Free access iron farm - 27 cells

[frobalt]

So, I've built myself an iron farm and am giving access away. All you have to do is go to /home frobalt ironfarm.

However, there is a slight catch: The collection area has a system of hoppers that filters the drops into 4 double chests. They distribute them evenly among the chests. I am only giving away access to 1 of these 4 chests, and ofc, you'll be competing with others for the contents of the chest.

This is only a trial run for now. If it turns out it causes too much hassle due to people getting annoyed that others are getting the drops before they can, I will remove access for everyone.

Since the hopper system distributes loot fairly evenly, the rate should be quite good, as it is a fully functioning 27 cell system, but as a bonus the way I've set it up means that if any chest and the hopper it is connected to fills up, other chests will receive more drops. This ensures that a chest filling up doesn't result in lost drops. So if all 3 of the other chests fill up before I can empty them, all the drops will go towards the public access chest.

I can't stress this enough: I am giving this access free to anyone that wants to use it, so the loot goes to whoever manages to get it first. Hopefully this will be done in a civil manner, as I don't want to remove access to it.

Also, I want to note that I will not be currently selling access to the other chests. It's possible I might change this in future though if I can figure out a way to do it.

Edit: P.S. I cannot guarantee that this chest will have a good drop rate, but since access is being given for free, it is bound to be a bonus - My main intention for this is for people that need iron as a material rather than those that want to use it to gain money.

Edit: 22/07/13 - 3rd chest has been opened up for public use.

It looks cool might try it

An update to this: I've given access to 2 chests now.

[ChocolateChloe17]

Nice

[frobalt]

Just so people know, I'm going to make this private again for a bit, purely because I want to be able to properly gauge what the drop rate is, which is pretty difficult to do with people taking out of the chests while I'm zooming around the tracks.


Will update this thread if I make it public again.

Brilliant idea.

Oh, cool.  I was enjoying the farm.  Glad to know the private is likely temporary.

Back to being public.

Also, to those that aren't aware, there is also access to an ender chest as well as enchantment table with enough bookshelves to enchant level 30.

I did have a free ender pearls chest, but it seems someone felt the need to use it to grief, so I've got rid of it.

There is also access to the old guest world nether.

I've not been spending much time online these days, which isn't likely to change if I get the job I hope to get, I've opened a 3rd chest to the public.
