Setup Performance Query

Hey!

I'm currently trying to automate emeralds by slaughtering innocent villagers in the masses. An issue I ran into was that the smeltry has to have some material in to massacre the villagers for their emeralds. So I wrote a Computer Craft program which checks if there's more than an emerald gem in the smeltry before allowing a liquid translocator to extract.

Here's my code, can someone confirm that this wont have too much of a performance impact on the server

Code:

smeltry = peripheral.wrap("back")
while true do
  smeltryTank = smeltry.getTankInfo()
  emeraldAmount = smeltryTank[1]["contents"]["amount"] / 640
  if emeraldAmount > 1 then
	rs.setOutput("bottom", false)
  else
	rs.setOutput("bottom", true)
  end
  sleep(0.05)
end

 

I don't know how well computer craft is coded, but I would assume that someone who builds a Lua parser into mc knows how to code.

I would increase that sleep. There is no point to check things each tick, make it a second or even more.

 

it's needed so the translocator is turned off before the smeltry is emptied because I need a small amount of molten emerald left in there to kill the villagers, I guess I could up the amount stored in the smeltry at once so the translocator takes longer to transfer it and then increase the sleep

 

Why not leave a different liquid in there that doesn't get pulled?

 

That's a much better idea that way the computer isn't needed, cheers mate

 

Thats what i always do when building murder factory's, I use 1 iron nuget and make sure it is always at the bottom in the controller by using fluid filters.
