They can be used to transport water to the lonely combustion engine, but first you'll need a pump. Place the pipe waterproof above some cobblestone pipes in the crafting table to get waterproof cobblestone pipes. Put the cactus green into your crafting table and you'll get some pipe waterproof. Collect some cacti and smelt them in the furnace to get cactus green. For that we'll need a new type of pipe, the waterproof pipe. I decided to use redstone engines because they are easier to maintain.Īs mentioned, if the engine overheats it will explode, so let's add an automatic cooling system. Now you can power your filled combustion engine with a redstone torch and watch your quarry mining. So place a wooden conductive pipe onto your combustion engine and continue the pipeline using stone conductive pipes to your quarry. Golden conductive pipes: If you have to conduct your energy over long distances use these pipes, because they lose only 0.01% of the energy per block.Stone conductive pipes: They are the normal energy transportation pipes - Don't use them over long distances because they lose 1% of the energy per pipe.

Wooden conductive pipes: They extract energy of an engine, they don't have to be powered by a redstone engine like the wooden pipe.There are three types of conductive pipes: To transport the power from the engines to the quarry use conductive pipes. Let's craft one of them and fill it with oil, lava or fuel and water by placing buckets in its GUI slots. Combustion engines are recommended as they are the most efficient, but they can explode violently if allowed to overheat. Like any machine the quarry needs energy to work, so you have to build some engines and connect them to the quarry. Add some cobblestone pipes to transport the mined stuff into your chest. Just craft a quarry and place it near your chest. Of course you don't have to spend time with the boring mining. If you attach a wooden pipe and redstone engine to the back of the furnace and run it to that same chest, you'll soon find that everything is waiting for you there, with all the smeltable items already processed. Try creating more filters so that only the items that you really want to smelt get into the furnace - The other items can be transported into another chest. Right click the diamond pipe and create your first filter by putting a piece of coal into the slot corresponding to the pipe attached to the bottom of the furnace. Because you have only one chest and don't want to separate the coal by hand, there's another pipe for this job, the diamond pipe. Simply attach a pipe to the bottom side of your furnace. Of course, your furnace is bound to run out of fuel and surely you have no intention of placing coal into your furnace manually, so you can automate this process as well. If you want to speed up the transport of your items you can add a golden pipe, which accelerates the items as they pass through (only when powered by redstone prior to version 3.2).
