What am I doing wrong?[(Xycraft tank)Solved]

[NosePicker5555]

Here are some images of what i am dealing with.
For some reason the tank isn't forming.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Well, if the torches and items are inside when you're trying to form it, I don't think it would allow that for one..
Another possibility that got one of the guys on a server I play hung up is the entire cube shape material is counted, not just the faces visible from the inside.
So they had dirt occasionally along the edge blocks of the tank and then it didn't allow it to form.

Those are what I can suggest from your screenshots

Alright i'll try that ina bit. Thanks

I have yet to test this, but I have heard that tanks need to all be made of a single material. I don't see why that should be the case, but if it is, it'd make sense why cobblestone and stone wouldn't work.

That looks like it'll be a sweet tank. Why not go for a full 12x12x12 (that is the max. size, right?), eh?

Gravel Here​

​

​

And check all the outside edges and corners for gravel, dirt, or sand.​

 

[heggico]

Different blocks should not matter, gravel however, like ntwitch just said, does. It will not form with any sand or gravel. Also, I'm not sure if it will form with items on the inside, but you probably placed them to show us the inside right?

your tank has an inner volume of 10x11x6. to make it work, you need 10x10x6 or 11x11x6.

and remove the torches, although they were helpful this time

 

[heggico]

You do not need 10x10 or 11x11, even 1x12 works fine

 

[hotblack desiato]

oh really? good to know. makes things easier

 

[seannyyx]

Sum up

No gravel or sand blocks.
Blocks should be solid
Max is 12x12x12
No items inside

 

[hotblack desiato]

yes, but the inner volume of 11x10x6 makes an outer volume of 13x12x8...

and there is this nasty 13, that is above 12.

 

[Guswut]

As a note, it also does not like ice blocks for some absurd reason, in case anyone ever runs into this.

 

[heggico]

That would have been awesome if you could use ice. Make a tank of ice, fill it with water, melt the ice and you have a water tank containing water

yes, but the inner volume of 11x10x6 makes an outer volume of 13x12x8...

Oh, good point, didn't even see that.

Because they melt (?)

 

[Guswut]

Because they melt (?)

Perhaps. It'd also make sense why gravel and sand cannot be made into tanks (because they fall). What would have made more sense, though, would have been to either make it so that if they melt/fall, the tank is broken, or that the blocks no longer can melt/no longer are affected by gravity. The easier way was likely to just blacklist those blocks, though, and so that's what we've got.

 

[ICanHazCooKie]

It's too big, maximum inner volume is 10*10*10.

 

[NosePicker5555]

Quite a controversy but, I will try it now and get back to y'all.
(I know I removed the torches.)

...[DOUBLEPOST=1363733121][/DOUBLEPOST]Didn't work guys D: I checked the corners ;/

 

[Dravarden]

try replacing all the walls and corners with cobble, see if it works.
