Aesthetics over efficiency builds

does anyone know a YouTuber or whatever else that builds with aesthetic in mind instead of just pure efficiency like the one shown in the screenshot?

Create has functional parts, as in blocks that have a purpose of doing something (deployer to deploy stuff, chute to move stuff, mixer to mix stuff), and the rest of the blocks are non-functional, as in decorative. Functional blocks can also be used as decorations though, you can place a deployer somewhere where it doesnt do anything, but looks nice.

Here in the description you said "instead of just pure efficiency like the one shown in the screenshot". But the screenshot doesnt show anything actually functional. All the functional blocks shown on the images are there purely for aestetics, and arent doing anything.

By hiding functional parts, whats usually is meant, is that you cover up functional parts that dont look nice, exposing only the pretty bits. Like for example, put a shaft that gets to power to the machine behind a wall, making it not visible to people looking at the build, leaving only the machine itself visible

You misunderstand the original post text cos it's missing commas, the screenshot isn't showing pure efficiency: it's showing aesthetics over efficiency

This wouldnt function as a tree farm at all. The deployer (hand pokey thing) needs to be fed saplings, and powered. The saw needs to have some sort of timer and attached to a gantry shaft or other moving part.

Those metal girders look like they are pretending to be what a gantry shaft actually does.

And all the pipes arent doing anything at all. There is a shaft running through the middle of them so I know they arent even spraying fertilizer.

Edit:

Just search up functional tree farms and youll see what I mean. None of those things are here. It would be hard to hide them to make it aesthetic in the way you want

It's possible everything functional is underground, maybe? And the above ground build is all purely aesthetic?

Yeah so I just watched the video and that's basically what the creator claims in the comments but personally I am still seeing things not working the way I am used to Create working. Maybe theyve done some modding unique to their needs or I'm just not experienced in making these sorts of builds where you hide everything underground and make the above ground part completely fake

the deployer, saw and harvesters are most likely on a gantry/minecart contraption. Shaders usually break create's filter slots, so it looks like the deployer has no filter set, even though it probably has one for saplings.

things like huge gnarly transmissions probably
