Minecart idea

[loki93 0]

i have a suggestion about minecarts:

making minecarts to be able to drop what they have in, you could make a special rail that when a minecart stops completely on it it makes all that was inside the cart get ejected into a direction decided right clicking o the rail, so you could easily fill up a cart with charcoal and ore and send it to dump it all into a bloomery.

Download Railcraft right now.

does railcraft work with this?

lol no

aww

i prefer redpower anyway. I'm *working* on a compatibility patch with a friend right now. It should be done in about a year as my schedule looks something like this:

learn more java (specifically netcode)

figure out how MCP works

understand modloader a little better

write patch

so don't expect anything soon

If you have any superior resources to learn java, do me a favor and threw a few links my way

I think before we talk a lot about minecarts, we should wait for bioxx to come to a conclusion about redstone and power, because obviously minecarts heavily depend on that.

Btw: I think booster rails are pretty hilarious but not really realistic. What about actual mine trains... sorry, not sure what to call them (German). Those little things that drive in mines and use coal.

/me prefers to program in C (and as of late, C# since it's better than the JS that Unity uses heh).

Railcraft will work with this mod, if you can get all the Block IDs right, but you would not be able to craft the items legit in a survival game

-back to offtopic-

My best resource for learning java is an older friend of mine (programmer )

That and codingbat.com for practice

-back to topic-

Railcraft could work if you turned on compatibility recipes.

WHAT?! Well, I guess I'll do it in a post: Thank you Peffern, I guess I'll need to find me a teacher then as well ;-)

/me likes Peffern's last post

ok thx lol. However I agree. A lot of what made transition to steampowered age etc. was machines doing work. And that means item transportation. With tfc growing the way it is, we may need automation. Also, I find railcraft relatively useless without the rest of the techmods, and buildcraft/redpower makes it relatively useless, so I would like to see the minecart system get some love in TFC.

As I see it now, a minecart will be a massive investment in the current TFC tech/resource model. I'm sure whatever Bioxx has planned for them, they will be very useful.

The current temporary recipes are fairly high yield, but it was probably made that way to make people stop whining about transportation (myself included among them). I definitely foresee some nerfing when he gets back to it.
