RowanSkie If it was just about drying, yeah, but potash needs also be cooked in a pot (hence the name!) and I wanted the process to be kinda realistic, as potash is quite OP. (Unfortunately, it is not possible to set the cooking time or temperature for cooking recipes, so this was quite spoiling the idea...) I'm open for other suggestions, tho :)

💬 RowanSkie, Apr 11th at 2:55 PM

Wouldn't the drying process also work better by using vanilla drying systems like those for bowstaves and cheese?

It should, it just adds recipes for items that are already in Expanded Matter. If there is anything not working or throwing errors, please ping me on Discord and I'll fix them.

Does this work in 1.20.x?

I just updated my old potash making mod and incidentally added the ability to use lye for leathermaking, if you want that feature. I think it's reasonably balanced, since you need 25 logs plus additional fuel to burn them for a barrel of lye. Plus sealing it for 12 hours. Lime and borax are more convenient if they are available, especially if you have a windmill to auto grind it all. I know people who use homemade wood ash lye for bucking hides, all it takes is a strong enough alkaline solution.

Michael00181 Not yet, and if I add it, care needs to be take to not destroy the VS progression that you need lime to make limewater and leather.

💬 Michael00181, Jun 27th 2024 at 12:57 AM

can we make lye from ash to use in leather making using this mod?
