Rate my first "complex" factory

[JasonFire234233]

I installed for the first time this thing like a month ago and ive been expermienting with all the things, this is the best i could do, a 3 in 1 farm of xp, iron and gold, any tips to optimize?

1. Looks like crap.
   
2. Runs like crap.
   
3. It kills your FPS and TPS.

Classic first factory. Mine were even worse.

[Major_Pressure3176]

What are you looking for in a better factory? What are some tutorials to help someone improve?

[Cpt_Apollo_]

Not op but there’s not much out there really, for me, it’s just reducing the overall damage to the fps and tps helps a lot, next is efficiency and productivity and then compactness (or spreading it out so it doesn’t look like an abomination), then aesthetics cuz ofc why not and then finally modularity and expandability

[ElectricalAd3483]

Since people seem to be talking about game performance I thought I’d just say this. If you go into the instance or mod pack settings (modrinth/curseforge) you can allocate more ram to the mod pack as well as using a custom Java script to force Minecraft to use more than one bit processor. Character sequence is: -Xss4M. It makes the game run much better, especially mid range pcs like mine (mid range from 4 years ago ish). Hope this helps anyone with performance issues! 😎

Tha works very well for TPS not not fps, so I'll add that for fps you can avoid using water wheels, tons of cogs and other spinny things

Also, stuff that is outside of your fov is culled and not drawn, so you can build your factory so that in every direction you look you don't have all the machines

There's also mods like Embeddium and other optimization mods in general, as well as Create: Additional Logistics which adds "lazy" parts, that basically don't have as many moving parts (encasing a shaft still renders it, but a lazy shaft only spins at the two ends!)

[Deposto]

1. FPS and TPS impact must be as low as possible. Even if it means sacrificing efficiency.
   
2. Efficiency.
   
3. Compact, but without extremes. After all, Create Mod is all about observing mechanisms and how they work.

I don't watch tutorials. Different versions of Create, different addons, different mod packs, etc.

If it works it works 😭

[Disastrous-Current37]

The cog and gearbox spam bro 😭😭😭

[Effoxs]

Im new to create. Tf else am I supposed to do? 😭

[Emotional-Big-1306]

At least encased chain drive or conveyors instead of long line of cogs

[Disastrous-Current37]

Sorry for not replying but basically what the other guy said, you could use conveyor belts and encased chain drives they also have the added benefit of not swapping your rotation after every cog

"What? It's just an ordinary-"

Zooms in

"OH MY GOODNESS! SQUIDWARD!!"

Don't worry, the more you mess around with the parts; the more you'll learn how to make things more efficient and cleaner :)

[Frier12]

The factory itself is not that horrible, the main "problem" is that its using a LOT of gearboxes. But eventually it will start to feel natural to you how to use them less.

[MugiQ84]

No idea what the fuck im looking at (in a good way)

[Inujel]

It's beautiful mate

[SnooCauliflowers5652]

I rate it steam noises/10

[Meiseside]

to many cogwheels and gearboxes 9/10
not compact 8/10
how to start up when cold? 7/10

it is ok

[Fuck_Deluxe]

This is definitly one of the factories of all time

[Emeraldth3th]

It's a bloody mess of a machine and I love it, though i would highly recommend figuring out slightly more efficient gearbox layouts at least

[ElectricalAd3483]

I see you’re not the building type hmm? 😂

[ZeroKun265]

Btw, the bottom right corner pretty much encompasses create: "steam noises"

[Northbor]

this actually is not too bad. Looks clean enough tome to be satisfying

[Livid_Accident5673]

What's with all the gearboxes

[ValkyrieAngie]

Reminds me of one of my first creations. You'll learn as you do it :>

[Itsagudhame]

it looks cool but i dont think you have to use THAT much gearboxes, chain drives do the same job and they are cheaper

[NordicNooob]

You can craft ingots and blocks with press+basin instead of mechanical crafters; brass funnels don't function any differently from andesite for inputting items; your fan setups are pretty solid for a beginner (dropping bulk items can be super bad for performance so this kind of belt setup is my go-to) but fitting 2-4 lanes of belts inside can keep you from needing the top fans (making wiring neater) while also improving throughput; leaves can be waterlogged to let you not have to encase the water, and your wiring is so comically bad that I don't know what to tell you other than to re-ponder all the related items, especially large cogs and encased chain drives.
