Still designing my afk ice farm. I have a working solution with flying machines that is OK but still more complicated than I'd like. (I have a flying machine with the player going up and down the farm, and a few flying machines pushing ice such that the player can harvest it.) Also it's not as efficient as I'd like, as a player can reach only 4 blocks so I ca
An alternative would be to move a player across the area where the ice is harvested, which cuts out an intermediate step (moving ice towards the player but only 4 blocks at one time so that everything can be harvested), but this means the player must follow a more complicated path. (Basically a zigzag across my farm.) Now I've tried
Waterstreams: Easy to build, but awfully slow. Using blue ice doesn't speed it up.
Minecart: Too fast, can't harvest the ice even with an efficiency 5 pickaxe
Flying machine: Speed is just right, but needs more space and harder to move around corners.

Is there some alternative I'm missing?
Maybe you should try using less powered rails to avoid going above the speed. Have you tried that yet?

And... that's it i guess?
Yes. Still too fast, with the problem that the cart might get stuck.
