Crafting Solid Tiles (Nature Reserves or Nature Farms)
What Material do you want?
The Build
You have to basically create a casting Mold in which you place your Material.
Under your Material you will need Metal Tiles and some radiant liquid or gas pipes running through it.
Some isolated Tiles to control the temperature spread in the desired direction.
In my case you see a second line of pipes going through the placed Material, I would advice to place them 1 tile above or somewhere else, since they get stuck in your solid Material if you want to remove/delete them afterwards.
My finished dirt tiles got cracked and had 'Buried Objects' in them when I tried to remove the Pipes.
Dont worry Pips can still place Seeds in them.
You might want to Sweep the materials the Storage bins were made out of before you heat your desired Materials.
The Process
Close off the room your natural Tiles will be in and suck out any gases, since we dont want the gases to eat all the Temperature. (Vacuum)
After you placed your desired Material with the desired mass on each metal tile, you need to warm them up.
I did it with a fairly easy Method you can quickly get to.
Using a Metal Refinery with crude Oil as cooling liquid in a Loop. For power you can use 2 big Batteries and a Dupe Wheel. Start with Iron, Steel or Aluminium since you will get the most heat out of it.
If the crude oil reaches Temperatures close to 300°C, switch to Gold Amalgam till it has cooled of enough for Iron to be used again.
Also be sure of all Melting Points in your System. (Lead Pipes or Tiles start melting when reaching about 325°C)
It will take a couple of runs till the Area has heated up enough, but you will get there.
The Moment your Material reached the desired Temperature it will transform to a Solid block.
Fertilizer -> 125°C -> Dirt.Endgame
