Using BuildCraft, Forestry, Industrial Craft and Equivalent Exchange I was able to make a fully automatic diamond farm, with output around
21.2 diamonds per minute.Todo: Make a pipe system that will automatically refill steam engines with charcoal (possibly RedPower 2’s transportaion tubes, since there doesn’t seem to be enough space for any more buildcraft pipes without them connecting to existing ones, Eventually connect charcoal distribution into existing production line of diamonds while adding filters)
“Basic” flowchart of the “machine”:
- [BuildCraft] Piping all around the machine
- [Forestry] Planting and harvesting trees
- [Industrial Craft] Cooking Wood into Charcoal
- [BuildCraft + Equivalent Exchange] Automatic crafting table: Philosopher’s stone + 4 Charcoal => 1 Coal
- [IC] Macerator: Coal => Coal Dust
- [BC+IC] Automatic crafting table: 8 Coal Dust + Flint => Coal Ball
- [IC] Compressor: Coal Ball => Compressed Coal Ball
- [BC+IC] Automatic crafting table: 8 Compressed Coal Balls + Obsidian => Coal Chunk
- [IC] Compressor: Coal Chunk => Diamond
