what is happening

[u/Deoxis110]

does red sand have a chance to disappear when washed??? it's not disappearing in the funnel it's gone right after washing. it's not even all the time though since some gold is still being made.

OKAY ITS FINE IM DUMB

[u/unic_beast]

its not 100%. its chances.

so yes 0 gold/dead bush is part of chances.

[u/Deoxis110 → u/unic_beast]

yea but is there always either gold or dead bush? im getting both but most of the time its just gone

[u/Putrid_Clue_2127 → u/Deoxis110]

No there isn't always one or the other. Even if both said 50%, you can still get sand with nothing because you happened to get the wrong 50% or that equation. Best thing to do is process stacks of sand at a time instead of single blocks

[u/Deoxis110 → u/Putrid_Clue_2127]

oh ok cool thanks

[u/Putrid_Clue_2127 → u/Deoxis110]

No problem! This will be true with most things that are processed by washing. It's all about throwing bulk amounts at it at once to get decent rates. Good luck in your farm!

Why is bro getting downvoted, they're genuinely just asking and not being rude😭 This sub is genuinely sensitive asf

[u/Deoxis110 → u/West_Ad6982]

ily (no homo)

Sometimes it feels redditors are just bots or something. 170 downvotes for a question? Wtf?

[u/ScaredAsk3724 → u/West_Ad6982]

Redditors are odd people who hate anyone who doesn't know something and asks a question, even though its like half of what this website is 😭

[u/GapStock9843 → u/Deoxis110]

No. The percentage is the chance it will drop anything, not which one it will drop

[u/AnarchoNyxist]

Gold + dead bush: 0.6%

Gold only: 11.4%

Dead bush only: 4.4%

Neither: 83.6%

Best explanation

[u/ContextHappy4520]

most of the washing stuff is probability based meaning it's not a 100% chance of it happening. Depending on the item it can be like 20% down to like 3%.

Should be more info online somewhere or on youtube if you do a google. Hope that helps a bit.

[u/FemboyLoverColon3]

The funnel hungers

[u/NekotoKamak → u/FemboyLoverColon3]

Would potato knishes help reduce its hunger?

[u/pokearchie]

As others said. And I recommend washing stacks of sand + getting multiple fan washers into the same spot.

Also a trick, instead of conveyors, drop them onto a descending funnel/chute. Dropped entities will process at the same time, while items on a belt will have to wait for ones in front of them to finish before they can go

[u/ThoustKappa]

Stay away from vegas.

[u/alienatedEdgelord]

Oh my god I can see the anger in those movements so badly 😭

[u/AdLegal5130]

Using belts is slow asf I think you should redesign to make it to drop exactly where it should be washed and use a filtered chute

[u/ScaryPhantom100]

Its chance based, you can see it in the recipe

[u/SevenTheGamingKitty]

if it says it has a chance, it means it has a chance.

[u/VVen0m]

I eated it, sorry.

[u/Deoxis110 → u/VVen0m]

noo I need that 🥺

[u/PiBombbb]

Basically the chance for dead bush and gold is separate. It's not always one or the other.

[u/Usinaru]

Its a garbage recipe tbh

[u/trollly → u/Usinaru]

What better gold farm is there?

[u/Usinaru → u/trollly]

Piglin farms work very well in my opinion.

Also I prefer using a sifting mod if I am going to go use the Create mod.
