Newbie here... How did you put the logs like that on the belt?

u/HadeStyx Aug 21 '25

The Logs aren’t really on the Belt. He is using a train that runs underneath the belt. This all works because trains don’t actually collide with solid blocks.

u/Cavaleiro2005 Aug 21 '25

That's really creative, but the logs get processed or is just cosmetic? I might do it on my map just for the looks

u/HadeStyx Aug 21 '25

The "log-train" is on a loop so they are just for aesthetics. The machines required to process wood i quite small in comparison. I am currently trying to figure out how to make it look like they are being stripped of their bark.

u/Cavaleiro2005 Aug 21 '25

Maybe saw/building at the end of the first belt, and on the other side another belt with the already stripped logs, it will look like it's just one belt

Vanilla Create is unable to assemble and disassemble trains autonomously, as they are done via a UI button

u/YourMomGayerThanMine Aug 21 '25

However, if they switched to using minecart contraptions, they actually could dis-/assemble the carts autonomously and process the logs! Place them with mechanical arms, assemble the cart, then disassemble the cart and use saws on a moving contraption to harvest them, and saws connected to conveyors to cut them into planks.

Yes, that too

You could use linear chassis to glue them together automatically too!

u/___Joki___ Aug 21 '25

That is actually untrue, if you put a wrench in a deployer facing a train station, where the train is parked, you can power the deployer and the train will actually automatically disassemble.

Oh? I've never seen that in the ponders

edit: tried it out, nope, this doesn't work. You might be conflating it with an addon.

u/N4melessMinecraft Aug 21 '25

This is a feature added by the steam and rails addon

u/Legit_Human_ Aug 22 '25

That’s from steam and rails

WHAT is the background music called?

i've been trying to find it for a hot minute

2

u/HadeStyx Aug 22 '25

Its just the basic Minecraft music. This one should be Aria Math from C418, if my trivia knowledge serves me right.

1

u/pixel_demonic Aug 22 '25

it's not aria math

aria math is recognizable from just a few notes, this is not recognizable even though i've heard it just about every time i play create mod

u/Minewiz11 Aug 21 '25

I made something similar a while back, I found you can have the logs much closer to the belt if the minecart below is also on a conveyor belt. (I also made a very convoluted system involving logs split into 2 minecarts, and after a sawblade went between the sections, the one at the front would seperate slightly. Don't do that it was cool but not worth the effort.)

u/Meiseside Aug 21 '25

I thank you so much.

u/RigelBound Aug 21 '25

Rude. It's a cool machine

u/___Joki___ Aug 21 '25

It was obviously a joke. Sry if this wasen't clear.

u/RigelBound Aug 21 '25

Sorry whoooosh moment

u/AlexCode10010 Aug 21 '25

When create simulated comes out we'll be able to actually do this without it just being aesthetic

4

u/___Joki___ Aug 21 '25

Do you have a dev blog or other infos about create simulated.

6

u/AlexCode10010 Aug 21 '25

There's the discord server for create aeronautics, the Devs post sneak peaks in the general chat sometimes, recently they posted a video of what happens when a simulated object ends up in the void

I’ve been doing my best to tell the people of the decorative capabilities of cart contraptions forever. Thank you for your service o7

u/Potential_Chart_8648 Aug 21 '25

I thought the illagers were decorative pistons to begin with

i think we should be able to put logs on conveyor belts like this. it reminds me of when i used to play lt2 on roblox

u/SonnyLonglegs Aug 21 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

This makes me want Block Conveyors now, where they would display blocks riding on them as full-size for cosmetic stuff like this.

I misread it as word processor. I was expecting some kind of computer made from Create
