So I got an idea from a discussion that went on a bit back; namely a spell-turret that makes you ice when you press a button.
Now the big question is how it would work; I've got an idea but was curious on how wiser minds might go about it, as my idea is a little... honestly pedestrian and clumsy.

I have just the thing for you

#

What is the ice used for?

versed pond
#

I am building a great wall

next jetty
#

So is that all there is to the spell, no pickup or anything?

#

Also, manipulation infused turret? Not familiar with that one.

versed pond
#

the screen cut off but the last part after extract was pickup

ebon prawn
#

I have a question, if pickup is used by a spell turret does the item go to you directly?

versed pond
#

it goes into adjacent inventory

#

in the case above, the chest

ebon prawn
#

Sadge. Imagine doing this plus jar of voiding

next jetty
#

So how do you make that turret then, because that spell needs it?

versed pond
#

you can do rune sensitive pickup for wireless pickup

#

manipulation infused turret does require ars elemental

#

but it acts as if you had a blockshapers focus - when it creates water any next part of the spell is cast on the water (freeze freeze break etc)

next jetty
#

Dangit, so not one I can make.

#

Yeah, familiar with that part. Very neat design either way!

ebon prawn
#

You can do delay

next jetty
#

Delay works? Hm.

#

I could do that then, yeah.

#

Anyways, have to run. The land of Nod beckons to me. Will look in when I wake up!

#

The power of Vending Machines will be mine!

versed pond
#

for some reason i can't get a regular turret to cast conjure water lol

ebon prawn
#

You might need to do touch sensitive before

versed pond
#

tried that, weirdly didnt work. projectile does tho

ebon prawn
#

Could also do arc and point it upward then wait for it to fall down tho i imagine the server wont like that

versed pond
#

i have tried several methods without using block shaping and it is not working

#

depending on how much ice you need you can just do it manually

#

highly recommend elemental lol i couldnt imagine playing without it

#

ignore placeholder spell name lol it was a name spell for a rainbow jelly

versed pond
#

Well in that case I think you made the best use of all the available resources! I wouldn’t call it pedestrian or clumsy at all

next jetty
#

Compared to yours it is! But it's fine, I am making a more novel one using Ars Noveau and Create.

#

With the timer I have in mind it'll make 8 ice/4 ticks which... should be enough.

#

When running, that is. I prefer high rate of production kept up for a short period, rather than constant creation and voiding.

versed pond
#

damn yeah that is very respectable. what is it you're using the ice for?

#

would be interested to see your final design if you want to share

next jetty
#

Oh, nothing. I just decided to make a vending machine for it. One-button press sort of thing.

#

My thinking is that one button press will keep it running for six seconds, during which it will be spewing out ice.

#

Should be enough for whatever anyone has in mind.

versed pond
#

I actually love that lol, feels like a restaurant

next jetty
#

Mm. My current idea is to make the ice under the building, the machine will just be a wireless redstone contact from Create, and then use a chute and a portal to spew it out.

#

So the above surface "machine" will just be 3x3x2. Probably built into a wall.

versed pond

#

Oh, wow, you found it IRL.

#

Well done!

#

And yes, that is now what it will look like.

So, what is the output rate of this thing? Made a new modpack, more up to date and with more expansions.

#

I'm considering doing a similar setup to rapidly create sand.

#

Well, similar setups honestly. For cobblestone, gravel, etc.

versed pond
#

The output would vary based on which block you’re trying to make, some require less glyphs so you can fit more aoe, and vice versa. The one that makes blue ice does a 2x2 every time it casts, not sure how fast an observer clock runs but it’s gotta be like 8 blocks every 2 game ticks? Or something like that

#

With cobble you could fill it with aoe and pierce to make a lot more: touch :conjure_terrain: pierce pierce pierce aoe aoe amplify break pickup

#

The only limiting factor becomes making sure you can get enough source into the system fast enough

next jetty
#

Yes, I knew that would vary, the question was about the ice machine. And fair enough, good to know.

#

Gives me a baseline for rate of operation.

#

so, i'm trying to make this work for me, but the conjure water turrent isn't making the water?

#

Probably a claims mod interfering, do you have the area claimed?

inner stump
#

it was in fact claim issue, thank you

non cobble generator

#

2 are create recipes, 1 is starbunclemania

#

infinite sourcestone is lovely tho

versed pond
grave cosmos
#

this looks so efficient

#

maybe i should look into create 😄

versed pond
#

Always look into create

#

Ars and create is a god combo
