### 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. Crafting history for fast
|
|
refabrication of previous recipes. Providesa a recipe collision resolver (selection
|
|
button for ambiguous recipes). Quick-move buttons (opt-in) to from/to storage or
|
|
player inventory. Smart shift-click placement (balanced placing of items in the
|
|
crafting grid). Shows the placed items on the top of the 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. Can be boosted with RF power when
|
|
a IE heater is placed in the furnace.
|
|
|
|
- *Small Electrical Furnace*: Pass-through electrical furnace. Can pull items out of
|
|
inventories at the input side, 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.
|
|
Provides redstone pulse mode (drop like a vanilla dropper) or continuous mode
|
|
(continue dropping as long as the redstone signal is on).
|
|
|
|
- *Factory Hopper*: Hopper with configurable stack transfer size (1 to 32), transfer
|
|
delay, and collection range (default like hopper, area max 9x9). Can also be placed
|
|
upwards. Has 24 slots, keeps its inventory when being broken and relocated. Tries
|
|
to insert smartly, so that existing stacks in the target inventory are filled up first
|
|
before empty slots are used. The redstone signal polarity can be inverted to enable
|
|
the hopper instead of blocking it, and the reaction to redstone signal can be selected
|
|
between "continuous" (like the vanilla hopper) or "pulsed" (means "edge detection",
|
|
insertion like a dispenser or dropper). Default behaviour when placing is vanilla
|
|
hopper behaviour. Note that, when collecting items, it waits until the items are
|
|
allowed to be picked up and on the ground. This prevents that the hopper snatches
|
|
blocks that you break when building before you can pick them up yourself.
|
|
|
|
- *Factory Block Placer*: Places blocks or plants crops/saplings in front of it.
|
|
Supports spike planting, means it can plant e.g. from underneath the soil block.
|
|
Automatically spits out items that it cannot plant or place. Can be redstone
|
|
controlled similar to the Factory Hopper (invertible, pulse/continuous mode).
|
|
|
|
- *Small Block Braker*: Breaks blocks in front of it. Can be disabled by applying a
|
|
redstone signal. The time needed to destroy a block depends on the hardness of
|
|
that block. Provide RF/FE power to speed up the breaking process (massively).
|
|
|
|
- *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". Slightly higher crafting yield than making vanilla bricks.
|
|
The recipe also allows to craft clinkers from a combination of bricks and nether
|
|
bricks (actually, anything where the ore dictionary says it's a "brick ingot" -
|
|
useful for bigger industrial buildings where clay is a rare resource). Higher
|
|
explosion resistance than the vanilla bricks. Also available as stairs and wall.
|
|
There is a reverse recipe to get three clinker brick blocks back from stairs or
|
|
walls. There are also *Stained Clinker Bricks*, which can be mixed in Clinker walls
|
|
for more variations.
|
|
|
|
- *Slag Bricks*: Gray-brownish brick, also eight texture variations. Has a higher
|
|
explosion resistance than bricks. Also available as stairs and wall, also with
|
|
reverse recipes.
|
|
|
|
- *Concrete Wall*: Solid concrete wall (not the vanilla wall design).
|
|
|
|
- *Rebar Concrete*: Steel reinforced concrete. Expensive, creeper-proof.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- *Gas Concrete*: Decorative concrete with high production yield and low hardness.
|
|
Random texture variations. Also as *stairs*, *wall*, *slab*, and *slab slice*,
|
|
reverse recipes available.
|
|
|
|
- *Ladders*: *Metal Rung Ladder*: Industrial wall-fixed ladder with horizontal bent
|
|
rods. Climbing is faster if looking up/down and not sneaking. *Staggered Metal Steps*:
|
|
Industrial wall-fixed sparse ladder with steps in a zip pattern. *Treated Wood Ladder*:
|
|
Stylish wood ladder, also with faster climbing.
|
|
|
|
- *Panzer Glass*: Reinforced, dark gray tinted glass block. Explosion-proof. Faint
|
|
structural lines are visible, multiple texture variations for seemless look.
|
|
|
|
- *Tables*: *Treated Wood Table*: Four leg table made out of treated wood. *Steel table*:
|
|
Metal table known from industrial assembly lines or Clean Rooms.
|
|
|
|
- *Treated Wood Stool*: Simple small stool fitting to the table. You can sit on it, and
|
|
also mobs will occationally do that (only mobs which actually can sit).
|
|
|
|
- *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.
|
|
|
|
- *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. Note: When sneaking you can pass underneath it, not all mobs sneak.
|
|
|
|
- *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. Makes a factory looking
|
|
more alive.
|
|
|
|
- *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.
|
|
|
|
- *Fluid Pipe 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. Also chops trees of the *Dynamic Trees* mod.
|
|
|
|
- *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.
|
|
|
|
- *Fluid Collection Funnel*: Collects fluids above it. Has an internal tank with three buckets
|
|
capacity. Traces flowing fluids to nearby source blocks. The fluid can be obtained with fluid
|
|
transfer systems or a bucket. Fills only tanks below (gravity). Compatible with vanilla
|
|
infinite-water-source creation.
|
|
|
|
- *Small Milking Machine*: Cows don't dislike being groomed and therefore occasionally stroll to
|
|
this device, which in turn draws a bucket of milk. The milk is stored in an internal tank and
|
|
can be retrieved directly with a bucket. For automating, the machine can interact with inventories
|
|
at the back and below it. It preferrs pulling empty vessels from the back and putting the filled
|
|
containers below, but if there is only one inventory, then it puts the filled containers back into
|
|
that inventory. Also supports fluid transfer to adjacent tanks (if milk exists as fluid in the
|
|
game), and is also compatible with the "Bottled Milk" mod (fills vanilla empty bottles).
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
|
|
- [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.
