Automate Honey via Mechanical Power?

[narrow sierra]

Hello,

I'm really new to Big Chad Guys (Plus + Cobblemon) and new to mechanical stuff and redstone. I'm trying to figure out how to set up a system to automatically pull honey from the hives and transfer via pipes that eventually lead to a tank. 've tried pumps and hose pulleys. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is this just not possible?

mechanical pump can only pull from up to 16 blocks so attach a pump to each hive check it's direction when given rotational power make sure it's going toworads the tank you're sucking the honey into then add a pipe to the the bottom of the pumps with a pump to push into the tank from the inputs

may wanna add campfires too to placiate the bees while harvesting honey

could do something like this one if you want it stylish as well

campfires are technically optional in this design btw

Awesome, I'll watch the video and rework it. I put pumps on it and got power to it, but it wouldnt drain them. so i think i missed something crucial lol THANK YOU! 🙂

may have had one pushing into a hive

I had it like this but with pipes attached to the other end.

Ah... postioning issue...

[elfin jetty]

sides of a block are usually used for inputs I assume hives apply that logic also... plus bees can only enter/exit hives from front face of the block so that also may be why

OH

am i able to attach the pump on another part of it?

[elfin jetty]

yeah the bottom

[narrow sierra]

ahaha

okay ill try that

[elfin jetty]

may only need one pump now that I realized that it's not a throughput or similar issue

as long as the pipe isn't going over 16 blocks distance from the pipe you can use just one for the process

though additional pumps if I recall maximum of up to 8 or 9 going into a main pipe do make it go faster

I think that worked!

I attached it without filling the line tho so the honey poured on the ground lmao

but its quickly filling back up because the bees can enter now

one last question; once I have the honey feeding to a tank, how do I extract the honey from the tank?

[elfin jetty]

That is shown in the video

it has a set up for that very thing attached to the farm
