Auto pottery/kiln before the End

Post by jstu9 »

I have been trying to puzzle how to make an auto pottery and auto kiln device before getting End tech. I think it can be done but anything I have found here involves End tech devices.

I think I can figure out the timer with a turntable and repeater. But how to put the blocks down? I was pondering some elaborate piston contraption to move blocks around but haven't quite puzzled it out yet.

So is it possible? I kinda just want a hint how to do it but I wouldn't be upset if you flat out told me.

My auto pottery works without End tech. but for the auto-kiln i had to use a block dispenser.

For the auto-pottery my advice is a regular dispenser and hardcore packing.

my design puts a HC packing autopottery right next to a kiln. timing is done with a piston feedtape.

I've been playing BTW for awhile and I either forgot or never learned about hardcore packing. Thanks!

Thank you both for your responses. Should be interesting to try to get this to work. Thanks!

You musst use turn table to make an urn after that how do you cook urn automatically ?

push the urn into the kiln. it sacrifices some efficiency as I have to replace a hibachi with axles for the turntable.

the clay balls should go into the kiln along with the urn. after that its just a matter of how you want to get the finished urn(and clay balls) into an item collector.

If you want full clay recycling, go talk to someone else. that's still theoretically possible, but a whole different can of worms.

I built a pre-end auto pottery system a couple years ago in my main world but instead of having it automatically place the pottery it in a kiln i just drop it into a hopper(i was scared I would make hundreds of vases by accident) instead of an auto kiln i built a manual kiln large enough to do batches of 64. It was very expensive but I think it was well worth it because I could mass produce charcoal. I refuse to store hellfire dust any where near my base so the charcoal helps me keep my sanity)
