Automatic Diamond Farm

[Smallxmac]

So i was working on a diamond farm... and i could not find a video about it on the new tekkit so i made one. Tell me what you guys think and any improvements i can make to it. Hope you enjoy!

I found the BB Code but here is the link as well

you can actually get this down to a fraction of the size, the chests are completely useless in the build as are the pumps, your TE devices will auto output into pipe or even just the device next to them. The concept is a bit exploitative, I'm sure the infinite wood thing will get fixed at some point.

Yeah i just like that for a few reasons but thanks your way is the same thing to accomplish the same goal. Thanks for the tip!

You don't really have to use the infinite wood exploit. Just plonk down a 25x25 spruce or birch tree farm using MFR harvesters and a planter, and you have more wood than you will ever need. The problem is Minium stones, those are expendable.

The wood farm would actually give you a much higher output then using the sawmill --> log trick. Plus you get other materials to work with besides just logs, as a bonus.

[TokiWartooth]

True, I was just pointing out the exploitative nature of it, you could always do this same thing legit ways, just like you can set up a blaze farm instead of doing the infinite craft of blaze rods into powder and back.

That blaze rod craft was removed from 1.1.x, don't count on it for the next release.

[Magister]

this has actually been around for a long time when using TE and EE3, it is even more exploitable with TC3 as it becomes easily self powered

[TokiWartooth]

dash my point was that it is gone, hence they are removing infinite machine loops, therefore don't build a system that relies on them such as the infinite wood loop.

[Magister]

technically it is not an infinite loop since the number of times the minimum stone can be used is finite, also even with the removale of the infinite wood a tree farm can produce more wood at a faster pace as viktor pointed out above

[Smallxmac]

Ahh that is true, Thanks for the comments. I was really using this video to start off my channel really and I'm not sure what to put on it next. Any ideas?

[TokiWartooth]

Depends how beginner or advanced do you wanna get, also aiming for 5-10 minute videos may be a better target time 30 mins for something that is supposed to be "simple" is kinda too long, once I understood the concept you were going for I could set it up it about 5 minutes. However I have to say thanks for showing me the distribution pipe I thought that was a Logistics Pipe thing and is super useful for low tech systems.

[Smallxmac]

Your welcome, and i was thinking that the whole time, Like this video is getting really long i hope people will still watch it.
