Ars + Create iron farm

[paper yew]

this will make iron nuggets:

In short, it puts down cobble, crushes to gravel and output of it is iron / copper / etc

on a manip turret

doesnt that require caelum

i came up with this design which roughly generates 1 block of iron per minute's worth of gravel

but it's not really a scalable thing

personally
id just self+burst+sensitive+aoe spam+conjure terrain+amp+delay+crush+break with block shaping

I’ve seen a few create farm that use that method to mine cobble, do you know if there is a name for that and if there is a trick to get the timing right?

[pearl orbit]

There’s two main ways, a minecart self resetting machine and double gantry system, there’s not a specific name for them but they both involve rapidly phasing between contraption and blocks

Im using a minecart here

And the timing is 16 ticks

So using a redstone timer at 16 ticks or 4 repeaters fully ticked you can sync up the turret to the cobble gen

For gantry shafts they’re a bit faster, if i had to guess either 10 or 12 ticks

[craggy lion]

Is it just 1 singular good timing for each type of method or is it “whatever you feel is right” type of situation

I kinda understand the way it work, I just don’t know how to sync the placing and the breaking basically

[pearl orbit]

For minecarts it’s always 16 ticks

For gantry shafts it can be different bcs of changing speeds and it depends on wether you make the shaft too long

[craggy lion]

and by 16 do you meant the "minecart being contraption for 16 tick"?
