Automatic Obsidian Factory Plans

This obsidian factory design works quite nicely, producing 400 obsidian stones per batch, though operating it requires several lever pulls in a specific order and several long waits in between them.

In an effort to make operation less tedious, the following automation system has been designed. A single lever will initiate a sequence of events that produces a batch of obsidian, ready for mining.

Timing System

Each pressure plate opens the floodgate immediately to the south and activates zero or more special triggers. Each step takes 100 frames, plus time taken for the water to flow through (which should be near zero if the source is sufficiently pressurized). ON signals and inverted (/Signal) OFF signals take 100 frames to respond, while OFF signals and inverted ON signals take 200 frames to respond.

Trigger lever (pull twice) - Timer:ON, Magma:RESET, Water:RESET, Mixer:RESET, Access:RESET
