Diamond Generator (Very Cheap)

[midnighttnt]

For this, you will need (minimum):
6 Fabricators (Xycraft)
1 Igneous Extruder (Or a Cobble Gen)
Lots (Minimum 4) of Minium stones or philosopher stones.

Setup:
Place the Fabricators in a line.
Place The Igneous Extruder at one end and set it to output to the fabricator.
Set up the fabricator to use a minium stone to convert it to flint.
Next Fabricator Set it up to turn flint into clay
Next fabricator Clay to clay blocks (No minium stone )
Next Fabricator Clay Blocks to Iron
Next Fabricator Iron to Gold
Next Fabricator Gold to Diamond.

OPTIONAL:

Set it up with a filter to output into a chest.

Easy as that. Video tutorial will be posted at http://www.youtube.com/mrmidnighttnt

CONVERSION RATES:
32 Stacks of Cobble That The Extruders Generate -----> 1 Diamond

Do the minium stones lose durability in a fabricator or not? If not than that's an exploit.

 

[midnighttnt]

Yes, the Minium Stones DO use durability, so if you're in Creative then Philoshopher stones are recommended.
Edit: Testing it in creative, or if you wanna cheat.

 

[Bobbels]

if you're in creative, cheating diamonds in directly is recommended

 

[midnighttnt]

Yes Bobbels, but some people design their worlds first, and then survive. I just like to make my test machines (this) first.
But just so this doesn't get into a huge fight, lets forget I ever said "Philosopher Stones" in relation to creative.
Edit: UNLESS PAHLIMAR MAKES A RECIPIE!!!

Ok Cool

Although a nice idea, you should also make a mobgrinder linked to a sorting system (doesn't have to be a huge one because..) to get as many Minium Shards as possible, making them into a Minium Stone.

Mob grinders won't produce minium shards.

 

[Hydra]

Mob grinders won't produce minium shards.

Indeed. And that's why the big bottleneck here is grinding the shards. It's probably easier to just mine the diamonds.

Okay, mistake recognized xD
Though I thought Sword Turtles or maybe with Guardians (Thaumcraft) could get them?

Sword turtles will generate exp orbs but not minium shards. Haven't tried iron golems.

 

[midnighttnt]

You could use the same design but with wood, its a lot faster, but more expensive. Also, I'm working on a minium shard farm, and I heard that Pahlimar is going to make philosopher stones craftable.
EDIT: Video is now up! For more showcases (Such as a stone brick gen) and more, watch my channel!

And this is why EE3 especially when used with other mods is OP

And about GregTech, I hate the recipe changes... no offense.

It's ight. To each his own

Might want to edit that in the OP

 

[midnighttnt]

Yea I did.

 

[ILoveGregTech]

Also, if my math is correct it is actually 32 stacks
4*4*4*8*4=2048/64=32
