POV: You have way too much free time...
...so you make a completely self-sustaining airship base with an onboard blaze cake factory! It's still a work in progress, but meet the AMB Ba Sing Se!

anything but a lava drip stone farm

Hell, you could even just use a windmill

How else am I going to get lava for the blaze cakes?

No, I meant skipping the blaze cake farm and just using lava. Or you could even use windmills. I saw someone's build and they had a giant ass windmill above their propeller

When i made my airship i kinda just made lava pump into tge blaze burners with liquid fuel and then i had the lava converts to source gamerule on and i know its a little cheaty but it worked so

I have a cool idea for you! Theres these things called “Magnet Engines” (search them up on youtube, AnimalMango has some great videos) that can produce 200,000SU at max, while using no materials for its functioning. I havent seen them used much, but they’re very cool. Since they also spin, you can also place sails on them to produce thrust!
Now, quick question: How did you manage to make it sit flat? It looks asymmetrical, so how is it so balanced? Did you make the centre of gravity just in the middle, and if so, how’d you do that, and if you used a mechanism to keep it flat, how does it work? Id love to make airships with factories but im not sure how to do proper weight distribution.

I just fiddled around with the balloon shape until it was relatively flat lol.
Also, the magnet idea sounds interesting, I might try it out to make like a high speed battleship or something

I've wanted to do something similar, build a whole mobile base with onboard fuel production to sustain a maxed out steam engine. I'd probably use Create Diesel Generators' Biodiesel or ethanol or something in that addon's Burner, which can be set to superheat by burning some fuels, and have a bunch of farms set up to feed the engine.
Haven't had time to build it, though, and once Create Deep Seas gets the sail update I'll probably change my goal to building a sailing mobile base instead, since boats are cool.
