[@mehuminz665]

Actually you dont need high sped for fans. They speed of washing is not affected by the rotation speed

[@J.Darwin]

I really like this design. Getting 4860 ingots/hour, replaced the normal chutes above the crushing wheels with smart chutes and set them to drop stacks of 64 only since crushing wheels take like 18 seconds to crush a stack and 11s to crush 32, 7s to crush 16 and so on. Also the comment saying you only need 5 crushing wheels is right. Very nice, appreciate the tutorial a lot and you explained it very well (saw the cobble gen in another video but struggled to follow the steps there).

[@martinys8928]

How ? They cant join the normal chutes.

[@jcofortco]

Nice. Like both designs. Gotta make some room for the Big Boy but excited to see how much I can get!

[@Eidolonian]

That was an exceptionally good video. I would love to see more of these kind of videos. Maybe add schematics for the Schem cannon to. Also you can make a similar system but instead of using water you can use milk and milkshakes to create special cobble for grinding and washing into other stuff like gold red stone etc. I would love to see what you could build doing that :)

I'll make sure to take a look into other things like this, but thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it. :)

I was trying to make an automated cobblestone farm so I just came to this video and listened to the first part. Thanks to you, I’m making 10k blocks of cobblestone every 30 minutes instead of an hour. Oh and also I made multiple of the iron farms and made a cargo train carrying it to another friend of mine for trading. I appreciate this video you have made. Thanks!

Btw 1st Iron farm requires Nether for quartz. That is just for the filter tho. Also setting an iron nugget as the filter is better to just get iron

[@Jellie2874]

hey this is satisfactory music!

[@Mangoesy]

Slightly inefficiënt use of the amount of crushing wheels, you could reach the same output with 5 sets of crushing wheels. Considering crushing a stack of cobblestone takes 3.85 seconds and the farm outputs around 300k cobble an hour. 300000 / 3600 * 3.85 / 64 = 5.01.. stacks per 3.85 seconds. Considering the number of stacks is a tad higher then 5 you could add another crushing wheel to fully optimise it. I don't know the exact output so if it were just below 300k an hour 5 sets of wheels would be fine and if just a bit higher you can add a 6th set. If you adjust the farm and use less crushing wheels you could save around 12-16k SU, which makes the farm able to be powered easily with 1 small lava powered boiler (or atleast a smaller power source).

[@jragon4176]

I see what you mean, but for that to work you'd have to use all smart chutes under the cobble generator rather than normal chutes, which i prefer to use as they are much cheaper.

The advanced design seems really effective, but I'm having a spilling problem and cobblestone kinda flies everywhere. Even upgraded those andesite funnels into brass ones to see if that would help. It didn't

[@flg_doom5459]

Hey, great video and explanation. Unfortunately i've got a problem, where after a few back and forths the cobblestone on the side with the 160rpm speed controller, generates faster than the gantry can destroy it, so the gentry gets stuck after around 3 seconds of producing. If anyone knows how to fix this issue, i would really appreciate it. Still great video :D Edit: i fixed it, i had the overlapping andesite funnels on the wrong side, my bad. Really nice video

[@PlayerJohn17]

Nice design, though i wonder why did you use water streams instead of mechanical belts.

[@pxgenickbruch3232]

i thinks its more compact. imagine trying to fiddle with the shafts etc. cheaper too 👍

[@PlayerJohn17]

@@pxgenickbruch3232 honestly, i think that water streams will cause more lag than mechanical belts, and the thing with it being more compact? I don’t really think it is more compact given the fact that water needs support in order to not let the items fall.

I imagine it’ll work the same way as long as you have all the same parts, like gantry’s, rotational speed controllers, etc. If it doesn’t then let me know and I’ll attempt to make the same thing but for 1.18 and have a download link for the schematic.

very cool! but i have a genuine question, why do people need so much iron? is there practical use for this? ive been looking for iron farm ideas but on a smaller scale

[@jragon4176]

Lots of items use iron, especially for farms because of hoppers. So making huge farms for iron is good for making other farms easier to build. Plus some mods could use more iron than normal for their things, just depends on what mods people are playing with.

[@jragon4176]

@@bruhframe5604 The main issues i had was a lot to do with freezes & frame drops somehow. I have a pretty decent computer, more higher end than probably most, But it still had issues running it.

[@bruhframe5604]

@4176Oh, yeah the next update might fix that! I found reports that Had Enough Items caused freezes, basically similar to the random dips of frame rates you experienced when playing, even when not exploring. Had Enough Items tries to optimize memory, so I assume it had a memory leak causing these issues and replaced it with Just Enough items, the og mod This theory is further supported by the fact that optifine players had the same issue, although they had to remove performence mods in the pack to play with Optifine meaning it was not a issue with a performence mod I installed My testers so far havent experienced the issue so its a good sign but I still say maybe just incase it is not gone Basically the new modpack update dropping in a few hours fixes that issue most likely Although you did already try it, I guess it would be too late now to retry it in the future :(

For some reason the mechanical press is compacting the iron into trapdoors. I have both the fans and press on maximum speed and checked by cog stacking. It still presses into ironblocks but seems inefficient and i cant find a fix for it

[@jragon4176]

Make sure you set a filter in the basin itself. If you dont then it'll make whatever recipe it can, which means it'll start making trap doors.

[@gratenbrecher609]

also im interested, how do the gantrys go back and forth? for me if my gantry hits an end it just stays there till i change the rotation direction

[@jragon4176]

Both gantrys are glued together, so they should move back and forth on their own as when one hits the end of its line, the other activates and pulls it back. You need to make sure that both the gantry lines are not connected in the middle, and are 2 separate lines. (Shown at 8:11)

Hello, i would like to build this farm in my minecraft world, how many Stress Unit do you think it needs, i already have a boiler setup that generates about 145k su, is it enough?

it's about 2 months late, but i am wondering about how lag/fps efficient or inefficient this would be. I could likely make this farm far off and set up some chunkloaders, but i am worried my pc and server wont be able to handle this.

[@jragon4176]

The lag only comes from the cobblestone farm as it’s generating and breaking a lot every second, so it wouldn’t be too server intensive I imagine, but being near it would cause lag. So you don’t have to build it super far out, but just out of the way enough so you can load it when you want to would work.

[@greenbeans12]

@@jragon4176 I'd assume just sticking it farther off and putting a chunk loader there would work too, no? And for powering this, how much SU is needed? I have a compact level 9 boiler I could use for this, but I'm wondering how much is required.

Make sure the gantry system is moving how its supposed to, and that its all glued together correctly (To the trap doors and funnels as well) Make sure that the all of the funnels are facing the correct way (Shift clicking will make them face outwards which would pull items from the inventory their connected too)

The cobblestone should be collected in the barrel on the gantry system, then dropped through the brass funnel into the andesite funnels connected to the vault, so its hard to pin point what’s wrong without being able to see what you’ve built, but definitely check on those things first.

Make sure that the rotational speed controllers are set correctly, and that the funnels on the side of the vault are the correct way around (The arrow pointing inwards towards the vault), those 2 things can make it not work in the slightest. also make sure your press is at max speed as that can bottleneck the compression of the iron nuggets

Why useing water for item movement vs a vault or belts?

[@jragon4176]

The fans wash items if they're just on the ground way faster than if it were on belts, and using vaults would be a bit complicated with how close everything is together. So it is easier to use water for funneling the gravel into 1 spot.

How much lag does the farm create?

[@kubapotera3127]

While not speaking from experience with this exact farm, I imagine it is comparable to many vanilla item farms. If you want to cut down on the lag I strongly recommend replacing any areas with floating items (like when they're getting washed by the fans or falling through the crushing wheels) with conveyor belts as those are technically inventories and greatly reduce lag

[@jragon4176]

I havent used it a ton but it does create a little bit of lag while the cobble generator is on, if you have cobblestone already in the vault and are just running the gravel washing stuff then its not bad at all. the lag comes from the amount of cobble being generated and broken at the same time.
