Some of the Hermits started their own create server a while back. Their cobble gen uses 0 drills and instead breaks blocks with a mechanical piston. It's pretty incredible.

[@snakeman830]

Yeah, I am 100% implementing that cobblestone generator in my next create world. It is so fast and comparatively cheap.

[@TheQuinn50]

the generator by @Triobian is the best one ive seen out there.

[@creeperking3472]

It's also WAY more efficient than that cobble gen

[@nologin5375]

Yep, using a bearing is also incredibly efficient, and if you time it with the generation of cobblestone for the maximum generation rate you can get ridiculous amounts

[@quartzar]

I thought zero drills was the standard for mid-late game cobble gen, was quite surprised that polartt is showing a drill setup as a 'late-game' cobble gen.

[@YeetThyMeat]

My buddies started playing Create just yesterday, they're absolutely gonna love this Finally having a quick tutorial for a cheap iron farm is great, doin the lord's work out here

[@IanDresarie]

At the risk of drawing out the video, I'd really like to see a timed timelapse next time where you gather and set up the early game version in survival and give us an idea of the time and effort needed. Day 1 seems very optimistic imo, just gathering that wool would take a fair bit of time :)

[@optionalcoast7478]

yeah my thoughts also i dont think all that can be made in 24 min after starting a world

[@BananaCoder]

If you spend some time gathering wood, I believe he did say that it can be run with 11 waterwheels.

[@ixi4390]

I think day 1 as irl day, not in game day.

[@BluyeSlime]

Great video! i've just started a server with create and havent played it in a while, so this was a great refresher!

[@TizonaAmanthia]

thanks for including the stress/rpm's for the different machines, that's something other tutorials don't provide in a good clear manner. I did see a fun compact machine I want to try, that's solid midgame, but including the early game one I thiiiink i might also do. just to get some resources starting to roll in.

[@twelved3719]

Many people said this already but imma go a little more into detail. Theres a way better cobble generation mechanism using pipes to make lava touch water, since its faster than having it flow by itself, and a mechanical piston that crashes a structure into the generated cobble, replacing it with said structure, making the cobble pop out

[@novaenricarter705]

Looks wonderful! I definitely need to dig deeper into the create mod

[@germans_lol7259]

Another probably more cheaper way to do the cobble farm is to have a rotating platform make it break. When the platform moves it becomes an entity and if you have a set up where cobblestone forms, then you can basically make something that works very fast at a cheaper price. When the rotating blocks go back in place, it becones a block again, breaking the cobblestone that generated there.

[@kaldislp7241]

That feels kinda cheesy, but it would be quite a lot cheaper

[@troybaxter]

You don't even need a rotating platform. Use a cart assembly with ice and water above some pumps. The ice briefly becomes an entity allowing for cobblestone to form above the pumps, and then when the ice reforms back to normal blocks, the cobblestone immediately breaks.

[@Unleashed75]

So basically, you mean the same idea as what TangoTec showed off in his Create series

[@stuffidowhenimbored2219]

DAYUM, Very helpful video. Good observation for realizing that those other iron farm videos where for late game!

[@EvGamerBETA]

I don't think that farming iron is as satisfying as absolutely destroying the environment with massive drills

[@chrissant6277]

Oh thanks for showing the mill grinder alternative. I always saw the crushing wheel being the only way and there isnt a nether fortress within 500 blocks in all directions of my portal, so thanks

[@existereOracle]

im so glad your back man ive missed your vids!

[@theterminado8638]

I’m glad you’re recording again, I missed the creat videos

[@bonicle7610]

YESSS THE POLARTT RENNAISSANCE IS HERE i really missed calming create tutorials with louie zong music in the background

[@BWA_O]

cobble-gravel-sand works. so a contraption that creates all three types as well as clay blocks, stone, and glass. so you would have a building block storage

[@kelazun]

Yesss day 1 setups are always fun to see

[@blitzthunderYT]

even if there are a mil videos for or from create mod yours always is the best i dont know how but im being really honest

[@theorangeheadedfella]

Hey Polartt, I think a good video idea is one on those stockpile switches and a good explanation of them. They seem quite complex and personally I don't understand them very well

[@optionalcoast7478]

i think they just send a redstone signal when the container they are connected to becomes full

[@deepfryedumbrellas4625]

HES BACK!!!! Ive just started a create A&B and youre carrying me thru it!

[@J_vb]

Ty for the vid once again :D The music is just a tad loud at the start ^~^ (just as a head up :D )

[@dizzyheads]

1:04 Being able tp visualize certain parts of this whole thing like this is genius Take my like

[@Mysda_]

Great stuff!

[@wisecrack3461]

Managed to create a simple temp filter by having a 1 block gap between the end of the belt and the chest, then used a lava bucket underneath said gap. Fill the chest with iron nuggets (or dirt until you have enough nuggets) and all the non-nuggets will get burnt.

[@kylorde1608]

You should check out the cobblestone farm tangotek made, its output is absolutely nuts

[@MathewSan_]

Great video 👍🔝

[@clatcher1483]

Very nice fromat. It would be nice to see the same with the gold farm.

[@fidekbarrol3127]

when create above and beyond ,bro? i love that serie

[@rayhsc1680]

Christ! I almost forgot that this awesome channel exists

[@rakutso6375]

So, I made the iron farm, but when I went to power everything and using a rotation speed controller to get the rotation to -64 it breaks certain gears, is there any way to prevent that at all?

[@mqnchy7981]

Instead of the long belt u can use tool boxes with funnels for filtering

[@Unlogo]

I would love to see an Iron farm that uses Triobians Cobblegenerator, as it is very efficient

[@avimly]

Que suerte la mía haberte conocido hoy día , día de ma la madre porque vaya pedazo de MADRE es esa máquina amigo 😮❤

[@Saber64]

Hey. A quick couple of questions on the advanced iron farm. Did you set it up so that the cart rotation is locked? Also, how did you get the redstone link onto the cart assembler?

[@WolfTyca]

Maybe passive and neutral mob farms will be great: wool, leather, meat, piglin trade with gold farm.

[@brycesabin4787]

How to set up the water wheels? I've been messing with it but cant seem to get it for the first beginner schematic

[@pimmus1]

What do i need to do after i placed the scamatic (the decorated one) because i gave it wood but the contraption isnt moving

[@HerrGru]

amazing toutorial

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @polartt! Can't wait for the next video man! I remember @TangoTek building a Cobblestone Generator on his Create Mod Server with @Keralis, @ZedaphPlays, @GoodTimeswithScar and @Bdouble00 where he just breaks the Blocks by moving the Glass Blocks by the Water and the Lava Pumps back and forth. They pop up on the Water and get Washed down into a Line of Chests that then Funnel down into an Item Vault where it then gets Loaded onto one of Keralis' Trains for the Central Factory Area. It's very Interesting to look at that and maybe see how much Iron you can get from something like that!

[@xx_seeturtle_xx5694]

I appreciate the Louie Zong background music, i don't find many people who know about him :O

[@rocket0657]

please what's your pc config and do you have tips to run the create mod correctly or to make minecraft lag less. because i have a fairly correct config and the create mod makes my minecraft lag a bit...

[@existereOracle]

iirc another extremely fast cobble farm design uses a radial chasis to to instantly break the cobble by flipping another layer of blocks into the cobblestone generator

[@nbyv]

you can also just use a minecart builder on a redstone clock to do that pretty damn fast and space efficient

[@TizonaAmanthia]

you can get gold from create too, right? maybe a dried kelp block farm would be good too!

[@H1GHtr1xx_]

how to push the minecart without changing the course of the hole drill..? i tryed it 15 times and not once has it once gone straight

[@DeusVultGames]

with an andesite funnel and a toolbox one can imitate the function of a brass funnel early game. couple gold is all you need

[@crowofdionysia6200]

How are the drills being powered through the chassis

[@milesgahl2127]

you can break cobble by having a contraption replace itself, instantly breaking the cobblestone in the same blocks.

[@scygnius]

I am amazed by that level of iron production, but honestly if you're just doing a standard world, when would you need that much iron? I just make a simple one a couple days into the game and I never run short. I'm so busy setting up other things and gathering other materials that I never run out of iron.

[@Frieren_Lienel]

I made a lava trash sytem with a grabber, and i didnt know it takes items from nearby chests, and i just knew it was burning all of my hard worked ores and treasures for the past 3hrs of gameplay, it really sucks on why they added a 2 block radius for the grabber to take items to throw

[@voidgames180]

how do you start the minecart cus i spawn it and its stationary and when i go to push it it starts to rotate the drills and im like i dont think thats right pls help

[@BuggaNoia]

Which for next contraption: Fail-safe steam boiler setup

[@optionalcoast7478]

I think a crude way to simply the early game one is to fill every slot in a double chest with one nugget negating the need for that precision timing and that belt altogether

[@optionalcoast7478]

it dose work I tested it and allows for an even simpler iron farm that uses gravity to transport items

[@blitzthunderYT]

i would like to see the andesite automated in a cheap way and small, also is it WAWLA mod that shows whats inside the millstone thingys

[@dudko1]

I think WAWLA is discontinued, he is using Jade

[@blitzthunderYT]

Oh ok

[@yalkn2073]

Why do you move the drills with minecart? You can just leave them in contraption form, no?

[@should_2mc589]

this is a good video besides the fact that you dont really get to choose exact rpms early game

[@jacoburyga7441]

where do i set up water wheels if im going that route

[@RipskyOfficials]

What modpack did you use?

[@Dr_Andracca]

If you're running tinkers you could always make an iron golem farm that feeds them into a Tinker's smeltery. That's what I'm using for my Create Above and Beyond playthrough.

[@MrMoron-qn5rx]

Thats a decent midgame option, but there is a far superior way to get loads of iron fast. I forgot the name of the block, but place lava and water next to it and it generates cobblestone about as fast as a regular generator will. however, the cobblestone is generated as a item, not a block. Not only that, but it can be upgrades with modules to generate the cobble much faster than normal. Feed the cobble to a gindwheel setup, and sell the flint for a quick profit. If you cant sell it raw try making a wood and chicken farm to turn them into arrows, which you can sell.

[@Dr_Andracca]

@@MrMoron-qn5rx is that available in Above and Beyond?

[@thegameranch5935]

Never played tinkers Seems very complicated go my taste

[@Dr_Andracca]

@@thegameranch5935 Compared to Create or Applied Energetics it is baby stuff... I'd argue Tinkers is about the same complexity as vanilla enchanting/trading.

[@Dr_Andracca]

@the game ranch Massive clarification: Calling Tinker's "baby stuff" *was not* a swing at you. I meant it more as "Don't let it overwhelm you", but I didn't have the best choice of words there.

[@troybaxter]

You could actually make the cobblestone generator faster using a minecart assembler, pumps, pipes, a tank of lava, and a redstone clock. It is really fast.

[@skelobones]

Hey polartt, is it bad to take some iron from someone who has so much?

[@diffpizza]

Finally, a way to get iron that doesn't involve killing the poor iron golems

[@ExtinityOfficial]

fyi you can just waterlog the mechanical drills instead of using the minecart contraption

[@gasperrode4780]

why does the part of mega iron farm with the minecart spin like it has a radial cahsie

[@cadenxdthereal]

How long is the belt in the first one

[@notlark650]

when i start up the starter iron farm it tends to send the cobble flying out of the sides, is anyone else having this problem?

[@DT-pq3fr]

You can waterlog your drills

[@harrisonbiddle7467]

I realise im very late to this post but im wanting recreate the starter one and want to use the schematics, ive downloaded the file but have no idea what to do next. if anyone sees this please help.

[@V972]

Probably sdupid question, but for what version are those schematics? 1.19/1.18? And if for 1.19 will they work (from a technical standpoint) in 1.18?

[@polartt]

They are 1.19.2, but they should still work for 1.18, or maybe earlier

[@V972]

@@polartt I see, thank you for the reply!

[@BlockBlazer]

Using drills is less affective than the cobblestone generator that the hermits used.

Will this work with 1.18.2?

[@yoctometric]

STELLAR choice of opening music

[@DeadHawk23]

2:52 Why does it need to be a minecart contraption if you can put water in the drill block?

[@MartianDill]

It needs to be contraption so it can instantly pick up mined items and then transfer it via Portable Storage Interface

[@breadanator]

you should start by mining some copper and getting the copper jetpack if u have the additions and stuff extensions, if u dont, get vanilla stuff like gold copper iron etc. craft some empty blaze burners as you will be crafting brass later. youll mainly use trains for transporting later or use shulker boxes if ur in vannila

[@Scottish_Engineer]

could you make an updated verson of these farms please

[@Wrazzle]

the drill platform pivots into the machine and breaks it

[@SamuelDancingGallew]

Wait till people figure out that you can mine blocks with a mechanical piston that moves back and forth.

[@polartt]

I did know that! But I have had issues with that design in the past where if you unload the chunks and re load them, the piston will get stuck and you have to re start it

[@ProlioDoce]

@@polartt I think that can be easily solved with a spin timer

[@shamemashamema7741]

Who remember vanilla iron farms?

[@ludwigthedragon8645]

this seems a little broken now, for some reason the minecart doesn't have as much travel anymore so it doesn't break the top row of cobble and slows everything down

[@unknownkraft]

We need gold farm as well:)

[@death_is_here]

instructions unclear: i built it on a lake and it became a salmon farm

[@LaQuiLa_]

Most of the gravel keep glitching on the crushing wheel i Don’t no why

[@ChaoGirDja]

Fun thing is... An realy good Cobblegen don't use any drills at all ^^ It uses the Interaktion of open Pipes with Lava und the Fakt that Create-Entities, that going back form the "Entitistate" to normal Blocks breaks any Block wich is occupying the Space the Block want's to "Spawn" in. Cobblegen build with this Idea, are crasy fast and doesn't use many SUs.

[@lintycarcass]

Sadly, a vanilla iron farm is much cheaper than your 64 iron/h farm, and produces 5 times as much.

[@jankauza8694]

I would rather perfer to use 9 iron that move vilagers.

[@Dagobert_Doc]

[@Dagobert_Doc]

I really hope they will add some way to make the create farm better

[@PersonCalledErin]

Unless vanilla iron farms have changed since I last saw them, I'll tell you: I don't want to build a vanilla iron farm. Completely uninteresting to me. I play create BECAUSE it's fun to engineer these intuitive machines that still produce extremely well, especially if you have a server that keeps running

[@hen0tic02]

it keeps turning the lava into obsidian for the end game design, why is this happening?

“but note that anything near the cobble gen should be non-flamable” Laughs in a solid understanding of minecraft fire spread and multiple successful wooden cobble gens, plus one wooden house built directly over a lava pool, with no instances of accidental cases of burning buildings.

[@kittyn5222]

Yeah basically it spreads by one block in every direction and 4 blocks up

[@Autoskip]

@@kittyn5222 that's fire based fire spread, lava based fire spread is an inverted pyramid with the peak block where the lava is, and only spreading up two extra blocks for a maximum reach of ±2 blocks on the x and z axes. Plus, there's the complication of those blockspaces are only where the fire can appear - I've got a few spots where wooden blocks would be catching on fire if it weren't for strategically placed torches and other non-flamable wood based blocks taking up that air space.
