Failing generator. So sad.

So my smoothstone generator isn't working. The lag isn't allowing the lava and water to meet and make stone. Any suggestions? I've tried slowing down the speed of my repeater clock but its not working.

 

Frozen Ninja might be able to help.

 

I don't think its the fault of my redstone. A standard cobblestone generator isnt' working as normal either. Takes ages for the cobblestone to re-appear.

 

I wouldn't know, the two people that would be the Redstone guys are kwilson7770 and Frozen Ninja =3

 

Thanks very much for taggin them

 

client-side lag?
also i need 9 repeaters fully pushed back to not have it glitch/bug out on me

 

Not sure. My ping was 16ms. Could you post a screenshot of yours? Then If I make it and it doesn't work then I guess its my side thats bust.

 

Falling lava and flowing water have different speeds and they can cause it to be "slow".
Also, the server is a bit slower/lagger at the moment, which causes for some Redstone not to work.

Furthermore, a cobble gen generates cobblestone fast than a stone gen because;
The cobble gen requires flowing lava and water to touch each other turning the flowing lava into cobble. This is faster because it turns the flowing lava to cobble fairly quickly and does need replace anything.

The stone gen requires flowing lava to drop on water turning the flowing water into stone. This is slow because it needs lava to drop on to water, so the water needs to be fast enough to flow under the lava before the lava drops onto water or it creates some problems.

You can do some Redstone which can make this go faster or I can show you how to make a different type of Stone generator.

 

best thing i can do for you is give you this:
fast stone generator

 

This is stone gen i created. Is there any reason other than server lag why it isn't working.

 

ok... how these work is a repeating current, when you use a switch, you rapidly turn it on and off once, it creates a current that will repeat and make the pistons push out each time.

not sure how well (or if at all) that works with a button....




another topic, texture packs. that beginning piece looks like cobble, what is being pushed out looks like stone...

In the one i created I made the exact circuit in the 2nd video. The first video i posted was just showing the speed for the lava and water to meet and make smoothstone

 

Its just pushing out the glass that was originally containing the water

 

I can make a pretty good stone gen, but it is pretty laggy when it is 100% complete so I would prefer getting 1 part of the stone gen. I could show you the stone gen if you are interested

 

If you want to show him, show him the stong gen on the second floor.

 

Mine or yours?

 

Just stop this by placing signs on the glass blocks.

Have you tried using 2 different sources of lava on the same water source. It's worked for me in the past, I think, it seems to improve the speed that it is generated.
But yes, I do agree that the lag on the server ruins the redstone. Timings are very inconsistent, repeaters seem to be very inconsistent. I've pretty much given up on redstone on this server, especially now that hoppers have stopped working.

 

So I've just finished building the one Isharkyfinn and frozen ninja showed me. Works very well. Although it seems to generate the odd cobblestone here and there

 

I hate generators in general lol.

 

This one is working very nicely
