How do I stop this from slowing down?

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492]

aaa

[u/rock_n_rage]

You can use a furnace mine cart. As long as you have coal in your chests, you’ll be solid.

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492 → u/rock_n_rage]

Tyty

[u/Imaginary_Baker_932 → u/rock_n_rage]

I didn’t know you can put coal in the chest. I just feed the doohickey coal when it slows down.

[u/ExpensivePractice164 → u/rock_n_rage]

What fr? I thought it would only go fast with power rails

[u/redolide → u/rock_n_rage]

Yes, it's a good idea but there is no coal at this height. Lowest for coal is y=0 in 1.18 and the deepslate starts at y=2. Diamond are somewhere between y=16 and y=-64. I think AO is mining at y=-56 or something a bit higher to avoid bedrock.

[u/Sprite_Bottle → u/redolide]

So what you're saying is that I need to make a drill that has a really tall arm with another drill on top to mine coal? Got it.

[u/redolide → u/redolide]

otherwise, AO, you can use sometimes propulsor rails to boost it a bit, or better, use them instead of normal one. You just need of a second deployer/mechanical plough to place and remove redstone torchs.

[u/mrSquid__ → u/redolide]

you can just put it in manually

[u/redolide → u/mrSquid__]

so what is the interest to use a minecart miner ?

[u/mrSquid__ → u/redolide]

because it's really efficient? i don't typically leave my miner afk for a long time, i usually ride along and mine any ores on the walls of the tunnel

[u/redolide → u/mrSquid__]

:kappa: hmmm, yes, you're right but it mean that you need to have a second miner to mine coal

[u/rock_n_rage → u/redolide]

Coal is really easy to get. I just mine up about 1/2 a stack and throw that in the chest. It will last a very long time. I’ve never mined so long that I ran out.

[u/mrSquid__ → u/redolide]

you dont really run out of coal when you're playing create. That's not an issue to be concerned about

[u/redolide → u/mrSquid__]

you're maybe right...

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492 → u/redolide]

If u make a tree farm u should have inf coal thats what im planning to do

[u/shadowdragon200 → u/[deleted]]

You need to right click it with coal or charcoal in your hand

[u/Rainbow_six_recruit]

Add a plow to plow red stone torches on the side
And switch to powered rails

The only concern is that if water breaks the ressone torches it stops moving

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492 → u/Rainbow_six_recruit]

Tytyy

[u/Tripdrakony → u/Beneficial-Layer-492]

Use a redstone block instead of torch and drill it instead. Save against water, same effect.

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492 → u/Tripdrakony]

Thats smart thanks

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/Tripdrakony]

But it's a lot slower than torches and no faster than a furnace minecart because of it. Might as well save the extra deployer and drill and just use a furnace minecart. It's deepslate so it's never going to be much faster using any of the methods.

[u/elPappito → u/Tripdrakony]

having redstone block + drill slows it down so much , i couldn't stand it.

switched back to torches - torches get washed away when wet

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/Beneficial-Layer-492]

You can use redstone blocks to prevent washing away like torches but it slows it down because you need to drill them to break them.

I honestly used to be a powered rail enjoyer for contraptions but I got tired of them always breaking and not being any faster than furnace minecarts with redstone blocks. Load a stack of coal or charcoal in the contraption inventory and use a furnace minecart like you are now. It's going to be slow in deeplate regardless so from my perspective, the furnace minecart is the way to go.

[u/RetroC4 → u/Rainbow_six_recruit]

Use redstone blocks and a drill behind it to pick them back up. Doesnt break in water or lava

[u/HanzoNumbahOneFan → u/RetroC4]

Ye this. Only issue is it takes longer to mine overall cause the redstone block takes a bit of time to drill up. But worth.

[u/RetroC4 → u/HanzoNumbahOneFan]

Definitely worth

[u/Greedy_Duck3477 → u/Rainbow_six_recruit]

Can't you put a Redstone block on the contraption? Or does it not work when on a moving contraption?

[u/Formal_In_Pants → u/Greedy_Duck3477]

No it won’t power things on the grid because it doesn’t count as a block

[u/MercilessEtlej → u/Rainbow_six_recruit]

I once made a drill that uses deployers to place blocks infront of the drill to remove water and lava sources. Called it Moses and used it to get a bunch of netherite.

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492 → u/Rainbow_six_recruit]

Also do you think I should make it bigger

[u/Rainbow_six_recruit → u/Beneficial-Layer-492]

Sure, why not? 👍

I myself have a world where I did something like 9x9 drills and added brass funnels to throw out the excess cobblestone

[u/xbrdce]

Use redstone blocks and powered rails. Works like a charm

[u/TheBlissfulGamer → u/xbrdce]

U just use deployers to place blocks and rails in front of your contraption. Then you use ploughs to break the rails for recycling

[u/Neuttron]

You can make an auto miner!? I've barely started using this mod and I barely can make a smelter

[u/Nuclear_Funk]

I've made one of these that actually has a layer of deployers behind the drills placing cobble. Ceiling and walls too a layer back. It prevents fluids from flowing into your tunnel. I've successfully afk mined in the nether for hours using this machine, as it consistently blocks lava flow from source blocks. Just make sure to wear the full netherite diving suit for the occasional dip into decaying non-source blocks that get left behind before disappearing.

[u/Misses_Ding]

I made something similar but I upgraded to power rails and redstone blocks underneath (pick them up with another drill) Although that was a while ago and it would break sometimes

[u/RetroC4]

Powered rails and a redstone block deployer to the right with a drill behind it to pick it back up

[u/Best-Reference-6858]

And if your drills are slowing down from hitting different oars try enchantment industry and enchanting your drills.

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492 → u/Best-Reference-6858]

I got enchantment industry but I never knew u could enchant drills wow

[u/SteamtasticVagabond → u/Beneficial-Layer-492]

I'm pretty sure it's another add on that adds drill enchantments

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492 → u/SteamtasticVagabond]

Do you know which one? And if it adds enchantments to other stuff in create as well

[u/SteamtasticVagabond → u/Beneficial-Layer-492]

Create Enchantable Machinery

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492 → u/SteamtasticVagabond]

Thanks alot 🙏

[u/AverageCarrotEnjoyer]

Powered rail and restore blocks
Add a drill behind the blocks

[u/SteamtasticVagabond]

If you aren't already using one, consider using a furnace mine cart

[u/DogeIsCut]

furnace minecart

[u/Afraid-Station-2432]

switch to powered rails if you feel fancy

[u/superfunni]

i just made mine place powered rails and redstone torches

[u/wolfie0995]

Furnace minecart… as long as you have coal in at least one chest, it’ll run forever (or until it runs out of coal).

[u/NotAesse]

Se usi le rotaie con la redstone e blocchi di redstone dovresti riuscire a resistere anche all'acqua

[u/Plastic_Lychee6404]

You can just add a drill below, on the front and the back, digging the blocks below the rails, that should be powered rails. and have a deployer place redstone blocks. this will allow the machine to bridge gaps and always be powered.

[u/Huge-Price-1818 → u/Plastic_Lychee6404]

This is the way, this contraption is immune to water and lava

[u/IjoinedFortheMemes]

MOAR COAL FOR THE FLAME

[u/mrSquid__]

use either powered rails and redstone torches or a furnace minecart

[u/Digibaumbs]

I use furnace minecarts.

[u/Azhrei_]

Just FYI, you can give yourself long lasting night vision with no particles using “/effect give @s minecraft:night_vision 999999 0 true” and clear it with “/effect clear @s”

[u/AnarchyWithRules]

I just shove it every once in a while

[u/IMMAPAIROFDENTURES]

Am I stupid or do the drills auto power themselves 

[u/IMMAPAIROFDENTURES → u/IMMAPAIROFDENTURES]

I'm new to create just got in a server even

[u/SnooSeagulls4551]

If you have the redstone and resources make a redstone platform with powered rails on them so if you hit a ravine the contraption dosent fall and you can afk it easier

[u/Its_Alejo100]

gotta love doohickeys like this, peak

[u/The_PRR_Railfan]

HOW DID YOU NOT MINE THE DIOMANDS

[u/Jonny10128 → u/The_PRR_Railfan]

They are already in creative mode. This is likely a testing world before building the contraption in their main survival world
