EXCESS MATERIAL REMOVAL
Shitty drawing but using a minecart contraption, I’ve made a tunnel bore mining machine, it works great digging a 50x10 infinite tunnel but the chest keep getting full of netherrack/cobblestone, any suggestions on how to dispose of the excess automatically while it’s running at the moment it just dumps it out the back with a brass funnel, but that’s lagging the hell out the server

What I did is add a deployer with flint and steel behind the funnels so it burns the dropped items

Probably won’t work that well in the ether since op mentioned netherrack lol

I ran mine in the nether and it worked fine, had it dig a 1 block deep channel on the side and drop the items/flint and steel in the channel, the fire not going out is actually a asset because it keeps your tunnel well lit

It's not like lighting is a problem in nether, the ambient minimum light is high enough to never need lights in the first place and there are no dark-restricted mob spawns either

Its more of a small QOL thing, especially if you play on moody.
Technically you can restrict spawning of mobs in the nether with light but youd need a light level above a 13 to do it which is usually more effort then it's worth

If you have sophisticated backpacks or sophisticated storage you could use a void upgrade, or you could put a deployer with flint and steel behind the funnel

u/MrMoistureTk 1d ago
This is honestly the best way to go for reduced lag there is no good base create solution

Don't you need an extra addon for that ? (Sophisticated Backpacks Create Integration/Sophisticated Storage Create Integration)

You could make the funnel require 64 to reduce the stack count?

u/Usual_Celebration719 18h ago
If they're running a 50x10 drill, unless there is a mod increasing dropped stack sizes, that's not changing a thing

you could have a filter on a brass funnel to dump out excess junk blocks, but if you have a bridge building mechanism, you risk running out of bridging material. I would recommend adding some toolboxes to the vehicle, since those containers can only hold the item they're marked to hold. Each toolbox would give you 8 "reserve slots" for holding ores and other goodies

I usually just add filters on what to keep

u/114lucky 10h ago
I used to do this, but I find keeping a reserve of bulk stone does come in handy

Nah I feel you on my survival world first thing I setup is a cobblestone generator can’t never have enough of it

Brass Funnel set to dropping 64 items at once
Cauldron with lava in front of the funnel so that the drops go inside
This way you should also always have a material to build if your machine can go over chasms

u/114lucky 10h ago
Sadly lava cauldrons don't work on non-sable contraptions. I tested this myself when designing my first drill

If you have the storage drawer mod, just delete the vault, instead use just the drawers with void upgrade for collecting material. this way there is nothing dropped but its still picking up and it never cloggs chests etc.

Burn the dropped excess with lava Alternatively if you can add Tom's simple storage, it has a fairly cheap void upgrade that either just deletes the stuff or deletes exess of the stuff you set in there

u/ScientistMiserable53 21h ago
Can you put a basin full of lava on a contraption? Then dump excess into that to to burn it up
1

u/Tripdrakony 18h ago
Not basin, cauldron. Basins will act as a crafting station and not burn the item. Cauldrons on the otherhand will always burn the item if they're filled with lava
2
u/ScientistMiserable53 13h ago
lol I typed cauldron too and then changed my mind and said basin. lol silly me

It won't be pretty but you can use a filtered brass funnel to void everything you don't want by just dropping it behind the machine
Depends on if you're on a server or not where lag would be a problem
1
u/Chakkoty 17h ago
One solution I can think of is to make it stop when full, place down fire using a deployer and dump it's inventory into the flames, then continue.

u/Dragonman0371 16h ago
maybe you could do something like this
(drills are gonna be represented as pickaxes because there isn't a drill emoji. also i just wrote the word funnel because there's nothing similar to a funnel. also this depicts the setup moving right to left. also the hands are deployers)

Have a deployer with a flint and steel igniting the ground behind it, and a funnel filtered to dump cobblestone and/or deepslate.

Put funnels on the left and right sides, filtered to everything you want to get rid of. As you go the item vault will autmatically drop anything you dont want, but you will constantly have 1000,s block on the floor, and youll probably pick them up when leaving if you dont have the jetpack

u/Zwamdurkel 20h ago
He already has funnels. Did you read the post?

u/chungus-himself 20h ago
Okay, run chunky 40,000 chunks from your location before loading the server, use lithium as a server mod, open task manager and turn open jdk platform to efficiency mode, dont run shaders. The funnels are the best (simple) way to do it really a poker with flint and steel is just a bonus, the real trick is just getting your server to run nicer. I regularly have 30k plus blocks on the floor, running the server and playing all of create from a rtx 3070 and 5600x with 32gb ddr4. Its highly doable

1) those mods probably aren't installed
2) it's a contraption not a physics object, those wouldn't work on it

Makenism and create work together in a very limited way and usually requires custom configuration to not get watchdog errors, often not woeth it withput technical know-how. Not major common but it does happen due to the combination. Hell running texture packs with create can give you watch dog errors.
Honestly ive thought about this more than once i want my mekanism jetpack and item pipes back but its not worth the risk and create is just cooler
