Talk:Tar/@comment-98.167.19.90-20150816091842

Found a patch of tar, and smacked it with an axe, because smacking things is what you do in minecraft. Saw the progress percentage on the tooltip actually count up a little bit, so out of curiosity, I sat with a pick and dug at it. Didn't think to look at the time, but it took roughly 1.5 seconds per percentage, which meant 150 seconds, or two and a half minutes. But it did let me dig it up, and without silk touch, I still got the blocks (all 51 of them at once, thanks to Veinminer). Alumite pick from Tinkers Construct (boosted to Ardite level), with Haste 1 on it. Using fully-updated RR3 pack, but don't know which version of Fossils is in it. Not sure if that made a difference, but there you go.

If you DO decide to harvest the tar, DON'T FOREGET TO ACTIVATE VEINMINER. 51 blocks at 2.5 minutes = 127 minutes, or just over two hours.
