Redstone (And How It Should Work)

[LordOfWolves 514]

Kind of a moot point with Redpower really, as its world gen code for volcanos was playing merry hell with TFC worldgen code last time I tryed it in 1.2.5. Had lava poping up all over the place like a rash. Hopefuly elloram will eventualy include a way to turn off her worldgen.

The last time I tried this, all the snw biome (Yes, they were biomes) was full of lots of small volcanoes.

As RP2 is separated in modules that don't need one each other (most of the times), you can have most of RP2 redstone features without experiencing world generation problems. Sorrily, she hasn't updated since MC 1.2.5... anyone knows why? :

Here is her twitter feed, says she is still working on it, but it looks like there were a host of issues with 1.3.2 and getting a working port took a while. Hopefully a 1.4.2 port will be up soon.

Yes, but the machine module is the best part. And it's the only one who requires the world module. Coincidence?

I prefer the one-block logic gates and the unlimited* reach of the signal in the wires with no delay what so ever, and those don't need anything but the core module, so yeah lucky me. Until she gets the lamps to actually emit a light of their colour instead of just glowing in that colour, i won't be using the lighting module :

*i know it's not unlimited, but honestly, i find it hard to make something that REQUIRES the signal to travel 256 blocks away with absolutely no delay.

Many people have fun with this making CPUs and RAMs in their PCs. I have fun with this making my base completely under my control.

I really just want the ability to make mechanisms in the game. My suggestion was random and off the top of my head. If Bioxx doesn't want redstone, that's fine; but I do want something similar, and I hope one gets added.

[Ditto8353 202]

Once the game is ready for something like redstone, I believe that it would be most logical to implement something similar to Dwarf Fortress.

For those intrested in mechanical power, I found this little gem hidding away on the Universal Electricity website.

What is this awesomeness? Cool and REALISTIC (it's not TFC)

[bsb23 303]

That is amazing! I think! I can't tell I was all excited now I can't find any info besides that it is an add-on (bummer) to a industrialcraft-ish mod and that it has some of the things we want but I can't tell how well they actually work there is no videos. And there is hardly any pictures either. What am I missing here? Is it really that far early in production yet they already have multiple releases?

Essentialy it works a little like buildcraft but without object transporting pipes.

• Pumps when powered suck up water
• Water fills up the boiler
• Fireboxes heat up the boiler and produce steam
• steam is piped into the pistons
• the pistons animate and turn the gear pipe things
• the gear pipe things can be connected up in series to provide mechanical power
• so far it seems to only provide mechanical power to the motor
• the motor then produces universal eletrical energy, which can translate to redpower, buildcraft and industrialcraft devices.

All very neat, the animations could be smoother and the GUI interfaces could use some polishing, but it all works fine in 1.4.2 and doesnt seem to be physicaly incompatable with anything in TFC.

Overall if the mods gear pipes eventualy can apply mechanical power to other devices, rather than just use it to produce eletricial power, might have a great number of other applications. Such as connecting up waterwheels, or powering bellows for bloomerys and blast furnaces.

This mod and Railcrafts steam boiler and steam turbine are the first power sources for mechanical and eletrical energy that doesnt seem to weird for minecraft, (like solar power or disel engines).

I mainly prefer this mod to buildcraft, because the autoquarrys and item transporting pipes have never really appealed to me for addition to a TFC world.

It could do without the circuit boards, but cant have everything.

[ThinkTank 77]

There was also this mod, for purely cosmetic purposes.

However, as the mod author says, you can adjust the size and speed of the rotating images already though key commands. If the speed command could be given to it via other connected rotating entitys and connected blocks that produce mechanical energy units, then translated into mechanical power units for blocks which use those units when in contact with them, you might have somthing there.

Although water flow and wind power might be an entirly diffrent matter. This is more about translation from one multiblock machine to another and gearing rather than production, you'd still need BTW style mobile entitys for that.

AAAAAAHHHH THE DOUBLE POSTS, THEY BUUURRRRNNN!!!!!

[Wicc3R1 36]

Currently in vanilla, redstone is weird magic that powers things, in TFC i use them as decorative lights but i would like to see somekind of power in TFC somepoint, even by its made by other mods, like Universal Elecricity which EVEN now can be added to work with TFC, theres just minor things like Lapis required to elite circuits. But these things can be worked around by using NEI in ssp. There's quite many things unde UE gategories to pump up TFC to later eras Mechanics, steam, weel heck even atomic reactors if someone wants to, we have pitchblack in TFC you know, source to uranium

Only major "problem" is lacking of vanilla iron :/ but maybe somhow to have wrought iron to equal normal iron in recipies??

You can enable vanilla iron recipes in the config files.

[Wicc3R1 36]

Does this mean that i can use wrought iron for normal iron or du you just meant that i can enable vanilla recipes(which i already knew )

You can change wrought iron with normal iron I think. And enable vanilla iron recipes.

ok trying it out soon as i get home
