AUTOMATED COBBLESTONE GENERATOR | SKY FACTORY 2.5 | EPISODE 4

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create an automated cobblestone generator in Sky Factory 2.5 using transfer nodes. This setup will significantly speed up your gameplay by automating the cobblestone collection process, allowing you to focus on other tasks.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Materials

To build the automated cobblestone generator, you will need the following materials:

• Cobblestone: Obtain by mining or creating a cobblestone generator.
• Heavy Oak Silk Mesh: Crafted from string and logs.
• Transfer Nodes: Requires ender pearls, redstone, stone, and chests.
• Lava and Water: Essential for the generator.

Practical Tips

• AFK (Away From Keyboard) for a while to gather enough cobblestone before starting.
• Use a hammer to break cobblestone into gravel for additional resources.

Step 2: Craft Heavy Oak Silk Mesh

1. Open your crafting table.
2. Place 4 silk meshes in the crafting grid to create a heavy oak silk mesh.
3. Collect the heavy oak silk mesh.

Common Pitfalls

• Ensure you have enough string to create the silk meshes. Gather more if necessary.

Step 3: Set Up the Generator

1. Place your heavy oak silk mesh in a suitable location.
2. Create a crafting table nearby for convenience.
3. Compress gravel into compressed gravel for efficiency.

Step 4: Create Transfer Nodes

1. Gather Resources: You will need:
   • 1 Ender Pearl
   • 1 Block of Redstone
   • 2 Stone
   • 1 Chest
2. Craft Transfer Nodes:
   • Use the crafting table to combine the required materials.
   • Each transfer node will allow you to automate the cobblestone collection.

Explanation of Transfer Nodes

Transfer nodes are blocks that allow for the movement of items between different inventories. They can be set to pull items from adjacent blocks or inventories.

Step 5: Automate the Cobblestone Collection

1. Place your transfer node where the cobblestone will form.
2. Connect it to a chest or barrel using transfer pipes.
3. Make sure to have a source block of lava and water to create cobblestone.

Additional Enhancements

• Use speed upgrades in your transfer nodes to increase the speed of item collection.
• Set up multiple transfer nodes to handle larger volumes of cobblestone.
