Producing Estrogen

This guide assumes that you already understand the fundamentals of Create. If you're new to Create, give this video a watch!

Due to the complexity of Create: Estrogen and Create itself, we recommend the use of a recipe viewer such as EMI. Recipes will be presented as required, however there's much more to offer to the mod than what's outlined in this guide.

First Steps

All good estrogen farms start with one vital ingredient: horse urine. This is obtained by right-clicking a horse with an empty bottle. There isn't any cooldown, but please be ethical...

Manually extracting urine from a horse using an empty glass bottle

Alternatively, a deployer can also be used to automatically extract ungodly amounts of urine from horses.

Automatically extracting urine from a horse using a deployer

Important

When using this method, make sure to set a filter on the deployer so the right items are extracted!

Urine Filter

Once you've extracted a decent amount of horse urine, use an item drain to separate the urine from its bottle. This should then be moved manually using a bucket or piped using a mechanical pump into a fluid tank.

Emptying horse urine bottles through an item drain

From here, you'll need to set up a basin with a mechanical mixer. Dump or pump the horse urine into the basin, along with a list filter. When mixed, this will produce a filthy used list filter and filtrated horse urine. To clean the used list filter, place it on a depot under a spout filled with water.

Filtering horse urine with a basin and mechanical mixer, then washing the used list filter under a water spout

Now, move the filtrated horse urine into another fluid tank using a bucket or mechanical pump. It's recommended to use the latter since it's a vital step towards automatic estrogen production.

Using a smart fluid pipe to only pump filtrated horse urine out of the basin

Important

If you're using a mechanical pump, make sure to use a smart fluid pipe so that the unfiltrated horse urine doesn't contaminate your fresh, clean, filtrated horse urine.

High Speed

Everything up to this point could be done without much effort. However, this is where things get serious. You'll need at least 2048 stress units available to continue. This could be done with a windmill, plenty of water wheels, a steam engine, etc. As such, we've moved our demonstration to a more fitting location.

Visualization of the Centrifuge's crafting recipe

The centrifuge requires a speed of 256 rotations per minute! This is the maximum speed of vanilla Create. Due to this requirement, it will always use the 2048 stress units while active. Place it on top of a fluid tank containing filtrated horse urine, then place another empty fluid tank on top of the centrifuge. If done right, you'll see the filtrated horse urine in the lower half, and a blue fluid in the upper half of the centrifuge. When connected and spinning at the right speed, the upper fluid tank will now slowly start to fill with liquid estrogen!

Using a centrifuge to convert filtrated horse urine into liquid estrogen, then chaining two together

As seen above, centrifuges can be chained together to increase the production speed of your estrogen. It serves as a cogwheel, meaning it must also be connected to a cogwheel to rotate.

Warning

Mod packs or servers can modify the required rotations per minute! This may affect the stress units used by the centrifuge. Check with the developers if you suspect that this value has been changed.

Tip

Not working? Use a speedometer to ensure the centrifuge is spinning exactly at the required speed.

The Summit

Congratulations! You have successfully produced estrogen! 🎉

With this, you can dump it into a bucket to place it in your world, spout it onto a cookie to create estrogen pills, bake a delicious estrogen cookie and play some tunes, discover a new way to traverse the world, achieve self-realization, and much more.

Showcasing various essential recipes and items that utilize liquid estrogen

The mod's blocks, items, concepts, and more can be found in the sidebar, however it's recommended to discover some things for yourself! There are many secrets and Easter eggs hidden throughout.
