Iron Foundry

The Iron Foundry was the third iron golem farm on the server and replaced the Iron Trench. It produced iron ingots fully automatically and with no idling required. It was located South-East of Platz des Ursprungs, until the Iron Titan was built there.

The farm was designed by TangoTek, and was built by and  after TangoTek's tutorial.

History
The Iron Foundry was originally built because the Iron Trench was deemed too slow and often stopped working; it was later discovered that this was in part due to a bug that destroyed parts of the circuitry, and in part because the Iron Trench had been built partially outside the spawn chunks.

During the infamous update, the Iron Foundry broke completely, because iron golems no longer dropped ingots when killed automatically. While this change was reverted, the bug called “village chaining” that made the Iron Foundry so efficient was changed, which means that the traditional iron farm built at Naron was more efficient than the Iron Foundry. Existing iron farms were not affected by this change, but a bug in the snapshot caused wooden doors to produce massive amounts of lag, forcing us to destroy the farm. The large number of iron blocks we had crafted from the farm's output (about 7 double chests) along with the Swampland Hub item dupe were enough to supply the server for a while, but we did run out eventually. In November 2014, the Iron Foundry was torn down and replaced by the Iron Titan.
