Talk:Tutorials/Hourly clock

Why can't I put up this page. If I cant put it here then where. I mean, maybe it could be a link in advanced circuitry or something, but still... –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fireglo450 (Talk 12:34, 05:54, 2011 August 5. Please sign your posts with
 * I second that we keep this page. As far as I can tell there is nothing on this wiki that's even remotely similar in form or function. We have perfectly pointless lava-traps against griefers, that any player can easily outrun. There are descriptions of piston-mechanisms that lock chests, which can be bypassed with bare hands. I see no reason why there should be room for such useless contraptions but not for clocks - for which quite a variety of uses exists as shown on the page. However, it would be nice to expand the article with some blueprints and maybe videos of some of these clocks in action, but all in good time. After all, this site is only a few hours old... --Yatsufusa 07:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Totally agree with you Yatsufusa, this tutorial has just as much value as the others (probably more), but I think the issue was that it wasn't prefixed with tutorials/
 * The layout on this tutorial is great. I think there is a cheaper way of doing this: [Addict] Qcdynamics 21:37, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you everyone who supports me. I have screenshots pending, but, not having access to youtube, no videos can be added. I will try to do step-by-step visual aids and some diagrams. I hope your lobbying will save my page. fireglo450 6:57 p.m., 5 August, 2011
 * I appreciate your suggestion Qcdynamics, but I can't use youtube videos as help. I need a link to somehing on the wiki or forums, or written instructions. --fireglo450 5 Aug, 2011 11:14 p.m.
 * If you can't link to youtube because you're not yet an autoconfirmed user, I can give you a hand with that, just let me know what video(s) you'd like to link. I just made a BlockGrid tutorial (User:Qcdynamics/BlockGrid_Tutorial) which should help with diagrams. (If it doesn't make sense, let me know) Qcdynamics 20:11, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Automatic Doors
While I appreciate the thought I just put a pressure plate on the first block behind any door (on the inside of a structure), so it closes automatically behind me and opens by itself when I want to leave. So the only click needed is the one when I enter. I can't tell how common this technique is, since I play mostly singleplayer, but there will be neither a cow nor a creeper in my living room and nothing will shoot at me through any door accidentally left open.

I appreciate any idea tossed in, but to me this one seems a little redundant because there's already such a cheap and efficient solution. (Yes, I see the irony writing something like this on a page for building ingame clocks out of tons of redstone!) On the other hand I could be very stylish to have doors open and close by themselves while no one is near. Opinions? --Yatsufusa 15:33, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Your technique to put a pressure plate adjacent to your doors is very common and way cheaper. When I first read this idea, I was thinking that someone would be making a bank with a time-lock delay on mulitplayer. Qcdynamics 20:11, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
