Lets Play S11E109 Making Cakes

[@digifreak90]

You know, I'm waiting for him to realize that he never actually automated the sugar. He set up the automation for it, but he never got it running.

[@Knotmuch42]

he just needs a timer, and/or a signal from the storage to run the harvester when the inventory is low he will remember when the cake production stops because he is out of sugar, but that could be a while depending on how much he uses the cakes

[@ockerspock3432]

I doubt he will find a use for the cakes he already made......we are likely in endgame (end series) but he MAY, likely off screen, do a simple timer. Prepare for Dire to get distracted by ForgeCraft 1.19 episodes ....he might even do more than 10 episodes this FC series.

[@ockerspock3432]

What is REALLY surprising is seeing Dire on the mini map, outside of the chunk loaded horseshoe, looking at the Egg station, which is also outside the horseshoe musing on why the Egg station is being "unloaded" from the train network.

[@uriei]

Dire, the Eggs station probably breaks because you haven't chunkloaded that station and everytime the game unloads it, it probably doesn't reconnect

[@geoffmitchell1978]

Yeah he hasn't junk loaded from station to the portal, it always seem to break when he goes into the nether then back

[@elzo0m]

Exactly!

[@DemonicTheAngel]

Wait about 10 episodes and he might see this comment lol isnt there a chunkloader added by one of the addons that works with create contraptions? If so it would keep from having to chunkload any chunks with ftbchunks

[@Knotmuch42]

Looking the Create issue tracker, and there was an issue with stations no showing on a map when the station and the track location are on different maps (two different chunks that has a map boundary between them) I was wondering if the station and the track are on 2 separate maps But missed chunk loading also sounds like very Dire thing to do

[@Johannes_Kuhn]

The reason the train doesn't leave is because lava is still refilling the used lava by the sprout. I suggest making a bigger buffer tank.

[@benjaminmiller3620]

It'll still eventually be a problem again. As long as the train is transporting more lava than the ingredients use, it will fill up and behave the same way again. Dumping excess lava would fix it.

[@Johannes_Kuhn]

That is one possibility - or 2 buffer tanks - and stop transferring lava from the first to the second when the train is at the station.

[@Knotmuch42]

He gets 2 stack of sugar, 2 stacks of eggs, and 1 stack of nether rack which will yield 1-2 stacks of Cinder flour (statistically it should be 1.5 stacks) This means he can make at least 1 stack of cake bases and up to 2 stack per full run of the train IIRC the tanks he is using hold 8 buckets (8000mB) each, each tack could make 32 Blaze Cakes, so the 2 tanks on the train are enough to make 1 stack of Blaze Cakes. Assuming the trains trip collects the full complement of ingredients. The lava will all be used, the nether rack (Cinder flour) will all be used, and there will be left over sugar and eggs (a stack or less) So having the size of the tank on the train match the size of the tank that feeds the spout should be enough to keep the train running without the inventory activity check holding the train due to lava refilling the buffer tank as the spout uses it That is only the case though if the train always returns with a full complement of ingredients. The real hold up is going to come if the egg production doesn't keep up with the sugar and nether rack production With that, it could be possible that you only deliver a few eggs and a full load of lava ( and sugar and nether rack), and the train departs. While the train is on it's next trip, the few eggs means only some of the lava is used and the buffer tank is mostly full. When the train arrives again, it will unload If there are eggs, the cake production will resume and you could run into the situation where the inventory activity check is continuously triggered as lava trickles from the train, but the real hold up will still be the need for eggs. So it will not matter if the train is waiting at the main station as lava slowly transfers off, or it the train continuously circles picking up little to no eggs each trip

[@chadowsrikatemo4494]

I'm so used to opening YT when the clock strikes 12:00 my time. This has become the best series to watch while preparing food

[@DizzyDJW]

I hope he fixes the rest of the automation and adds a stockpile switch to the blaze cakes that can toggle the leaving of the train. Then it will be completely hands-free automated!

[@cassanthemum]

Anyone else yell out, "Dire, put the tunnels next to each other!" Before he figured it out?

[@IceMetalPunk]

I paused and checked the comments because it was so frustrating. He literally *just* looked up the Ponder graphic showing how to use tunnels... Good to know he finally figures it out; back to the video! *EDIT TO ADD:* Welp, maybe one day he'll also learn that you can put crushing wheels horizontally on belts 😂

[@cassanthemum]

@@IceMetalPunk 😂😂😂

[@robertpickel2447]

He never actually added a timer to the sugar cane farm.

[@DemonicTheAngel]

One of the best things about create is you can build it your way with the many tools. One of the worse things is Dire gets stuck in a way and doesnt seem to think of other more efficient ways.. He uses chaindrives just to speed up and completely overlooks the fact that they keep their rotational direction just like belts.. It both looks better and probably less lag if theres many.

[@Nefarious411]

Should be noted that crushing wheels can lay horizontally. I like to lay them horizontally on a mechanical belt so that anything going along the belt will get crushed instead of dropping into the wheels. You can also power the crushing wheels with horizontal laying water wheels below ground.

[@Armetron]

Dire just for you to know, there is a single block version of the crushing wheels that will give you the same result, it's called the mill and it is also from create

[@robertpickel2447]

Unlike storage drawers, the functional drawers controller doesn’t have to touch the drawers.

[@erin.anderson]

This right here. Put the controller wherever it is convenient for you - it absolutely does not have to be touching any of the drawers themselves; that's why you HAVE the linking tool in the first place.

[@TheCountChuckula]

Dire, i think that station is outside your loaded chunks and may be malfunctioning for that reason.

[@kaskjmerecollier3917]

The small fluid tanks make the stop at the first station longer because there's constant movement of lava from the 2 tanks on the train to the one tank outside the train

[@PaulMurrayCanberra]

Well, now that he has blaze cakes, the obvious thing to do is feed them to some blazes.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Yep; it's been so long I almost forgot that was the entire point of all this train stuff, to create blaze cakes for the boiler 😂

[@crazy_seabee]

I think your egg train station isn't chunk loaded

[@collincutler2278]

I think the egg station is breaking due to unloaded chunk? Maybe when you go into the heather it breaks?

[@jlp1528]

One thing I find amusing about these past few episodes is by the time he's done making blaze cakes, he will have completely forgotten why he wanted to make them in the first place. 😂 At least he can go back and watch his own recordings to figure that out. Maybe I should start recording for the same reason, even if I never publish anything.

[@jlp1528]

These compact setups would easily be valid use cases for bevel gears, which I'm surprised don't exist.

[@laminatedsamurai]

All hail the Direwolf, king of the gearboxes!

[@imthestighonest3437]

You don’t need to filter the out put of the basin it’s a smart output and will only output complete recipe’s

[@codysurfer8232]

probably an old habit to put in redundant filtering from older mods or something. sometimes he just likes having that security rather than needing to think about it.

[@tylerholliday3896]

Crushing wheels can lay flat, would make things much cleaner

[@DemonicTheAngel]

People have been saying this since his Above and Beyond series. Maybe in a couple series he'll finally realize it.

[@TT_PLEB]

The amount of times I've had the functional draws disconnect from the controller is infuriating. Especially when it means my create farms just start dropping entities all over the floor and lag out the server I'm on

[@Major_D3rp]

*Sees simple solution for making the press work* Dire makes it way more complicated than it needs to be... lol

[@dontfeedthelunatic]

Cue the Lazy Town / Lil John mashup of the baking a cake song.

[@MZeora]

Betting the Station is in an unloaded chunk...

[@Praecantetia]

My health goes down, I need a cow I'll find some wheat and one egg now This sweet, sweet treat, all I need is sugarcane I'll make some cake, I'll make some cake

[@elzo0m]

Dire, you need to chunkload station 'Eggs'!

[@billyuno]

I wonder if there's a way to make a train that mines for you? Like it has a huge wall of drills on the front, and lays down track in front of itself, then picks it back up behind? Then you could put an ender chest on it and have all the unnecessary stuff voided, and the rest sent to be processed. I wonder if that's possible?

[@billyuno]

I wonder if a deployer with a wrench would pick up train tracks....?

[@Majora_901]

I know you can do exactly this using the legacy train/cart system (that uses vanilla minecraft rails), and I don't think these new trains will replace that functionality. These Trains only work if their is a set schedule to follow (there's no option to blindly follow the tracks automatically, I don't think), thus all of the infrastructure needs to be manually built before the trains can do anything. (at around 28:40, you can see the train just sits there cause it's next stop is broken) The old cart/trains could use drills and deployers to mine and replace rails, and several different kinds of tunnel bores have been made, and I think keeping both types of rail systems in the mod is good for each purpose. Tunnel Bores in Minecraft reminds me of the old Steve's Carts bores, that was fun.

[@clnseat]

That was a lot of work and setup, but pretty amazing to watch in the end!

[@reddragon69069]

Try chunk loading the egg station area as I believe it is not

[@johnread6730]

Dire do you think that the egg station breaking might have to do with the nether portal or something ? i have no idea but thought it would be worth mentioning :)

[@1chemban]

Functional storage controller does not have to touch the drawers to work.

[@garyboyles5762]

At 27:00 ish, ASMR for Create automation win!

[@scottysaboss5697]

Hey dire, i was curious if you were gonna be uploading forgecraft?

[@DemonicTheAngel]

He usually uploads about 2-5 episodes then never touches forgecraft again. Shame really cause its enjoyable and entertaining to watch him interact others.

[@scottysaboss5697]

@@DemonicTheAngel Yeah i agree, Forgecraft was always my favorite.

[@Drokandforge]

You didn't set your sugar farm to automate collection. Maybe the egg station keeps breaking is cause the nether portal is to close?

[@johnread6730]

create has to be the coolest mod so much stuff and cool features

[@birdie8672]

I wonder how long it will take before he notices he dit not forceload the Eggs station, wich probably makes it keep breaking.

[@rozbrajaczpoziomow]

The only reason I could think of about the station disconnecting is the station gets loaded but the track doesn't at the same time?? Honestly, seems like a weird bug, maybe you should report it to Create.

[@IceMetalPunk]

It's because the station is in a different chunk than the track, and the chunk the station is in isn't force loaded. So whenever Dire goes into the Nether or moves too far from the train area, the station unloads and disconnects from the track. He just needs to force load that one chunk and it'll be fixed.

[@rozbrajaczpoziomow]

@@IceMetalPunk Yeah, that's what I meant, I suck at explaining lmao

[@militialpickle9304]

Dire, I think that station keeps messing up because, unlike all your other automation for this, you never loaded the chunk that it was in, so while the track may be loaded, the station is not.

[@TheDawgMiner]

Looks like you're running out of eggs before all the other stuff, might be worth changing the settings so you get 4 stacks of eggs instead of 3.

[@AndyVonTube]

He'll really run out of sugar cane first, because he didn't automate the harvesting...

[@TheDawgMiner]

@@AndyVonTube Did you miss S11E105?

[@AndyVonTube]

@@TheDawgMiner I don't think so. Did he finally add an automation to actually start the sugar cane harvesting machine and I missed it?

[@TheDawgMiner]

@@AndyVonTube I think you are right on the timer

[@altreusplays]

TFW dire overengineers a chain of gears and gearboxes instead of just using another belt to power the press

[@TheLinkhawkins]

My guess, the Eggs station is not chunck loaded.

[@the-real-shoguna]

Dire cabling, but with belts :chef-kiss:

[@imthestighonest3437]

Yes really cool to see you automate this with the trains, now all we have to do is get you to make the contraptions more compact, that’s the next challenge with create. Taking you existing contraption and making it a small as possible- getting all the rotational power to everything so close. I currently have all my casings,plates and polished rose quartz production in a 4x5 footprint 😀

Tunnels can distribute to neighbouring parallel belts, YOU KNOW THIS Honestly, sometimes I think he's faking the derpyness
