Guardian Farm

owsf2000The guardian farm is currently functional. Based on tests, while standing near the nether portal the drop rate is approximately 15000 items per hour. This is with just 1 tank operational. I have 3 other tanks in the works. Going to do some tests and modifications with the new ones as I go to test efficiency etc. For instance the yellow tank is going to attempt two new things.
1. An extra level of lava in the kill tank.
2. XP farming potential.
I will be adding an item sorter and massive storage system to the farm as well, but for now you'll have to grab stuff out of the drop chest.
*update*
The extra level of lava is a no-go. You'd swear the HP on these mobs were set deliberately to either instantly die in lava, or to have as much hp as possible after getting out of it. ^^ Oh well, no biggy.
The XP farm potential is there, so long as you have splash potions of harming anyway. I'll be planning out a way to move all 4 tanks of mobs into a central location for splashing at some point this week.
I'd wager this thing has the potential to be more efficient XP farm than an End Farm. Builds up mobs quickly and constantly, and you aren't forced to punch each and every mob individually. (In fact doing so in this farm could prove fatal!)
There's some fancy redstoning I want to do as well to wire the mode change into a single button.
I may however start working on the item sorter + storage system first. But that requires digging out the rest of the chunks below block 39.
