Dentcat Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 So I wanted my factory to look awesome by spicing it up by machines that look like they're doing things they're not. I have creative on so no budget really, but these machines have to: *Be totally useless *Look as though they're doing something *Not look lame *Make it look like my factory is WAY more advanced than theirs when it's not.

Dentcat Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 so how do i set about building this useless thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningCake Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hrmm. Well, what do you want it to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Make a factory that makes charged quantum armour and then incinerates it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentcat Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 good idea. but exaggerate it as much as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningCake Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Yep. That's the purpose of it. A machine or system that produces a simple or pointless result thorough an extremely over complex method or process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Make a viewing area that all the items wizz by in tubes, it'll look pretty awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprolo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Using CCsensors have a huge control room giving off readings of several different random things. Completely useless yet awesome looking. Have windows with those tubes running by too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentcat Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Like a Rube Goldberg machine? If said rube goldberg machine could turn one block of cobblestone into one normal stone using a number of major mods ie. (IC, BC, RP, EE) that would be pretty awesome. like a huge furnace, except bigger than my initial factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprolo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 sensorInfo = sensors.getSensorInfo(side,sensor,"cardType","name","distance","SensorRange","loc","activereading") Copy and pasting this from another thread, but that should be enough to go on if you know CC LUA. If not, I'll just tell you it works in a similar to rednet.receive() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teraku Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I made a useless system just now. It's a duplicator with a stack of Diamonds in it. I pump infinite diamonds out of the thing with Buildcraft (RP isn't in Technic for Minecraft 1.4.2 yet), and send them all into a void pipe. I power the thing with an Electrical Engine running entirely off of one MV Array. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carneymaster11 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Me and a friend had an underground area, so we put tubes going all over our places to various chests with filters and tranposers pulling the UU matter out, sending it through the tubes and down into another chest only to be pulled out and sent to another chest. 6 chests, 7 stacks of tubes, 12 transposers and alot of UU matter doing nothing but flying around.

Now I can make full sets of useful tools and armor, only to burn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconsented Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Use duplicators to take the basic items and then concert it to things like quantum and gem armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraku Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Or when RedPower is updated, make a cycle of deployers taking water from a 1x1 pool using buckets, and then dumping the bucket's contents back into another 1x1 pool. Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentcat Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Or when RedPower is updated, make a cycle of deployers taking water from a 1x1 pool using buckets, and then dumping the bucket's contents back into another 1x1 pool. Repeat. This would work with sand, i think, i can't use water because my pump dried the ocean. it's a good idea though. I want to build a stupidly complex thing anyway. i mean, a pipe building a pipe while pumping pipe through pipes to build itself and then destroying itself to get it's pipe back so it can rebuild itself. THAT'S stupidly complex. And probably impossible, but please correct me if i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
