automatic solar panel factory

[penfold1992]

I want to make an automatic solar panel factory but I dont know if this is possible to do (with the space I have to make it in)

a Solar panel takes:

3 coal dust

3 Glass blocks

2 Electronic circuits - 6 copper wire, 1 refined iron, 2 red stone

1 Generator: - 1 furnace, 1 battery, 1 machine

1 furnace: 6 cobblestone

1 Machine: 6 refined iron

1 battery: 4 tin, 2 red stone, 1 copper wire

6 copper wire: 3 copper 6 rubber

so this to me tells me I will need:

a macerator

a furnace (to make refined iron that I cant create using a condenser)

5 condensers (1 for each: copper, rubber, red stone, tin and iron)

I would also need:

8 Auto crafting tables (1 for each: copper wire, battery, machine, furnace, generator, electronic circuits and solar panel)

Am i calculating this correctly? as in... this will take a LOT of work.

i can let you on my server if you want to see how i have done mine

The whole factory is powered by the panels it made

I believe that is what you need. However, you'll also need either pipes and engines or pneumatic pipes and filters to get all the stuff where you need to. I'd suggest probably a 10x10x10 room to build all of this in. Good luck.

Also if you use pneumatic redstone pipes you don't need all the different timers, just one connected to a pipe and jacketed wires to connected the pipes to carry the timer signal.

My smallest standard solar panel factory was 5x8x5 with the final 5 being height and 2 of those blocks being underground.

My current factory is bigger than that, but uses maglev pipes and accelerators and has a single pipe backbone with all objects color coded to go to the right place. Without the maglev pipe setup I'm sure I could get it smaller still with a shared backbone system.

Also, if you're going for speed, you'll want 2 extracters and 2 furnaces. you'll also want two tables making copper wire.

shuttleu I sent you a message in a conversation thing, I wonder if you get a notification for it or not.

for furnaces and macerators would it be better to use induction furnaces and... (if there is an upgrade for the macerator)

If you have the power you can get normal ones going faster in my experience. 14 overclockers running on HV is plenty fast enough

I am a very green person so I wish to use only the renewable resources to generate power.

thats why I was looking for a solar panel factory to power HV XD

Just re-read your initial post, you're going to need more condensors too, you need coal (to make coal dust), glass and finally one to make furnaces (rather than cobble and then using a table, just condense the furnace directly).
