Re: Compact 100% efficient soul bottler

This is prettymuch the same as the system I've got running myself, copied and built mine off a video showing this same method a few months ago; (The method for detection, and replacement of urns), except! It's not 100% efficient. When the netherrack passes over the hopper, and 'filters', passing the...

Re: WIP: Humane Dung Farm

It's a good thing we can't craft blocks of dung...I think some odd fellow out there would probably make his whole kennel out of dung blocks. Oh wait. We can do that. *steeples fingers and says "excellent" just like Mr. Burns* You -could- go one step further, and make your entire kennel ou...

Re: Design Change Warning: Rotating Gear Boxes

Does this include gear boxes being moved by a piston or placed by a BD? I can understand the reasoning behind it, but then it would make my planned sky base impossible, that relies on a windmill and can switch to emergency power via a water wheel, a spout and water tanks, when it rains. Just thinki...

Re: Tube kiln mechanics?

from my observation, clay pottery has a chance to cook every tick, it also doesnt seem to be cumulative, ie, each tick is a higher chance than the last. Mine are on a reasonably fast push cycle, and will often cook on the first kiln block, rarely do they make it to the 6th out of about 12. with an a...

Re: Auto Kiln, self flushing, no water, ONE piston.

Simple :) Pottery over a hopper turns into item form, sand doesn't :) If you do something like I did for my Clay block/Urn filter, it would work the same way, but for the cooking. Would look cool to use that for both the Kiln and the Pottery setup actually :) Ill have to try that. Of course, you co...

Re: Auto Kiln, self flushing, no water, ONE piston.

how hard would it be to recycle the sand? Step 1: Pick sand up from chest at end Step 2: Walk to front of kiln (about 14 steps or something) Step 3: Put sand in block dispenser =) Unless you mean to automate it, then: The hopper at the end, feed it into a small stream of water, that runs the result...

Re: Trying to create a lunar calendar

Yea, might take some of the presupposed 'difficulty' out of it, but with the BD, lens, and detector block, I think you could make this in a 3x3 area hehe.

Now what you could do, is hook it up to a wolf breeder, and set it up to only release wolves on full moon cycles? >.>

My kiln; 1 piston, 1 BD, no water, self flushing, can easily be hooked up to most auto pottery systems =) (As long as you reload it with sand every once in a while.)

Auto Kiln, self flushing, no water, ONE piston.

Hey guys, so I've seen a few threads about auto kilns, and people going about it two different ways, the first being that you have to flush the system with dirt blocks every 5 minutes, and the second being a series of pistons which run after a period of time, crushing the kiln with sticky pistons an...

Nice start! can you not replace the hopper on the left with a sign? Maybe it'd be easier..

Thanks! I built an auto kiln hooked up to a dispenser on the end too, that only uses 1 piston, and flushes everythign out automatically using sand that gets destroyed when it reaches the end, so no water, and no line of pistons all the way down lol. Laggy enough as is. Also put in an auto urn > soul...

Re: Nether Compatible, Infinitely Extendable Auto-pottery sy

Your setup for the bottom left, facing from the front, did not work for me. The single redstone blocks between the green wool do not transmit the redstone current from wool to wool, and so, plugging in a current at the end did not work. I have removed the blocks in between the green wool (orange woo...
