Introduction

In this Minecraft Sky Factory tutorial, we will learn how to automate obsidian production. This guide will build upon a previous tutorial on automating lava production. We will cover everything from setting up the cobblestone generator to configuring the item extraction cables. By the end of this tutorial, you will have an infinite source of obsidian at your disposal.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather the materials required for this setup:

• Automated users (at least three)
• Dispenser
• Gold ingots (two)
• Magma block
• Obsidian (three)
• Simple combustion generators
• Stone (four pieces)
• Iron ingots (three)
• Furnace
• Block of redstone
• Item extraction cables (for iron nuggets)
• Dropper
• Weighted pressure plate
• Infinite water source
• Basic plating (210 ingots)
• Water buckets (two)
• Cobblestone generator (any tier)
• Glass
• Cauldron
• Torches
• Chests

Setting up the Cobblestone Generator

To start, we need to assemble the cobblestone generator. Place a torch on the ground and shift+right click to place a cauldron on top of it. This will be our starting point. Next, build the cobblestone generator adjacent to the cauldron. Make sure it is facing towards the cauldron. Once done, remove the cauldron.

Creating the Automated Users

Now, let's create the automated users. Place one automated user on top of the cobblestone generator, facing towards the cauldron. Set the user to require redstone for activation. On the opposite side, place another automated user facing the same direction. Use the shift+right click to turn it off. Finally, place a third automated user facing away from the other two.

Powering the Combustion Generators

To power the setup, we need to place three simple combustion generators. Place them on top of the cobblestone generator structure. Next, add chests on top of each generator. Connect the chests to the combustion generators using item extraction cables. This will allow the combustion generators to access the items stored in the chests.

Configuring the Item Extraction Cables

Now, let's configure the item extraction cables. Take two extraction cables and connect them to the automated user facing the infinite water source. Set this cable to whitelist and add a bucket to it. This will ensure that only buckets are taken from this user. Next, connect another extraction cable to the automated user facing the cauldron. Again, set it to whitelist and add obsidian to the list. This cable will only take obsidian from this user.

Testing the Setup

With everything in place, it's time to test the setup. Activate the cobblestone generator and combustion generators. You should see lava filling up in one of the automated users. Next, activate the automated user facing the infinite water source. This will start the process of creating obsidian. The obsidian will be deposited in the chest connected to the extraction cable. Empty buckets will be returned to the automated user for reuse.

Using the Infinite Obsidian Generator

Congratulations! You now have an infinite source of obsidian. You can use this obsidian for various purposes in Minecraft. Make sure to keep the combustion generators fueled with wood or other combustible materials to keep the process running smoothly.

Tips and Maintenance

• Consider using wireless transfer nodes to automate the fueling of the combustion generators.
• Connect the output chest to a storage system for easy access to the generated obsidian.
• Regularly check and refill the wood or combustible material in the combustion generators to ensure uninterrupted production.

Conclusion

Automating obsidian production in Minecraft Sky Factory can greatly enhance your gameplay experience. With this setup, you'll never run out of obsidian again. Enjoy the convenience of an infinite obsidian generator, and let your creativity run wild in the Minecraft universe.
