Complete Crafting and Mechanical Assembly Recipe Directory

Create Big Cannons adds dozens of specialized mechanical recipes spanning kinetic cutting, casting, boring, and sequential assembly to fabricate large artillery.

Cutting Moulds and Shaping Parts

Artillery manufacturing begins with shaping wooden moulds using kinetic saws:

• Autocannon Barrel Cast Mould: Cut from 1 Dark Oak Log using a mechanical saw.
• Autocannon Breech Cast Mould: Cut from 1 Dark Oak Log using a mechanical saw.
• Autocannon Cartridge Sheet: Cut from 1 Brass Sheet.

These moulds are placed inside casting basins to shape molten metals into raw cannon components.

Drill Boring Recipes

Cast cannon components emerge with rough solid cores that must be hollowed out using a Mechanical Drill driven by rotational power:

• Bronze Autocannon Barrel: Bored from 1 Unbored Bronze Autocannon Barrel.
• Bronze Cannon Barrel: Bored from 1 Unbored Bronze Cannon Barrel.
• Bronze Cannon Chamber: Bored from 1 Unbored Bronze Cannon Chamber.

Boring requires proper RPM and alignment to prevent damaging the unfinished cannon block.

Sequential Assembly Recipes

Complex mechanical parts require staged sequential assembly using deployers and presses:

• Big Cartridge: Assembled sequentially from Big Cartridge Sheet using deployers.
• Bronze Autocannon Breech Extractor: Formed sequentially from 1 Bronze Ingot.
• Cast Iron Autocannon Breech Extractor: Formed sequentially from 1 Cast Iron Ingot.

Specialized Crafting Tools

• Cannon Welder: Used to fuse multi-layer cannon barrels and reinforced sleeves together.
• Cannon Crafting Wand: Instantly completes casting, boring, and assembly cycles during testing.
• Block Armor Inspection Tool: Measures the Toughness and Hardness of blocks against projectile impacts.

Material Tiers and Pressure Tolerances

Create Big Cannons features several distinct metallurgical tiers with unique pressure capabilities:

• Cast Iron: The entry-level metal suitable for basic mortars and short-barrel field guns, but vulnerable to bursting under high propellant charges.
• Bronze: Offers superior barrel resilience and rapid heat dissipation, making it ideal for naval cannons and medium artillery.
• Steel and Nethersteel: High-strength alloys that handle extreme chamber pressures for long-range rifled siege guns and multi-stage autocannons.

Workshop Tooling Best Practices

When establishing an artillery production facility, organize workstations in sequence:

• Place casting basins next to foundry smelters to minimize molten metal transport times.
• Position horizontal boring lathes along an aligned kinetic shaft line running at consistent rotational speed.
• Set up automated belts feeding machined parts directly into assembly deployers for hands-free munitions fabrication.
• Secure finished artillery sections on depot shelves before assembling them with cannon mounts.
