Ultimate Wither Skeleton Skull Farm | 2200+/hr | v1.0

My first farm!

This is a fully automated Wither Skeleton skull farm made with the Create mod and Create: Ultimate Factory.

It produces around 2,200 skulls per hour, making it pretty useful if you need a lot of skulls for Wither fights or just want to stock up on Nether Stars.

If you have "Croptopia" installed, it makes for an easy way to craft a ton of nether star cakes. Also a good machine for building lots of beacons or flexing on your friends :D (of course, this also leads to a good way to end friendships — spawning a ton in their base and laying ruin to all their hard work [don't try this at home :) ])

The farm utilises the wither skeleton skull recipe obtained from crushing blackstone (added in Create: Ultimate Factory)

Requirements

This farm uses a total of 79,360 SU, meaning that it can be powered with as little as a lvl 5 steam engine, or 2 lvl 3 steam engines.

After placing the schematic, you will need to remove the chain drives powering each mechanic drill in order to waterlog each drill, then you can place the chain drives back again.

You may need to set the brass funnels (that dispense the excess blackstone onto the conveyors on either side of the chutes) and chutes (that dispense the skulls onto the central conveyor leading to the depot that connects to the chest) to filter for blackstone and wither skeleton skulls, if the nbt data doesn't transfer over properly.

If the nbt data doesn't transfer over properly, make sure to also set the funnel at the centre of the campfires to filter for blackstone, and the funnel dispensing items onto the long diagonal conveyor (leading up to the brass tunnels at the top) to dispense items in stacks of 64.

Future Changes

The machine doesn't require all 20 crushing wheels, and would probably be able to run on just 8 (if you're short stocked for crushing wheels).

Edit: The sustainable maximum crushing wheels (with the improvement of rerouting blackstone by-product back into the system) is 12, or 6 pairs of crushing wheels. Otherwise the wheels and conveyor belts will get clogged up.
