TechPack V2.00 (WIP)

THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS

For your world use the stable release v1.16

Planned for v2

  • switch to library tubelib2
  • introduce a new machine state model
  • add new machine state "defect"
  • add a tubelib Repair Kit for defect blocks
  • Forceload block as part of tubelib
  • support for intllib
  • optionally disable the cobble/ore generation

Current state

  • Switch to tubelib2 is done (not fully tested).
  • Pusher, Distributor, and Grinder already support the new state 'defect'.
  • The Repair Kit is available and can be used to repair defect machines.
  • The mod 'basic_materials' is now needed for some new recipes.
  • Due to server crashes I can happen that all loaded nodes loose their timers. Therefore, all "timed" nodes got an "on_node_load" function, which is used to restart the timer.
  • Forceload block (16x16x16) added
  • switch 'tubelib_addons1_cobble_generator_enabled' activated, so that the automated cobble/ore generation can be disabled. The cobble generation produces Basalt Stone which can be crafted to Basalt Stone Blocks and Basalt Stone Bricks
  • Quarry now uses LVM techniques to go down up to 100 meter
  • settingtypes introduced with the following settings: tubelib_max_num_forceload_blocks, tubelib_basalt_stone_enabled, tubelib_machine_aging_value

To Do

  • adapt API.md
  • revise Wiki
  • expand controllers by the state defect

TechPack, a Mining, Crafting, & Farming Modpack for Minetest.

TechPack

After update to v1.16, don't forget to activate the new mod "lcdlib" as part of the mod pack.

TechPack is a collection of following Mods:

  • tubelib, a Mod for item exchange via lumber tubes and wireless message communication between nodes.
  • tubelib_addons1, a Tubelib extension with mining, farming, and crafting nodes
  • tubelib_addons2, a Tubelib extension with control nodes
  • tubelib_addons3, a Tubelib extension with high performance nodes
  • gravelsieve, a Mod to sieve ores from gravel.
  • smartline, a Mod with small and smart sensors, actors and controllers.
  • safer_lua, a subset of the language Lua for safe and secure Lua sandboxes
  • SaferLua Controller - a controller to be programmed in LUA
  • lcdlib - a display lib used by smartline

A TechPack Tutorial is available as Wiki

TechPack is a collection of mods for an automated mining, crafting, and farming. It is no replacement for Pipeworks, Mesecons, Technic, and Co., but it is a lightweight and simple to use alternative for servers with the focus on building (not only playing around with technique stuff). If a player uses the full potential of TechPack, he can work on his building projects while TechPack is producing most of the necessary materials in the meantime.

TechPack provides:

  • lumber tubes to connect 2 nodes
  • a Pusher node to pull/push items through tubes
  • a Distributor node with 4 output channels to sort incoming items
  • a Blackhole node which lets all items disappear
  • Button/switches to send "switch on/off" messages
  • Several lamp nodes in different colors (can be switched on/off)
  • a Quarry node to dig for stones and other ground nodes
  • a Harvester node to chop wood, leaves and crops
  • a Grinder node to grind all kinds of cobblestone to gravel, gravel to sand, and sand to clay
  • a Gravelsieve node to sieve ores from gravel
  • an Autocrafter node for automated crafting of tools and items
  • a Fermenter node to produce Bio Gas from leaves
  • a Reformer node to produce Bio Fuel from Bio Gas (the Bio Fuel is needed by Harvester and Quarry nodes)
  • a Funnel node to collect dropped items
  • two Timer nodes for a daytime controlled sending of commands (on/off)
  • two Sequencer nodes for a waiting time controlled sending of commands (on/off)
  • an item Detector node sending commands (on/off)
  • a Repeater node to distribute received commands to connected nodes
  • Gate/Door nodes in different textures to be controlled via on/off commands
  • an Access Lock node with number key field
  • a Mesecon Converter node to translate tubelib commands in mesecon commands and vice versa
  • a Programmer tool to simply collect node numbers
  • a Player Detector node
  • a Controller node with "IF this then that" rules, which allows:
    • reading node states
    • receiving commands from other nodes
    • sending commands and alarms
    • sending mails or chat messages
    • output on a display
  • a Controller to be programmed in Lua
  • a Signal Tower node showing machine states
  • a Display node for text outputs of the Controller

TechPack supports the following mods:

  • Farming Redo (Harvester, Fermenter)
  • Ethereal (Harvester, Quarry, Fermenter)
  • Pipeworks (Gravel Sieve)
  • Hopper (Gravel Sieve)
  • Mesecon (Mesecon Converter)

Configuration

  • Maximim number of Forceload Blocks per player
  • Enable Basalt Stone (and disable ore generation via cobble generator)
  • machine aging value to calculate the lifetime of machines
