Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

[ApSciLiara]

yeah but ti works.

Gravel is really meh unless you have a good texture replacement for it.

Maybe when the cermarics get updated in Factorization you can mold some nice zen rocks.

Holy frak I'd completely forgotten about ceramics and sculptures. I'll definitely have to try them out sometime, thanks!

In memory of the awesome base two of my players made in the twilight, I present to you the abandoned twilight base.

They are building two separate base in the overworld with more awesomeness, though I will need to kindly ask them to turn off the force field before burning me down.

 

[plzent3r]

Okay first thing to note is that this is a HUGE work in progress still, and there will be updates to come in the future I assure you. That being said, this is my current base (as well as a few pics of my old one)

Let me know if you want pictures or details/explanation of anything else.

Everytime I read this thread I want to move.

Darn it.

Let me get my airship slightly looking good and I'll start taking screenshots for you guys

 

[plzent3r]

Tech I've moved at least 4 times now. This thread is a base killer for me!

 

[Technician]

Well, I'm gonna start playing on server soon, meaning I can easily make a good looking thing there.

But my current house was build after I showed some family my underground base and they were like "YOU NEED A BATHROOM! YOU NEED A LIVING ROOM! YOU NEED A BEDROOM!" So I might even redo the current house I'm in.

I'm also working on a Airship (Not a frame one.) I want it to have my Steam Boilers on it. (Because Airships are rather steampunk.)

Also I have no way to obtain metric tons of wool so I probably will have to make the balloon later.

You guys will see how bad I am at good looking bases soon.

Actually I'll go work on it right now. Or maybe laer.

Basic Airship, first you see how much I drained my wand for really no point (And I can show off some of my inventory , then you see some more of the ship then, you see a closeup of the arcane wood block.

Tell me if the wood blocks look good with cherry/larch.

Originally it was gonna be pure spruce so

Need wool? How about a turtle shearing factory? Or a HUGE flax farm with fabricators/packagers turning the string into wool?

nice scale, aerial shot looks boss. I like the reed farm and good call on going all boilers, might have a go at that myself next world.

If you're playing on Ultimate a MFR farm will give you string for days, which as plzent3r noted can be crafted 2x2 for wool blocks. Or coral a few sheep and use a MFR rancher and collect wool that way.

Well the boilers are just there to provide power for my biofuel production. Like upkeep power. All of my 'usage' power is going to be generated with combustion engines using biofuel. Either that or a LOT of 36HP boilers running biofuel as well. But they will consume the biofuel even when I'm not using it, whereas the engines will not. That is why I am using the biofuel directly in engines instead of fueling boilers with it. I also need to work on bee power...

EDIT - good call southernfried, didn't even think of MFR. I'm trying to set up a mob grinder using it but I can't quite understand the whole mob essence thing. Maybe help me out?

 

[Technician]

I could probably help you but I've never used MFR I just read a lot about it.

My airship is even more done, and I installed the 36HP boiler. I'm unsure how many industrial steam engines I will need.

 

[southernfriedbb]

...good call southernfried, didn't even think of MFR. I'm trying to set up a mob grinder using it but I can't quite understand the whole mob essence thing. Maybe help me out?

Sure, My current set-up has 2 tier 5 (zombie/skele) shards that drop onto conveyor belts, which carry the mobs into a 5x5 kill room with the grinder centered on one wall (I believe all of the mob blocks affect a 5x5 area). the grinder requires power(quite a bit actually, still trying to work this part out, because it can't keep up with the shards for long.) a chest (it doesn't seem to output directly to a pipe, but will spit it out on the ground) for mob drops and a liquid pipe for the mob essence(essentially liquid xp). pipe it into a tank and save it for later, It can be used with the auto spawner and auto enchanter. the auto-spawner is pretty sweet and can be used to spawn any mob captured in a safari net. (as a side note, the safari net is sweet as heck for moving mobs). I haven't used the auto enchanter yet, but it is on the to-do list. You can also use the grinder on friendly mobs, like cows and sheep.

Power Switch/Skele Spawner(with Conveyors!)

Grinder/output chest/liquiduct:

Serious Back up

Spoiler

Here are some shots of the cow farm, That I use to generate sewage(fertilizer for the farms, as well as a small amount of mob essence)

Breeder Pen:
The breeder(MFR Machine) takes wheat and auto breeds animals.

Spoiler

Baby pen:
I then use a chronotyper to move the babies to a separate pen.

Spoiler

Cow Grinder:
Then when they grow up another cronotyper moves them to the death conveyor.

If you have any questions just let me know.

Thanks for the help! Ahh Tech, you said 36HP? each HP boiler block produces 20 steam per tick, so you could run 18 industrial steam engines, 36 commercial ones, or 72 hobbyist. Dont quote me on that last number. I also recommend trying out the steam oven. It wont constantly use steam, only when it needs it, but cooks 9 items at a time and looks awesome! I love mine.[DOUBLEPOST=1365458892][/DOUBLEPOST]Southernfried what is the machine below the cows in the first pen?

 

[southernfriedbb]

The one to the left is a chronotyper, it pulls the baby's out of the breeder pen. there is also a machine on lower portion of the screen obscured by cows and the UI, that is a breeder, insert wheat, get babies. The grid below the cows is a sewage collector which is piped into a tank and then to a composter to create fertilizer for the MFR farms.

EDIT: grammar

 

[Technician]

Wait 36 boiler is when you use 36 boiler blocks and should I make more boiler blocks?

I love the way you took so many pictures, very detailed.
And it's a nice base!

Wait 36 boiler is when you use 36 boiler blocks and should I make more boiler blocks?

a 36HP boiler would be a boiler consisting of the following; 9 solid or liquid fueled fireboxes and 36 high pressure boiler blocks. 36 is the maximum amount of boiler blocks that can be put together in 1 boiler. Each block of high pressure boilers creates 20 steam per tick whereas each low pressure block makes 10. So with a max size boiler constructed out of high pressure blocks, you would be generating 720 steam a tick. Likewise, a max size low pressure boiler will generate 360 steam per tick. Let me know if you need help with boilers or steam or anything of the sort - I've used them many a time at this point.[DOUBLEPOST=1365464032][/DOUBLEPOST]Thanks for the info southernfried, I think I might set up some MFR stuff soon. Looks like a really cool mod.

Okay, so 36HP boiler is the max?

 

[fergcraft]

well as per seeing all these awsome builds i thought i would show my slow attempt at a base

the outside of my base was a rounded hole thought it would make an interesting base

the top layer of my base i still need to mine alot more marble

my magical and thaumcraft area its taking a while to do the floor because i haven't found a nether fortress so i have to compress the nether rack int nether brick

the lower entrance from the central tower

my train and minecart crafting area

my ic2 machine area

my future storage area

and my current living hole
