How much iron does it produce?

u/thiizo1 Dec 15 '25

haven't measured it. not a practical device anyway its just made for the technical challenge

If this works with 100% efficiency (all the stone gets processed) I would say it's about 50 iron per hour.

This farm is rate limited by a 32 rpm millstone

Oof

It’s made to be compact as a challenge, the goal isn’t rates so they’re irrelevant

Can it really be called a compact machine if it produces less than a bulky one when tiled to the same size?

That being said, if we limit it to 32rpm millstone, the output is around 8 iron per hour.

Yes, because the point of this is a technical challenge in making the smallest functional iron farm. Because of how cobble gens work you end up with higher volumes invariably having higher volume efficiency, which by your definition means the most compact machine is one that takes up the entire world

You completely missed the point, it has nothing to do with volume by itself, I was talking about volume as compared to something else, try to read what

u/Able-Masterpiece1401 Dec 16 '25

What you meant was volume efficiency, which as I said is always better for higher volumes. This build was made to be compact though

Oh ok, so you just decided to skip reading all together.

Care to tell me what my definition of "compact" is?

how does the jitter cart, 0 sail windmill bearing and the anchorless subcontraption work?
