Biggerest Gold farm on EMC

  1. Hey all!

    While I had been planning a supersized gold farm for several months, Samsimx's post motivated me to kick it in gear, with a design that works. I had several portal based designs built in single player, but none of them satisfied me. The cost of perfection is infinite, so Sam let me use his design, and I have Doubled the size of his (as of his most recent post).







    Lets talk a bit more about some features, the farm consists of 1344 max sized nether portals, producing a calculated, ~60 pigmen per second. The farm offers a passive killing option, via fall damage, or a redstone triggered dispensing system to a collection system, that funnels them to 2 killing chambers. due to the mob cap, the active killing system operates at ~60% production capacity of the passive system. (based on looting 4 drop tables, this means that the farm is producing 15% the # of pigmen)

    The drop collection system is split into 4 systems, 2 sides for the active and 2 sides for the active. The passive sorters have enough storage for 20 hours of AFK, and is placed right next to 2 banks of 16 villagers. Each active sorter boasts a dropper sorter chain that is twice as fast as a hopper chain, leading to a lava disposal system for the swords. This system is not perfect, and will back up after about 30 minutes of killing. I have a dual channel dropper chain sorter designed that I have not implemented, but will in the future.





    Now, for some stats:

    resources used:
    ~ 20DCs of obsidian used
    ~ 8DCs of birch trap doors
    ~ like 10 stacks of turtle eggs (I broke so many)

    passive production rates: (tested)
    ~ 1 DC of gold blocks per 24 hours (its technically more)
    ~ produces enough flesh for 1 DC of emerald blocks per 6 DCs of gold blocks produced

    active production rates: (extrapolated)
    ~ 1 DC of gold blocks per 14 hours (haven't actually sat there killing for 14 hours)
    ~ produces enough flesh for 1 DC of emerald blocks per 5 DCs of gold blocks produced

    So uh, yeah that's the farm.

    As Sam did, I will continue his precedent and all my designs are free to use, and I will be happy to explain them to anyone who asks!

    ninja edit: yes there are further plans to expand... I will not divulge past that.
  2. I'm really impressed with your hard work Bunjimon.

    I remember beginning my first job for you, the one where you had me level that island. On the first day of the job, not a single block of this gold farm had been placed yet. As I was busy ripping apart the island, you were busy at work building a massive gold farm. I even remember you asking me to help you light up a good amount of those portals too! Your project has really taken off my guy, and your hard work is really reflected in your creation here! :)

    I took a visit to it today to repair my tools and I was surprised how modern it looks now! :eek: I remember the first design you had. It was okay, but I really like it's new appearance more! :D

  3. Yeah this is valid, though i've only been selling about 25% of the gold produced, the rest is being kept for my own purposes :p

  4. It’s always cool to see what creations sprout up from everyone else. This gold farm isn’t just humongous, but the appearance is designed well too. And with stats like those, you must be craving delicious hot gold bars.

    Thank you for sharing, Bunjimon! May the server tremble beneath this behemoth you’ve created. :p
  5. thank you!

    While I follow a function over form philosophy in most of my builds, I always attempt to make stuff symmetrical and at least pleasing to the eye.

    I will make sure to share any further behemoths I make!
  6. Is this for public use?

  9. Not for public use at the moment. I have some considerations for constructing a public use on in the future (6-12 months)

  11. Interestingly enough i don't, I initially expected to, but that evidently was unfounded. i do get misc lag frame freezes but outside of that nothing significant.
