Furnaces have become even more valuable in helping me explore a cave if I don't yet have enough torches. It does feel kinda exploity though so I've only actually used it the first time after I had the idea.

Seed: england (large biomes) You'll spawn in a taiga biome, but to the North-West it joins up with a desert and a plains biome (village included). Somewhere adjoining the northern edge of the taiga biome is a jungle with a temple. A stronghold is quite close (within a few 100 blocks). And apparently...

When creating Elements in the Stewing Pot using String as one of the ingredients, Wool is the prioritised outcome over Elements.

To make elements using string as opposed to hemp fibres, you have to manually insert the string 3 at a time so that wool is not produced instead.

Wow, just wow! If only there was a way you could take us on a guided tour of your chambers, that would make a very good thing to watch indeed.

Thanks for the insights. I was finding it occasionally doing something slightly different from 'normal' too. I slowed the timing turntable down to half the speed which seems to have increased the reliability - perhaps because the timings aren't so finely tuned any more. Anyway, this means that my tu...

Apologies for another post so soon after the last, but I think I've possibly found the game mechanic that's creating the effect shown in the OP's picture. When the piston is pushing the clay at a certain offset (either only on even tick offsets or odd - not sure which, but it's one or the other) fro...

Well, it seems that de-powering the turntables all at the same time has no effect on the exact tick that they 'turn'. Also, having all turntables with the same number of gearboxes from the power source doesn't seem to lend itself to having clay pushed over it very well (no matter which relative tick...

I was beginning to wonder that myself, too. It seems a rather fiddly thing to overcome but I'm sure many must have found a way already?

*looks hopefully at the BTW experts, be they lurkers or not*

Why oh why does this happen? (and please go easy on the scolding if the answer is obvious) http://i.imgur.com/9uM7n.png The clay blocks are being pushed from right to left, yet they don't seem to be spun evenly. The row of gear boxes just under the turn tables are all turned on at the same time (fro...

I've posted this before in the useful builds thread but this is my design you might want to have a look at: http://i.imgur.com/tN3XG.png EDIT: It's a 3 long tilable design, shouldn't be too hard to work it out but just one note, the emerald block need direct power rather than indirect power. I actu...

[...] Specifically the 2nd item bit [...] When the torch behind the dispenser is on, it is 'half-powering' the dispenser. This makes it detect redstone updates in the surrounding blocks (a bit like the piston BUD switches) and dispenses an item each time this happens. So for the 2-item output, it d...

This might be a bit late for your use (if you've already built the relevant mechanisms) but this is how I dispense 1-8 items at once:



EDIT: For the upcoming button length changes (in the new snapshots), you just need to send a minimum 8-tick pulse to the top block.

Well, I managed to achieve part of what I wanted but not quite all. Didn't upload earlier because of Christmas happening. Turns out just putting ice under the water flow magically and consistently increases the items' momentum enough to make it always hit the far wall and whatever object you've plac...

-Added the ability for the Block Dispenser to pick up the following block types without altering them: dirt with grass, book shelves, coal ore, lapis ore, diamond ore, redstone ore, giant mushroom blocks and Mycelium. This should allow it to function similarly to tools with the silk touch enchantme...

Thanks for the links & suggestions. I've also thought of a more consistent way to feed items into the multiplexed water flow (feels weird calling it that). I'll have a play, and get back to you with my findings. :) I'm also investigating a way of being able to turn corners with this system (if i...

When testing out normal dispensers in place of block dispensers in the op's design, it seems their shots tend more to the sides than with the BD. Not confirmed with enough test runs yet, though. If this helps reduce the number of items flowing down the middle of the stream, perhaps it would be feasi...

Use saws sideways on, in place of sidings. Items will still fall through (or should do, at least) but I don't think chickens will.

Nice design has given me lots of ideas. like having two types of item run down a single stream just on different side. You can do more than just two. I think you should be able to send 8 different item types down a stream and still be able to separate them all at the other end. However, two of the ...

Rather than continue to derail a suggestion topic, I've moved my findings to here. I understand that an item stream (a water stream with multiples of the same item floating in it) can be split by alternating the directional flow of water in a timed pattern. I felt this was a slightly over-engineere...

Nice design has given me lots of ideas. like having two types of item run down a single stream just on different side. ...and that's actually given me an idea too! I think you should be able to send at least 7 (on the last count) different items down the same water stream and still be able to extra...

Apologies for reviving this thread after it appeared to come to a natural conclusion, but I finally had time to test an idea sparked by reading it. I understand that an item stream (a water stream with multiples of the same item floating in it) can be split by alternating the directional flow of wat...

Just a thought - and sorry for including a criticism in my very first post - but I think there's a word wrong in the BTWconfig file.
