The log entry of upgrades, the High-Oven is helping us out so much that we had no issue upgrading the smeltery at a fast pace. It is now full size, with casting tables and basins on all side, an automated input and is capable of storing around 32 units to smelt down. This allowed us to process some things we had stockpiled up for when we wanted to start Pneumatics.
We worked a lot on the monster trap we wanted to try and make, and discoverd a way to transport monsters true transport belts so we are able to get all monsters in our trap to a central location. This is also going to help a lot to clean out our trenches around the base at some point, although that is more of a long term project. Since we tested everything and knew what we needed to make it happen we build a medium size mob trap that can be expanded if we need to at some point.
Since we wanted to do Pneumatics we also had to expand our base below the ground, we are running out of space outside the ship and inside is already way to cramped with storage solutions. We wasted no time and started working downstairs to hollow out the area still within the boundary’s of trenches we have upstairs. This way we can also connect the trap we build into our build, and automated the collection of loot from that to a storage we might later revise up on. Since we now have a smeltery and high-oven the iron supply stacked true the roof and we had no issue setting up a basic Pneumatic system to get us started. From this we can quickly work our way up and start semi automation on it to get our circuit-boards and other materials.
Our compressors are set up in-line on purpose, connected with redstone that links up to the pressure tube to prevent the system from blowing up due to high pressure. This system was however very waste full because we had to brake our pressure chamber each time we used it in order to get our materials out, and thus loosing pressure each time we made something. We pulled some long hours after this but we managed to get it to a point were we have 2 chambers now for most crafting purposes, and we have automated the in- /output of the chambers so the compressors wont have to run as much. Since making circuit boards manually requires quite a bit of work and time, we also went straight for automating that part, this seriously improves the time we spend on making these things and we dont have to be around while there being processed.
As you can see we also removed the ladder we had, and replaced it with a elevator to reduce our effort in getting up and down all the time. This set up is not going to stay in this location, but at least we can start planning out in more detailed line now, and make more dedicated rooms for each type of system we need to set up. We used our first circuit board to replace our old generators with an ender generator, so our water and cloning system wont run short on power unexpected.
We also wanted to finish the trap, so it could start gathering us some extra goodies, so we ended up spending our extra time on that. Sadly enough we had spend so much time on the Pneumatic system, we had lost most of our concentration on that. Witch resulted in us making a mistake in the final set up and getting killed by a Zombie on a corner from the collection/killing area of the trap …. We are so happy we have set up our cloning devices, because that is the second time the eternal void was calling us, and nearly had his way with our soul. We quickly rounded up the work we had left to do, and finalized the set up to at least work and collect things, we will have to fine tune it later.
Things are really rocking and rolling now, we can not wait to get working on things again, some good power source and resource automation is most likely going to be our next objective. But its also possible we will make a temp set up first and try to go straight for the big stuff, depending on how long that will take us to achieve. For now we need some serious resting after all this hard work, time to eat a PBJ or two and hit the sack asap ….
