Cobble collection

[Colensocon1]

So i posted a thing on how to get cobble and i got a few responses mostly saying use igneous extruders and if you don't already know I'm trying to collect 1 Billion Cobblestone yea thats right 1,000,000,000 Cobblestone currently on 2 Million I'm storing it in AE Network i have plenty of space in the network and heres my setup of making cobblestone btw this is all legit
Here is where its stored plus all my other stuff (ALL 64KS)

This is where most is made

So in total i have 256 igneous extruders and I'm making more if i wanna reach my goal then its gonna take time




So what do you guys think and you got any better ways of getting cobble also dose the igneous extruder make 1 cobble per second? Also my next goal will to be able to get 24 fusion reactors the GT Ones currently digging out a 64x64x64 area for it all anyways 1 Billion cobble hear i come!

If you're not limited on the server I would suggest turtles. I would build up to about 128(All need to be chunk loading turtles so yeah...) mining turtles.


http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/just-another-turtle-mining-program.16062/

I would suggest using that program with several tree farms making charcoals or 3-4 tier 5 blaze/wither shards.

Make them dig up to ~65 and they'll get 90% of the blocks(As in from bedrock to surface 90% of the blocks). From personal experience using around 45 of them on a server net us around 8 million excess cobble in about a week.

Or you know, save some electricity bills, unnecessary heat generation (in real life) and just spawn 2 billion cobble through the console. It's not like you'll be able to grief anyone with it in any short amount of time. Lol. You'd just get to make a museum out of it and say you have it. Completely harmless.

Short answer: use more igneous extruders.
Long answer: use A LOT more igneous extruders and maybe a few too many quarries.
Bonus answer: please store all that in MFR DSUs.

Yea I guess but currently I'm getting like 2million a day

Here we go current amount : 983,000,000 Cobblestone to go!

You seriously should try to fill up a DSU. It's 2billion, but you're going there anyway. You'd be the first.

You should try converting all of the dirt/gravel into cobble via minium stones. You'd need a fairly large farm set up, and it probably won't be worth it, but every stack counts, right?

Also, to those telling him to just spawn the stuff in, where's the fun in that? Sheesh.

Here's a challenge - get all the cobble before FTB 1.6.x pack is officially released.

If you wanted to "cheat", turn the cobble into cobble slabs. That'll double what you have stored.

 

[Daemonblue]

Weak and amateur, you must fill a DSU with octuple compressed cobblestone! Look, 30 million more cobble for your first octuple!

I wrote a script for this script:
http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/just-another-turtle-mining-program.16062/

My script simply places the turtles, fills them with the stuff needed (enderchests) and gives every turtle the program. After that it starts the turtle and places the next.
If it runs out of materials, it simply places an enderchest and pulls out whatever is in there (you will need 3 enderchests; 1 for the turtles, 1 for the coal Chests and 1 for the dump chests).
If it has no more turtles to place and the turtle chest is empty, it waits until you supply more.

Using that, we placed around 700 turtles without doing anything (early endgame). So, if you are interested, I will start a Thread for that, to explain the whole setup.

I started a thread for this. You can have a look here:

Any updates on progress?

I can't believe you're using 256 interfaces instead of 2-3 routers.

It's like watching somebody eat Jello with a butter knife.

yup, routers would have been far more efficient in this situations, as you only need a few of them instead of many many interfaces. and don't forget that almost every component in an AE system uses power, so the power cost to use all those interfaces will be quite high aswell

I'm currently in the process of filling a DSU with Octuple Compressed....it's gonna take a while...though, I haven't started yet...it's on my todo list .

Though, I'm just planning on using transport pipes to route everything into an enderchest that is importing into my ae system.

You do realise this requires 86,093,442,000,000,000 cobblestone? Even with EE2 that would take forever.

correct, with 1 million extruders it would take about 2700 years ...it's more to see how far I can get than actually reaching the goal

Assuming you live another 50 years, looks like you'll be 1.8% to your goal when you die. ​

unless he finds a better way what avout using some sorta turtle plus lava plus water generator ?

I fear for the server!!
