Suggestion: Altun Waste Management
Altun505_, Thu Jan 28 2021, 01:46AMHey guys!
I would like to announce you guys my new project! It is called Altun Waste Management, AWM for short. In this project of mine, the goal is to collect garbage from whole around the spawn area and meet all that garbage in a garbage center. I think that not everything is garbage, and someone's garbage can be another's treasure. That is why I would like to build this project and make it come alive.
In the project of AWM, all the trash cans in the spawn area will be connected to main trash lines. These lines will be built underground from hoppers and they will transport items from all over the spawn to the garbage center. The transport lines will only be built on under the roads, so it will not cross with anyone’s build. Also, the lines will have same Y level just so they are easier to track.
Currently there are trash cans in the spawn, but they do not really serve as anything other than destroying items. With this project, anyone will be able to access Garbage Center's contents and take any items he/she would like. It will be totally free. I am planning the CFUK players will prefer to throw their unneeded items into the trash cans instead of throwing them to lava. For example, if you have tons of netherrack that you cannot even store more, just throw them to the trash. Maybe someday, someone will need netherrack and that person will just visit Garbage Center and grab whatever he/she needs. I think this will basically allow people to recycle items and recycling is good for nature.

In the attachments I will be sending a picture of phase 1’s plan. The phase 1 of AWM will include 20 trash cans around spawn area. I need staff’s approval for this project as I think this project will slightly alter the underground of spawn area. Also feel free to tell me what you think about this project if you want.

The red lines represent planned hopper lines.
The cyan dots represent planned trash cans around the city.
The huge cyan cross represents Garbage Collection Center.

I like the idea yeah.Just a few considerations that go through my head.
On some of the roads around spawn are my sewer network.I am happy for you to use this to make the connections around spawn but be careful
Depending on the system your using,will it increase lag and with chunk boarders will the items be able to cross these if they are not loaded? (no clue myself what I'm talking about)

Firstly thanks for your reply! I would definitely would like to co-operate with you on the current sewer network and possible use of those tunnels.
For your question the lag is definitely a problem that I would like to avoid also. The thing is hoppers do cause lag but there are ways to reduce it. I did some research about this and apparently placing a full block with inventory on top of the hopper will turn the hopper off from checking near dropped items, eventually reducing the lag. So in my project all hoppers will have droppers placed on top of them and I think that this will prevent any noticeable lag from occurring.
About loaded/unloaded chunks, I think that hoppers should be able to transport items as spawn is almost always loaded.

I'd suggest you do a test for a small section of spawn first, and see how well it works etc. If's it's a success then I'm happy for you to expand afterwards

Thanks for your reply, Droid. Of course I wont be building everything at the same time but rather slowly. During the construction process I'll make it working in a small area. So we can see how well it performs.

I withdraw this suggestion because its too much work and I don't have time for it. Anyone else can dedicate himself to this suggestion and make it real if he/she wants.

Hi guys,
An update. I took up Altun's suggestion and made a test waste management system myself at Acacia Park. It's based on an item transporter design found here:
It's fairly efficient and only requires a 3x3 grid to be excavated. The materials required are mainly just Blue Ice, iron pressure plates every 9 blocks, and glass (for aesthetic reasons and aiding repair jobs for any issues that arise).
The pros:
The cons:
If mods give the thumbs up and Altun + others think it would be a good idea, I could gradually start implementing it into Spawn. I have read about the considerations that have been discussed regarding the lag from the hoppers and the method of reducing this with droppers on top. If it is insisted on I can implement this too

The pros:
- Cheap
- Fast item transport
- Fits within the current width of roads
The cons:
- Cannot transport items into unloaded chunks (they wait at the chunk border until you enter). This should not be that much of an issue as long as the collection centre is placed within the chunk-loading radius from /spawn
- Untested strain on server, but unlikely to be a problem since most items will make it to the collection centre.
If mods give the thumbs up and Altun + others think it would be a good idea, I could gradually start implementing it into Spawn.

Update 2. I have implemented a trial system in spawn. Now the rubbish bin right by /spawn sends rubbish to the newly constructed depot east of the town hall.
