A Viewer made my Copper Factory Obsolete

Literally less than a day after my previous video went live and somebody contacted me on discord with a more advanced theory of copper oxidization along with a layout that actually made my concept obsolete. So I teamed up with them to produce a design that should be perfectly viable in survival gameplay.

@@cubicmetre I had an idea. But I don't know if it would be possible though. *Disclaimer:* I don't know how to code; I don't know how update suppressor works nor do I know how oxidation in code really works. If you manage to somehow skip a line of code where it checks the amount of unwaxed blocks; We can surround it with oxidized copper blocks, then a = 0 and c > 1. For example, there are 128 higher state copper blocks we get b = 128 and we skip the code where it checks the number of unwaxed copper blocks we get a = 0. If we put it in the equation c = b+1/a+1 => c = 129/1 => P = mc^2 => P = m129^2 => P = 16,641 => 1,664,100% LMAO

[@t_hodge_]

I absolutely love that you were able to take their suggestion like a true scientist. We don't always get it right, and it's important to entertain alternate solutions which might lead to a new, better solution. With that in mind, a nice QoL feature for this farm might also be to have a "purge" system to get all of the copper in the farm out. Having a storage with an easy to get block like cobblestone which you can place instead of copper for 5 minutes of running the farm would clear out any copper inside, then the output of the blast chamber could filter this item into a separate shulker loader for storage. That way if you only need a portion of what the farm can hold, you can easily fill with copper and purge when it's oxidized. This would add a few extra pieces to the build, but might make it nicer to use for people who don't need the entire farm's worth of copper blocks at once

This is so cool! Ever since copper was introduced, everyone just settled for using 4-block spacing, but I always wondered if copper oxidation could be made more efficient in terms of yield per required space. I'm glad to see that this is being looked into.

[@diggoran]

I think the 4 block spacing was the natural choice when copper was new, because it was the fastest way to turn your small amount of blocks oxidized as fast as possible, so you could start building with them right away. Now that more people are getting massive stockpiles of copper, being able to oxidize them all with minimal effort and minimal space is becoming the new priority :)

[@nikolasscholz7983]

Some maths: The star shape around one copper block (=4 block taxicab distance) has a=128 blocks without the center block. In this example setup we have b=39 fully oxidised copper blocks around each not fully oxidised copper block. This gives c²=9.61%. Multiply this with m=0.75 for pure copper or m=1 for any other stage and then with 64/1125 (acc to mc wiki) to get the probability to oxidise the center block when random ticked. In our example this would be 0.41% for pure copper and 0.547% for the other stages. As each block is random ticked on average each 68.27 seconds, the mean time to get a pure copper block to oxidise to exposed in the shown arrangement is 4.62 hours (16641 seconds), for the other stages 3.47 hours (12480.75 seconds). Compare this with c²=100% and either 1600seconds (26.7mins) or 1200seconds (20mins) mean oxidation time per copper block in the original setup. But even though we lost a factor of 10.4 in oxidation speed, we can now pack 83.3 blocks to oxidise into the space where only one copper block fit in the original design (cell of 5x5x5=125 blocks). So the new design is (about) 10.4 times slower, but 83.3 times smaller for the same output.

[@haddow777]

That's what I thought. I was playing a game early on when copper came out and I wanted to make a copper roof. I noticed that it took forever to start the process, but once my roof blocks had changed, the new ones I added over time, because it was a slow build, they change much more quickly. To the point when the roof was mostly finished, it seem like any new block added changed in the blink of an eye. Yet, amongst the community there was this idea that spread that keeping blocks together slowed things down. I tried telling lots of people that putting fully changed blocks around new ones speed up the process. I seem to even remember hearing early on that the dev's said this was they way they worked, as the oxidization would spread from more oxidized blocks to less oxidized blocks more quickly. Everyone just ignored me and kept leaving all their blocks spaced way out. Thanks for proving I wasn't crazy. I guess I could have done work to prove it too, but, I don't have the patience for all the work you obviously had to put into this. Great job.

[@cubicmetre]

The important thing to note here is that copper blocks spaced apart 4 blocks in the xyz will oxidize and the fastest rate possible regardless of whether they're surrounded by fully oxidised copper. The fully oxidised copper mainly counteracts the effect of other copper blocks of the same oxidation state from slowing down a particular block from oxidizing. Which is useful for when you want to oxidize a lot of copper in a compact space.

[@haddow777]

@@cubicmetre true. Still, the way everyone was doing it was by leaving huge spaces where no other copper blocks at all were near each other. In my system with the roof, it didn't matter too much because most of the roof was already fully oxidized, so they accelerated the new ones I put up. In that system, the slowdown due to the new blocks being clumped together wasn't a factor. Obviously, as your awesome graphs and tonnes of work showed, in an optimized system you want the blocks your oxidizing to be separated from each other while still being surrounded by fully oxidized blocks.

[@defaultnano]

I find oxidizing farms and leaving copper to oxidize in a grid just really funny. The whole point is you just put the copper in place on your build and simply forget about it and let it oxidize itself haha. Then if you want it less oxidized, simply scrape it away until correct and wax it. Yeah it will take longer but why does it matter? The process looks really cool especially since the colors of copper are complementary and will usually go nice with your build in all states of oxidization.

[@advd02]

Very inspiring! Some thoughts that came to me about the original design: If you want to oxidize a "small" amount of blocks faster, the old design would be faster than the new one. My understanding is that the new one is faster if you fill above a % of the farm with new copper. Although I'm not trying to say that you would get higher rates, just that you could get your results faster, with less waiting. Unless I missed something? Then, if the copper checks around a diamond(octahedron) shaped area, it should be possible to get a denser layout by separating the blocks diagonaly from each other. Although the increased complexity might not be worth it.

[@cubicmetre]

I guess this is technically true, with the snow blocks to space blocks apart you also get the functionality of being able to drain the silos without any input of copper blocks, but the mechanisms are insanely complicated.

Some other things to anyone else willing and stupid enough to build this make sure that every timer using blocks to count are all counting in unison. If they are off something is wrong. Make sure all the top copper lines are feeding equally into each silo. The system also has a auto shut off if the timing gets off just follow the slime tower made for the note block.

I personally knew about the oxidized copper helped oxidize pure copper faster and the spacing helped out too, so I had been having copper oxidize on top of oxidized copper to have quite nice rates. I wasnt aware that more oxidized copper would mean an even quicker conversion.

[@volbla]

Ok, that is a very useful insight. More oxidized blocks nearby doesn't speed up the oxidization per se, but they offset the massive slowdown from blocks of the same level. If you only have a lot of blocks of the same level nearby, the chance to oxidize will be a very small number. If about half of the nearby blocks are more oxidized, the chance to oxidize will be about a half. Doing alternating sheets like this will about halve the oxidization rate compared to completely spread out blocks, but the density of copper blocks will go from 1/125 to 1/2. Sounds extremely worth it 👍 edit: Well, the fact that it doesn't oxidize at all if there are any less oxidized blocks nearby slows the process down further. Now almost all blocks must progress to the second stage before they can start heading to the third stage. Completely spread out blocks can keep going instantly. Still worth it though. edit2: Half the nearby copper being more oxidized doesn't halve the rate. It of course quarters it, because c^2 :]
