Steve's factory and bedrockium

[Psychicash]

So I've reached a point with the Steve that the cobble gen is running faster than the factory manager can compress it. How do you go about compressing cobble?

Any methods that can keep up?

Cyclic assemblers work good, I have heard something about the enderio crafters but havent used them my self

RFTools has a crafter that, if upgraded, can hold multiple recipes. It works quickly, and it has an internal inventory that it can craft from, making it ideal for cobble compression.

Set the input on the Factory Manager to a cobble whitelist, then specify amount. Impossible for it not to keep up...

For best efficiency use 3 separate Item Transfer Nodes with 3 stacks of World Interaction Upgrades each(and speed upgrades as needed) and set the Factory Manager to import 9 stacks of cobble at a time(576), you'll craft a stack of compressed cobble every second.

Only do this if you hate your server

the only cause I can see that SFM can't keep up with compressing is when the chest you use to do store all the (compressed) cobble in gets too full that the manager can no longer output the compressed cobblestone into it.
so either use an inventory big enough to handle all the cobblestone, or find a way to only keep a certain amount of cobble into the chest

Amen. 3 cyclic assemblers compressing cobblestone at full bore comes dangerously close to consuming 20ms of game loop all by themselves. SFM running even faster on the exact same machine takes 23 microseconds.

The one and only time I tried to make an octocobble generator using cyclic assemblers, I ended up with 128 of them running in a pretty confined space.

That world got corrupted quite soon after.

I've always wondered if the two were related somehow...

I use barrels with at least one space update. However this isn't a problem since it never really gets over ten.

Someone may want to warn direwolf. He just set up cyclic assemblers for this purpose. Lol
