TFC Glass Workshop

Description

TerraFirmaCraft: Glass Workshop expands TFC glass production with one focused machine: the Glass Press.

Instead of replacing TerraFirmaCraft's glass systems, this add-on builds on them. You still heat glass batches with TFC mechanics, still work with metal and ceramic molds, and still rely on TFC-style progression. The press simply gives you a batch-production step for turning hot glass batches into finished glass products.

The Glass Press requires mechanical power from above. Faster rotation means faster pressing. It can produce glass blocks, glass panes, TFC glass bottles, jars, lamp glass, and lenses depending on the installed mold.

For colored glass, the press includes three powder slots and supports the same powder combinations used by TFC glassworking. Add the right powders, install a block or plate mold, and press dyed glass blocks or panes directly.

Features

• Glass Press machine for TFC-style batch glass production
• Requires TFC mechanical power from the top
• Uses hot TFC glass batches and TFC heat data
• 6 mold shapes:
  • Plate
  • Block
  • Bottle
  • Jar
  • Lamp Glass
  • Lens
• Permanent wrought iron and steel molds
• Ceramic molds made with clay knapping and firing
• Ceramic molds have a chance to break during pressing
• Powder dyeing for glass blocks and panes
• JEI recipe category for pressing recipes
• Integrated TFC Field Guide entries
• Bottom hopper extraction only pulls finished output

How To Use

1. Heat a TFC glass batch to at least Faint Red.
2. Place it in the Glass Press input slot.
3. Insert a matching press mold.
4. For dyed glass, add the required powders to the three powder slots.
5. Power the Glass Press from the top with TFC mechanical power.
6. Collect the output manually or with a hopper underneath.

Automation

The Glass Press is automation-friendly:

• Top: mechanical power input
• Bottom: output-only item access
• Other sides: inventory access for automation setups

This prevents a hopper below the press from stealing glass batches, molds, or powders.

Chinese Description

群峦传说：玻璃工艺 为 TFC 添加了一台轻量的玻璃压制机，用于批量生产玻璃制品。

它不替代 TFC 原有玻璃体系：玻璃原料仍然需要通过 TFC 的加热机制烧到足够温度，压制机也需要从顶部接入 TFC 机械动力。玩家可以安装不同形状的模具，将高温玻璃原料压制成玻璃块、玻璃板、TFC 玻璃瓶、空罐、灯罩和透镜。

压制机还提供 3 个粉末槽，兼容 TFC 原版玻璃工艺的粉末染色组合，可直接压制染色玻璃块和染色玻璃板。

核心特性：

• 新机器：玻璃压制机
• 需要顶部机械动力
• 支持 TFC 热量检测
• 6 种模具形状
• 永久使用的锻铁/钢模具
• 便宜但可能破碎的陶瓷模具
• TFC 原版粉末染色兼容
• JEI 配方显示
• 集成进 TFC Field Guide
• 下方漏斗只会抽出成品，不会抽走原料、模具或粉末
