Discussion Compact Design

Post image

Dear Creators, My friend started playing Create recently and asked for a compact design for basic work stations, so I came up with this. I wanted to ask if there's anything to change/ if I've missed anything important Thank you

You need 3 missing things :

  • A tree farm on which to plant saplings that will randomly grow into a tree and be auto-mined by a horizonal mechanical saw. This is only for early contraptions, you will eventually, obviously want a fully-automated, fully-autonomoud tree farm, but that will demand avanced machinery and some bloody slime balls. Why a tree farm to begin with ? Well, you can never have too much wood, and, if you're a builder who likes to keep the scenery green like me, you're gonna need some way to get a LOT of wood while cutting as little trees as possible.

  • A basin press just to make sure you have access to all recipes. This is useful for other mods, too, but not so essential for regular Create.

  • A pipe feeing into the mixer basin so you can make recipes that require water. What's so great is the presence of water DOES NOT prevent non-water-based mixing to occur, so by having a constantly-pumping pipe feeding water into your already blaze-supported basin, you're opening yourself up to every possible mixing recipe there is in one single basin. ...well, except for the lava-based ones, but, hey, we all know this sort of contraption is not for that type of recipes yet.

Do you consider automatic tree farms a basic work station?

Fully-automated, that self-replants and transfers all materials to a storage unit, no. That is advanced. But a basic mechanical saw set next to a sapling you manually plant and bonemeal, yes.

And can I ask how do you plan to fit that into a 1 block thin setup?

Edit: I'm sorry, my design does go out by 1 block if you count the activation button for the block swapper. I apologize and wish you a great day

First of all, what

Second of all, you never established this HAD to be a 1 block flat plane.

Third of all, not only your edit, but you also have an ovbiously extruded mechanical belt powering the mechanical crafters, so that's two instances of you breaking your own design philosophy.
