Silverfish-based XP Farm Mk 2

This farm converts cobblestone into infested stone, then uses a series of depolyers and a minecart contraption to break the infested stone, resulting in a huge amount of silverfish to spawn, which are to be harvested for XP.

WARNING: This build uses bulk processing, meaning it cannot be mirrored!

Main Features:
Lag Prevention - Contraption only activates if the storage contains infested stone.
Overflow Prevention - Stops if main storage becomes full.
Bulk Processing - A way more efficient method of processing items.
Extremely Compact - Designed as small as possible.

Breakdown:
The farm takes in cobblestone via a packager and frogport. The cobblestone is sent to the packager/frogport via a restocker located on the back of the packager, set to maintain four stacks of cobblestone in the vault at all times. When cobblestone enters the vault, it is outputted via a brass funnel on the side of the machine, where it is dragged underneath an encased fan pulling lava particles from a lava source above. This smelts the cobblestone into regular stone, which is then sent back into the vault via a brass funnel filtered to allow only stone to pass through.

Once back in the vault, the stone is sent to either side, where it is dragged underneath an encased fan pulling haunted campfire particles from a campfire above. This transforms the stone into infested stone. The infested stone is then sent into the vault via a brass funnel set to allow only infested stone to pass through. From the vault, it is sent down onto a depot beneath the vault via a smart chute filtered to collect only infested stone.

A mechanical arm near the top of the machine takes the infested stone from the depot and deposits it into nine deployers. The deployers place the infested stone, which is then broken by a minecart contraption, turning the stone into silverfish. The silverfish drop into water and are pushed to the side of the machine, ready to be harvested. The minecart contraption in the machine works similarly to my cobblestone farm, placing and retrieving itself. This pick-and-place mechanism only activates when the vault contains infested stone. If there is no infested stone, the minecart contraption won’t assemble.

Overflow Prevention: The machine includes a threshold switch attached to the vault with a redstone link on top. This switch monitors the vault, checking the amount of infested stone. If there are more than 16 stacks of infested stone, the switch locks the cobblestone output on the side of the machine, halting production of additional infested stone until the amount falls below the 16-stack threshold.

Shutoff: A lever near the top of the machine, when flipped, halts the production of infested stone, allowing you to manually control the amount of cobblestone the machine intakes. Additionally, a lever near the bottom of the machine is attached to a smart chute in the middle of the machine. When flipped, this lever prevents any more infested stone from being supplied to the deployers.

Linking to Your Network:
1. Connect Frogport to your chain conveyor system.
2. Link stock links and factory gauges to your network.
3. Assign factory gauge to route items to overhead frogports.
4. Set maintained stock to 16 stacks of required items.

Setup Guide:
1. Place a minecart on the cart assembler located in the middle of the machine.
2. Waterlog the copycat frames on the ground in the open space under the deployers.
3. Place lava on the other side of the copycat frame located on the side of the machine above the encased fan.
4. Make sure the harvesting area is sealed off! If there is an opening, then... well... you're not going to have a great day, to say the least.
5. Apply rotational power anywhere to the machine at any speed, ensuring everything spins correctly.

Note: To maximize efficiency, you can drop the grinder area a block lower to get 100% efficiency out of this machine instead of 90-95% efficiency.
