2012-08-21: Made storage tank participate in autoplace algorithm. Tuned API a little to allow for more flexible placement. Re-organized code a bit to allow for some upcoming rules changes. Made storage tanks' upper/lower fittins and intake grate participate in autoplace algorithm.

(Plus a few more prior to these)

i love this mod

by **VanessaE** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 11:44

Thanks :-)

This looks really good, but is it used to move items around?

by **VanessaE** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 13:41

As it says in the first post, not yet. RealBadAngel is working on adding code to do that.

by **Mito551** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 15:43

may i use your mod as a part, have dependency on it, of my mod?
if i do, i want to ask you for a bit of help. what code is responsible for filling stuff? the thing is: i want to use pipes to get water to my node and fill it. i have two variables, which are describing capacity in my node, what should i do with them? thanks in advance

As stated in the first post, and in the post immediately before yours, this mod does not carry any fluids yet. Soon though.

You're of course welcome to use any part of it you want in your mod though :-)

by **Mito551** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 18:31

thank you... and sorry for being so.. uhm... not sure how call it, haha.
but as long as it doesn't carry liquids, it's kinda meaningless. thank you anyway

Mito: no worries - you just didn't read the first post fully. ;-)

nice!

by **madarexxx** » Fri Aug 31, 2012 03:19

Just EPIC!!!!11 Please give us more than two types of basic tubes(like stone/cobblestone in IC2),which don't connect if they are near! It will be very helpful for big schemes building

by **VanessaE** » Fri Aug 31, 2012 08:26

I will consider it.

Update - 2012-09-02: Added crafting recipes, with alternates for HomeDecor mod. By default, if the Technic mod is present, the new recipes are disabled, since that mod will soon supply its own.

See the first post for crafting recipes.

It would be even better if instead of having different basic tubes, we could die tubes with the colors of unified dies.

by **VanessaE** » Sun Sep 02, 2012 18:48

That is technically possible, but since the game currently lacks any way to apply some kind of color filter to an existing node, it means adding around 70 new nodes and their associated textures for each desired color.

by **Belgac** » Sun Sep 02, 2012 20:08

aww i didn't know that, seems a bad solution indeed.

by **madarexxx** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 10:50

Is it decorative only now? Can you give me any instructions, if it's working?

by **Belgac** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 11:10

It's not working yet apart for the placement part.

by **VanessaE** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 22:41

You can craft the pipes, devices, and tubes and place them around your world, but they still don't do anything yet. Coming soon.

by **madarexxx** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:26

mmm... tubes places perfectly, but valve and pump works only in horizontal direction :(
BTW recipes are VERY expensive! It just destroys any goodies from original buildcraft... It (buildcraft) has really cheap recipes and it gives ability to build really BIG schemes like full-automatically factory, automated chest system and many other things!
What about original BC recipes? you can find it here http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/documentation/recipes/

by **RealBadAngel** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 22:05

some preview video on whats comin soon:

Well I don't think I'll be doing the recipes in buildcraft, but I can always increase the yield of the existing recipes. Remember that this mod is still a work-in-progress. And besides, a player should have to work a bit for nice stuff like this I think :-)

I think it too, but usually work is to build a scheme + transport scheme must be cheaper than stuff, which it transports!

by **VanessaE** » Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:59

2012-09-05: All recipes' outputs doubled (e.g. 6 steel -> 12 pipe segments) except for junglegrass -> plastic sheeting (since that's derived from homedecor and should not change).

by **jordan4ibanez** » Wed Sep 19, 2012 22:50

+1 !!

@VanessaE: Can you tell me which node names are registered by the mod? I found the code a bit messy (no offense). I found that the pipes are "pipeworks:pipe_XXXXXX_STATE", where state is either "empty" or "loaded", and XXXXXX is either 0 or 1 depending on the connections. I can't find what the water tank is registered as...

by **VanessaE** » Sun Nov 18, 2012 04:36

Eh, maybe a little messy, but I don't think I could improve on it much, it's just the nature of those sorts of routines. Anyway, a complete listing is:

pipe_xxxxxx_{empty/full} (x's are in order of X-, X+, Y-, Y+, Z-, Z+ and indicate if there is a pipe segment going to a particular node face; aliased as "pipe")
tube_xxxxxx (x's defined the same as with pipes; aliased as "tube")
storage_tank_{0..10} ("storage_tank")
pump_{on/off}_{x/z} ("pump")
valve_{on/off}_{x/z} ("valve")
intake
outlet
testobject

by **kaeza** » Tue Nov 20, 2012 12:23

Okay, got it. Thanks a lot VanessaE!
BTW, has anyone fixed it for transport of liquids yet?

PS: I love your mods! Especially the Flowers :)
