Cobblestone factory anyone?
Well, since everyone who has ever been online with me knows about my connection problems, I've spent these two days not online by working on a cobblestone factory which is really efficient. It's not the fastest, it generates about 77 cobblestones per minute, while the record that I can find on the net is about 81 cobblestones per minute, but whilst it is very fast, it has the disadvantage that you can easily damage the machinery. So I actually thought of building from scratch a cobblestone factory with similar speed but not as brittle, so I present to you The Beast.
now this is the part that I'm really proud of, the red wools you see over here is the detector to check if the cobblestone has reached the edge, and if it does, it will push the red wools, cutting the current from that one torch, and then activating two circuits, one which will push all the resulting cobblestones forward, and the other is the reloader, to cut the current to the pistons, and then reloading the detector into the detecting position. The detector has to be refreshed after each session ends (after the machine stopped because it can't push anymore, which is about after 6 stacks), but this is rather beneficial because all the cobbles then formed into one huge slab which can be easily mined.
the fourth picture is the final result after it is being run for 5 minutes, exactly 6 stacks of cobblestone produced and lined up, ready for harvest, the cobble slab is 8x12x4 and the whole machinery is 23x18x12, so I'm asking everyone here whether this will be worthy enough to put on the server, might be useless though :lol:
the ingredients would take about a stack of pistons, one sticky pistons and perhaps a stack of redstone and a half-stack of repeaters, a bucket of lava would be enough, and 4 buckets of water.
