Sipsco Dirt Factory - Part 23 - Shaving Trees

[@TheRealestEric]

Just got caught up on this series. Marathoned this shit. So good. Can't get enough of Sips and Sjin, hands down best guys of all the Yogscast! Definitely my favorite duo, it doesn't get any better.

[@alecpokemonjones]

Whenever their themesong plays in the beginning i cant help but to pelvic thrust!

[@dumptuckk]

I'm not sure if they know that a bucket of lava lasts much longer than coal, and is easier to get?

[@BOLTZtheCLOWN]

what mod is this ?

[@brianspencer7561]

U guys are sjincredible! I feel fully sjinformed on the ways of sipsco now!

[@brookebennett2991]

Really digging how Sjin is saying bye by saying "I love you" lately. I feel the love.

[@Agent_Dangles]

Omg, greatest night ever. Not only did I find out I got A's on both my midterms, but while I'm watching sips and sjin (which is great in and of itself) my key for the Hearthstone beta comes in!

[@Oldefargnu]

Love you too Sjin

[@Killersquirrel66]

Treecapitator + Greatwood Trees = best charcoal farm ever! Run up a line of furnaces and plant a forest of about ten trees and you can generate more charcoal than you'll ever need. I barely bother using anything else.

[@Hspecialsx]

Northern Tamriel. North of Cyrodiil North East of Hammerfell. Big snowy province. Can't miss it! :)

[@Ellais]

Sjin is little baby! The pipe only goes to other direction if there's pipe that takes it to other direction (or there's no space left)... Good old Sipsie is the star!

[@Spartan3457]

Sips, if you keep clicking on the resin spots, then you can get more resin out of it. You can usually click them 3 times.

[@thatguy57]

The Stirling engines are actually very renewable. I set up a farm block to grow trees, and pipe them into electric furnaces, which turned the wood into charcoal, then piped it back into the Stirling engines. Periodically, I have to put new dirt in, and refill the fertilizer, but, I don't generally have to worry about my power situation.

[@mr_mags_x9233]

you can power the quarry by electric if you use an energy link. power source connected to energy link- conductive pipes from energy link to quarry. the quarry will go really fast

[@123455thatguy]

You guys need to set up a nether Geo station using a chunk loader to keep it running connected to a BC converter which is simple to make just look it up. Then use 2 energy tesseracts to keep your quarry running non stop at a reasonably fast speed.

[@AugustVonpetersborg]

You should look into Dartcraft and make a Force Tree farm, run the logs through a squeezer and pump the liquid force into Force Engines. If you set up a milk farm and pump the milk into the engines for a throttle they're as good as industrial steam engines or fuel powered combustion engines but are totally renewable and never explode.

[@deepfriedbabeezii8418]

Use scaffolds to fuel your engines! It takes a steady supply of wood but a set of 16 scaffolds only costs about 1 log and gives 4x as much power as planks would!

[@EastyMush]

sips if you place a block above the ladders going to the attic and then place the strapdoor on the side of that block it will go on top of the hole allowing you to move up and down freely

[@2626christian]

You guys can just hit the Subsets button in your inventory screen and sort items by what's in IC2. you can see what will work with your Quarry that way

[@dogishappy0]

A watermelon farm tended by a Minefactory Reloaded harvester with a diamond range upgrade can fully supply two 36HP High Pressure steam furnaces. Direct all the melon slices to Autocrafting tables to make seeds, then send all the seeds to a BioReactor, and pipe the bio-fuel to the furnaces. Then turn the steam into power using the universal energy mod. This makes a crazy amount of power, and i highly recommend it.

[@miwright21]

That works too (and it's what I use currently), but as you've said, it's slightly more material-intensive.

[@Favorites4483]

they havent even made an iron furnace yet, that would be in episode a million at their rate, which is why we love 'em.

[@siriphenees]

i agree with you except on the boring part, i liked seeing sjin doing all the tree breeding and bee breeding, made sense when i was trying to do the same on ftb

[@jimmygamer9579]

gotta love when Sips is so focused he just ignores any request from someone haha oh that crescent hammer that Sjin continues to ask for

[@dennisthe-menace5583]

You can use lava buckets to power the quarry, you have to replace them more often but they're easier and faster to get

[@shanet.1665]

Try the Hobbyist engine.. It is pretty good early on and is very efficient compared to the Sterling. Three or four engines will provide a decent amount of power for Buildcraft and Thermal Expansion machines. You should really get a tree farm planted and create a Charcoal factory and then you will be good for energy.

[@miwright21]

A great source of power (low-to-mid tier) is to use a pump in the Nether over one of the larger lava lakes to pump lava to an Ender tank which is connected to another Ender tank in the "Overworld". You can then stockpile this lava in a tank and output it to several Magmatic engines. As long as you leave a chunk loader by the pump in the Nether (and in the overworld if you're going to be very far from your base), you'll have far more than enough power until you can craft end-tier sources.

[@Vuldyn]

if you right click with the trapdoor on the block opposite to the ladder, it will hinge on the other side, and then you can get up that ladder.

[@bitteroldskunk]

blue electric engines are the best and if you use solar or wind to charge the battery boxes it in it self is a total renewable energy source, but be warned, it will make the quarry fly and the 50/50 chance of the the pipes spilling goes to 10/80, lol it will spill more items then the pipes will handle.

[@XzMondayNightzX]

Electrical engines from Forestry run on IC2s power source. They can also be improved with circuit boards.

[@malcolm5304]

i don't know anything about quarries but if you were to run any pipe 1 block above the engines they should link up and all the coal you harvest will filter in

[@xmyusernamesucksx]

Sjin sounds so cute when he says I love you at the end

[@FallingofftheGrid]

Nicely done :) Hooray for the Heimerdinger!

[@TheOneBonja]

Is it possible to have a normal tree farm with block breakers feeding wood into a system to cook it into charcoal and then can be used in the engines? or do they only take coal

[@shaquiquio]

Buildcraft pipes let you send things both ways. So you could make a chest on the platform that will send coal to the engines if it runs out completely

[@Hugh.Manatee]

The Steam Engines are from railcraft. They're pretty efficient, but you need to build a boiler for them. Once you're done with the quarry, you can repurpose the boiler for a Steam Turbine (IC2 electricity) though. Google railcraft steam boiler to see how to set it up.

[@claykie754]

make a layer of dirt under the tree growing area a few blocks down and turn it into a small farm, with the water used to wet the soil also serving as a water elevator down into the quarry

[@matthewbotham9701]

You should make an extractor as well because if you put rubber or rubber wood in there you will get even more rubber than you would if you smelt it.

[@AnAngryDutchGamer]

Try to get an extractor up and running ASAP, it potentially more than triples your rubber income. It'll give 3 rubber per sticky resin, and you can put rubber wood in it as well to get rubber.

[@carltheshivan]

You can use any fuel in a Stirling engine! Coal, wood, saplings, ect.

[@Absternaut]

Sjin's 'I love you' at the end though haha aww

[@Seldion]

The rail craft engines are more fuel effecent then the Stirling engine, the coal will last twice as long in the hobby engine but it also requires water.

[@ThePhizz1982]

You can run a Stirling engine off charcoal. Could you use a multifarm to farm logs, burn them in a furnace and feed the charcoal into the engines?

[@samhatescreepers]

6:58 that's a top 5 moment right there lol

[@Bluedude303]

Sjin you were right about the pipes except the last one. If there is only the chest to go in, it will guaranteed go in there unless that chest fills up full

[@klaxoncow]

True, but that's a fairly good ratio, to be honest, considering that solar panels don't need fuel. So, sure, you have to build three of them to match what a coal engine does - but, once you've done that, it'll just work and you never have to worry about fuel ever again. In the short term, there's more upfront cost to get going. But, long term, it's worth it because it gets rid of fuel problems forever thereafter.

[@ubercatTHEubernerd]

plus I think the kind of rubber wood they got turns to like 8 planks (or it could be the crap that turns to sticks but I think that only is in jungles) and if so 8 planks is worth more power then one coal

[@HornetRider599]

The Blulectric engines turn blutricity into buildcraft power so using either solar panels or a windmill and kinetic engine will be free energy.

[@Breakfast221]

Bluelectric engines are really good. Just get some Redpower solar panels (the flat ones) and you're good.

[@lucasleaper5750]

If you go to one of those purple towers and dig down on it there are loads of special treasures and there cool blocks so win win

[@JamesDinkel]

Blulectric does not interface or convert in any way to IC2 or buildcraft power. The mod that adds blutricity has also been completely abandoned, so we know the server they play Sipsco on is Minecraft 1.4.7 or earlier.

[@codebracker]

The pipe doesnt spill if it ends at the chest, also you can just run the pipe over the engines and the coak will go in

[@KingBobbito]

What is he talking about at 3:45? The last piece of the pipe connects up with the last chest, meaning that anything going down the pipe will enter the chest (until the chest is full, of course). It would be the same as if you just had a single chest with a pipe feeding into it.

[@jacobheath7062]

"i think you were standing on top of the dwarf tree" funniest moment on dirt factory yet

[@Chopsisity]

Quarries take Buildcraft power, so Redstone, Stirling, or Combustion engines. Steam engines are Railcraft which do output Buildcraft power. So the only renewable energy engine is Redstone which is painfully slow or farm Charcoal for Stirling. However, Forestry adds two new engines that output Buildcraft. As Sjin said Biogas Engines can become renewable, and Electrical Engines which are used to convert IndustrialCraft power into Buildcraft. IC comes with Solar Panels.

[@klaxoncow]

The loop will help, though, should all the chests get completely full. Stuff will then go round and round inside the pipes, giving them a visual indication that the chests are full - because they'll see loads of stuff filling up the pipes, which makes it obvious that the chests are all full, without having to look inside all the chests to see - and that also buys them plenty of time to empty out the chests to make more room, without anything despawning in the meantime.

[@tcorsan123]

If you place the trapdoor on the block on the opposite side from the ladder you can climb up easily.

[@ZeRomanEmpire]

Re-enacting the strongman_bruno tree-suffocating scene! Brilliant!

[@HeBe2Beefd]

You could just set up blulectric engines they give off up to 32mj/t which means they are the best way to power a quarry. Also redstone energy cells and redstone energy conduits let you attach more engines and store their energy

[@HelperMega]

Guys! Put a wood block in the wall adjacent to the entrance to the attic. Then put a trapdoor on said block. That way you can get up there no sweat!

[@TheWoodyWoodsman]

Use Solar Array's and Set up the quarry with an Energy Link. You won't need to use any other resources eg. Coal, Oil, Gas.

[@Amythebard2]

steam boilers require a big boiler that constantly needs water and takes 10 stacks+ of coal to warm up but when they heat up to a couple thousand degrees they don't use much coal and produce lots of power. Magmatic engines require lava that can be pumped from the nether and are more efficient

[@MadBagGamer]

Sjin is right. At every chest there is a Y in the pipe. It is a 50/50 chance that it will take either leg of the Y, one terminating in a chest. Sjin described exactly what you describe.

[@astro143_]

use a boiler connected to an energy bridge and it can put out over 80 mj per tick.

[@LeafMountainChannel]

The items won't pop out at the end of the pipes. The items alternate going into the chest or continue going through the pipe. If there is only one way to go, the items will go that way! So they will end up in the last chest.

[@adnyboomkin]

Bluelectric engines convert blutricity into buildcraft power, for renewable energy you could make a field of solar panels wired to the engines to power the quarry, maybe add some batboxes so they can run all night too

[@emilhellberg4854]

6:53-top 5 moment right there!!

[@stuartmcloughlin4511]

sjin suffocating in a wall is definitely gonna be a top 5 moment :)

[@Quifuh]

Sips, place the trapdoor the opposite side, not facing the ladder or you won't be able to climb up normally because the trap door is on the way when it's open.

[@gabrielteng9193]

There was actually no need for them to loop the pipes around because at the end there was no junction and only one way for the items to go, which is in to the last chest. The only way for the items to pop out of the pipes is if all the chests are filled up with no space left.

[@prixx1212]

Instead of Macerator make a Pulverizer.Its a little bit faster and you dont need to use any pipes to get the stuff out!

[@Favorites4483]

It's on Steam, or buy it by other means. I think you can buy it from the Elders Scrolls Official site.

[@10kBounty]

Face the other way whilst placing to fix the trapdoor. It means it is open on the ladder side. Like so they can see.

[@TheNiters]

If that last chest had filled up, then the pipe system would have overflowed though. If they have the junction next to the chest, then it will not overflow; the item will continue. If there is a straight pipe block between the junction and the chest, then it will sort 50/50 and still overflow if it goes to chest.

[@johndoeanon445]

Do you mean putting rubber tree logs in an extractor or can you actualy pump it right out of the trees?

[@dohrwardtwyatt]

I love Sjin's logic with the 50/50 chance issue

[@InconvenientlyConscious]

Could they use clockwork engines, or are they not in their version of Forestry? Because that would be a good starter engine.

[@TLJGames]

As long as there are no loose pipes leading nowhere, Sjin, the items will never fall on the ground

[@sanguisdominus]

The real time of day. The best time of day.

[@rdizzy1]

That's what I do when starting out w quarries, especially fast with treecap

[@ThePortalPlays]

Timmy is did the right thing sucking up the water! That's what made the job twice as long!

[@sqbuilder1328]

did you know there is a block that turns any group of blocks into an airship? that would be great for advertizment, you could put a big ass sign as well

[@toasty4000000]

If you had an automated tree farm you could farm pump the trees into a furnace to make charcoal. Use that charcoal to make more charcoal and fuel your engines.

[@addobandre99]

To keep the quarry running without coal, just make a tree farm, automate a furnace to convert the wood into charcoal and use the charcoal in the stirling engines

[@AnnieMCGaming]

best way to cheer up after the worst day ever

[@acer44444]

I love this series

[@DestinyDragonGod]

Use magmetic engines. Build a pump and go to the nether. Then in the middle of a lava lake build some sort of multi pump station. Get a world anchor and place it somewhere there. Also make two liquid teseracts; place one beside the pump or connect it with waterproof pipes. Set your frequency then set to send only. Go back to the overworked place the other teseract where ever then set the frequency the same and to receive only. Once that's complete your going to want to have a bunch of those glas

[@mikeshaw3520]

is you click alot of times with the tree tap it wears it out more but you get likw 5,6 rubber from each but then it does not grow back

[@raymondjohnson1824]

Work towards tesseracts for energy. Its also the best way to transport lava from the nether for power

[@kubaf2000]

A better engine than the stirling one is the steam engine. (The one out of copper) It takes coal and water, so you can use an aqueous accumulator for the water.

[@terratombsie3986]

biogas engines work pretty well along with a wheat and autocrafting table

[@GothenburgGaming]

After using the tap on a yellow spot there will be a faint mark left, try using it on the same spot again immediately.

[@man111395]

You can get more rubber from the rubber wood logs if you extract it.

[@ianvidic1603]

Cook with lava bucket it can cook a stack of stuf easy!! You get the bucket back.

[@TheJG845]

Guys, put the pipes for the chest under the platform, it would severely increase the aesthetics of the Hiemerdinger. Sincerely JG :)

[@tekiman69]

Dear sips, My name is Guus. I'm a 13 year old boy from the netherlands. My hobby's are making music, skateboarding and gaming. I just wanted to tell you that you are the most awesome person I know, and I wanted to thank you for everytime you make my day. I'm writing this message, because you make me smile, and maybe you'll smile too when you read this (if you even read this in the first place). Stay awesome you big bastard. - Guus

[@123455thatguy]

Well granted it may be difficult but it only uses basic materials you don't really need complex machines to make it. So I'm guessing they could if they put a little effort into assembling them.

[@hakansener2556]

You guys should should make the magmatic engine. And get lava from the nether. Your quarry is about to mine some obsidian so it will all work out.

[@kylecadman3194]

I love u guys, i think you are going a great job, keep up the good work. oh and i aint getting board of your videos, so plz plz make more!!!!

[@ubercatTHEubernerd]

they also could use wood because 1 wood makes 4 planks each giving 1.5 cooking power in the end that one full wood turned to planks gives 6 cook power not that much less and with the amount of wood they have it's just as easy to just use wood for power for now
