London (Fallback Location)

AstroTech R&D was founded on the principle of combining aesthetics with functionality. Unlike most people who will sacrifice aesthetics for functionality or vice versa, AstroTech R&D never settles for less. No matter how little space is given or how much functionality is required, AstroTech R&D always finishes the job with top tier quality.

History

AstroTech R&D is a Research and Development organization created by Astrobolt. The firm was originally created to solve redstone spacing issues involved in Astrobolt's bone lounge, a skeleton spawner on ae0's island. While using complicated redstone machines in small spaces is still the main focus, AstroTech R&D has expanded its horizons to powerhouse bases such as Mesa Basa and war machines such as the Phantom Narwhal.

Projects

Astrobolt's Bone Lounge

After ae0 commissioned Astrobolt to build a skeleton spawner at ae0's newly founded shop island, Astrobolt needed to start experimenting with various redstone techniques. After using AstroTech R&D to come up with the right technique, there was a problem with spacing. Thus, AstroTech R&D's focus of space, aesthetics, and functionality was created. The spawner ultimately became a cheap way for players to get xp and loot.

Unfortunately, a server update broke the hopper clocks involved. Now the spawner is free to use.

Spooky Spawner

As more of ae0's island was explored, another skeleton spawner was discovered. Astrobolt was once again commissioned to make it functional. This time, the spawner would be more advanced. There would be several time options to choose from. The times were so precise that even the longest option, 30 minutes, was accurate to within 10 seconds. The spawner also included automatically restocking shops that essentially an infinite money machine. The spawner was perfected with a skull entrance created by Simbad_Tiger.

Unfortunately, the same server update that broke Astrobolt's bone lounge broke the Spooky Spawner as well. Now, the Spooky Spawner is free to use.

Mesa Basa

Mesa Basa, one of the most formidable bases on the server, is Astrobolt's main base. It is an ongoing project that is improved upon as needed. The main feature is a 100+ item automatic sorter with an integrated automatic, toggle based smelter. The base also has an advanced siege system that locks every chest in the item sorter with one button and opens hoppers to put items into. Build permissions are required in order to access the unlock capability, making it impossible to be broken into, even if Astrobolt loses a siege. Additionally, there is an automatic chicken farm that is capable of providing infinite food.

London

Astrobolt's house in London has been secured with technology produced by AstroTech R&D. The has several secret areas that are known only to a handful of people. Like Mesa Basa, Astrobolt's London house is an ongoing project that is updated when needed.
