automated dynamite farm

[TheBritishGuy]

hi guys i've made a auto-farm to make dynamite

[Bobawye]

how?

Dynamite takes to make: Explosive powder. Explosive powder takes 2x carbon,1 sulfur. So you'd need either a planet where sulfur is found, or a large supply from elsewhere.

So you set machinery up to feed the ingredients to a chemistry lab set to repeat making explosive powder. Output from that then goes to a small printer also set to repeat to make the dynamite. The carbon would come from organic, easy enough and cheap enough to get in large quantity.

I'll make this setup in a creative game and post it when I get a chance, likely tomorrow.

You could make this more elegant, but that's the basic setup.

That's the easy part. Do it without the plinths.

I did as I said I would. Did not want to fly to Atrox just to do it "for realsies".

In you're first screen shot what is the gas sitting on. I have never seen the blocks with arrows on either side and some other icon in the back.

They are called plinths and only accessible in creative mode. It spawns the item of your choice.

Ah ok, I have never been in creative mode. Thanks.
