Assuming you just mean the ‘traditional’ 6 machines none of the pigment or minter stuff fully coiled, a fully coiled machine still takes something close to 5x5x3 ish voxels and with spark links more.
I’m not sure if the other gear you specified still leaves rooms for walls and a walkway in 4 plots.
How many coils is “fully coiled”, and why? If this is a minimalism project, I think that should be defined as the minimum to unlock all recipes on the specific machine.
I’m relatively new to the game, so I don’t know all the power requirements.
24 is max per machine. The idea was to see if you could put them all in 4 plots and have it be functional and look good (obviously an eye of the beholder term). You can do what you want. This was just a set of rules to use for the challenge.
Was really hopeful to see some minimalist builds for inspiration - not necessarily 4 plots exactly but something really small and humble.
While mega projects give you something to do and are majestic, they often cause those of us with not-so-large stamina to just give up midway. Also, putting your heat in and detailing a smaller build is way easier.
To the devs, i hope some small improvements can be done to enable people to have multi machines setups and a farm with a decent-enough produce (to even sell as a business) without having to have a mall for a house . Maybe super expensive but efficient soil blocks and expensive machines with built-in coils? Idk.
