Overlays:

Geology & Metals

Y=4 to Y=18 | Primary material engine: cobble, iron, stone, sand, andesite & brass

Role: Maintenance Height: 15b (11 clear)

▲ NORTH (Airship Dock / Approach Pier) ▲

Dedicated Line Shared / Job Shop Player Area Core / Vertical

Chunk size: 16×16 blocks

Dedicated Iron Line

Floor B4 (Y=4 to 18)

Bulk Line

Functional Description

Cobble → gravel → washing → iron nuggets + flint, with nugget compacting and stock-controlled clutch shutdown.

Key Machines & Components

Crushing Wheels Encased Fans + Water Mechanical Press Stock Link

Inputs / Inbound: Direct Cobble from A1

Outputs / Outbound: Iron Ingots → Storage, Flint → C2

Engineering Directive & Bootstrap Note

Build this line as one of the first permanent machines. It recursively cheapens every subsequent floor.

Material Flow Strategy: Dedicated Bulk vs Shared Job-Shop

Continuous High-Volume: Dedicated belts/chutes to avoid congesting the package network.
Intermittent / Recipe-Heavy: Create 6 Packager/Repackager hub with addressable job-shop destinations.

🪨 Geology & Iron Chain

Floor B4 (Y=4)

1. Cobblegen (A1): Stationary drill into open vault

↓ (Direct dedicated belt split)

2. Iron Line (B1): Crush to Gravel → Bulk Fan Wash → Nuggets & Flint

↓

3. Andesite Alloy (C2): Gravel + Flint + Lava → Andesite + Iron → Alloy

📦 Job-Shop Package Network

Floor B2 (Y=34)

Packager Hub (B3 Y=49): Routes recipe orders via B2 Vertical Trunk

↓ (Address-based dispatch)

MFG-CRAFT (A1): 3×3 Universal Crafter with recipe-aware packages

↓

MFG-SEQ (A3): Precision mechanism & electron tube assembly line

✨ Experience & Enchanting

Floor B5 (Y=-11)

XP Module (A1): 1-Chunk generator with silverfish/infested stone

↓ (Fluid XP conversion)

Bulk Tanks (B1): Liquid XP reservoir + Stone-brick buffer

↓ (Dedicated vertical fluid pipe)

Player Salon (Y=72): Concealed Experience Hatch at enchanting table

🌾 Biological Production

Floor B3 (Y=19)

Gantry Tree Farm (A1): Logs to storage; surplus to planks/charcoal

Kelp Saws (B1): Stationary saw array → Target drying → Belts

Crop Bays (C1/C3): Modular wet/dry beds → Pantry request view (Y=64)

⚓ Airship Logistics

Ground B1 / B1 A1

North Mast (B1): 4 Interfaces (Items, Fluids, FE, Redstone)

Cargo Intake (A1 Y=49): Shulkers, ores, non-renewable Zinc imported

Brass Production: Mined Zinc + Copper → B3 Y=4 Foundry (Conserved)

🔥 Power Generation Bus

Floor B7 (Y=-41)

Black-Start Drive (A2): Water wheel drives boiler pumps independently

↓

Steam Plant (A1/B1): Fuel → Upgradable to New Age Solar/Nuclear heat

↓

Dual Bus in B2 Core: Separate Utility bus vs Heavy Production bus

Create 6 Stock Threshold & Hysteresis Preset

Stock Link Rules

Select Production Asset:

Recommended Low Target: 512 items (8 stacks)

Recommended High Target: 2,048 items (32 stacks)

Clutch & Throttle Logic:

Enable Redstone Link with Hysteresis: Clutch turns OFF machine when buffer reaches 2,048. Machine remains off until buffer drops below 512, avoiding contraption stutter.
