Tutorial/Automatic Glass Maker (No EE)

Hey guys.

One problem there has always been, especially in servers where you may not use EE, is to make a ton of glass. I have been messing around and i have found out a way to make glass automatically without using EE! I call it the AGM- the Automatic Glass Maker.

Video Tutorial
Alongside you can find a video on how to make it, but see

below for the step by step guide to making it.

Step-By-Step guide on making it
I will break this up into 4 parts:

 Part 1: Cobblestone Generator 

The 1st thing you are going to need is an automatic cobblestone generator. Any one will do. All it needs to be is automatic. I prefer this one:

If you want to use the generator i used, please see his page as it is his tutorial and I don't want to steal his thunder. I prefer to send all the cobblestone into a chest instead of straight into the body. This allows for storage of the excess cobblestone.

Part 2: The body

(If you want to see if you are building it right, refer to the video)

This is the core part of the AGM. The 1st thing you need to do is put a filter facing the chest where you are storing the cobblestone. You will then need to place an pneumatic or redstone tube behind that and then place a macerator. This turns the cobblestone into sand. Then you need to place another filter, another tube and then a electrical furnace. This will smelt the sand into glass. Then you need to place a 3rd filter and tube, followed by a chest to store the glass. In the video i used 2 tubes between each point, but this isn't needed.

''' Part 3: Power! '''

  Now you need to power it. Run red alloy wires along the side of the "body" so that all the filters are connected.

Connect these wires to a timer. You could use the same timer as the one used in the cobblestone generator, as I did in the video.

Now you need to power the machines. Run any cables (I prefer glass fibre cables) along the body so that is connects to the macerator AND the furnace. Connect these wires to a power source, such as solar panels.

Now turn the timer on, and it should take cobblestone and slowly turn it into sand, then glass. This is all good, but it takes ages. Now, you could stop there, but why wait ages for the glass? This is when upgrades come into play.

''' Part 4: Going Faster! '''

To speed up the machines, you can add overclocker upgrades. This makes the AGM go faster, but uses up more power. Before you add High Voltage power though, you need to add transformer upgrades and Storage upgrades. You need 2 transformer upgrades in the macerator and 2 in the furnace. A few storage in each will work well. I stop using overclocker upgrades at +-16. This will chew up power, but you don't need to do this all at once. You can gradually build up the upgrades as needed. Dont need glass now? Take the upgrades out. Need glass urgently? Put them back in!

A tip, though. Make 100% sure the transformer upgrades are in BEFORE you connect the High Voltage power cables........
