Mob Transportation via Conveyer Belts

[JuliCash]

Hey Guys,

i want to setup a little modbreeding-are with MFR.
But i have a Problem.

The Mobs have to go a rather long distance via Conveyer Belts. But they kind of resist the Belts. The Move in the other Direction and not get pushed enough

Any Suggestions?

thx

When using conveyors I get the most out of them when I force the enemies into a 1 wide hallway. Even if they try to fight against the conveyor the mobs behind them will make sure they go forward into their eventual doom. So, what you'll want is something that'll get them into such an area efficiently for the conveyors to work.

yeah, i have a 1-wide hallway, the problem is, that i have a breeder-station, which a chronotyper, which sucks the babies out. So usually there is only one mob at a time on the conveyer-belt..

Why don't you just use old fashioned water for the job?

 

[JuliCash]

Hmm i have thought about it, but i like the style with the conveyerbelts much more, i have to say

ill try to find a solution, maybe its only a problem with the babies, as they have an urge to go home to their parents..

if i dont find a proper solution, i will use water i think

You could have them dropping down a block every so often to reduce the distance they go back or you could use minecarts to transport them

and how about an IC2 teleporter constantly supplied with a redstone signal? and the receiver teleporter does not get any energy, so teleporting back is just impossible.

since animal weight is just 100, it's really cheap to teleport them.

EDIT: the alternative, since it is already a breeding age: drop them into a mystcraft portal.

 

[Predatorkillol]

Teleporters I think may be a bit over kill for this. Still a good idea though.

 

[JuliCash]

Wow, a lot of possible Solutions... thank you
i like the idea with dropping them 1 block, but as my area is pretty much layed out already ive come up with a different solution: i just put a chronotyper every so often in the conveyer belt, that will suck the animals, who stuck...

greetings

Stop them from jumping. Make sure no room to jump.

 

[danidas]

If your transporting babies they have a natural tendency to want to return to their mother, which makes them very prone to resist conveyers and water streams. Also note that last I checked baby cows are taller then one block by a small amount for stopping them from jump will be tricky but the other babies should be able to fir into one block tall gaps.

another option would be minecarts instead of the conveyers but that is more space intensive.

hmm, the overly cruelly method: (which does not work as intended due to a bug.. could be considered cheating)

grind the babymobs and pump the mob essence to an auto-spawner (which currently doesn't need mob essence)

grinding a mob gives 100mb of monster essence.

I don't know, how much spawning a mob costs, but if it's the same 100mb, then you are capable of pumping mobs around...

Another method is one I saw used in someone else's video. Have a chronotyper to move the babies into a pen and then another chronotyper to move them after they're fully grown onto a conveyor of death. Of course the other option is to bypass breeding altogether and go with a soul shards spawner and grind the mobs for essence or w/e you want.
