Mr. Bones Unethical Iron Co.

[Lazybones]

Mr. Bones (AKA Bag0Bones) would like to offer his services for those in need of iron.

Do you have a large rail project? Maybe you simply need some new armor... Mr. Bones is happy to help you fulfill your iron needs.

Please reply to this advertisement below with your order, and offer of trade.




*Mr. Bones does not wish to answer questions about the origin of the iron or the working conditions within his factory... He also advices everyone to stay away from his manufacturing facility as it is prone to sudden surges of zombies. Please note that Mr. Bones facility is not self serve and production yields are not yet meeting expectations and that supplies are limited to what is currently stored on hand.

Update:

I am please to report that damages incurred during our facility upgrade months ago have been repaired and iron production has resumed. Also due to factory redesign we no longer appear to have zombie problems.

If you are in need of iron for community building projects please send me a note.

[Mr. Analog]

Whoa!

[Tom]

Haha, Nice!

[Thorin]

Excellent.  Time to start storing the iron as blocks

Also, I have done so damn much mining I have more iron than that, but it took me a hella long time!

So, how would we have it make more iron if you're not around, would we just need to be close to the iron farm?

[Lazybones]

Ya, with hoppers you no longer have to stand in the output, just close enough to activate it.

However it is inconveniently located but for good reason, it won't work if the area that defines the village changes too much. This is why it is isolated.

Been idling in there but seem to be kicked offline with some frequency so production is low.

[Mr. Analog]

I love hoppers, such a great addition to the game

Now if they only had automatic crafting benches

To go with hoppers we need tubes/pipes. You can move items horizontally and down with hopper chains, and up with droppers, but it is really in efficient.

[Thorin]

Up with droppers?  How would that work?

I would have to go back to the video but I believe they can pull from an inventory below them, so they can be used to raise items one level and spit them out... Attached to a clock they can shift things up.

Google "mincraft items up dropper"

[Thorin]

Yeah, I looked it up.  A dropper can spit things upwards.  If there's a dropper on top of the dropper spitting things upwards, the things go into the dropper that's sitting on top.  Works pretty neat.

[Lazybones]

Hmm this is near zero effort production but it would be much faster if I didn't get disconnected so often.. Need to figure out why my sessions keep ending...

Kinda random, sometimes I will leave it for hours and have 5 or more stacks of iron, other times maybe two before I get kicked off.

Might need to design a new base around on one of these so it is easier to keep the chunks loaded while near other players doing stuff.

[Lazybones]

Ran all day today after updating optifine and forge.... might have been a bug in one of them.. Also removed Journey map.

[Tom]

Good to hear.

[Thorin]

So...  Are you planning to build something out of iron blocks, then?
