Design Geode Farms In 15 Minutes With Geodesy

[@1210abbynormal]

What I love about this mod is that it is that, at least for me, its the perfect balance between automation and user design. It does all the hard work for you, all while allowing you to have enough input to feel like you're designing a farm.

[@gtbkts]

Exactly

[@drg0n_]

Well, when geode came out most people said it was bad for farming that they couldn't be moved Now they are one of the most interesting farms to build and see working

[@kosmamoczek]

This is my conclusion exactly. When we first started making farms with pistons and hoppers it felt hopeless... it's a lesson to never give up when it comes to Minecraft tech.

[@theanonymous7221]

No, not really. The concept is very simple/boring and constructing a geode farm always used to be a pain without this mod.

[@friedkeenan]

Does Geodesy handle breaking budding amethysts that would end up allowing you to collect more amethyst crystals?

[@adrienanderson7439]

That is a good point, I didn't even realize it could be possible to increase efficiency like that. I'm guessing it could be done by removing one crystal at a time and checking for the maximum efficiency of those, there are a lot of different combinations though. With 5 budding amethyst for example, you have 1 (all 5) + 5 (one removed) + 10 (two removed) + 10 (three removed) + 5 (4 removed) + 1(all removed). In general the number of configurations to check is sum( xCi ) where x is the number of budding amethyst, xCi is the combination function (nCr), and i is the summation index, all numbers from 0 to x. I checked on a calculator and this is basically exponential so its not exactly reasonable to check every possibility. This is still doable though because you don't have to check every single possibility. Of course some of these you can omit, since there is no way all or most the amethyst being removed will be helpful. Maybe checking all combinations up to some number being removed like 5 or so. Or maybe you only continue checking, if the efficiency increased for one of the previous checks. Like you check with one removed, if the efficiency increased, check efficiencies for two removed.

[@EvonixTheGreatest]

@@adrienanderson7439 I assume there would be ways to do better than brute force mostly, for example there's probably a way to prove that blocks under certain conditions could not improve things with their absence and remove them from rotation for removal

[@adrienanderson7439]

@@EvonixTheGreatest Yeah you are definitely right. Buds that aren't blocking anything probably don't need to be removed so maybe you only check arrangements removing different combinations of buds that are along the columns rows and pillars of the blocked amethysts that have already been marked as we can see from the buttons. Since buds that aren't in those positions aren't blocking any crystals from being removed. However some buds might be blocking other crystals from growing by being adjacent so maybe you want to also check arrangements removing touching buds. In summary, we can reduce the computation by not worrying about removing buds that are not in line with any crystals and not touching any other buds.

[@adrienanderson7439]

Also I made an error in my original comment we should be checking for number of harvestable crystals, not efficiency since one lonely bud would have 100% efficiency but not a lot of crystals to harvest.

[@rythaq]

One way to find a stopping point for budding amethyst removal is to keep track of your best yield for the arrangements of budding amethyst and stop removing budding amethyst if they would grow (but not yield) less than your max yield. So this should probably automatically stop at around 5 amethyst, and even if you brute forced the rest it probably wouldn't take much time, though the idea of looking at which ones don't really block others seems like a good idea I had not considered.

[@highcommander2007]

For all the comments about removing a few buds to increase to 100% efficiency I would suggest you read this: After you build a Goedesy farm you will find that 90% of the time there will be a handful of shards left "stuck" ontop of buds. Even if you do everything right, most setups will have shards lost. So spending time trying to tweak the perfect budding block layout really isn't worth it as likely some will get stuck anyway (trust me I tried all kinds of crazy stuff including double sweeping, and cob webs to line up the drops). In the end this type of farm is designed to run for days at a time and "lossless" isn't really necessary. Infact, the whole point of Geodesy is so that you can quickly add farms to many geode locations to maximize your total gains. Finally I would add that having 3 directions will add about 10% gains on most farms, just stick with the 2 sides which should be somewhere around 80% efficiency for most bigger geodes. Drop the farm on 3 locations and you will never have to farm shards again.

[@Per_Ragnar]

Amazing tutorial ilmango, now even i can build this, with a little redstone knowledge. Great job from the modders too

[@wormwoodrandoms3919]

Can it determine if it would yield more crystals by removing any of the blocks that grow crystals in order to access unreachable crystals behind them?

[@Tomek4070]

You smart

[@colox97]

i was planning on building a web tool that does exactly this and gives you the best option, i was kinda stuck on how to build the flying machines but this 3x1 constant design seems great! it doesn't require mod installation and needs just a couple of screenshots to work

[@cook_it]

Needs just a couple screenshots? How do you extract the information like locations from the screenshots? Shouldn't that be really hard?

[@colox97]

@@cook_it technically 2 good screenshots are enough, possibly even one given the cubical world. that said it'd be my first try on image recognition so i'm not really sure how i will do it😆

[@cook_it]

@@colox97 First try? Oh boy then you're in for one hell of a ride XD I've never done anything even remotly similar to this, but from my experience in programming some more or less "small" things over the years it's REALLY easy to start something and then to realise that there is WAY more behind accomplishing your goal than you ever expected. Sometimes you have enough experience to make a solution for the problems that come up but sometimes you just get stuck and either have to compromise on your goals or have to get help from someone else. It's often really disheartening but that's something everyone has to overcome. Some problems that just come up in my head without much thinking are: How do you deal with different FOV's? How do you deal with different resolutions? Texture packs/better lighting mods/etc or perhaps even different graphical settings like mipmaps probably break everything (and if your webapp gets popular enough there will be people with that, no matter how many warnings/notices you write). How do you compensate for where (aka location) the screenshots are made and with what angle, especially with the relation to each other? What if people make them with really weird angles (perhaps they make them from outside in spectator mode, maybe from the inside in survival)? How to you deal with people who leave their HUD visible? One potential workaround for avoiding all of that would be allowing the user to upload their chunk files (you can read those in with for example a python module) containing the geode, but that immediatly puts a lot more work/unusability onto the user as now they have to figure out what chunk files contain the geode (and that also won't work on servers). Alternatively you could figure out how to read litematica saves but that needs a mod and if you are already modding then why not just install Geodesy? Like I said I have no experience in webapps/image recognition/3d "stuffs" but from my little bit of experience in programming (aka mainly making excel workbooks "automagical" at work with VBA) that sounds like a pretty huge task. Now of course I could be totally wrong and it's a lot easier than I imagine it to be (which I really hope it is, maybe there are some libraries/frameworks out there that do the heavy lifting for you?) so I'd say go for it and see how far you come! Whatever happens, it will be an excellent learning experience :)

[@colox97]

@@cook_it Thanks for taking the time to reply! well, the first version will DEFINITELY have me inputting the geode structure by hand. i've already kinda listed the steps from the raw geode to the built machine so that doesn't scare me too much. As you guessed the big learning experience will be from having to process the input data, and i'm definitely not aiming for perfection, vanilla texture with vanilla UI, i was actually thinking of using F3 to extract even more informations about my POV and location (and the 3 lines in the center of the screen to line up the axis). That said, since the world is made entirely of equally distant repeating lines i think it's definitely feasible, i'll have to relearn a lot of math though 😆

[@cook_it]

@@colox97 Ok yeah with the *exact* coordinates and the *exact* angle from the F3 menu and "standardised" resolution/settings it should be possible, now, as you said, all you need is lots of math, and I hope your maths is *way* better than mine because I didn't need any math higher than ()*%+- for like... 5 years or so (and writing formulas/VBA in excel does not count sadly) ;) Well, then good luck, I hope you give an update to your progress at some point (maybe a video?) because now I'm really interested in this project of yours XD

I commented on the previous video saying I had an idea to make a program like this. Of course someone else already made something similar, though the 'tetris game' is totally algorithmically solvable. I have no code but I do have some thoughts (though I suspect my knowledge is way too novice to be of use) A minimum spanning tree using Prim's Algorithm (since it's branching), then stopping when it hits 12. Then do some wavefunction collapse to make sure there are no slime blocks that would touch it at the next step. The L shapes might be a little tricky, but starting by looking for three blocks in a row should work. (again wavefunction collapse to stop them generating flying machines next to each other. If I was making it myself 'd probably start there, assuming I didn't find something else that works better in the time since

[@kosmamoczek]

[@thexavier666]

The slime problem seems like a modified vertex cover problem at quick glance, which is NP hard. So it's better to come up with some sort of heuristic to solve it.

[@thexavier666]

An ideal solution would have 1. minimum number of slime/honey blocks required (Lesser num. of blocks not hitting any buds but required to connect diagonal blocks) 2. minimum number of flying machines (If you use too many slime blocks, you will need more flying machines) Constraints which were mentioned in the video 1. Push limit of 12 blocks -> 12 slimes connected in taxi cab manner 2. Two adjacent flying machines cannot be slime (graph coloring coming into play here) 3. Each flying machine must be min. size of 4 with a 3 block contiguous This seems like a really fun challenging problem; a multi vertex cover with max cover size of 12.

[@OceanBagel]

Couldn't you have a few floating pistons aimed at the spots you can't reach that are triggered by observers stuck to the flying machines? I could see that being a relatively cheap and simple way of getting the efficiency all the way up to 100%.

[@racernatorde5318]

Apparently pistons can break the budding amethyst blocks, so that's no option

[@OceanBagel]

@@racernatorde5318 That's not true, ilmango has even made videos on piston-based geode farms. It works but it's much harder to design and can lose some amethyst crystals if they land on top of the pistons. But in this case I'm just talking about a few extra pistons along with a few extra observers attached to the flying machines in strategic positions. Maybe there are some edge cases where that still wouldn't reach, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for at least some of the unreachable spots.

[@racernatorde5318]

@@OceanBagel Why yes, it is true. Pistons do break budding amethyst blocks. The fact that Mango has made piston based designs before does not change this fact. There is no space to have loose observers in the farm, so you would need to attach the observers to the flying machine - and then you break the budding amethyst blocks

[@OceanBagel]

@@racernatorde5318 I wasn't saying that pistons can't break budding amethyst blocks, I'm saying that it doesn't have anything to do with what I'm saying. The pistons would be facing the growing crystals, not the budding amethyst block, so that when they triggers, they harvest the crystals. And the observers would be attached to the flying machine and trigger the piston as it sweeps across. I don't quite understand where you claim breaking budding amethyst blocks comes into play since the piston would need to push the budding amethyst itself to actually break it.

[@racernatorde5318]

@@OceanBagel Do you realize that you need one pistons for every single exposed side of a budding amethyst? There is absolutely not space for such system. It's not worth the effort to get these farms past the efficiency of the concept Mango showed here

@@enkvadrat_ less effort this has much more effort than that ,that only has pistons ,observer and simple simple this has much advanced redstone,delicate designs ,honey ,slime blocks need to make it a box and they have 15 farms so that 10% each makes 150%

@@Shubhammamania666 the problem is, his farm isn't a standardised build, he made it specifically for that geode. Now consider building multiple of those, custom to each geode, versus an only slightly less efficient design which can be built in almost exactly the same way every time. It's just less effort to do the latter.

@@o_opinionated719 he didn't specifically but made it because it was near to him and that design is flexible and less effort

@@Shubhammamania666 it's not that a flying machine is less complicated than a hopper line and pistons, it's that the flying machine can be built in the exact same way for many geodes, whilst using sb737's design would result in a unique wiring and hopper-line setup for each geode. So yes, for one single geode it may be easier, but it's harder to do when you're making this farm for many geodes, as in that case repeatability of design is priorotised; as big projects are kind of what scicraft is all about, they use the repeatable flying machine design rather than just sticking pistons all over the place.
