behold, my massive fucking moonshine factory (in minecraft for legal reasons)
so basically, i've been goofing around with the create mod the last few weeks and i installed quite a few addons to add way more content. one of these addons, "destroy", adds chemistry and stuff. but that's not important, all that matters is that it adds ILLEGAL LIQOUR BREWING
knowing me, i'd of course spend almost a week or two building a 100% fully automatic moonshine brewery and distillery.
the only thing that isn't completely automated is the heat from the blaze burners of the steam engine that powers this behemoth, which have been fed with creative blaze cakes so i don't have to build a blaze fuel farm too (i'll do it at some point)
here's some screenshots
and here's a top-down view, with and without legend
Steam Engine (absolute beast, provides power to the entire factory)
Emergency Waterwheels (in case the steam engine overstresses, i can disconnect it from the main mechanism and start it up using these, no need to restart it up manually)
Ingredient Sorter, Left Wing
Ingredient Sorter, Right Wing
Aging Barrels, Left Wing
Aging Barrels, Right Wing
Water Pumps (collect water for the moonshine)
Distillation Bubble Cap Mechanisms (three of them for maximum liquor potence)
Final Fluid Tank (stores fully-distilled moonshine before it is bottled)
Automatic Cobblestone Generator
Cobblestone Crushers (two sets of crushing wheels per belt, one crushing cycle turns cobble into gravel, the second turns gravel into sand)
Bulk Blaster (create mod's equivalent of a super-smelter. smelts all of the sand into glass)
Mechanical Crafters (craft glass into glass bottles)
Bottling Station (spouts sploosh moonshine into the freshly crafted bottles)
Final Storage Vault (where the bottled moonshine finally ends up. has a storage space so massive it'll basically never stop growing)
Automatic Wheat Farm (wheat is one of two ingredients for moonshine, uses a gantry carriage contraption to sweep the mature crops and then deposits them into the vault sorting system)
Seed Composters (uses the leftover seeds from the wheat farm to make bone meal for the mushroom farm)
Semi-Automatic Mushroom Farm (relies on the wheat farm for bone meal, but besides that, is fully automatic. repeatedly plants a mushroom, bone meals it into a giant shroom, then cuts it down with a mechanical saw to get more shrooms in return)
Mushroom Crusher (grinds mushrooms into bricks of yeast, the other ingredient in moonshine, then flings it into the yeast vault)
Wheat Vault (stores wheat until it's time for another brewing cycle)
Yeast Vault (stores yeast until it's time for another brewing cycle)
Wheat Farm Sorting System (wheat is deposited into the wheat vault, seeds are flung into the mushroom farm's composters, and any other items that might've ended up there by mistake are incinerated)
Distilled Water Disposal Pipe (transports any leftover water from the moonshine distillation into the steam engine, thus getting rid of it)
Catwalk Elevator (thought it'd be cool to have a lift bring you up to some catwalks above the whole factory, so i made it)
