2. Automatic Miners: Strategies and Initial Considerations
- ✅ It is recommended to use standard automatic miners instead of the fast ones.
- ⚠️ Fast miners require constant bit changes.
- ✅ Standard automatic miners offer a constant flow of resources.
- ✅ Fast miners are useful at the beginning of the game to unlock content quickly.
00:41 - 01:25
3. Miner Selection: Resources and Gem Separation
- ✅ When choosing a miner, it is important to check the resources it can extract (e.g., iron ore, coal ore, crushed iron, diamond gems).
- ⚠️ Diamond and emerald gems must be separated so that they do not enter the crushers and furnaces.
- ✅ Crushed iron ore can go through the crusher without problems.
- ✅ Coal will be treated separately.
01:26 - 02:35
4. Initial Setup of Miners and Space Planning
- ✅ It is recommended to deactivate the automatic miners when placing them to prevent resources from scattering.
- ✅ Multiple crushers and separators can be used, but the video will show a more efficient way to save space.
- ✅ It is advisable to choose the 4 or 5 most desired miners in the main room due to space limitations.
- ✅ Hallways can be used to extend conveyor belts to other processing areas.
02:36 - 03:56
5. Processing Area Planning: Crushing and Smelting
- ✅ It is recommended to reserve the lower area for polishing machines, plates, pipes, bars, and rods.
- ✅ The main area will be used for crushing and smelting.
03:57 - 05:38
6. Gem Separation and Conveyor Belt Setup
- ✅ A separator is used to divert emerald and diamond gems.
- ✅ The gems will be sent to a polishing table (which will be set up later).
- ✅ Coal will be sent to a separate area for further processing.
- ✅ Iron and copper will be sent to the crushers.
05:39 - 07:18
7. Compact Construction of Crushers and Furnaces
- ✅ Elevators and ramps are used to place the crushers and furnaces at the correct height.
- ✅ A compact design is shown to save space.
- ✅ The goal is to demonstrate how to crush and smelt efficiently without taking up too much space.
07:19 - 08:03
8. Connecting Crushers and Furnaces
- ✅ The crushers are connected to the furnaces by conveyor belts.
- ✅ Iron and copper must pass through the crushers and then to the furnaces.
08:04 - 08:59
9. Connecting Miners to the Central System
- ✅ The conveyor belts are raised to save space.
- ✅ All resources from the miners are sent to a central processing system.
09:00 - 09:50
10. Gem Separation and Future Plans
- ✅ A separator is used to send the gems to the polishing table.
- ✅ A future video on advanced gem processing is planned.
09:51 - 10:46
11. Coal Handling and Future Plans
- ✅ Coal is sold for now, but a future video is planned on how to maximize coal profits.
- ✅ Coal will be used to obtain diamonds and emeralds.
10:47 - 11:30
12. Final Connection of Miners and Height Considerations
- ✅ The copper miner is connected to the central system.
- ✅ The conveyor belts are raised to save space.
- ⚠️ The height of the conveyor belts must be considered to be able to access the resources.
11:31 - 12:19
13. System Test and Resource Flow
- ✅ The system is tested to verify the flow of resources.
- ✅ Emeralds and coal are separated correctly.
- ✅ It is recommended to upgrade to conveyor belts with walls and use unions to improve flow.
12:20 - 13:25
14. Placing Resources in Furnaces and Preventing Slag Ingots
- ✅ Crushed iron and copper ore are placed in the corresponding furnaces.
- ⚠️ If iron, copper, and coal are mixed in the same furnace, slag ingots will be created, which have no value and can damage the polishing machine.
13:26 - 14:00
15. Activating Miners and Final Setup
- ✅ The miners are activated to start production.
- ✅ Crushed coal is placed in the coal furnace.
14:01 - 16:25
16. System Verification and Optimization Tips
- ✅ It is verified that the iron is separated correctly.
- ✅ A problem is identified with the mixing of copper and iron, resulting in the creation of slag.
- ✅ The importance of using conveyor belts with walls and better separation systems is highlighted.
- ✅ It is emphasized that this configuration is for the initial stages of the game.
- ✅ It is mentioned that the use of ducts, conveyor belts with walls, and unions will significantly improve efficiency.
- ✅ It is verified that iron and copper are processed correctly and that money is accumulating.
