EP8: INSANE STEAMPUNK TECH in Minecraft

So far in this mod pack I’m have well built a lot of create things and they’re kind of just out in the open and for good reason I am basically broke in the game yeah I know sad uh but today that might change because I’m going to go

Mining I’m going to mine quite a few resources out of the tunnel that I just created possibly even dive down Into the Depths a little bit further and hopefully by the end of the day we’re going to have ourselves Tom’s storage set up yes you heard me right we’re

Going to be getting into our first actual centralized storage system and this is going to be gamechanging now as I head back down into the mines last episode I made this Tetra pickaxe and as I use it it’s going to level up but it

Is a lot of manual mining I am going to be mining pretty manually but there’s a lot of cool resources that I should be able to gather through this huge area that has been mined out oh boy I also I better I better solve some problems

Here oh there we go got him anyways back to business yes I’m going to be using this silk touch pick to grind out all these resources and thankfully the silk touch pick is going to make this very nice because me getting these raw basic materials can then be crushed down

Giving me a bonus as if we had uh some sort of efficiency and then this even has a resource that it can give us being Redstone which is very necessary especially since uh create is very Redstone hungry oh and on top of that we’re going to be getting these X

Purified ores which are going to help me be able to mine even faster as we continue on however I’m going to have to break these by hand later on now as I’m mining I just got a message saying a part has settled and so as I continue to hone this and use this

More and more my parts that are on this will actually start to get better and better and so it’s kind of a cool little thing that we made last episode this Tetra piic is very very worth setting up so I now am ready to hone this tool I’ve

Also mined out just about every block I I could have I could have mined out of this whole tunnel that we dug out with our Contraption and so now it’s time to go process everything in the processing machine that I set up last episode and I’m pretty excited about that because

This is going to give us a ton of iron even though I made a little iron farm this is going to be a significant amount of iron allowing me to significantly change everything like we will now have tons of iron I can make also tons of

Brass and uh also tons of and aide alloy which is fantastic so I now get to put this to use let’s go ahead and drop this all in I’m going to send all of the iron at first now there’s some things that actually won’t work for example this

Thorium from the create new age doesn’t actually have a recipe in this block form which is kind of funny considering it utilizes create so I’m surprised it doesn’t have a recipe that breaks it down using the crushing Wheels uh maybe that was an oversight but things like

Coal and Redstone all of this should be able to be crushed down um this cannot be crushed down however it can be smelted um which is kind of nice so yes this is going to continue to process up and we are going to start to see tons of

Redstone building up in here iron blocks like just like this and all of this is coming from those ores so now that we have tons of resources flowing in and I now have a ton of clay I probably should clear that out we can now start to take

A look at the Tom’s storage mod so Tom simple storage has a lot of interesting things but it is basically a storage mod you connect a terminal to an inventory and then you can see the items that are inside of the inventory and then if you have a crafting terminal you can

AutoCraft from them or pull crafts into a crafting grid from the storages and then you can connect multiple storages with these inventory cable connectors now in this pack to get started with this we do need Precision mechanisms we’re also need some display links these are all very easy to make make the

Precision mechanisms however they are a little bit more expensive and then also we need sturdy sheets now sturdy sheets requires some lava and also to be pressed a couple of times and need to uh to generate some powdered obsidian which in our case is probably not going to be

Too difficult since we already have the obsidian to be able to do this and the crushing wheels from last episode now I tell you what I cannot wait to get this crafting terminal because up to this point I’ve been doing everything by pulling the items individually out of

The chests and putting them into a regular crafting table and just doing the whole vanilla and this is modded Minecraft after all so it is very nice once we have some sort of manageable inventory and that’s a real big game changer for me now the Precision mechanism automation is actually quite

Simple it’s just three deployers that need to have three different items that are running in uh in line and then we have to worry about the looping Pro uh process that is involved in making this uh so it has to go through five times now you could make a row of these that

Were five long that would require quite a few of these Cog Wheels um and quite a few of the deployers but you don’t actually have to do that um instead one of the best ways to do this is by utilizing this thing called an item

Vault um so the item vault is very very simple um it can basically transfer items from one location to the other very fast like in instantaneously so um in in this particular size and only one by3 you can only span three blocks though uh which is perfect though for

This particular setup so we need to think about this uh right here we’re going to have the items flowing out we’re going to send one sheet at a time gold sheet it’s then going to go through its process but then we need to pick it

Back up and we need to pick it up specifically right here um and so I’m going to convert this to have it going in and this has to be a brass one because we’re going have to filter what is actually being sent into this um now

The output it just can be a regular andesite one just like this and that is going to send it back around so if this is flowing through it’s going to kind of loop through until it is completed once it is completed it is then going to go

Into this particular funnel and uh we can actually extend these by right clicking all of these can be extended to look a lot better um if you if you absolutely want these uh to be extended like that but this this is essentially how this is going to go and um whenever

We get this first started it’s going to automatically work but once we actually get a Precision mechanism that’s when we can utilize these filter slots actually we can set the filter right now if we absolutely want to so I’m going to use a regular list filter and then I’m going

To drag the Precision mechanism in here and on our first one we simply just want it to be a deny list we want the regular ones and we want it to have respect data uh enabled so this should prevent that from going into this container so we might not even need this particular

Funnel to be brass this one does need to be specifically brassed it’s going to be the first thing it interacts with and it should continue the loop now I just got to get power to this now I don’t know if this is 100% correct but what I have

Here is some encase chain drives and then encase chain drives running down and I’m going to tap into this and then we’re going to find out if the bottom down here is going to be spinning in the appropriate Direction and it is perfect so as soon as we connect this there we

Go we now have a Precision mechanism uh set up ready to go we just got to put some gold sheets in here and also the cogs and buttons I believe oh not not uh not buttons actually iron nuggets yeah that’s right let’s go ahead and get this

Set up I have the Cog Wheels the large Cog wheels and the Nuggets I’m going to put these in with Hoppers and I’ve just got 32 of each sort of made up and then I just need to put the sheets in and that should go in and start producing as

You can see it’s looping through and because we have the respect data applied this is going to make sure that it doesn’t send unless it is the completed one and there we go we now have a completed one if it also Breaks by the way the Salvage will end up going in

Here cuz it can produce some Salvage so there we go uh and now we can go ahead and we can just place these in now if I put a whole bunch in here it will get clogged up but there is a way to actually detect this in the back but

That’s something we’ll set up later on when we have full automation of this right now the main purpose of this is to have enough Precision mechanisms in order to move on and get the terminal now speaking of the terminal we are going to need this process ready to go

And uh we need to basically send lava into this spout now typically you can’t just use a bucket on the spout so we’re going to have to get lava into this via a pump but if I already had gone gone through immersive engineering I could use a wooden barrel and you can actually

Fill the wooden barrel up with lava believe it or not and it will automatically insert it on the bottom side uh but we will eventually get into this whenever we get into immersive engineering I can’t just craft it right now because it requires creosote oil and

Yes we need a little bit of it to make something like that and immersive engineering has its own progression that is quite strenuous now I’ve kind of got my pump set up and I’m just going to basically put the lava here I’m going to put some trap doors here and then this

Will actually pull the lava uh into this automatically for me because yeah right clicking a bucket on here typically doesn’t work I am going to try it though um and uh I’ve got some power routed down here from an incase chain drive so I can just cover these up and make them

Look a little bit nicer uh and then I’ve just got to get the power up here to my mechanical presses now to just show off the cool part about belts um I’m going to go ahead and Link this with a belts and then link this right here with a

Belt and you can see that belts can also be used to transfer power uh like like this and that’s pretty nice uh you don’t have to just use belts for items then to power the mechanical pump I’m just going to hook this up uh-oh but we’ve run out

Of stress um so I think what I’m going to do is just add another water wheel and that should be more than enough to be able to supply this uh this mechanical pump these water wheels are such an amazing early game source of stress it is so nice um but you do have

To like I said gear ratio them up quite a bit but there we go now we have the pump up and running and we just need to get ourselves some lava so with the bucket of lava as you can see it doesn’t actually let you place it in so if I

Place it in World though then it will pull the entire bucket into here uh and so this will actually work and now I just got to take some obsidian and we just got to crush it a little bit now thankfully I only need like one piece so

I should be good I should be able to toss that in here and then that is going to go into here and give me the powered obsidian that I need and then I should be able to put the powdered obsidian in then it presses we get the sploosh and there we

Go we now have oursel a sturdy sheet and this is going to be pretty useful this is used for making the train related items so definitely going to be worthwhile but the big thing that for me that it’s used for is going to be in actually crafting because this is going

To be part of a major recipe for the crafting terminal so I think now at this point with all of these things sort of crafted up I can actually make the storage terminal itself right now and there we go so now we have the storage terminal but I do want to upgrade this

Immediately I’m going to need a link controller which requires a redstone link all of which is very easy to make and I have everything else ready to go craft it up uh I went ahead and just crafted some more of the mechanical crafters and this is just six buttons just like so

Boop and uh yeah we just put this together this thing is kind of cool I’ve actually never used the link controller uh but I think you can assign it to like multiple Redstone links which is kind of cool um and uh yeah last but not least is just putting all of this stuff

Together and so now to hope my memory is good I’m pretty sure the sturdy sheet goes in this side um and then the storage terminal is actually at the very top I do remember that and then the Crafters all go right here crafter Inception oh I only made six actually

Nine don’t I uh I should have more and there we go so now we have all nine Crafters um and then I need my linked controller to be right here and then last but not least the middle item that needs to go there uh is the Precision

Mechanism so I think my memory serves me right and now you get to see a new mechanic because uh this will actually auto start if you fill in all the slots but it doesn’t auto start right now the way we can actually force it to start is

By giving it a redstone signal and so now that I’ve given it a redstone signal this will then continue the Craft um so you don’t actually have to build your Crafters in like very specific shapes you can use one big one for the craft and there we go we now have a crafting

Terminal oh this is nice so this crafting terminal kind of opens up quite a lot um and if I remember we should be able to put this like for example on here like on this inventory and we can see all of the items inside of the inventory that it is connected to but

There are more ways that we can actually interact with this um and uh that is that we can use connectors to connect inventories to the terminal itself and the recipes for these don’t seem too bad they’re just brass sheets to make eight cables and then kelp and then to

Actually make the connector itself it just needs a shoot so now with all of these items crafted up including inventory connector I should be able to connect these together at least a few of these chests because I’m going to be rearranging how the actual storage is connected up but these are inventory

Cable connectors they’re just going to connect to the storages and I don’t have them connected to these storages however uh because like I said this is just a sort of play around and test here but I’m going to place the inventory connector right here and then all of these inventories should now be

Connected to the inventory connector and then we can read this one inventory with our terminal like this and now we should be able to see and interact with all of our items that are in those chests and that also means I can put items in those inventories now taking a look at the

Interface here this is sort of the first for me is I’ve never really use Tom storage but it is very familiar in that it is just sort of like uh simple storage or or many other storage mods um but this I thought was kind of cool you

Can actually change how you pull items out and in if you like AE style you can use it or if you like refined storage style there’s that or even if you like vanilla controls there they are uh that’s kind of cool I’m thinking for right now I’m going to stick with AE see

What I like you can also have uh choose whether or not it will pull from your inventory for crafts typically that’s okay um and I kind of like that it’ll automatically pull them from your inventory and uh if you don’t like it you can just toggle it off you can also

Change the way the items are being sorted and so looks like there’s all kinds of different sort methods I do like to have um sort by item amount and you can choose ascending or descending and then your the jei synchronize option so up here I have it synchronized with

Jei and uh that allows me to search jei up here Al together but it doesn’t seem to like interact back and forth so if you clear this grid it doesn’t actually clear the grid up here which is probably an oversight but uh if you just use a

Top you’ll be fine so believe it or not I actually managed to get all of my inventories in this configuration set up up and so now I can just simply craft everything out of here oh that is so convenient it’s going to make things things so much easier and uh definitely

Made crafting up more of these inventory cable connectors a lot easier so now that this is set up let’s see some other conveniences we can actually access this terminal wirelessly we just need a few more resources here and now it’s just super easy to craft all of these things

Up and this is also going to lead us into another thing um we actually need to make a vibration mechanism which is very much like a Precision mechanism however it does require amethyst shards with the basic Wireless terminal you can reach up to 16 blocks away which is all

Nice but the advanced one will eventually allow us to access it throughout the entire world and also even cross- dimensionally once we have a Max Level Beacon now since we already have the Precision mechanism set up going we should be able to make the other mechanism quite easily but I do

Need to go back down into the mine and thankfully gold pickaxes come with a Nate Fortune 2 so that’s going to be pretty helpful uh I’m pretty sure we can Fortune the amethyst geode that I had found now we do have a hone available on our tool here and this is something

Actually new that I am unfamiliar with so okay so our hone right here will give us efficiency one or durability where we have hone speed these are all different things I like efficiency but I really like durability more and so I think I’m going to go with durability one as the

Hone and so these are what you get every time we level these things up and uh so now the more I mine with this it’s going to level up again and then I can hone it again giving me even more bonuses and right here by the way is that geode that

We had found so if we just mine our way down in here aha we should have plenty of materials yes and this is going to get us all that we need for right now now we should be able to make this mechanism very very simply and and uh I

Don’t know if this has a crafting chance but let’s go ah and get this set up here um I just need to pull the ingredients out of this and I am going to need some Redstone and then my filter even needs to come out of here um so I think it’s a

Vibration right here so all we’re going to do is add this to the list and so now this can also operate from this same setup and I just need to grab a little bit of red stone and then also a couple of C and we should be good um and it looks

Like this is amethyst Cog wheels so let’s grab the Cog Wheels Cog wheels go in the middle amethyst goes first and Redstone goes last and then we just put the sheet in and this is just like the Precision mechanism however this one is made out of totally different materials

Pretty cool I I actually like this and uh the crafting of it not too difficult and did that complete it did and now we have a vibration mechanism which we can then use to make a radar say allows you to look at enemies around you that’s

Actually kind of cool we might want to make more of those just to actually have that um so I’m going to put another one in and get that crafted up I’ll use that later but for right now we can use that radar in actually making that terminal

Uh attachment so let’s go and get this ready to go I think it is just Tom’s and I think we have everything and this will give us a base of uh 64 distance so there we go there’s a base radar and then we just need an empty

Card which is going to require some paper oh yeah I’m going to have to get more uh sugar can because unfortunately the quality crops um it doesn’t allow you to craft with them unfortunately so time to harvest more sugar cane just like that we now have ourself a empty

Card and then that gets combined with our regular Wireless terminal and perfect now it says not bound uh does this access automatically do you have to shift right click okay so shift right click is now bound to the terminal and I can now use this card to open it up oh

That’s pretty cool uh now I’m assuming we can also set a keybind and I really like to set controll and E to wireless terminal uh to be able to open them up and this can go on our belt and here it is Tom simple storage open Terminal I

Want to set that to control and E I don’t know what control and E is set to by default so I’ll just go ahead and take a look it said it had a key conflict and looking through here I don’t really see anything so I should be

Able to not have it in my hand and CR e to open it up and so now we can put it into our belt slot which is this right here and contr e oh that’s so nice and we can open this and I don’t have to keep running back and forth over and

Over again up to 64 blocks for now but once we have a tier one Beacon we can access it anywhere in the world so now that that’s done let’s actually see what this entity radar does I’m very oh oh that is it has a very long cool

Down but that’s pretty cool is that just any entities so any entities that may be nearby within our range or whatever the range is of this we can use but it does have a a very long cool down um so as useful as that may be um

Maybe it would help with raids uh possibly I mean the Bell kind of does the same thing this is like a a portable Bell there we go so we can we can see the entities within a certain range now since we’re on the topic of cool gadgets

Let’s go ahead and use these Precision mechanisms to make two of my favorite items well one of them is my definite favorite and that is a building wand which is going to utilize the one ender pearl that I currently have and I also want to use this Precision mechanism

Which we can see all these cool recipes over here I want to use it to also make an extendo grip so now the first one on the list is going to be the extendo grip now this is going to use my back tank um so I should be able to just use some

Brass I’m going to start up here cuz I do know that is on the top okay so it looks like brass Precision mechanisms then the sticks brass Precision mechanism some sticks here for the extendo arm and then the the pointy finger and then we can craft this by the

Way if you do craft this uh and it is not the right recipe it’ll go all the way down to the bottom it’ll spin up and then it just spits the items everywhere which is kind of funny but there we go so now we have a cool little new gadget

Called the extendo grip um so the extendo grip goes in your offhand and allows you to use things in your offand so if I wanted to remove this I can do that and if I wanted to use my pick at a long distance I can do that if I wanted

To place a block at a long distance I can now do that and so this shouldn’t take durability um unless we don’t have our back tank equipped so uh let me go ahead and remove this and then our extendo grip as you see just took some durability which is unfortunate right if

We go ahead and fill this back up um this shouldn’t take durability so long as we have air compressed air to utilize it so something you got to keep in mind with the extender grip but it does it does allow you to have some really nice reach distance which could be helpful so

Now with my back tank back on we can see that the durability is just fine and then I can start to put this here and it just will I I don’t know if it uses any of the pressure just so long as you actually have some pressure um it’s

Really hard to tell for me it looks like we are good yeah it doesn’t look like it consumed any pressure at least just using it right now uh but this will also like work on your sword and stuff and apparently it also works on the the gun

However it makes it quite a bit harder to use the the gun um so yeah and and the reload animations are completely gone when you’re using it it’s actually that’s kind of that’s hilarious um but okay so now that we have this uh which this will actually help us Place

Items into here I believe um let’s go ahead and make the one of my favorite items it’s the wand of symmetry and this is probably one of the most overpowered items in create uh there’s a lot of overpower items but this one is incredibly overpowered and so it’s going

To require an ender pearl and so that’s going to go there and you can see the accendo grip actually working like fantastic right now at placing these items into this wall uh so Precision uh so precision inot and then this just like so Precision Ingot and you can see

Our our reach distance is quite far actually I can I I’m all the way over here and I’m placing items in um like how far can we reach to touch this button like like I am I am all the way out here it looks like this

Far I can push the button from all the way over here that’s like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine 10 blocks away holy smokes but yeah this thing is beautiful so this is a builder’s dream tool right here uh but it also has some other uses so let’s

First shift right click in here and we can see we have mirror once rectangular and octagon these are really really cool modes the mirror you can also change the axis but the best way to use mirror is by placing it down and then you can just change the

Direction by the place you’re looking but if you have it set in mirrored mode let me grab an iron block for example or just any blocks like copper if I place a block here it’s going to place it in the exact same d uh coordinate over here the

Or exact same opposite mirror coordinate just like that and if I was to change this direction like that it will also do the same here but take in mind it will also break the items as well so if the same items are in that uh that direction

It will also break them so this is a fantastic item and you also right click in the air to remove this uh the other modes by the way if you shift right click for example octagonal is basically like building 1/8 of a build so you

Place this down and if I wanted to build like a circle I mean you just basically have to build 1/8 of it and this will do the rest it’s kind of amazing um and breaking it down same same way uh if I was to change this for example to

Rectangular this is like 1/4 of the build so I would only have to build 1/4 of it and uh it would fill in the rest right and so then the other one is of course half of the build um so that’s that’s one way to look at the uh this W

Of symmetry but it’s it does have another use it has actually a crazy use and that is that underground you can use it to mine Stone and this is this is a very weird thing but if I have this mirrored like so and I’m breaking stone

If I break the stone here and then the both the stone you can see that I’m actually getting that stone uh and that’s it’s happening and I don’t even know if it’s utilizing durability so um we don’t have a way of seeing durability without hitting F3 and

H so now I should be able to see durability we see it’s 628 if I break this 628 so it did take off the durability for breaking that other block so keep that in mind it actually does use up the durability but it’s still letting you

Mine twice as fast and if you were doing the octagonal you could mine out an entire area 1/8 of the time that it would take you to mine it I cannot wait to utilize the wand of symmetry it is just a fantastic tool Tool uh keep in

Mind though like I mentioned before it has to be a matching block so if you break stone stone has to be on the other side for it to break if you break iron iron has to be on the other side for it to break it it will not just break

Willy-nilly wow willy-nilly is such a weird word and I can’t believe I just said that so now with these tools I now have the ability to start building and that’s what I’m excited for So within the next couple of episodes this whole base is going to start to transform and

Turn turn into a create Masterpiece or so I hope I hope that’s what I do with it because sometimes my brain doesn’t let me do things but I’m going to try my best to sort of transform all of this um and we first have to start with well

Getting a very nice centralized source of rotational energy for the create mod and uh without having steam turbines for right now we’re going to be using large water wheels and then we’ll just start to spread that power throughout the base we got guys if you enjoyed today’s
