useful redstone?

[wonderdude 1]

So far I absolutely love this mod.Sadly the only thing that keeps me from playing my main time with this mod is the lack of useful redstone.you're so limited to what you can do without repeaters, hoppers, pistons, comparators etc. Without those (or similair type mechanics) this mod can simply not replace my minecraft enjoyment :(It's fun for a while but when you can't improve anything with the enjoyment in using redstone it takes soo much fun out of the "end game"I'd loooove to make this mod my main minecraft experience. But as long as it doesn't have useful redstone, sadly I don't see that happening :(Please add the redstone back.

It might require a lot of work, but redstone is in the game.

 

You can enable vanilla iron and vanilla recipe recipe in the config to get vanilla iron for hopper, and vanilla wood for piston. Cobble used to be available from mixing lava and water (I know that for b.78 obsidian is not guarantied, so not sure about cobble). And nether quartz could be found in the nether (nether is not stable so I would not build there and of course, I would back up my world. Slime would be tricky for sticky piston.

 

However, I am not even sure that redstone contraption can be used to automate anything. Of couse it can be use to make an item elevator to drop items in the blast furnace or used to be able to drop sand/gravel in the sluice, but I am not sure if the dropper would work properly with anything.

 

I think the dev are plaing some sort of automation, but it would not rely on any advanced technology.

 

 

I would like to know what kind of contraption you are thinking of.

well, redstone is kinda awkward for TFC....

 

But on one had it is a shame to let a pretty good system like redstone lie.

On the other hand, a mechanical-energy system could fit it with the game, and allow creative redstone-y stuff like gates and such and such

 

I have a link somewhere if you're interested about mechanical stuff ideas(or, go look in the suggestions )

Actually, I don't mind typical vanilla redstone system, despite all nice things you could do with it, to be unavailable in default TFC. The thing is, most of what redstone is used for beside some 'artistic pieces' is automation and help with grinding of natural resources, mob farms and so on. I understand that some may enjoy such things in vanilla Minecraft but I sincerely believe it would be horrible for TFC and make lot of team effort regarding in-game exploration, work and survival go to waste.

I was mainly not referring to automations of stuff, I'm not really sure that fits too well with TFC, TFC is all about survival. automating everything doesn't necessarily fit in. I just love the creative freedom you get when you have pistons, comparators, repeaters and hoppers to work with. It adds a whole other layer of creativity within minecraft. and it saddens me to the redstone already implemented in TFC not really being used for anything. (I will definitely try to see if I can do a workaround like you mentioned)if it doesn't get implemented

try something, and report us your experimentations

I'm sure some will be please to read them.

I mostly like building hidden doors or massive gates with redstone, and I did miss that in TFC. But some system with chains and counter weights would be cooler, and fit the style better I think.

In the meantime, I use the custom recipe option from Custom NPCs to add in pistons and such.

Any attempt I have made to enter the nether has resulted in a game crash that prevents me from re-entering the world so I would avoid it for now. In the past build it worked, it just doesn't right now

I never tried. I tought it was not working before but now was more stable. Guess I was wrong.
