Cobble Gen Galore

Adds block generator blocks for cobble and other block generators.

Adds7

Cobble Gen Galore adds seven block generators that turn water and lava into cobblestone and other stone, with no power and no fuel. On ATM10 each tier is crafted on its own from six of its material and two glass: the Copper Block Generator makes 4 cobblestone a second and the Iron Block Generator 8.

How to set up a block generator

Place the generator with Water on one side and Lava on the opposite side: north and south, or east and west. Source blocks work, and so does a tank holding the fluid.
Put a Chest, a Barrel or a Hopper on top. Once a second the generator pushes what it made into that block.
Leave the space under it empty for cobblestone. A block placed under it picks another recipe: granite under it makes granite.

Cobblestone, granite, diorite, andesite and tuff need nothing used up. Stone (water and lava over stone) uses the water and obsidian (over obsidian) uses the lava: a source block is removed after one block, and a tank is drained 1,000 mB for each one, so feed those two from a tank.

Every tier, its recipe and how fast it is

ATM10's config runs one cycle a second (tickRate 20). Each tier multiplies the recipe: cobblestone and the other double-speed blocks give two per cycle on the Stone Block Generator, stone, obsidian and the rest give one. A cycle never makes more than a stack, so on cobblestone the Netherite tier gives the same 64 a second as the Diamond one.

Stone Block Generator: x1. 2 cobblestone a second, 1 a second of stone, obsidian, basalt or deepslate. Six Smooth Stone and two glass. See Stone Block Generator.
Copper Block Generator: x2. 4 cobblestone a second, 2 a second of stone, obsidian, basalt or deepslate. Six Copper Ingots and two glass. See Copper Block Generator.
Iron Block Generator: x4. 8 cobblestone a second, 4 a second of stone, obsidian, basalt or deepslate. Six Iron Ingots and two glass. See Iron Block Generator.
Gold Block Generator: x8. 16 cobblestone a second, 8 a second of stone, obsidian, basalt or deepslate. Six Gold Ingots and two glass. See Gold Block Generator.
Emerald Block Generator: x16. 32 cobblestone a second, 16 a second of stone, obsidian, basalt or deepslate. Six Emeralds and two glass. See Emerald Block Generator.
Diamond Block Generator: x32. 64 cobblestone a second, 32 a second of stone, obsidian, basalt or deepslate. Six Diamonds and two glass. See Diamond Block Generator.
Netherite Block Generator: x64. 64 cobblestone a second, 64 a second of stone, obsidian, basalt or deepslate. Six Netherite Ingots and two glass. See Netherite Block Generator.

Every recipe is a ring: the material across the top and bottom rows, glass on the left and right of the middle row, and nothing in the centre.

What it can make

Fluids on the two sides, and the block underneath when a recipe needs one. Double speed where it says so.

Cobblestone: Water and lava, nothing under it. Double speed. See Cobblestone.
Granite, diorite, andesite, tuff: Water and lava over the same block. Double speed.
Stone: Water and lava over Stone. Uses up the water.
Obsidian: Water and lava over Obsidian. Uses up the lava.
Calcite and end stone: Water and lava over the same block.
Netherrack: Lava on both sides over Netherrack. Double speed.
Blackstone: Lava on both sides over blackstone.
Cobbled deepslate: Packed Ice and lava, nothing under it.
Basalt: Blue Ice and lava, nothing under it.
Mud: Water and Dirt on the two sides.
Create's stones: Water and lava over Limestone, scoria, crimsite, ochrum, veridium or asurine. Double speed.
Kivi: Water and lava over Kivi. Double speed.
Sky stone dust: Water and lava over Sky Stone makes Sky Stone Dust. Double speed.
Ancient stone: Soul lava and Blue Ice over Oxidized Copper makes Ancient Stone. Double speed.

Getting the blocks out

The generator holds one stack of what it makes. Each second it adds to that stack and then pushes it into the block on top.
With nothing on top, or a full inventory there, it stops when 64 are waiting.
Pipes and hoppers cannot pull from its sides or its bottom: it has no inventory of its own for them to reach. Only the block on top gets items.
Right-click it with an empty hand, or holding the same block, to take what is waiting.
It drops itself when broken with a pickaxe, but the waiting stack is lost. Empty it first.

Upgrading to the next tier

There is no upgrade item and no generator goes into the next one's recipe on ATM10. Craft the tier you want straight from its material, break the old one with a pickaxe after emptying it, and put the new one in its place.

Questions

How do I make an Iron Block Generator in ATM10?

Six iron ingots across the top and bottom rows of a crafting table and a glass on each side of the middle row, centre empty. It makes 8 cobblestone a second between water and lava.

How much cobblestone does a Copper Block Generator make?

4 a second on ATM10, 240 a minute. Six copper ingots and two glass.

Why did my generator stop?

It holds one stack and only empties into the block on top. Put a chest, barrel or hopper there, or take the stack out by hand. If it was making stone or obsidian, the water or lava source was used up.
