just for fun, you'd have to mine over 3.8 thousands of worlds to get this amount

EDIT: not so sure looking at it now, Java int seems to be a bit larger

Fun fact: While reading, it NEVER crossed my mind that the OP was talking about a real, counted and quantified number of cobblestone. Guess I must be some kind of genius or something. Jeez guys. Really? Got no idea how to get rid of an incredible large number of cobblestone - then stfu and don't open a can of whoopass just because you read a specific word. Move along, find some other thread that looks interesting and where you actually can write a worthwhile reply and spend your time there.

To the OP: Another, albeit complicated method would be to use autocrafting tables and quite a few minium stones to go the Cobblestone > Flint > Clay [>Clayblocks] > Iron > etc. and get rid of the cobble that way. Though this would probably require more minium shards than one usually has lying around. =)

I say use it to build a 1:1 replica of the Walt Disney castle, Hogwarts, or use it to make 1:1 replicas of these castles:

You can use each one for different stuff. One can be a storage castle, energy castle, mystcraft castle, thaumcraft castle, etc...

The guy started walking over 2 years ago on his way to the Far Lands (where Java starts running into its limits and the world gets super-wonky. You can teleport there directly which is why people know what it is like, but he is walking/boating the entire way there. 250 episodes in and he has a VERY long way to go still.[DOUBLEPOST=1369342597][/DOUBLEPOST]

Fun fact: While reading, it NEVER crossed my mind that the OP was talking about a real, counted and quantified number of cobblestone.

It did to me because they OP said it in a manner and with a certainty that you don't use on the internet unless you believe what you are saying. As following posts have shown, the OP did indeed believe the number was correct but the mathematics of it all show the number was definitely incorrect. I would really like to know what the real number is though.

Even the remnent bit of EE3 is too cheaty for me, i MINE my material

i still do have a LOT of the shit, I'll put up pics later, The mining OP is in an endless desert while it is also raining, And meteors fall

This is 1 quadrillion:
1,000,000,000,000,000
Which is this many stacks:
15,625,000,000,000
And this many full 64k ME storage cells:
1,922,367,126

So unless you setup a BUNCH of machines just to auto-manufacture 64k storage cells then there is no way you got your -illions right.

To put it another way. Two 64k storage cells will hold just over 1 million cobble, but it takes 1,923 64k storage cells to hold 1 billion cobble, 1,922,367 to store 1 trillion cobble, and 1,922,367,126 to hold 1 quadrillion. So which do you have closer to..... 2.. 2,000.... 2,000,000, or 2,000,000,000 64k storage units?

Personally I am betting you are at either 2 or 20, or maybe, if you really have been working hard at this, 200 (which is about 100 million cobble).

This is assuming you have the hard drive space. If the world had a quadrillion blocks in it, the region files alone would require on average 100,000 gigs of memory to store.

1 chunk is 65536 blocks, 1 region file is 32x32 chunks, each region file averages 6-7 megs, that's almost 15 million region files.

Even if all the areas are mined out, there is still bedrock and air blocks, so it would still require at least a terabyte of hard drive space that is storing mined out chunks.

Now if you used igneous extruders, that would be different. Let's say you made 512 igneous extruders, each produce 1 cobble every 2 seconds, so 256 cobble a second. That would take you 123,784.276 years to make a quadrillion cobble with 512 igneous extruders.

My frame miner harvests 5,760 blocks a second, I have mined about 500 million cobble. It took a couple weeks running 24/7 to do this. I turned less than half of this into scrapboxes, I have over a million scrapboxes.

I plan on making a machine which automatically opens the scrapboxes, but it turns out that there is a lot of junk items you have to recycle again after opening a scrap box...

Yet you realize he could've easily made a tonne of Igneous Extruders, and mining. Cobble isn't hard to come by

~101 Terabytes of space to store each Region file.
32*32*65536 is how many blocks are stored per file.
That just happens to be 67108864 blocks.
1,000,000,000,000,000/67108864~=~14901161.
That's how many region files.
Multiply that by 7 to get how many megabytes:
14901161*7=104308127 Megabytes.
Divide that by 1024 to get the Gigabytes:
104308127/1024~=~101863 Gigabytes.
101863/1024=99.4755859375 Terabytes.
So you would need a Boss Drive to hold all that.
Of course, this would only work if every single block in each of the chunks contained cobblestone.
Which they do not.

There's a scene in Conan the Destroyer where Malak (the thief) is talking about how he didn't know there were bars keeping them from escaping. Conan starts bending the bars while the Malak and Zula (Grace Jones) argue about the bars. It comes to a head when Malak says, "My brother's sister's cousin never said anything about bars. " Then Zula loses it and says, "What does it matter anyway!"

So...

WHAT DOES IT MATTER ANYWAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?

she thank you very much
anyways, i don't WANT that much stone, i HAVE that much stone, It's a bloody byproduct

Also why are we arguing, I think i just have a bit less then quadrillion, There are a lot of "illion" numbers, But there is one big ass bedrock to sky pit where i'm minin'

 

[fergcraft]

lets just use the term "a crap ton"

I actually mentioned that...

Now if you used igneous extruders, that would be different. Let's say you made 512 igneous extruders, each produce 1 cobble every 2 seconds, so 256 cobble a second. That would take you 123,784.276 years to make a quadrillion cobble with 512 igneous extruders.

It would take over 63 million igneous extruders to get to 1 quadrillion cobble in one year and many more to get it less than a year. I'm positive that many igneous extruders weren't built

We aren't arguing. We are having fun discussing something so ridiculous it is actually genuinely interesting. Not everyone likes that kind of discussion, but some of us love looking at the numbers involved in a concept like this. We are also saying you definitely don't have a quadrillion cobble, but we aren't saying that there is anything wrong with you having said it or continuing to say it. It is all good.

I've thought about this problem, but I don't think I'd scrap most of what comes out of scrap boxes.

The wooden tools, run through the sawmill, become planks for fuel, and sawdust, that becomes charcoal, for fuel.

Netherrack goes into the magma crucible.

Soul sand? Questionable.

Plantballs, into ethanol, or macerate into dirt, and into scrap, or used up in forestry farms.
Dirt, see above. Grass, see above.

The rest is pure treasure, right?

Oh, right cobble.

Honestly? Replacble with extruders, scrap it down, void it, or just leave it on the discs in a chest somewhere.

(the -illion was likely million or billion, and do remember some groups of brits at other times used them differently then the rest of the world.... for who knows what reason)

I'd keep all SoulSand, useful for TC.

(the -illion was likely million or billion, and do remember some groups of brits at other times used them differently then the rest of the world.... for who knows what reason)

The problem is when in your language you use long scale (million -> 10^(6*1), billion 10^(6*2), trillion 10^(6*3) etc, the logical one) and there are translations from English, where translator/journalist translate billion to billion.

I don't care enough to quote and display all the contradictions, I'm just going to say; if you're part of the WIKI TEAM (y'know, precise display of information for referential purposes with 0 tone) then maybe you should....

*edit, I'll finish the thought for you*

Maybe you should indicate you're being hyperbolic when asking a technical question on a technical forum populated largely by powerusers who LOVE handling large questions like this, and / or not get butthurt when you get called out on your numbers...... and then say you were just joking............. but not really.................... it's actually just a sliver below............ but actually it's impossible.............



Also your topic title has atrocious grammar, psyched to see your wiki entrees.
