Create: Above and Beyond EP8 Polished Quartz Automation

Hey guys and welcome back this is chosen architect and today we’re going to be jumping back into more create above and beyond So welcome back of course guys we have a lot to go over today and uh well first things first i was mining i’ve been doing a lot of finding as you can see and uh well i stumbled upon this uh wow okay so this is a mega cave and um well

I have ideas already that are just flowing through my mind of what to do with this like not only is this place full of danger like yes 100 full of danger this is under my base like th and there’s a grass block setting here already allowing us to i don’t know

Why there’s a all must be from enderman but yeah we have a grass block which is pretty awesome and i mean i i think i have silk touch anyways which really isn’t a big deal but still having that is pretty nice but look how big this area is

I yeah okay this is uh quite a large underground area which we might end up with some of our builds being underground and i mean this right here it already is like an amazing place for that plus look at all the ore and stuff that’s just lingering

So yeah i’ll definitely make sure to mark this and uh we can always come back because this is a place to not only explore but to potentially build in like wow this place is massive underground so like i said today is going to be a a

Fairly interesting day uh we have a lot to sort of uh get started with automation there is uh there’s a lot to do so uh starting off i wanted to work on this so this is the skystone mill and i think if we get to at least this point will be good

Um and so long as we can work in a recharger there’s a whole step that’s going to go along with that now this is going to be a big setup all on its own and it talks about using crafters over here so i think at first maybe we do this manually um

I don’t know we’ll figure out this part manually because we can’t do it yet until we have crafters and crafters are going to be something that are are done after we get this component down here uh i’ll get more of them right because we’ve already technically made them

Manually this but we definitely need to get to here so lots of work lots of work so skystone mill um that is going to involve a mixer i’m already going to set myself up two mixers um because i know we’re gonna need two mixers down the road we’re also gonna need

Two basins uh that’s definitely going to be needed as well um i already have myself my millstone made up uh because we need at least one millstone here and uh it’s gonna be interesting to be and i tested this out that’s why i made the millstone skystone i thought if you

Put it in here just constantly generates but no what it does is it generates skystone dust and then goes ahead and drops out the skystone um so we get two things as a product and then we need to get the skystone back into the system

Um so that’s going to be a fun little thing that we have to work around and set up i also went ahead and put up two windmills over here because we are going to be moving area moving over here uh to hopefully spread things out so we don’t

Have everything all in one area that’s just going to cause lag the more we have in one space the more lag it’s just going to happen overall and eventually i want to get my storage storage set up a little bit better this is getting really tiresome going back and forth in here

Another thing we’re eventually gonna need is this uh yeah an oculus accumulator so we have that um also i have since i went to the nether last episode i have tons of cobalt like we have so much cobalt and i can always go back and get more because there was just tons of

It there um and the cobalt is really nice because we can take things like barrels for example and make the largest barrel that we have available to us 81 slots in these barrels so i’m pretty sure we can fit just about in all four of these barrels we can fit

Just about everything we have over here in these um and there’s a thing that we could eventually get into that could be some sort of early inventory storage system using fancy pipes but that’s something we’ll have to get into later and uh it’s it’s a little bit um

Yeah so it’s it’s definitely more old school as far as like you have to request your items and stuff so we’ll see about getting into that but first let’s go ahead and see if we can’t get this millstone automated and allow us to get this millstone

And get this dust sent over and we also needed that oculus accumulator by the way because we’re gonna need to pump water into here because skystone dust and water is what’s gonna end what’s what’s gonna eventually make that volatile uh Uh sky solution so this stuff needs water and also needs for skystone dust so let’s see if we can’t set this up and first of all get this millstone automated so here’s my plan for this we have the mill i have this i can go ahead and lock down behind here

And now what the plan is is to have a conveyor belt set up and then of course we use our inside funnel that is going to suck the item in that is locked in here because only this item can go in of course it’s getting dark on me um and

Then i am going to have an annosite funnel that is going to be pulling items into the millstone and so we should be able to do this and then have this shooting up items that fall through there so this should hopefully be a solution to this um this right here is basically

Creating a filter for us it looks funny but i think it will work there is the possibility of it getting stuck and not working but i i think this is going to do the job and so we’ll have our conveyor belt start here this is simply automated and

The only thing we should be getting out of this is skystone dust so we should be able to set it up with a mixer really really easy over here so now that i have the ocus accumulator set up i just have to basically put water here we should be able to successfully pump

Water directly into this and so we have our conveyor belts running here here here to here this needs to be once it starts spinning this way i think things will change also i need to put a funnel here and then this will be the output perfect and uh then we just store the

Output for right now um because our no our output’s gonna be a uh a fluid right so no we actually need so if our output is going to be a fluid we don’t need a conveyor belt system here we need to get this fluid out of here

And to do that is going to be using a smart fluid pipe because we do not want to be pulling water out of this so we’ll use a smart fluid pipe and then we’ll pipe this to our next setup which i believe is going to be over here

So i think i want to set this up all in one go and that’s going to also involve this stuff which is going to be destabilized redstone so for the next step things get a little bit more complicated because we’re going to be introducing power believe it or not

Uh but not a lot like not a lot it’s not it’s not a crazy amount of power that’s going to be needed for this and i’m hoping that it directly charges without the need of uh of like converting the power because this is technically applied in logistics and it

Uses its own power type unless that’s been changed so uh we’ll actually find out so let’s go ahead and put this in we’ll get ourselves a magmatic dynamo and i want to go ahead and put an upgrade i believe uh we can go ahead and make a couple of upgrades

And i’m gonna go ahead and make one for the uh the the actual dynamo another one for this oculus accumulator that we’re using because i don’t know uh if this is gonna be able to provide enough water for our future tasks um now i do plan on having a separate assembly line for

Water and it might end up going over here but what i can do is i can go ahead and go hey boom now it actually produces water a bit faster which is really nice also the magmatic dynamo uh will accept that it also is going to need lava uh and then

This is going to of course increase it it does uh times two so uh this already has a nice output of adrf versus i believe 40 and uh yeah it’s gonna run a lot better this actually can produce quite a bit of power but like i said i just don’t think

We’re gonna need a whole bunch of power we’ll find out i really have to make this so what do we need in order to make blue x crystals because that’s the fun stuff so this is the reason why we went to the nether last episode so nether quartz redstone dust

And then uh we also need charged critters quartz so at least one charged circus quartz is all we need and uh thankfully i went mining at the end of this episode to make sure that we had that one thing of course i ended up gathering way more than that um but

Right here so i have at least one charge circus one redstone and then we also need some quartz which we have down here this honestly needs to go in this chest and there we go and now what we need is a puddle of water now where are we going

To find that and i mean oh hey look hey here’s a puddle of water so i toss this down in there give it a moment so long as they don’t actually pick it up i i kind of wanted to watch it happen oh this is always the hard part right is

Actually getting it all in at once i’ll just i’ll just leave it we can’t see it it happened it did the thing and there we go we have flux crystals all right let’s go ahead and craft this uh and see what exactly we’re gonna need this is gonna require an end to site

Machine and then we apply that and now we have a charger so what we can do with the charger is we can go ahead and charge up regular service cords um now at the moment this is actually going to be renewable so all we really need is one service

Course but i want to i want to kind of check and see what the the level is of power consumption and how quick this is gonna and if it’s gonna even work so without some sort of converter because i do know a planner just sticks it does its own thing right

Um it uses its own own power or used to i don’t think i’ve played with it in this version so here we go this now has lava in it it’s starting to build up some power we’ll now see then it has some power in here and i believe it’s

Efficient enough to stop consuming power like stop consuming lava once it has uh completely filled up there we go and or maybe not if he does lose 8rf per tick i don’t actually know so let’s hook this up is this going to receive power oh so there’s an input and output

I believe the the top is an input and the bottom is an output uh and it’s very specific in that manner so if i was to set up a shoot just to test this out i’m almost positive the shoot won’t output the chart won’t output until the item is charged

So do i have a shoot laying around i do so let’s test that out just have a random shoot and that should just drop the item um and let’s see we put this in here looks like some stuff happened i notice it’s not uh disappearing or anything

But i can’t tell if it’s actually charging or not that is another issue okay so i’m almost positive this is my problem so this needs to be set up and done this way which makes it a little bit more complicated uh this has to be charged from the bottom

And so it is now fully charged and we have ourself a piece of charge okay so this gets placed in there it’s going to take a second and it’s going to charge okay but now we need to filter um how am i gonna do this okay this is gonna be

Way easier than i thought because if i put the item in the output doesn’t get spit out until it’s done until it’s done charging oh that is so much better and so all i have to do now is i have to receive this as a output

And uh the the bad item i just have to receive it as an output and then just get it back in here and route it back through so i think this is i think this is gonna work and all we really need is one so uh basically i have the mechanical

Mixer and the way it seems is its output its item output is actually going to be the uh the the one that is uncharged so all i have to do is throw it in here to be charged once it’s fully charged it gets output onto the belt and then gets routed right

Back inside itself and then we are just going to have our destabilized redstone which is going to be right here that we can use for all the other projects moving forward so at the moment i am testing some things out um so all i have running

Right now is my pumps but i wanted to see this because it shows right here that this is gonna require four steps each and so i just i don’t know if i put one of these in oh it’s gonna go through each one ah okay so we would need some sort of

Four-step process to send this through over and over again yeah man that would actually get that would get rough okay so we need four of these and we need to spread this out a little bit more and then we need to create a loop for these so that way they loop back and

The only ones the only one that uh finally gets released is going to be the finished product but man how am i going to do that so in theory this should work let me go ahead and kind of explain it the best i can so the items go into this chest

We also have a return chest here that is going to suck up items like this so any item that lands here is going to get put back in here so the idea is items get pushed out they’re going to hit the four spouts right here um they’re they’re going to

Go through their first stage and then only when they’ve hit their final stage so really i need to go ahead and get this hooked up to test this out because to be able to set the filter i need this circus quartz seed to have done this uh the appropriate amount of times but

Basically if i set the filter then this will be locked to the top tier and it will will suck the item out so here’s the thing if they don’t match this then they’ll end up on this belt line and then they’ll just route their way back and then go through

This again and that will be their next stage and then vice versa so on and so forth until all of them are done and i hope this works this may be overcomplicated uh but once this is filtered then all we got to do is just run a belt here to here

And that’s it let me get my shafts by the way this backpack has become oh so nice even though it’s small right now it still beats like everything else so i’m able to literally have this set up all right and then we just route that there and we’re good

So now i just got to get power rounded to everything and uh just get stuff running and also getting our fluid pipes hooked to it oh my gosh i think i’m apps i i think i’m actually a genius um believe it or not at least i feel like i am i don’t know

Uh if i have this spinning i mean this is a belt will an item automatically get pulled out of here into this if it’s set up oh i need i need to test this out let’s go ahead and get this temporarily expanded over here uh because i need this hooked in and

What i’m using is an endocyte tunnel and if you don’t know what that is let’s see this actually needs to be flipped so let’s use a vertical oh boy and then use a regular okay so the idea behind this the endocyte tunnel does a weird thing uh it takes an item

Uh it takes like a stack of items right or two items and it only gives one out and the rest goes across the belt so if i have another belt line hooked here what should happen is if there are two in here it’ll split out and should should question mark

You should give me one over here one this way uh now it’s really weird with the inside funnel because i mean it only does one but we gotta test this out i’ve got to lock this uh the problem is if it if it happens too fast let’s do some testing so at

This point it’s coming around for its last one there should be two now in here i believe at least that’s what should be let’s see yes there’s two so there’s two in there okay so what i’m seeing is this endocyte tunnel does not pull so we still need an

Insight funnel and so i’m gonna have to move this set up here with the pipe and everything uh we’re gonna leave this and then this needs to be moved but we’ve got to give ourselves a little bit more room here because the reason why i want to do this and split

At least one is simply because this setup right here can technically auto regenerate itself so which seems weird because normally when this is finished right we can’t re-crush it back into certain quartz dust so we could technically have an infinite amount of these running back and forth so long

As we can split one off and so using the same setup that we have over here that’s automating our uh what is it called our skystone this setup should work the same here so we basically will have an infinite supply and i’m thinking i don’t even need to move this

Because what if i just take two andesite funnels and i put one here and one here then they should technically split like i don’t know how how often is going to split um but they definitely should split so let’s go ahead i’ll toss this here and i notice it went down that line

First is it round robin is it just not no i mean so it went this way both times hmm this is where i think i’m going to have to set up something similar something different with this point i am manually crafting rose quartz uh so that way i can go ahead and produce

These um because i need just one brass thing i need a brass funnel that’s all i need so with this going manual i think this is the only thing that i’m needing that is manual and so i’ll just go ahead and throw that over here and once we have the brass funnel

Making rose quartz is a 100 automated and then all we need to do is basically feed rose quartz into a system that’s like this that’s connected to some sort of smelter that’s connected to this and we have full automation over here and then we’ll basically have these fully automated so long as we’re

Supplying them with kinetic mechanisms that’s what’s up right that’s that’s the awesome sauce right here so we are almost done with this section so right here is going to manually craft the tier 2 kinetics and like i said i just need a funnel or a tunnel

So i just need a brass tunnel and a brass tunnel is fantastic all i can do i already have brass casings available to be made we’re basically ready so i’m going to show you once i get them made and just like that we take our brass casings making ourselves a brass machine

And then we put this in a saw because uh that’s what we need right we just need that one simple thing which is a brass tunnel oh it gives us four oh that’s so nice okay well the fact that we have four of them is even better

But we really only need one and that’s because this can do round robining on conveyor lines um so at the moment i do have a conveyor line running backwards how did this end up getting run backwards i i’m actually kind of confused by this i thought this was running the right way

Something’s flipped on me this is running this way oh i think it’s one of these ended up getting flipped back here okay so after that huge mess i believe i have this now figured out um but yeah so all we’re going to do is take a brass tunnel

And slap that here and then go on top with our wrench and we need to tell this hey um let’s see we have multiple options available split or split let’s do round robin so i’m gonna have the multiple outputs around robin and if you notice

If i take these two here and i put them inside watch one gets split and then one goes here that’s exactly what we want because what we want is this to be taken up and re-focused as you can see it get ground then it gets lined up back here oh wait

No there’s another step uh we need to take this and we need to combine this with sand oh that’s the only thing that’s going to make this fully automated is having sand oh i can tell you my goodness things things are getting a little out of hand

Uh so i went ahead and made a few more cogs and i’m assuming i can just uh i can just cog this up here we just got rows and rows of cogs okay oh let’s nope let’s pick those up those those don’t need to go in there

They’ll just end up looping forever um anyways so yeah with that done you can see we now have our processes working oh i can almost turn everything on all i have to do is get the filters for the fluids done and i can turn these things on

Honestly let’s go ahead and get this turned on all i have to do is put the first piece of sky stone in there and this whole contraption should be good let’s get our wrench and all i gotta do is toss this oh man toss toss that in there

Let’s get a little bit closer toss this and there and now we should have a system that is automatically working and once we get four of these in here and get them mixed up i have to grab a bucket of it out and then apply it to this filter

Actually this doesn’t need a filter does it because this is always going to be this fluid no no wait no this receives water too doesn’t it ah yeah this receives water so i need an entire bucket full of full worth of this stuff um how much is that that’s uh let’s see

It makes also two two separate routes of this so as soon as it does its next like flush i should be able to get all the filters for everything so now as far as this one goes i should be able to just drop a piece of charged in here i know this

Is getting like incredibly cramped i throw a piece of charged in there and then that gets output back out gets charged when it’s charged it goes back in and repeats the process all right and then once i have enough to stabilize in here i don’t know how much it actually makes

Destabilized is under this mode so it’s done three processes now so one more process and we’ll have a whole bucket full oh there it is it’s floating in there maybe we don’t have enough of the other material yet oh no we do okay so there’s my fluid

Filter there and i can i should be able to no i can’t put that back in so i’ll keep that for later and all i have to do now is hook this up make sure that’s pumping in the right direction oh boy when everything is like going your way

Like finally doing the thing it’s supposed to do there it is right there and then i just need to hook a cog here and the whole system’s over stressed no way no way um well time for another wheel and i’ve done it the the next day all i did was

Add a little bit more onto our windmills and we now have the stress capacity to complete this so now i know if i ever basically run into that issue again that i can just add to the windmills by the way oh i have yeah that needs to not be in

There um by the way this right here is how i’m basically automating this so now we have basically full automation so long as i have sand so this is generating sand and it’s not the greatest way to generate sand but for now this whole setup is generating polished rose quartz i

Should be doing it at like 100 rate right it should be it should be working um oh because this shut off because that shut off i think something happened here i’m gonna have to go back through and just make sure because i think this had stopped so after a few

More minutes of me just overlooking everything making sure everything is flowing right yeah this is actually working we now have nine courts in there it’s not super fast but it is producing and it’s all running on its own like that’s that’s what matters it’s all running on its own so this

Saves me on courts and it also saves me on redstone ah now the only thing i have to do is just to basically what i have a bunch collected is to just throw it over here and we have it semi-automated but the goal is of course to get it fully automated well guys

What a crazy crazy contraption that we have built behind us and i i don’t i don’t even know how it could get any better honestly without using like carts and a lot more area it is actually very compact which i kind of like but anyways guys of course it’s the
