxz

Budding Copper Geore is cast with the pack's block casting recipe.

Budding Diamond GeOreAdded by the pack

Block Casting (productivemetalworks)

• Sand 1x
• 900× any molten diamond

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:kjs/840daopmqgzjh02qoxsegg0sy

Budding Diamond Geore follows the same casting pattern.

Black quartz is a small variation. Budding Black Quartz GeOre is cast with red sand instead of regular sand, while molten quartz is still the fluid. The recipe list in the sources is cut off, so I can't confirm the casting recipe for every other budding geore.^[3]

Step 2: The uraninite upgrade

Budding Uraninite GeOre is the one budding geore in these recipes that sits a step above another. It isn't cast. The pack adds an Extended Crafting Ender Crafter recipe that builds it on top of Budding Uranium GeOre, so you need uranium casting working before you can reach it.^[3]

Step 3: Turn shards into useful items

Every geore type has the same three shard recipes. You can compress shards into a geore block, make a tinted glass, or craft a spyglass. Copper is a handy example.^[3]

The pack ties GeOre into other mods through recipes. Shards smelt into ingots from other mods, shards and blocks melt into fluids, budding blocks can be cast, and a few Ender Crafter recipes use GeOre items.^[3]

Smelting shards into other mods' items

The pack changed the smelting and blasting recipes for GeOre shards so they give items from other mods. Both the furnace and the blast furnace have a recipe for each shard.^[3]

• Aluminum GeOre Shard, Lead GeOre Shard, Nickel GeOre Shard, Osmium GeOre Shard, Platinum GeOre Shard, Silver GeOre Shard, Tin GeOre Shard, Uranium GeOre Shard and Zinc GeOre Shard give the matching AllTheOres ingots, for example Tin Ingot and Osmium Ingot.^[3]
• Ruby GeOre Shard and Sapphire GeOre Shard give Ruby and Sapphire.^[3]
• Tungsten GeOre Shard gives Tungsten Ingot, an item from Modern Industrialization.^[3]

Tin IngotChanged by the pack

Furnace (geore)

• Tin GeOre Shard

Recipe id: geore:tin_from_smelting_tin_shard

One example: the pack's furnace recipe for tin. The blasting recipe has the same input and output.

Melting in Productive Metalworks

Productive Metalworks can melt GeOre shards and GeOre blocks into molten fluids, and the pack changed these melting recipes. Most of them give the matching Productive Metalworks fluid, such as Molten Iron or Molten Diamond. Coal GeOre melts into Molten Carbon.^[3]

Ruby, sapphire and topaz are the exceptions. They melt into Molten Ruby, Molten Sapphire and Molten Topaz, which are not Productive Metalworks fluids.^[3]

100× Molten RubyChanged by the pack

Item Melting (productivemetalworks)

• Ruby GeOre Shard

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:melting/geore/ruby_shard

Ruby GeOre shards melt into molten ruby, one of the exceptions above.

Casting budding blocks

The pack adds block casting recipes in Productive Metalworks that make budding GeOre blocks. Each recipe accepts any fluid in the matching molten tag. The result is the budding block for that material, for example Budding Osmium GeOre or Budding Quartz GeOre.^[3]

Budding Osmium GeOreAdded by the pack

Block Casting (productivemetalworks)

• Sand 1x
• 900× any molten osmium

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:kjs/184b6lo8wgblbh32blu2iihbr

Casting Budding Osmium Geore, one of the pack's casting recipes. The sand here is Sand 1x from All the Compressed.

Budding Black Quartz GeOre is the odd one out. It is cast from molten quartz with Red Sand 1x instead of regular sand.^[3]

Budding Black Quartz GeOreAdded by the pack

Block Casting (productivemetalworks)

• Red Sand 1x
• 900× any molten quartz

Recipe id: productivemetalworks:kjs/1z9orke1ay92bexyeqyt78cvv

The red sand recipe for black quartz.

Ender Crafter recipes

Three recipes added by the pack use the Extended Crafting Ender Crafter to link GeOre with other mods.^[3]

• The first recipe below makes Flawless Budding Certus Quartz, an Applied Energistics 2 item.^[3]
• The second recipe below makes Budding Uraninite GeOre.^[3]
• Vibranium Ingot needs Crystaltine Ingot plus GeOre shards: Diamond GeOre Shard, Emerald GeOre Shard, Gold GeOre Shard, Iron GeOre Shard, Quartz GeOre Shard, Uraninite GeOre Shard and Uranium GeOre Shard.^[3]

GeOre shows up in one quest in this pack, and it sits in Chapter 2: The Cool Parts. The quest is called "GeOre" quest, and it unlocks after an earlier quest in the same chapter.^[1]

The GeOre quest

The quest's task is the item Budding Iron GeOre. The quest text calls GeOre the pack's main automation for resources.^[1]

They work like Budding Amethyst or Certus. Crystals grow out of any side of the block if there is room. The big difference is that you can pick up GeOres with a pickaxe, even without Silk Touch.^[1]

To get your resource, mine the crystals off the budding block and smelt them into an ingot.^[1]

Order

This is the only quest in the sources that involves the mod, so there is no longer chain to follow. You reach it partway through Chapter 2, once its prerequisite quest is done.^[1]
