A minor update in few pictures, but with big meaning and time investment!
Not bad. Close to 5 GJ! On a sadder note, it's a shame that the saplings that my Forestry tree farm is making (Forestry's birch trees ; different from Vanilla trees) aren't compatible with the Fermenter. Oh well
So... this is the legendary Creeper Jockey. To be honest, doesn't seem that intimidating in bat form! And highly protective armor, of course!
102 diamonds and 12k iron. All I can say is, for a work of five boring machines, I'm impressed!
Okay, don't panic! Please!
This is my "rail station" of some sorts for the oil I'll eventually start pumping. The tank carts will be coming from the hole in the very left of the picture (barely observable). There are three "input slots" for the three tank carts I'll have constantly fetching oil. When the carts come into the station, they'll hit a detector track which uses normal Minecraft logic (don't worry guys! Carts are coming in towards the west
) to close the tracks when one has entered. I might have to put the detector rail back a bit, but I'll be plonking the carts down in a good 30-60 second interval in order to prevent two carts from entering an input slot. I created a memory cell in order to preserve the state of the track junctions. Then, once the carts have deposited all their oil, the Holding Track will send them on their way. The final detector track resets the memory gate to the "original" state, leaving the input cell ready to accept a tank cart again. This system can only handle three tank carts for now, however, but input slots can be daisy-chained, so it should be good. I'm currently calling this a day. Next time I'll see about getting the other station completed ;D.
EDIT : Oh, almost forgot. I am too lazy to mess with how the carts will enter back into the rail, so I simply made a mini-leap-of-faith (now that I think about it, it might not work...). The leap of faith ends in a line of boosters, so it should be good.
