### Details
|
|
|
|
The mod has its focus decorative blocks and devices helping you to build nice
|
|
looking manufacturing contraptions. Current feature set:
|
|
|
|
- *Treated wood crafting table*: 3x3 crafting table with IE style GUI and a model
|
|
fitting better in the engineer's workshop. Keeps its inventory, has eight additional
|
|
storage slots on the left side of the crafting grid. Crafted 2x2 with three
|
|
treated wood planks and one vanilla crafting table.
|
|
|
|
- *Small laboratory furnace*: Solid fuel consuming, updraught. Slightly hotter and
|
|
better isolated than a cobblestone furnace, therefore more efficient. Has internal
|
|
hopper FiFos for input, output, and fuel (two stacks each). Two auxilliary slots
|
|
(storage tray). Keeps inventory when relocated. Crafted with one cobblestone
|
|
furnace, one hopper, and seven metal plates.
|
|
|
|
- *Small electrical furnace*: Pass-through electrical furnace. Can pull items out
|
|
input side inventories, inserts items into inventories at the output side. Internal
|
|
fifo slots. Automatically bypasses items that cannot be cooked or smelted. Electrical
|
|
RF/FE power can be applied on all sides. Items can be inserted or drawn from all
|
|
sides (e.g. with filtered hopper or whatever). Fits ideally into a conveyor belt
|
|
line/lane. Consumption and efficiency tunable via config.
|
|
|
|
- *Factory dropper*: Dropper with GUI configurable drop force, direction, stack size,
|
|
trigger cool-down delay, and trigger logic. Three trigger slots ("filter slots") can
|
|
be used as internal trigger. They emit an internal signal if their item is found in
|
|
in the dropper inventory (also at least the stack size of a trigger slot). Internal
|
|
triggers can be easily combined with the external redstone signal trigger using
|
|
logical *AND* or *OR* gates. If internal triggers match, the dropper will spit out
|
|
exactly the stacks in these slots. That allows to drop e.g. always nine lapis,
|
|
redstone, nuggets, etc on a conveyor to feed a compression metal press - instantly
|
|
and automatically after nine of these items have been inserted into the dropper.
|
|
|
|
- *Small waste incinerator*: Buffered and delayed item disposal device. 16 fifo
|
|
slots are filled when new items are pushed in from any side. A GUI allows to
|
|
take out accidentally trashed items or put in items to get rid of. When the fifo
|
|
is full, the oldest stack will be disposed. The processing speed can be increased
|
|
by connecting electrical RF/FE power.
|
|
|
|
- *Clinker bricks*: Slightly darker and more colorful version of the vanilla brick
|
|
block. Eight position dependent texture variations are implemented to make the
|
|
wall look more "alive". Crafted 3x3 with a brick block in the centre and any
|
|
combination of bricks and nether bricks around (actually, anything where the
|
|
ore dictionary says it's a "brick ingot"). Higher explosion resistance than the
|
|
vanilla bricks. Also available as stairs and wall, crafted as usual. There
|
|
is a reverse recipe to get three clinker brick blocks back from stairs or walls.
|
|
|
|
- *Slag bricks*: Gray-brownish brick, also eight texture variations. Crafted 3x3
|
|
from slag in the centre and any kind of bricks ("brick ingot") around. Has a higher
|
|
explosion resistance than bricks. Also available as stairs and wall, also with
|
|
reverse recipes.
|
|
|
|
- Rebar (steel) reinforced concrete: Expensive but creeper-proof. Crafted 3x3 from
|
|
four concrete blocks and five steel rods. Texture design oriented at the IE concrete,
|
|
slightly darker, eight (position dependent) random texture variations with rust
|
|
traces. Also creaftable in form of *stairs* and *walls*. Like the IE contrete *tiles*,
|
|
you can craft rebar concrete tiles with corresponding stairs. Reverse recipes
|
|
available for all blocks crafted from rebar concrete.
|
|
|
|
- Concrete wall: Solid concrete wall (not the vanilla wall design), crafted 3x3
|
|
from six IE concrete blocks (normal wall recipe).
|
|
|
|
- *Treated wood ladder*: Crafted 3x3 with the known ladder pattern, items are
|
|
treated wood sticks. Climbing is faster if looking up/down and not sneaking.
|
|
|
|
- *Metal rung ladder*: Industrial wall-fixed ladder with horizontal bent rods.
|
|
Crafted 3x3 with five iron or steel rods in a "U" pattern. Climbing is faster
|
|
if looking up/down and not sneaking.
|
|
|
|
- *Staggered metal steps*: Industrial wall-fixed sparse ladder with steps in a
|
|
zip pattern. Crafted 3x3 with six iron or steel rods in a zip pattern. Climbing
|
|
is faster when looking up/down and not sneaking.
|
|
|
|
- *Panzer glass*: Reinforced, dark gray tinted glass block. Explosion-proof.
|
|
Faint structural lines are visible, multiple texture variations for seemless
|
|
look. Crafted 3x3 with four metal rods, four glass blocks, and one diamond.
|
|
|
|
- *Treated wood table*: Four leg table made out of treated wood. Crafted 3x3
|
|
with three treated wood slabs and four treated wood poles. Guess the pattern.
|
|
|
|
- *Treated wood stool*: Simple small stool fitting to the table. Crafted 3x3
|
|
with three treated wood slabs and one treated wood pole.
|
|
|
|
- *Treated wood pole*: Pole fragment that can be placed in all directions. It
|
|
does intentionally not connect to posts, fences, etc - just a straigt pole.
|
|
Can be used e.g. for structural support or wire relay post, where the height
|
|
of the IE wire posts does not match.
|
|
|
|
- *Thin and thick steel support poles*: Hollow steel pole fragments, can be
|
|
placed in all directions. Also with head/food end components. Thin poles crafted
|
|
3x3 from three steel ingots (output 12), thick poles crafted 3x3 from six thin
|
|
steel poles.
|
|
|
|
- *Double-T steel support*: Horizontal top-aligned support beam, placed in the
|
|
direction you look. Auto connects to adjacent beams if facing towards them. Auto
|
|
connects to steel poles underneath. Crafted 3x3 from thin steel poles in a T-shape
|
|
(output: 6 beams).
|
|
|
|
- *Inset spot light*: Small metal framed glowstone based light source for ceiling,
|
|
wall, or floor. Light level like a torch. Thin, hence not blocking the way.
|
|
Allows illuminating places where electrical light installations are problematic.
|
|
|
|
- *Industrial signs*: "Danger", "Electrical Hazard", "Exit", etc.
|
|
|
|
- *Slab slices*: Decorative stackable thin slabs made of of IE metal sheets,
|
|
concretes, treated wood. Useful e.g. for roofs or ramps. Left-clicking with
|
|
the same slab type in your hand while looking up/down removes slices again.
|
|
Crafted 3x3 from four slabs.
|
|
|
|
- *Fluid pipe check valve*: Check valve: IE fluid pipe styled straight valve that
|
|
conducts fluids only in one direction. Crafted from 3x3 from three fluid pipes.
|
|
Supports IE pressurized fluid transfer.
|
|
|
|
- *Redstone controlled valves*: Conduct only in one direction, on-off
|
|
variant (open on redstone power) and analog variant (closed at power 0, linear
|
|
flow slope, fully open at power 15). Support IE pressurized fluid transfer.
|
|
|
|
- *Passive fluid accumulator*: Block with one output and five input sides, that
|
|
draws fluids out of adjacent tanks when a pump drains fluid from the output port.
|
|
Implicit round-robin balanced drain from adjacent blocks. Random initial fluid
|
|
drip-in to allow pumps to detect that fluids can be drained. The accumulator
|
|
has a vacuum suction delay.
|
|
|
|
- *Small Solar Panel*: Produces a small amount of RF power, comparable to a
|
|
IE thermal peltier generator over one day cycle. No power at night, reduced
|
|
power when raining. The power curve during day time is non-linear. Useful
|
|
for electrical lighting of remote places.
|
|
|
|
- *Small Tree Cutter*: A slab sized device that chops a tree in front of it.
|
|
Needs by default about one minute, with RF power less than 10 seconds. Useful
|
|
to build a contraptive automated tree farm.
|
|
|
|
- *Small Mineral Smelter*: Device that slowly converts most stones or sands to
|
|
magma blocks and finally to lava. Needs a lot of power. When the lava is cooled
|
|
down in the smelter by removing the RF power, obsidian is generated.
|
|
|
|
More to come slowly but steadily.

### Mod pack integration, forking, back ports, bug reports, testing
|
|
|
|
- Packs: If your mod pack ***is open source as well and has no installer***,
|
|
you don't need to ask and simply integrate this mod. The mod has an extensive
|
|
configuration allowing you to choose exactly which features you want, and
|
|
additional tweaks like furni power consumption, smelting speed etc, allow
|
|
to adapt the mod to the context it is used in.
|
|
|
|
- Bug reports: Yes, please let me know. Drop a mail or better open an issue
|
|
for the repository.
|
|
|
|
- Translations: Please translate the 1.12 lang files if possible (because the
|
|
1.13+ JSON language files are automatically generated from these `.lang`
|
|
files - saves me a bit of work).
|
|
|
|
- Pull requests: Happily accepted. Please make sure that use the ***develop
|
|
branch*** for pull requests. The master branch is for release versions only.
|
|
I might merge the pull request locally if I'm ahead of the github repository,
|
|
we will communicate this in the pull request thread then.
|
|
|
|
- The mod config has an "include testing features" option. Enabling this causes
|
|
blocks under development to be registered as well.

Mods covering similar features, or may fit well together with IE and the decorations of this mod:
|
|
|
|
- [Immersive Engineering](https://github.com/BluSunrize/ImmersiveEngineering/): Without IE, my
|
|
little mod here does not make much sense ;). It works without IE, but quite a few blocks are
|
|
not craftable.
|
|
|
|
- [Engineer's doors](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/engineers-doors) has brilliant
|
|
doors, trapdoors, and fence doors, all made of the IE materials.
|
|
|
|
- [Dirty Bricks](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/dirty-bricks-vanilla-add-on) applies
|
|
position dependent variations to the vanilla bricks, similar to the clinkers and slag bricks in this
|
|
mod.
|
|
|
|
- [Chisel](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/chisel) needless to say, Chisel has a variety
|
|
of factory blocks.
