Friend and I started a new Unleashed world a week ish ago. We decided to build into a mountain this time ... Lots of pics
The mountain
Through the hole in the middle there's a natural greeny/lake area we put Steve's Carts in. Across is mob farms (top to bottom: Skeletons (MFR auto spawner), Slimes (MFR auto spawner), Blazes (T5 SS).. top 2 turned off at the moment)
Below there there's a couple breeding pens for cows and sheep. We should probably automate them.
Behind that we have a couple ugly platforms. The 2 platforms and the building at ground level need to be demolished sometime. We started there but then moved downwards after we got a good amount of mats.
Slightly to the right you might see some liquid peeking out. That's our tank room. Currently 2 floors.
An extra pic if you're curious about any wiring logistics here. The computer reports data about the tanks (more info in the last pics.)
To the left and down (where a bridge across the lake is) is where we have farms setup. Pretty modest setup right now: 3 MFR tree farms (oak, force, rubber), along with 2 other MFR farms (wheat and reeds). There's more room below this floor for farm expansion at some point.
Main base lobby: through the double iron doors or the staircase (first pic).
Our modest REC array is in the back (should probably be moved at some point too..) Engines feed into the cells, and the entire base pulls power from the cells. It serves both as a buffer and as a method of using significantly more energy than we actually generate.
The gray wires are networking cables. They're all connected to a computer (hidden) that reports stats (much like the computer in the tank room). More info in the last pics.
Inside the power generation room. Each lane of engines is independently controlled by a controller that enables them when the power is needed. The steam engines are always running.
Front to back: Hobbyist steam engines (powered by blaze rods), Force Engines, and Magmatic Engines.
Right now there's only around 10-15 engines per lane. It's very easily expanded for when we want to add more.
From the main lobby there was a room going to the left. It goes to our lava generation room.
No netherrack so no lava being generated. Should probably setup a quarry sometime to get large amounts. The half-assed ceiling should be fixed sometime too
To the right of the main lobby: hallway with a bunch of misc machines. Some are automated, some not.
The machines. Far left to right:
- 2 carpenters: 1 creosote oil; 1 water
- 2 squeezers: force generation
- 2 magma crucible + liquid transposer sets: 1 redstone; 1 ender pearls. These are automated with the AE auto crafter and so don't really need to be manually used much.
- 1 induction smelter
- 1 saw mill
All of them (exception carpenters) do feed the output into the AE system.
In a small room off the hallway we have an assembly room. An ender chest is hidden under the table to feed output back into the AE system.
Lastly, the
command center which is our most important room.
It contains all of our batch processing power and anything used to monitor. That includes
50 pulverizers and
50 powered furnaces.
Monitors (left to right):
- Applied Energistics: displays items that have recently been inserted or taken out.
- Liquid Monitor: displays all of our liquid tanks, how full they are, and how fast liquid is being drained or added to them.
- Energy Monitor: displays our energy capacity. The capacity is in MJ, so we have 26 total Redstone Energy Cells (600k each). There is a controller close to the energy cells that controls the engines, so if the stored energy gets below certain thresholds it will start activating engines automatically (for example - at 80% 2 lanes of magmatic engines and 1 lane of force engines would be running.) The steam engines are constantly running as they are very cheap to run and have to heat up.
The white AE console (and right ME drive) is a subnet for the pulverizers/furnaces. We don't automatically smelt/pulverize every ore we get so we just dump items we want processed into that subnet. Any blue ME consoles are connected to the main network. The ME drives filled with storage cells (16k, btw) are also on the main network.
We haven't even started bees or thaumcraft yet.. so hopefully we can get those started as well for something more interesting
