[Solved] I don't understand the mortar recipe

[Ace5 7]

Limewater is now only crafted in a barrel. Ratio is 2 flux to each bucket of water.

Mortar is now only crafted in a barrel. Ratio is 1 Sand to each bucket of lime water gives 1 mortar. Must be sealed for at least 8 hours to complete.

 

I'm not sure how to do this. Could someone quickly explain? I'm sure this is something I'm just not getting.

Easy. for Limewater, fill a bucket with water, then add flux into the gui slot. there's only one there when you add liquid, but you will probably need a good amount. (Think it's 24 for a full barrel, not sure.)I don't think the mortar one is actually the case. as I recall. You craft a single sand block, over a piece of flux, and a water bucket below. need the 3x3 crafting grid though.

It was changed in 79.7 update so you can't make mortar like that anymore. I think I may have figured it out, I'll have to do some testing first.

 

EDIT: I figured it out. You make the limewater then place the sand in the liquid slot. I knew it was something stupid that I missed. Bloody hell, that's a huge nerf to mortar though. Gone are the times where you can make 8 stacks in a few minutes.

Have you seen how much you get from a full barrel? Pretty sure I won't need any for a very long time.  I removed several stacks and barely drained the barrel. I prefer the new method. No making 16 at a time with a single bucket of water.

Oh! It's 16 per bucket, I thought 16 per barrel. I was about to make 8 barrels.

i'm hoping the wiki can be updated too, i keep going there to see the recipee, but its outdated

The wiki is slowly getting updated. Kitty does nearly all the updating. The devs want an accurate wiki with quality information. They are picky about who they allow to edit it due to the misinformation, honest mistakes and misunderstandings like those seen in this thread, that was rampant before. I've been playing quite a lot again since build 78 and only now beginning to feel I have a good enough grasp to start trying to contribute. And that is only for a few parts of game.

Some of the wiki pages are updated. For instance, the Barrel page has the mortar information on it:
