The tunnels I picked off along the sides of the main tunnel. The tunnel bore is hard at work at the end of the tunnel where it’s darker (too dark to be seen here).
I made the railroad factory and a small workshop for making industrial TNT. A few more tunnels were drilled for ores. I found it effective to also pickaxe several short tunnels off the main tunnel to check for ores as shown in the picture above. From what I see, a typical drilling delivers about 40 to 60 iron ores per trip.
Once I started research on the harvester and planter required to automate my farms, it got very complicated. I attempted a flowchart to help clarify what I needed, but it got so extensive that I decided against it. There was a certain machine, however, that proved—and I just knew—that these automation machines are far, far out of my reach at this current time: The magma crucible. Again, I need the nether bricks to complete it; which I have not found yet.
Besides, from the looks of it, I will need a network of ore processing, crafting, smelting, compressing, transporting—heck, an entire industry of factories to obtain just one automated machine.
Modern conveniences make our lives so easy but I seriously had no idea they are theoretically difficult to get. It makes me appreciate them more in real life.
So anyway, I’m going to focus on enabling myself to develop ore processing and mining machinery. However, I’ll first need a way to power them. The windmill won’t be enough. I already started work on the watermill power plant, but I know that won’t be enough too. Solar panels are impossible to gain obviously. So I have two energy options I’m aware of: Coal and oil.
Thankfully in the world of Minecraft, no skies will get polluted.
At any rate, I’ll need microchips…a lot of them; so that watermill will power mainly the research facility for them. I’ll need a ton of iron too, for making that oil/biodiesel generator and the systems that will go with it.
