Let’s discuss fuel, because this may be more relevant with the auto-crafter coming.
I’m team charcoal, specifically giant jungle trees. Does everything regular coal does except coal blocks, need a lot of charcoal and sticks anyway for torches and tools, giant trees consistently produce over a stack, and lumberjacking is just a relaxing way to pass the time.
with the crafters coming next update, kelp is objectively the best fuel source, you can make a farm that will automatically collect,dry and block up kelp infinite renewable fuel that smelts 20 items per block
A giant tree can grow, be harvested, a cooked into charcoal before you can produce 10 kelp blocks.
number one thats definitely untrue, kelp farms are simply more efficient, number two your tree wont plant itaelf,bonemeal itself,put itself in a furnace,fuel itself without you having to manually do that
youre just delusional if you think charcoal is even NEARLY as efficient, hell bamboo farms are a more efficient fuel source
