Post The Chicken Shack is open.

In an attempt to insure a steady supply of chicken, I got to building another ludicrous machine.

At Savanna spawn, toward the giant building is the Chicken Shack. I’ll keep an eye on the supply, but hopefully it will be self sustaining unless you all hit it really hard.

Current price is 1 gold bar for a “stack” of chicken. It’s actually only 63 due to a quirk of redstone. You can put more than one bar in if you want more than one stack of chicken. The chicken will be delivered to the same dropper where you put the gold bar. It will take a moment to deliver the whole stack so be patient.

Nice! I have something similar in my new base but its not working as efficient as I thought it would!
Great work!

I’m not sure what the long term efficiency will be. There is some item leakage, not sure if it is the glass up front or something else; and there is (naturally) a bit that gets lost to the lava itself. I will be keeping an eye on things to see if it is keeping up with demand. The good news is that since it’s in the spawn chunks (until we move spawn again) it won’t need someone there to keep it running, it should run 24/7.

Just make sure to check the stock light before you buy, as long as it’s on there should be enough in the system. If there are any problems in that regard, let me know and I’ll issue refunds/replacements 😉

1 gold ingot for a stack of your infinitely restocking chicken?

Hey Az!

I had some troubles with your machine this afternoon. I went there and the light was on, placed 1 gold ingot and then I heard some pistones going nuts and it only gave me 4 pieces. The light also switched off as soon as I placed in the gold. A minute later the light switched back on, so I placed in another gold ingot and got nothing… I hope you can fix it by this description!

The difficulty I’m facing is that the shop was designed to only spit out a few things. I’m pushing the design to spit out a stack so the inventory light is a bit inaccurate. I’m also struggling to keep up with demand as well.

I’m sorry about the problems, poke me when you see me and I will happily get you a refund.

Also, Spork found out a little design feature that I put in. Under the floor in front of the chicken viewing window are hoppers. They were put in to catch the chicken bits that tend to fly out of the front of the machine. However, if you drop anything there, it gets sucked in as well. Should anyone have that problem, just let me know and I will get the stuff out of the machine. Unless you drop feathers or chicken it will land in the overflow chest.

I appreciate everyone’s patience while I try to work out the bugs in the system. After a bit of research it isn’t sitting in the spawn chunks so I’m struggling to keep it producing enough. I’m going to have to talk to jack about repositioning it into the spawn chunks somewhere so the supply keeps building even if someone isn’t nearby.
