Just a huge 10x13x2 Castle/Flood gate using pullies and platforms. The timing is a bit off on the 2 sections, damn redstone torches.
Also here is a link to my 1.6.6 world save, the whole shabang. It includes a mobtrap using saws, 3 different types of elevators, full hemp grow op fully automated, couple castle gates windmills etc etc etc.
YOU WILL NEED PISTONS MOD and BETTER THAN WOLVES MOD INSTALLED TO USE ALL CREATIONS. You can just use better than wolves if you dont care about the pistons creations, they have been gathering dust for me anyway lol, some circuits on them may be broken from creepers.
Anywho enjoy the vid, my return to minecraft after a while away (really since the forums went down lol):
Lol yeah, I had like 800 views on the self build house vid yesterday, it's over 9000 now oO
I posted it on reddit, but 90% of the viewers are only comming from a search on youtube.
thank god a familiar face. Yea going over the insight stats, they all found it via youtube or google search.
Pretty nuts, i knew something was up, then saw someone posted it on notch's twitter. Has to be why it's exploded all of a sudden. I feel bad i havent made a vid lately (built a HUGE thing and then a glitch in platforms messed up the end result so i abandoned it)
Anyone else running a youtube channel with BTW vids? My channel has EXPLODED today. I'm talking over 10k views etc, all on just my BTW vids. Been trying to find out why, think i traced it back to someone telling Notch to add BTW to the game on his twitter. It's ridiculous, i can't even keep up with it.
My "How to install BTW on Mac" vid went from ~500 views to over 2k today....its ridiculous.
Finally back, I'll have to upload a vid soon, been making a massive gate and came across a platform glitch. Having two anchors next to each other causes one anchor to be ignored and won't pick up all of it's platforms. I have 3 sets of anchors right next to each other. Only 1 set does this.
ok well i do have a repeater in that section, it's just hidden by the cobblestone bridge thing there, and what do you mean a button for the BD's? a read button or a "redstone button" sorry not to great with redsone yet. *sigh*
lol no worries man, by "button" i mean you'll need to craft an actual button instead of a lever for the BD's.
I'll tell you what tomorrow i'll throw my 2 basic elevators on a map and put them up for download, that way you can get a good idea of how it works, and see all the redstone trickery, cool?
just below the water wheel is a straight drop down of redstone torches to lead up. and what part do you mean at the bottom of the pic? leading to the second pulley?
ok, this is looking directly at that pic:
Your XOR gate looks fine, i get that you have an input from your bottom level coming up from under the water wheel, and i can follow your other input from right by the platforms. The inputs look fine.
From your XOR gate output: It branches up and down. For now, remove a piece of redstone from that upward branch to disable it (see next paragraph). On that downward branch it then goes to a repeater. From there it goes straight and also branches down and goes toward your bottom BD (we'll deal with this later), where it goes straight travels 18 blocks to the gearbox you're trying to turn off. So you need to add a repeater in there somewhere. Now back to where it branches down to that other DB, remove a piece of redstone from that to disable it (see next paragraph)
Are you also using your XOR gate output to control the BD to deactivate the brakes on the pulley? If so that won't work, you need to setup a seperate circuit for the BDs so you can have them always on, and then with a button press they flash off and then back on. You have the right idea with the BD's pulling a piece of redstone dust from what im assuming are your redstone lines running from your detectors to the pulleys to work as brakes. However the BD's *MUST* be operated using a button so they work properly, you cant use a part of that XOR gate.
at least thats my interpretation of the pic, maybe im seeing something wrong and someone else can help. You're really close though, dont give up hope my instructions were clear :smile.gif:
try adding a repeater on the strip of redstone thats to below the water wheel and under it by about a block or so. The distance from your gearbox to the output line's repeater seems to be about 18 blocks. (i think you're actually turning off the main gearbox at the water wheel by running the redstone over it on a cobble block, because that seems to be around 13-14 from that repeater, just so ya know, i never checked to see if you could turn off a gearbox by powering a block on top of a gearbox tho, so that may not be true)
also im a little confused on what youre doing with the branched off line of redstone on the XOR gate's output (at the bottom of that pic). pop that branch off and test it that way, maybe the redstone torch is doing something.
you are very close tho, so dont give up, you seem to have the gates hooked up right. i just dont know if youre using detectors or something that might be messing you up unexpectedly.
well i have a screen shot but how do i post it? lol
youll need to upload it then link it here, i use photobucket, but you need an account, i think there's so other places that will host it without signing up but dont know any of them, sorry.
ya, and it's a water wheel with no rain... everything seems to be working but i must be missing something
screenshots or video? Ive never had it happen and ive used it tons of times. The fact that it starts going up means your definitely switching it off temporarily at least.
Try going to the gearbox, put a lever directly on it and switch it, see if it is controllable that way.
Looking at your sig I'd think you'd be all for this mod, Flowerchild seems to have granted one of your fondest wishes. He added an animal block, the companion cube, sure it's not a cat but you can't have everything :wink.gif:.
Holy crap, thats so true. Yea dude flowerchild inadvertently fulfilled your wish for a "cat block" except with the wolves. It sleeps, you can pet it, it gives you "love", it does nothing, its at least part animal, its a block, hell you can even put it on top of your bookshelf.
anyone know why the pulleys would go down then up again after triggered to go down..?
is your redstone going to the gearbox staying on or do you have it wired to a button? It goes down when redstone is off, and up when its on. So im guessing your redstone isn't staying on.
And you want cats in the game too? Maybe you should be playing Neopets instead.
I think this mod is the only reason some of us still play MC.
Edit: Took way too long to hit "post", so naturally everyone else beat me to it.
LMAO he doesnt even want real cats, he wants a CAT BLOCK that does NOTHING hahaha.
"For the people who want cats in the game, I suggest: not a mob, but a block. You cannot craft a cat block; they must be found. Sometimes they are found curled up in dungeon chests, but they are also found in the wild in any biome, in the branches of trees, and even in the shallower parts of natural caves. The cat block can be picked up (by punching it, the usual minecraft method of picking things up) and placed anywhere, as a normal block. I personally plan to put one on top of my bookshelf. You cannot stack cats in your inventory.
The cat block's normal state is asleep, with eyes closed. Cat blocks sleep all the time. They don't chase mice, they don't meow. They don't run around. Running around all crazy-like is for wolves. "
BAHAHAHAHAH
Anyway onto some of the "totally completely uncool ****" that isn't Better Than Wolves (or CAT BLOCKS HAHAH)....bahaha

Now that I look at it..... How do u get stuff out of the cauldron?

Surround the hopper with water, and have water on top of the hopper (key part) that *might* work

hmm, is it on a windmill? is it raining?
you've got to be losing mech power somehow. is there black puffs of smoke from the pulley and gearbox with the redstone on?
