[Zhuhai Fishing Port]

[ebon osprey]

The structure is the same as the original fishery but should be more efficient.
I referenced the design of a real-world Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) facility.
It includes a water purification and circulation system.
I've posted the newly designed blocks below. These blocks will replace the GT++ blocks in these pictures.(#1425311043545993238 message/#1425311043545993238 message/#1425311043545993238 message「the CTM」)pls look this 😫

If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know—I’d be glad to hear them.

·The buses/hatches can replace any stainless steel blocks/new blocks(If I were allowed to design new blocks)

· As shown in the schematic diagram, this system consists of a fish pond along with several biological tanks and purification devices responsible for clean water circulation.(Automation is quite straightforward, not as painful as WPP. 😨)

· Let's consider the specific shapes and costs later, but the structure is indeed as described.🙃🙃🙃

Since we're talking about a Fishing Port, there must be fish. Therefore, it would be even better to add a fish animation to both the original design and others' structures.😋

ps:This is not Mega Zhuhai. Rather than simply restructuring the existing framework, I prefer it to become a superior alternative to Zhuhai Fishing, similar to the relationship between Dangote Distillus and a Distillation Tower.

cool idea add a whole complex as multi. Not sure about the cost but visual very cool

[fathom kiln]

make the bridge out of a different more fitting material? similar to the one in the drawing?

[elfin moss]

The idea is good details can be discussed later

[fathom kiln]

why is it not symmetrical?

yeah

[ebon osprey]

Yes, I haven't found a suitable block for now, so I'm temporarily using stainless steel as a replacement. If given creative freedom over the textures, I might design a new block that resembles boardwalks.🙃

[ebon osprey]

我草
Thank you DreamMaster😋

[ebon osprey]

It would be great if there could be a texture similar to the scaffold in the Catwalks mod used as the texture for the bridge.

[fathom kiln]

something like that bridge?

[ebon osprey]

Yes, that's the one. It would be perfect if it's a full block.

[jagged mulch]

no giant boat 0/10
(in all seriousness this is a really good design and i wouldn’t mind if this wins, but considering the current prevalent balancing issues with the zhuhai being really underpowered this would be bonkers expensive for it lol)

[true stone]

Mega zhuhai design

[harsh palm]

The giant boat is way too good to pass up I’m sorry 😭

Though a mega Zhuhai or similar concept to keep this suggestion in could be in the cards. Maybe give it a better loot table as well to reflect its operation beyond grander yield

[ebon osprey]

This is not Mega Zhuhai. Rather than simply restructuring the existing framework, I prefer it to become a superior alternative to Zhuhai Fishing, similar to the relationship between Dangote Distillus and a Distillation Tower.

[ebon osprey]

I've seen your design. Your large ship is really cool, and thank you for coming to my place to give your feedback.

[fringe owl]

love it! although i would rather see it as an upgrade or something like that

[ebon osprey]

thank you

[chrome dust]

We go fishdiesel with this

[sharp wyvern]

That is totally not needed😂😂😂though I understand the emotion

Its not easy to spot a fellow Chinese here on discord, and thats one of the best ways

[ebon osprey]

lol.Actually, it's almost impossible to encounter members of the GTNH team within the Chinese internet space. The only exception is occasionally spotting Dream Master in the official QQ group.It's truly exciting to see my favorite Minecraft modpack creator commenting on my post.

[ebon osprey]

The announcement for this structural design event has been posted in the GTNH Chinese QQ group. However, it's quite regrettable that we hardly see any Chinese participants sharing their ideas or comments here. It's a real pity, especially since the creativity within the Chinese community is genuinely impressive.

[fringe owl]

so maybe you could have a single pool for the early game? which would be way less efficient/slower

[ebon osprey]

This machine is positioned roughly around the late stage of HV. Today, I will design a new block to replace the original expensive GT++ Block.Accordingly, a new type of plastic may be required to fabricate this mechanical block, such as High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)—a polymer material superior in strength to PE.However, using polyethylene for this mechanical casing is also a good idea, since the game cannot replicate the production process of polyethylene with different densities.

[ebon osprey]

I have designed the mechanical block required for the pool, temporarily named HDPE Watertight Steel Block Casings. The recipe in the Assembly Machine is: 1 Stainless Steel Frame, 1440L Molten Polyethylene, and 4 Watertight Steel Plates. This is a more cost-effective alternative. Here is its texture preview—feel free to share any suggestions you may have.

[ebon osprey]

It was designed with reference to real-life fish ponds.

[frosty tusk]

This texture looks really nice :3

[ebon osprey]

thank you

[fringe owl]

mb, i dont know much about balancing lol
i thought maybe one can build those single pools that you have designed and like 2 tiers later you unlock the "main filtration and conditioning system" which would boost production etc.

[fringe owl]

also that look really good!

maybe you can change up the top and bottom faces of the pool blocks. they kinda remind me of planks

maybe some kind of bolted texture. ill drop a scetch if i can

[limpid edge]

If considering balancing, I think the main structure is a little big for hv/ev. Another problem is that few people need a 'mega' zhuhai for fish/seaweed producing before uv. So perhaps slightly decreasing the size will be more friendly.
By the way, Ive seen your message in QQ Here we are together for gtnh, so perhaps many are your fellows but you dont know

[fringe owl]

eh not pretty but i hope you get the point. i tried to do some hex bolts but gosh thats hard on 16*16. but i think with some better shading (which i suck at, props to you and any other artist) it could look pretty decent

[fringe owl]

well maybe if you build the filtration structure it would allow you to pack the ponds more tightly?

[ebon osprey]

I hope the top surface of the block is smooth. Actually, the structure might indeed be a bit too large, but for an early-stage large-scale structure, I find it quite impressive.

[fringe owl]

nah tbh the more i think about it, the more i like the original post. i think the sice might be just right

[fringe owl]

also probably scrap that
idealy the block would have a conecting texture to mimic the plastic ponds but idk how intensive that would be to implement
but i do think your texture looks really good!

[jagged mulch]

CTM is easy to implement

[ebon osprey]

However, the possibility of the GTNH team independently adding CTM...
Therefore, let's focus on texture packs, specifically the connecting effects similar to those in the GTM texture pack.

[jagged mulch]

check out ctmlib backport in modernity

[ebon osprey]

However, it seems that connected textures won't be officially implemented, but I can still take a shot at drawing them.

[fringe owl]

that looks a lot like one of these fish ponds, i love it

[ebon osprey]

I still don't know how to draw the cubic elements of the bridge to replace the stainless steel mechanical housing.The final multiblock structure will likely still use a combination of frames and casings.

[ebon osprey]

Does this mean it has become a shortlisted work? When did this happen?

[pine grove]

this means that your design is in the list of ones that can be implemented
