Challenge Denied :(

[Staxed]

So, I was bored...so I thought...OHH!!! NEW CHALLENGE!!! "I'm going to collect a DSU full of Octuple compressed cobblestone!"

Well, I got out excel and started calculations. With 1 million igneous extruders, it would take 5,460.01 years to do it...guess I'll work on something else...

 

[Whovian]

Yea, exponential growth's a (censored,) isn't it?

 

[Gimply Goose]

Your wasting time! If you started on the project instead of writing this post it could have been done in 5460.00725 years!

Maybe don't use "Passive" collection, but rather "Active". Don't think about how many Extruders you'll need, think how many quarries and how big, or how fast you can can mine with a Stonebound TiC Hammer with the electric modifier and 1 durability.

Even that probably won't work, the cost of n-compressed cobblestone grows exponentially. Thus octuple-compressed cobblestone is freaking EXPENSIVE. To get a full DSU of it is a mind-bogglingly huge amount of Cobble. Producing it in a reasonable time frame requires probably something along the lines of a trillion Igneous Extruders' production rate on average, which, needless to say, is much more than a processor on anything short of a quantum computer can handle.

Just use some kind of fully-automated quarry to rape the earth to get materials from it, and those materials should go to making even more extruders. It will accelerate in its production, getting more and more and more. Also, if you can spend cobblestone also on making igneous extruders in some way, maybe with a minium stone, that would help them increase greatly.

I think that this is possible, please, just try it!

Maybe it could be done with one of the Equivalent Exchange-y mods out there. I think there is one that adds an energy collector. It might make more sense to task those igneous exstruders to making scrap at a stupidly crazy speed and feed it into a high powered mass fab. Autocraft the uu into diamonds and target cobblestone.

flat cobble block mystraft age and make the biggest mffs quarry possible, might knock a year or 2 off

with this challenge in mind, are you going for Uber Hoarder title?

I'll have to look at some of those options, however...I don't think it's going to help much...here is how many cobblestone is required to fill a DSU with octuple compressed.

86,093,442,000,000,000
86 Quintillion cobblestone...

Producing 1 million cobblestone per second (2 mill extruders)...would take 2730 years. Even trying to use something other than extruders would require the computing power of a supercomputer to handle it most likely. I think I am still going to try though, it'll at least make a fun journal type thread in the community showcase

This should be fun! Hopefully I don't lag out my server trying to do this, everyone might get mad at me

This challenge should be how much can you get, not can you get X. This should be fun

 

[Exedra]

Indeed

Passive is a lot faster than active in this case...I can easily setup many more extruders in the time it would take to setup a maxed sized quarry...and those extruders would also easily beat the speed of production that a fully powered quarry would take.

Extruders also remove the need for power.[DOUBLEPOST=1380292185][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yup, this is pretty much what I've turned it into now

Going to start when I get home

I think what I'm going to do is start with normal cobble into a dsu, once that is full, I'll start on compressed, then double compresses...etc...since 1 dsu of octuble is impossible, why not try for all 9 types of cobble! lol

it might be just me, but building penises out of dirt seems more exciting than that.

to each their own, i don't find that sort of thing exciting at all

I prefer to use pink wool, more authentic.

And rockwool, so they're hard

well, atleast you'd know what you'd be doing the next 5,460.01 years

Self-replicating turtle army crafting extruders and adding them to your storage collection?

Can you do this on single player please, not on volition? I have a feeling your server won't survive this attempt

I actually might do it in single player, I'm actually thinking about starting up a stream/let's play with unhinged...might just throw this on that world.
