Behemoth 1: A beta 1.7.3 Better Than Wolves Mega Factory

Post by CreeperCannibal »

Hey all, it's been a while. Anyways, I've decided to roll back to beta 1.7.3 and backport lenses, bellows blowing, hard-core buoy, buddy blocks and possibly a few other features I've forgotten about.

In the spirit of Etho's Lab I've constructed a Mob grinder for animals and hostile entities with some controls over where the mobs and thier products go.

This has all been done on the Pojav launcher for android should any questions about the UI arise.

As of right now I have junctions for sending cows and sheep to either the Saw, lava or special rooms for milking and shearing. The pigs have a saddle room or the Saw and chickens are between a coop with Hoppers for eggs or lava. Leather can either be sent to storage, to be rendered or tanned. Porkchops are either rendered or cooked.

I also have light controls for the hostile tower levels.

Along with that I've made use of hard-core buoy to build a wool sorting and distribution system.

Looking down into an auto wood cutter I probably won't be able to fully automate it given space is tight.

There are a few flaws that I want to improve on for the next version. Most abhorrent is the lack of pre planning. It's led to me having no space to further add other systems which rely on resources from the Mob grinder (bonemeal being a big example).

Secondly, the indication panel is showing only what's selected and having no feedback from the devices controlled, I'm not big on finding out resources are sent somewhere unintentionally. I'll probably install lenses to check for items being dropped into their proper locations.

Wow, you casually went back and added a bunch of features to Beta BTW and have been building old fashioned automation builds on your cell phone? That is insanely cool.

Would you be willing to post your special version of BTW 1.7.3? I would love to try and get this running on my own phone (as if I need even more ways to play BTW...)

Sure! I'm not good at coding so I'll have to post the entire jar since I reworked pchan3's airship and Balkon's weaponmod around Better Than Wolves meaning some of their items are inside of the mod_fcbetterthanwolves.java file.

I'd also like to post the source since that's the best place to find recipe changes I put in.

Where would be the best place to host these?

Holy shit, what an amazing job, that's wonderful :)
I'm getting some flashbacks to my first world shortly after seeing Etho's mobtrap and mob sorting video, where I too wanted to have a megabase with production on top and processing bellow :D

And yeah like Aaron said, I'm sure others would be interested in your android port, especially since you backported some really cool features !
If you don't mind coming over on the discord (https://discord.gg/qjsfB7ZTjd) to share it, it would be really appreciated :)

And please keep posting more screenshots, it's never enough ;)

You and Etho were big inspirations! Anyways, I'm on the discord as Roc. I'll post updates as I continue to tack on new systems. I need a spider farm.

Posted in the discord. Just in case, I'll also post the download to source, jar and change logs here too.

Speaking of automated trees, I finally got a 1 tick clock working for my woodbuddy. It provides 9 stacks of wood in 4 minutes. Supervision is still required as the sapling may fail to plant sometimes

What a wonderful world !
Good old tree farms, so much simpler back then :D
I'm surprised you're not using the lens to send signals over long distance rather than those little redstone lines over the cobble since you went through the trouble of backporting it !

Thanks for sharing more pics <3

Well, you see... I uhh, ran out of gold. I do have lenses for just about all vertical redstone. Some lenses like the ones next to block dispensers are used for a 3 way redstone selector where a slab, redstone wire and a light block are used to select between three different options. I think I can make one with a repeater for four different options. I just haven't needed one yet.
