Automating clay/brick production
I'm trying to automate the production of bricks in Minecraft Agrarian Skies.
I can produce clay blocks no problem (wooden barrel + water via fluiduct + dust via ME export bus), and obviously I can produce bricks from clay balls (redstone furnace + clay ball via ME interface).
What I'm struggling with is automating the production of clay balls from blocks.
Putting the blocks in the pulverizer doesn't seem to work, and there doesn't seem to be either a way to make bricks from clay blocks or another easy way to make clay balls themselves.
The best solution I've come up with is to spawn the clay block into the world (via e.g. an autonomous activator) and smash it (with e.g. a terrain smasher).
Is there an easier way to automate the production of clay balls without putting clay blocks into the world?
Best Answer
I'm pretty sure that a Terrain Smasher-Autonomous Activator setup is your only option here. Agrarian Skies doesn't have quite as many mods as Monster, so there simply aren't as many options for processing.
The good thing is that clay breaks quite quickly so processing it through the terrain smasher shouldn't be particularly slow. Also, the first stage of filling the containers and waiting for the dust to become clay takes about as long as to break clay with your hands, so there should be no waiting on the Terrain Smasher setup.
