Only just started playing minecraft last week for the first time and tried this mod on someones suggestion, I'm totally addicted! Was wondering if it was possible to easily automate getting ingots/blocks out of the smeltery however? Doing some googling it seems this is possible with vanilla with huge convoluted redstone circuits but I figured maybe something a bit easier was included in the mod pack. Would be great to not have to stand there clicking whilst smelting ingots.
Dissertation incoming:
Best method I have found for MASS processing… (large qty of ores)
1)
Emerald Fluid pipe coming out of drain to a
basin (over a hopper) with a wooden engine (already running) and a lever
2) Hopper aimed at the control box of the smeltry
3) Put quantities of ore in the hopper that are multiples of 9 (63 is my default)
4) do not mix ore types
The challenge is that the wooden pipe sometimes loses a small amount of fluids because of the flow restriction and you end up with inconsistent results.
For lots of loose or low quantity… Similar setup only swap out the basin for the casting table and an ingot cast…
In this case tossing different materials in the hopper is more common, but you still need to be aware of which materials mix and might leave a partial ingot.
Problem here is there is a higher chance for a mis-pour that then locks up the process (aka more babysitting)
