how does Cobbleworks' generation compare to RotaryCraft (and its add-ons)? I remember RotaryCraft being very, very fast at making cobblestone..not in this pack, no, and a bit off topic, but curious.https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/2tvtk2/extra_utilities_fastest_combination_for_cobble
I've done compressed cobble setups many many times. To get any throughput, you'll need multiple transfer nodes feeding
your crafter one distance away from it. So, 4 sides, 4 transfer nodes, with full world interaction stacks + 1 speed stack and maybe a single stack upgrade as well. Sometimes you have to just add on to that in batches and be very very creative.
As far as helpers go, EnderIO addons cobbleworks is very very fast (not in this pack I don't think).
For crafters, Rftools crafter tier 3 can handle the whole thing. Another good crafter is Magneticraft crafter (you can stack them on top of each other for a cobble tower setup quite nicely). I'd stay away from using EIO crafters as they cannot keep up whatsoever even with octadic.
The hardest part is the lower tiers of compressed cobble really, so that is where you need to multiply your inputs if you're impatient. I've done quite fast setups using a multi bspaced barrel that holds triple and had multiple quad setups making compressed up to that barrel and then had one setup taking the triple and compressing it the rest of the way.
In project ozone, 2 cobbleworks at the bottom of a cobble tower from magneticraft made me an octuple every 5-10 minutes.
As for the other bits, that's interesting
