Infinite Universe (Competition Idea)

​

Hello, Mine Your Mind!

This has been an idea on my mind for quite a while lately, and I wish to finally put it out in the community to see what you guys think about it.

Game Idea -

You must build a machine of epic proportions. It will have the capacity to make any item you need AND to have an unlimited supply. From farms to devices that make everything you need to craft something.

Concept -

Well, to start off with, I would say it is a competition with a timeline, but each competition will be different if I say. Ex: Competition One, Resonant Solar. Time passes, it ends, winner(s) Competition Two, A Bunch of Foods from Pams. Time passes, it ends, winner(s) Etc.

What it is pretty much is where you get one item to make per competition or round I suppose. You may have the option to just having it automatically craft or to have the capability to make hundreds of them at a time. You would automate literally everything that goes into it (Items that have no way to be automated will not be chosen.) and create farms for everything that goes into it.

Lets the item is ME Drives.
- You automate the production of Redstone, Quartz, Sand/Glass, All of it.
- You have it craft into it through a serious of crafters or AE2 Crafting (If you choose that method)

The idea is to make it as efficient or most productive as possible. So lets say you are automating Redstone... you have a slew of options. Laser Drill, Bees, Witches... But which one would be the best. Witches obviously, because you can make a spawner for them with Draconic Evolution, Ender IO, or MineFactory Reloaded. Plus you get a bi-product that is useful - sticks, Glowstone, Glass Bottles, and sugar. Well, ME Drives also use Glowstone, which means you can have both in one machine.

*TIP- You would get more points for having them produced from the same machine. Like there are a few ways to make Glowstone other than witches, but they are slower and less efficient.*





This is pretty much my idea so far, and you could add on to it if you would like. I just wanted to see what the community thinks about it.
By the way - You can also create Redstone with IC2 MassFab and Replicator. Same goes for Glowstone and Glass ^,^ Both used in ME Drives. Note tho - When both are running at the same time it causes the TPS to be obliterated, so please be nice to the server if you were to choose this method to make items!



Thank you for taking the time to read this!

This might be better in the suggestions forum, and you appear to have cut your post off partway.

 

Haha I messed up and clicked the post button and this I did not want to be in the suggestions forum. I just wanted it to be an idea, to see what feed back I could get, that type..


Edit: I have finished the post, you should look at it now ^,^

 

-moved to suggestions and feedback

 

It's a nice idea, but I fear that this will cause massive amounts of lag.[DOUBLEPOST=1470269764][/DOUBLEPOST]Think the guy with the infinity bee will surely win. After all, bees are pretty much unbeetable.[DOUBLEPOST=1470269970][/DOUBLEPOST]Shouldn't there be extra points for automating very very difficult stuff? Like witchery attuned stones, draconic blocks, some thaumcraft infusions, etc.

 

Nice one

 

No, the thing is to make it not laggy. A mob spawner would not be the top tier drac, and you would not have giant tree farms. Just enough to make sure you have enough resources. You may not even need AE! Honestly you can make a lot of stuff in one chunk with tesseracts![DOUBLEPOST=1470272017][/DOUBLEPOST]

And well other people would be automating the exact same thing..
Well if the item required those - usually that stuff is a one craft type deal

 

but when is enough enough?

 

um...never?

 

I guess this should be only on modpacks with IC2, and not right after the server has started. Some resources need to be fabricated with UU matter to have an unlimited supply of them, like lapis lazuli, gold, diamonds, dirt (unthil exploiting ender quarry) etc. (Ok, I know, orechid produces lapis at insane speed of stack per day, but i highly doubt that 1000 orechids won't be lagging the server).

Edit:Looks like I'm blind... I hasn't realuzed thi would be an infinity evolved competition.

 

I like the idea, But maybe tweak it, like you are given a set amount of resources, lets see what you can do

 

This seems like it would work quite well on the FTB Inventions pack, as it is designed specifically for the creation of automated systems.
