My Dream Factory Concept!!! - Minecraft Create Mod S3 #2

[@Zedaph]

Enjoy! My custom modpack I use for this series is now available! modrinth.com/modpack/zeds-create Also, a huge thanks for supporting this series. It's more of a passion project than "playing the KZbin game", so you support is really, extra appreciated here

[@dunnersduke]

Hey you should put create deployers on the front of the drill placing blocks and it gets rid of water and then the drills break the blocks and reuses them. I cleared out a big area of water and lava on one of my vids

[@morteh48]

Zedaph, it looks like you have something inappropriate popping out of your trousers.

[@jametrics]

Please keep going! Genuinely very excited to see more!

[@rockinggamerdude]

Apparently, there’s a way to make a perpetual motion machine with cranks and I think they’re called deployers.

[@Merrick117]

2:00 You could add another row of drills at the top and placer hands to place cobblestone/deep slate as a ceiling to block any water or lava pits it might drill under!

Belts on belts on belts! May be laggy but incredibly fun to ride around on!

[@Bast847]

Ah, a sushi belt ^^ This will be glorious, but probably a nightmare to control. I thought of the following problems (some of which may not be problems at all): 1) A singular scanner at one point on the belt may be sufficient. A clustering of items (i.e. a non uniform distribution of the same item) may lead to an overfilling of that item. 2) The belt needs enough capacity to store the possible maximum for every possible item 3) Getting the items off consistently might be a pain with several conveyor belts in parallel (I don't know enough create to know if this works or not) You can look up Factorio sushi belt factories for ideas on how to do this ^^ Edit: I meant "*not* sufficient" in 1) Either use several scanners at different points, or use "signal" items to denote a full circle and then count the number of items in one go-around

[@doggos8259]

i sent another version of this comment above, but a lot larger and with a bit more info on how to fix them (there is a way to do the factorio sushi belt counters but it is a little dodgy as it will still count up if nothing is actualy put on the belt unless you make imputs go via a short belt with a reader on it to make it go up omg thats a amazing idea thankyou so much but anyway, also pulling from multiple belts is possible with those tunnel things that to the shuffling of the items, they can have fillters put on them and you can do the whole random thing OR (my choice, the prefer closest thing and then do another shuffling thing after it)

[@BenjaminGoldberg1]

Luckily, the mechanical arm can pick up items from within a 5 block radius, much further away than a Factorio inserter.

[@Tyrus-jq8qk]

Hey Zed! Be mindful that belts can cause a lot of client lag if used in excess. A central loop of belts should be fine, but consider using alternatives like weighted ejectors, trains, and physically moving depots and basins where possible. Of course none of these approaches are perfect, but should help to add variety if nothing else. One last tip, design machines to be turned off, helps with both lag and stress if a machine doesn't run unless it needs to.

[@justcallmeness]

Oh he knows about the belts, haha

[@nataly_171]

One really nice alternative to belts is item drains. No power needed, and items roll along in whatever direction they're inserted from.

[@buffykamikaze8382]

Zedaph with closed eyes nearly stopped my heart. Not what I was expecting to see today.

[@garnetalexandros2356]

TIP: You can significantly increase the amount of items on your conveyor loop by "stackifying" them before feeding them onto the conveyor. Just buffer the items into a single block vault or barrel and output them through a brass funnel that is set to output the desired number of items. Btw I've been building a smart factory inspired by your previous series with Tango. It has a warehouse in the centre to store the items in vaults and 2 big loops around it, one for input, one for output. The factory plants are on the outside of the conveyor loops. It works very well, solves a few limitations with Tango's design

[@recurvestickerdragon]

if you dispense or drop an item onto a belt segment that already contains that item, does it stack? if it contains a different item, does the newly dropped one stay in place or get dragged along while bobbing about?

[@garnetalexandros2356]

@@recurvestickerdragon It doesn't stack in my experience, the item sits there until there is a gap in the conveyor. Basically it's best not to fill a conveyor with single items

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

If you need some inspiration, your base concept is basically what they call in Factorio a Sushi Belt Base. There are some great KZbin videos that focus on either the logistics or the absolute chaos of the base design.

[@BrianTelleraineCarson]

Tango will be so proud of you for embracing the main bus concept!

[@xxbongobazookaxx7170]

For your drill setup you can make it place torches every x number of blocks by placing a block that you have x-1 supply of and arent naturally occurring (I use 9 sandstone slabs) and drilling it back up x blocks later, placing your torches somewhere in between, it'll place a torch every time it doesn't have a block in supply which should occur once every 8 blocks. Torches aren't destroyed by drills so it'll be left behind after that. Edit: I did some testing after a reply suggested it had been broken with the update, my numbers are wrong but the idea is the same. With the version used in the video for a gap of X between 2 torches you need to store X of your temporary block and have your drill placed with a gap of X-1 between it and the deployer placing those temporary blocks, the deployer that places torches can go anywhere in between, it's also reccomended to have a 3rd deployer placing cobble or cobbled deepslate a block below the deployers for torches and temporary blocks to ensure the torch has something to be placed on

[@zanlahn4897]

I would also add a way to deposit when it is idle on top

[@nicoles7652]

Does that still work for you? Mine broke with the update where you can access inventories while it's in contraption mode.

[@xxbongobazookaxx7170]

@@nicoles7652 I just tested it now in zed's modpack, it still works, though i did get my item count a little low on first attempt so maybe that has to be adjusted with the update or maybe I made a mistake building it

[@tristangoncalves1417]

2:01could make a little dock for it on the surface to unload with everyone's favorite "kissy kissy" block while it's still mobile contraption form instead of unloading manually from the static form's barrels 4:35 reminds me of Factorio 'sushi' bases

[@phiefer3]

One possible addition to your drill machine is a hand to place a line of blocks above where you sit, in case of lava falling from the ceiling.

[@avcivi]

I love this series. It really sets it apart when every time there's a widely accepted preexisting solution to something (like threshold gates on storage controlling production), Zed goes "but wouldnt it be more fun if I did rotating inventory forever?" And every time I agree. You're right! That is way more fun :D Reminds me it's absolutely not about what's most efficient.

[@MashuStar]

Something you could add to the mining machine is protection from water and lava. I built one quite similar to yours and the lava destroyed one of the rails and it was a huge pain to try and get my very expensive machine back.

[@MrBrebby]

Was coming down here to suggest that. If you put deployers behind the outside drills you can make a tunnel system

[@braydenthelander1674]

2:08 Whenever I make one of these mining rigs, i use some deployers right behind the initial drills to place blocks where the minecart sits and then around that, then drill the center 2 to make a sort of tunnel to block out any lava it may run through. Tends to work pretty efficiently.

[@iron-nia]

Gotta say the Create: Pattern Schematics might help you with the repeating/modular design. It lets you scroll out a repeating pattern with one schematic, a small addition to you modpack. Love the series!

[@LugborG]

If you're planning on doing anything involving the rail system in Create (highly recommended, it's a lot of fun), I suggest creating a couple standardized templates for engines and rolling stock. Your schematicannon can build them, glue included, right at the station, which means creating a new train will be quick and easy.

[@punchygameing920]

Just a future warning, belts and other blocks can cause lag in large amounts

[@EvesterBee]

The factory design looks brilliant! I always go for brick aesthetic ones, but I love the smoother grey pallet here. For the drill maybe add some deployers to build ceilings for nether digging!?

[@electrofire1136]

yeah and ones that build deepslate in front of the drills. It sounds counterproductive but liquids can and have killed my tunnel bores before

[@ivansobol7334]

This design is what factorio players call a sushi belt design, its very laggy and very innefficient compared to other builds, but it is useful in some circumstances (for example if you need >4 different items in a single input)

[@etsmine3004]

As to your drill. If you don't want to keep items like cobbled deep slate you can eject it with a brass funnel. Add a filter in to filter out the stuff you don't want to keep.

[@zerid0]

If you ever have trouble balancing your belts, then maybe having your belts be a spiraling loop could help. Like after 1 turn, the exterior lane become the 2nd lane, then after another turn it become the 3rd, then 4th, and then eventually it loops around and becomes the 1st lane again.

[@recurvestickerdragon]

those are really cool and perfect for this application

[@norbby42]

I miss the "Dig Down of the Day". Maybe you could bring it back but in a very Create/contraptiony way. Perhaps something like a long Create piston with a bunch of drills on the front, and you need to mine far enough forward so you can get out of its reach before it well... Before the Stone/Deepslate get coated in Zed Juice?

[@cosmologicalx]

YIPPEEEE NEW ZEDAPH UPLOAD!!!!!!!!

[@jamesnoland7821]

I'm so glad you're doing this series again! I wish Tango would join you, though. But, you're scratching that Create itch I've had for quite a while! I've been watching FoxyNoTail and MrBeardstone, but they're far along in their worlds, and I like to see the progression in the early-game.

[@chimeradev]

"nothing is set on stone... except for the cobble, of course" sent me flying LOL

[@czlowiek0]

The idea of a "loop" factory reminds me of Stanisław Lem's sci-fi book "Eden", where an alien factory created various items just to disassemble them and start the process over. You could have a sub-loop with eg. iron, where iron nuggets, iron ingots and iron blocks constantly turn one into another. Should work with some other items as well.

[@thelemonsheep7257]

This is giving me flashbacks to those factorio videos where they beat the game with only sushi belts (and unchecked trauma)

[@bluechromata6976]

I’m sure that you already have it planned, but no mining contraption is ever complete without a portable storage interface! Also, I’m not sure if the redstone makes it faster, but as I recall the drills actually give a minecart contraption a bit of momentum in their direction after they finish breaking a block, so you really only need a normal minecart and a bit of a forwards push at first.

[@admiraldestroyer100]

You should add the brass drills on your drill. It is an add-on that gives you more drills that mine faster. The brass drill mines 2 or 3 times as fast. Those containers you used in your building have a lot smaller capacity than the vaults. If I remember correctly, they only hold a stack per block, where as the vaults hold 512 or 2048 per block.

[@PittCougar]

I'm so happy you've made create enough of a priority to continue it. It's such a great mod.

[@tehbeard]

2:42 : I'd consider washing it, apart from bricks, you can do: Clay -> clay block -> terracotta -> red sand -> gold nuggets.

[@recurvestickerdragon]

all those steps via one looping conveyor belt

[@FerociousCookie]

Answer to the question “what else should I add to the drill unit?” A seat for you to be able to fully chill safe from mobs.

[@nox.7146]

an idea for the drill would be to make it very tall, with the minecarft on the upper half of the drill, so you would get some diamonds without risking lava. it could even be made super tall to mine (or rather, drill) every level of ore distribution without any problem whatsoever (whatever you spell watsohevair)

[@screechingnewt7469]

Absolutely love the factory design! It looks nice, I love the 'pipe' look from the double vault-container things and the fact they can double as storage? Amazing

[@SeraphAttack]

I'm genuinely so happy that create is back

[@ghyro2848]

Drill Suggestion: Add a couple funnels with a list filter containing cobblestone, dirt, gravel, sand, deepslate, and netherrack. Funnels work on minecart contraptions and will spit out up to the configured amount of filtered blocks every time the contraption moves by 1 block, so it automatically sorts out the garbage.

[@SP4CEBAR]

Zedaph's design goals for his factory are nice, optimizing for speed makes you run into bottlenecks (like mechanical arms or output funnels) that can only be solved by redesigning and scaling up the factory

[@chiarabookworm4482]

For the drills, when you make it wider, also add extra arms for the torches to keep things even more lit

[@kittea1804]

loving the series so far. the only addition i can think of for the mining machine is a second seat for a driver mob just for funsies, but that seems like it could be a hassle when you pick up the contraption to move it around

[@jaaantje_8025]

yo Zed this belt factorie makes me think of factorio its a fun game all about automation :) if you haven't yet i would recommend it!

[@doggos8259]

btw for a better way to do you sushi belt design just look at factorio sushi belt playthroughs, and how they use counters to control how much is on a belt at once, you can do that btw (there are multiple ways to do it but probably the easiest would be using multiple create extending piston things (i forgot what they are called) and the best way would be with actual vanilla counters (basically just two dispensers looking into each other, activate one to count up and the other to count down, to make it hold more then 9 stacks, idk, cook i guess, so whenever a item is pulled off you make the counter count down and when one is put on it counts up, and whenever you need more of something on the belt you just use a simple wireless redstone thing to drop one item on the belt (prob use a hopper as a buffer incase the belt has something there already) and make sure you get a reading when ever something comes off the belt, and you need a small buffer (enough so that you cant try to send something onto the belt but not actually send anything) and a farm fast enough to keep it like that, if you have a realy slow farm you can use the repeater thing to force it to wait between drop requests, you can also do a call system like what shalz used, but that could not work if say, something calls for something but something else gets it or if some things call but then end up full and items fill out the belt, the main ways to stop that are loop the belt or to deleate at the end, both with their own problems, but then again my factorio based design could be hard as you would need a permenantly loaded (or always loaded WITH the sushi factory) and setting up ways to reset the counters would be good (reset the belt with it) and if the buffers are empty then ways to stop the counters from requesting items to be dropped, also a counter for the max amount of items would be usefull to stop everything if it reaches max (as that would mean that something else broke as you would ALWAYS need space on the belts, another problem would be pulling, you could always use the item tunnel things to pull from all the belts but that feels like a cheaty choice to me, also you could only pull from the edge, but again, it might take ages for you to get your items, and lastly, i would recomend setting up a way for players to pull items from the belt or a end point that connects to the request system so that there is a easy way to get items without breaking the whole system (yes after typing this all out i have decided that i want to design this system, i will be posting my end build on a create mod server and if you have a discord server (i havent found one yet but ill hope) ill send it there, oki BAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (sorry for making this so long lol) edit: you could make a easy way to force the counter to only go up when a item is actualy added by having a short belt going onto the main one, but this one with a smart observer to send the count up signal as that would mean that a item is actually being sent

[@nealetwo]

You should put stacks of items on the belt, not just singular ones.

[@7173871363]

you could add deployers around it to build a tunnel for mining ancient debris and then you wouldn't have to worry about lava lakes. perhaps have a ring of deployers glued together, the glue that ring to the rig so you could easily remove it for overworld mining.

[@chrisnaftel4788]

Tip for the tunnel bore: if you place deployers in front of the drills placing cobbled deep slate then you could make it go through lava without breaking

[@Kirigon]

The facial edit with the eyes was hilarious! That actually made me laugh. Loved it.

[@magma90]

2:12 if you add some deployers at the front and the sides to place blocks, you could make it lava proof.

The modular base is such a clever idea! I thought it was kinda cool and handy at first, and then you broke out the schematicannon and I saw the true genius of your plan!

[@BenjaminGoldberg1]

@Zedaph, you might not be able sharpen the drills but there's an addon so they can be enchanted with efficiency, silk touch and fortune! That same Create addon lets you enchant Ploughs, which is important for Minecart Contraption which picks up it's own rails.

[@BeroDirt]

if u add deployers around the cart that place a tunnel of blocks that cover it and blocks that go under it u can make it never stop no water or lava or air pockets will stop its straight path and but drills at the rear that collect the blocks back i did that for mine hope u see this

[@fofogoo]

You could add some funnels on the drill to dispose of all the unwanted stuffs like deepslate and cobble that fills up the barrels

[@MNDarkfire]

You should definitely change out your barrels on the drill for a storage vault. It puts all your items into one inventory that can be filtered out a lot more efficiently, and later down the line for create, storage vaults are better for item interfaces for when you’re making bigger automated farms.

[@sethweston3319]

[@joelstoner]

You can make a spaced torch placer by using 5 slime blocks or honey blocks, and 2 placers, have the torch placer behind the slime/honey placer and 1 gap before the 5 blocks hit the drill at the back. Then torches will be placed every 6 blocks.

[@sq33z3r3]

Another entertaining and informative episode Zed. Probably a good idea to move the seat forward under the "spine" to protect you from overhead lava. Keep up the great content❤

Careful with the storage barrels on the miner. Idk if they fixed it in the later versions, but having too much storage on a create contraption used to absolutely break worlds

[@iusedtobegods]

It can be helpful to have the drill place a block up above your head level while seated so as to prevent creepers from falling on you or water or (depending on drill level/dimension) lava

[@BenJago_98]

I’d love to see a Zed take on a factorio play through. It wouldn’t be super efficient but it’d be fun

[@galilea78]

Holy crap, I’m designing a sushi belt factory for an expert create pack, and I see you do the same? I love it! A tip: you can use brass funnels or chutes to require things to output a stack at a time instead of a single item, which will increase the effectiveness of the sushi belt design. And sushi belts need all the efficiency they can get XD

[@wmpowell8]

Consider adding a Portable Storage Interface to the drill so that you can output mined ores directly into your contraptions (with filters in between so The Loop doesn't get clogged with unnecessary junk).

[@thewindsofsong]

Commenting to show my support for this series! I'm exited to see all that you do with this mod!!

[@Bandit2033]

For anyone curious WHY they are called sushi belts: There are Japanese restaurants in which there are sushi bars, in which a conveyor goes across the entire bar, carrying an assortment of sushi. A sushi belt. So it eventually became a thing where belts carrying an assortment of anything are still called sushi belts. The term became really popularized by Factorio, a game of belts, base building, and automation.

[@gabriellopezcollantes1027]

[@CathodeRayKobold]

"It doesn't work, then does, with no changes" just about sums up my entire history with this mod. Granted, with the belt randomizer it at least makes sense why it didn't seem to work at first.

[@mathieuprovencal6392]

I still use a furnace minecart to power my "drill" contraption, because I bridge in the same way you did, but with a "permanent" bridge made of the material I dont need aka cobblestone and deepslate cobblestone. You get to mine so much of these materials that I dont know what to do with them... So I use them to bridge forward! I had the idea to add a deployer for a "1 block" ceiling to prevent engulfing the contraption in water or lava.

[@cameronquick8625]

You should add an unloader station for the drill, a station of some kind you can set it in and drain into a storage system

[@Aphelia.]

I love this series so much, your creativity is very fun to watch!

[@SP4CEBAR]

If the slot in the ground left by the holey moley mining machine were unfavorable then it could be worth adding some extra drills to the bottom row of drills to make the drilling surface rectangular

[@PRINCEofNONE]

Hi Zed! Don’t typically watch your stuff, but always enjoy your cameos with other hermits and even the coop tango stuff. Guess I probably should watch your stuff… huh. Anyway, congrats on the engagement!!

[@HaLo2FrEeEk]

If you watch toward the end of Ilmano's AutoTerraFirmaCraft series, he used Create to make a vertical rotary "drill". I'm confident that you could put your trademark Zedaph twist on it and do something cool. I'm also confident that it could be made horizontally. Basically it used a spinning cross of drills, rather than a wall.

[@LoZazaReverse]

you can add a portable storage interface to the drill and have another one strategically placed where you plunk it down to auto unload and sort the items you can also add some toolboxes to the drill and set slots for specific items to get them without searching all the barrels

[@LoZazaReverse]

and if you want to save some time, go to the create options menu, under logistics you can enable balk cutting and bulk pressing to process stacks at a time instead of one by one, and somewhere there is the schematic cannon speed that you can increase to print your modules faster

[@Lambo_Wambo]

Add a portable storage interface so you can unload it automatically and it would be easier to place torches instead of a deployer Zed not to hate but storage vaults would be better to manage the amount of resources

[@theaseus654]

I kinda want a cool Cockpit on that drill 😅 Also maybe an autosorter?

[@Bobdd0]

Very very excited for this series! I love your creativity!

[@GogoTheSomeone]

To make the drill better, make it place blocks infront of the drills and an extra block on every side, so lava wont stop it. Most importantly use normal rails, furnace minecraft and make it not destroy redstone blocks, as they are slower to break than deepslate

[@cooiecub]

I would love to see a massive mining operation that digs all the way to bedrock and continues to expand its quarry outwards. I just think a quarry would be awesome. I think, maybe, you could do it with a bunch of minecart drillers that go out in a spiral. Imagine you have a machine thats spiralling outwards turning left. It detects when the space to the left of it isnt mined out, and then it turns to its left to mine in that direction. You maybe could get it to detect whether its been there by leaving its rails and seeing if theres rails placed down beside it. Then, when that first one has started spiralling out, you start a second machine one layer down. This one also cleans up the rails of the first one and starts a second spiral within the first. You continue going down until you reach bedrock, and you have a whole series of machines spiralling outwards and digging a giant hole in the earth. Theres almost definitely simpler ways to do it but I think that would look really cool.
