Cart-activated grinder?
« on: September 15, 2012, 02:10:06 am »

I know this subject has been gone over, but how well would this design work?

I want to turn this grinder:

Code: [Select]
0000   0000
0^PG   GP^0
0^PG   GP^0
0^^0GGG0^^0
0 - wall
^ - weapon trap
G - bridge
Open space - floor

It's a little bigger but you get the idea.

Into a grinder by linking the pressure plates on either side to the gears [G]:

Code: [Select]
0G00000G0
0RP===PR0
0 - wall
R - Roller
P - plate
= - track

And then use those plates to flip the gate.
Reading the wiki tells me I should also move my plates at least 10 tiles from the bridge itself; How fast is the fastest goblin, per tick?
