Yes I found this very annoying with wavetechs current furnace array design, it was especially noticable when we smelted all of that ancient debris.

@@cubicmetre 3:17 What key did you hold down to get all of those porkchop stacks without clicking?

@@benjaminlandry6586 you pick up the item and hold down middle click and drag it

@@cubicmetre in rare occasions occasions the items is smelted to late to get picked up by the minecarts. Can you add more delay to the repeater line before items are getting picked up from the minecarts or does this mess up the whole system?

@@marvinlemmer9733 It shouldn't be doing this, make sure the furnaces are empty and there are no stray items anywhere after building it. We have experienced similar issues when pasting the array in on our creative server so we had to run it a few times and replace the furnaces with world edit to remove the errors created by pasting.

Do you have any idea on what is going on in the shoulder loaders?

That’s why I recommend cubicmetre to everyone that is learning redstone.

did you ever get it to work on a server? i build it on paper server and the collection cart doesnt seem to pick up all items, with random leftovers here and there in hoppers. sometimes up to 12 backed up! double checked schematica and still cant get it to work properly

One of the most underrated redstoners out there. Too good

@@vinicus508 all the redstoners are underrated :')

@@rxyc Untrue. Some are overrated even. Some people see Mumbo as the best of the best...

@@vinicus508 true but that's like a fraction of redstoners if you ask me, majority is underrated

@@rxyc Yes, it's sad.

Pushing button didn't out coal out, but manually loading 1 in each made it work great for me.

My mega furnace array already uses 8x hopper speed box loading, which is the max speed for auto box loading because you simply run out of surfaces to put droppers that feed the shulker. For reference an 8x box loader uses 4x droppers.

@@cubicmetre how about breaking the shulker box wiith tnt?:D

Thats good, I recently replaced the schematic with a fully setup array with a working input. The one in the video did not have a working input.

@@cubicmetre Speaking of working input... I'm struggling to understand why I can't fire the system to start when there is no fuel in the chest that feeds into the chest minecart. ex. There is fuel in the chest minecart ready to go, there are items in the chest minecart ready to be smelted, press the button and it doesn't go. It only goes is there is fuel in the double chest that feeds into the fuel chest minecart. I don't know if this is by design or I did something wrong. Please help. Everything looks perfect vs the Litematica Thank you! ***Correction, It only fires if there is fuel in the HOPPER that is feeding down into the fuel chest minecart!***

C?

Yeah, I was kinda surprised he didn't utilize the boat chest in minecart feature to load more furnaces at once, but ig in this context that isn't really neccecary or useful. It kinda relies on the hopper minecarts after all

@@DialecticRed using the chest boats isnt helpful.

@@inspectortalon That's what I was saying, not in this situation. They can be helpful in other contexts tho, or in furnace arrays built specifically around that feature (like the one Ilmango made)

@@DialecticRed ehh, i think most of the time their not that great tbh.

@@DialecticRed for the one mango made, it would be better to just use a chest cart.

Renewable lava wasn't a thing in 2020 yet. Damn bamboo lasting like 2 seconds as fuel! There was needed like 78 bamboo plants to keep a furnace 100% uptime burnin.

The reason for using coal/charcoal is the burn time doesn't waste too much fuel if you are only doing one or two smelting operations. The more burn time the fuel has the less efficient the array will be for smaller smelting operations. However you can use kelp blocks if you adjust the timings to match the burn time of the kelp blocks.

He posted all his major projects on his channel and even some projects he didn’t design all by himself. (He joined the server relatively recently)

Trolle has a few good tour videos on his channel, and I showcased one or two locations in a recent vid on mine as well but trolle's is waaay better

I will start building big one now and wait for 1.19

I think this could be fixed simply by adding a item counter at the input, once 8*[amount of furnaces in array] is met the hopper under the chest will be unlocked & a timer will start so that there is exactly enough time to take x amount of items (for a 64 furnace array, that'd be a hopper clock of 512 ticks (assuming 1 item per tick)). This will also prevent items being added while the input is dispensing into the array from wasting fuel. Edit: You could also add the same system for the fuel (1* instead of 8 for coal) that way it won't start until you have the fuel required. To link the counters together just add a AND gate.

@@akaEch0 Yup, that would be the easy way to build a smelting array that doesn't waste fuel. The downside would be that you can't smelt less than 512 items (in your example case), unless you fill the shortage with cheap smelting operations, like cobble/ logs/ cacti.

@@Pystro I rather do that than waste fuel.

While lava is theoretically a much better fuel than coal, I'm not sure there's way to automate removing the empty bucket once the lava is used up by a furnace.

did you ever find a solution to this issue? i seem to have the same

@@ploxl1441same here…

I’ve got the same problem… did you ever find out what was wrong?

@@spartan.6084 Sorry, no. Never did. One of the guys on our server is a Redstone Whisperer so he did some things and changed some other things and now it's working, but there is nothing I could point to for you. Sorry.

@@CapNJunkie ahh thanks for answering though! I figured it out with the requirement that I have to press the button twice after collecting and end up getting everything!

The problem is that blast furnaces and smokers are useless for most if not almost all operations where you want to smelt a very large amount of items quickly. First of all, smelting large amounts of food is rather useless, unless you are playing a kind of gimick of trying to obtain different food types for the sake of it you can get any cooked meat from an automated farm that simply burns the animals. Making the smoker mostly useless except for the a specialised kelp cooker, in which case you would build a specialised furnace array for that application with completely different parameters. The blast furnace is also useless for most bulk smelting jobs, as the only items that can be blast smelted are stuff like ores that are not renewable and take a lot of effort to obtain in the first place. Making the blast furnace kind of a joke, especially given that the most common uses for furnace arrays is smelting glass, cobble, basalt and any kind of decorative block with a smelting recipe, all of which cannot be used in blast furnaces (even though it would make perfect sense if they could) or smokers. Making these types of furnaces useless for the vast majority of cases.

@@cubicmetre Thanks, that makes sense! I was primarily thinking of mass smelting raw ore after an extended mining season with fortune but I've realized that when you'd go mining it would be for the raw ores themselves as iron & gold farms are extremely easy to build. I see how it's pretty niche and not worth the design time.

you can use wood planks for smelting a single stack

@@joevdb9232 but if you smelt the logs you get twice as much burn time compaired to crafting them in to planks

i think if you reduce the amount of items in the hopper clock, it should work. coal smelts for 10 secs and 100 items were used (i think) so 10 * [number of seconds the fuel smelts for] might work

Bamboo burns too quickly to be practical as a fuel for such a large furnace array
