FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Maybe you should make the markers one node high, so they won't look like they protect more area than they really do. Also, it would be cool if you could see the boundaries of the protected area, like if you click a button in the menu, it will spawn entities that show the edges of the area, so you ca...

I'm still waiting for a feature to build moving structures in the sky to do some battles over there :) Replicators are quite useless here because it's easy to put a stack of bananas in your inventory and there's mostly too much food in the world. (at least when farming_plus is activated) Also repli...

Also technic has some futureistic stuff, like a force field generetor, though it's a pretty large mod and has a lot of dependencies, so you might want to remove some features or at least remove some of the dependancies

Travelnet adds teleporters

O, and hello.

Can I see the code?

Most default mesecons can conduct to the blocks next to them (at the same height) and the ones above and below this. http://i57.tinypic.com/15qyovn.png This is really inconvenient, and can lead to situations where 2 wires look like they connect, but actually don't. http://i61.tinypic.com/2hs6rzb.png...

Does anyone know what "mesecon.flattenrules(rules)" does?

This is a graph of my memory usage while playing on the server, having my game crash, and then trying to reconnect 8 times:


Anyway, I made a taller antenna! (not finished yet)

You can use pistons to separate the refrigerator halfs, and then the top is unbreakable. there are 3 solutions:
worst: make refrigerators not pushable by pistons
ok: make the top half have a selection box
best: make it act like the travelnet boxes

The one thing that I learned about pixel art for small, but realistic, is that nothing in the natural world is smooth and not noisy. I like more noise, because it seems more like rugged, beaten up terrain. It looks too rough though. Paths are usually pretty smooth (but not flat) because people walk...

This is really weird, I'll have do some lighting tests later

where is it detecting the light? maybe the coordinates are offset one block down from the plant.

Is it just the corium that destroys blocks, or does the chernobylite do it too?

if the glass is 2 spaces above: The inside of the glass is light level 15 The node below it has a light level of 14 The wheat is light level 13. So apparently the wheat actually needs a light level of 14 , so the glass needs to be right next to it. That doesn't make sense compare to what the actual...

They can get laggy, yes, but mostly because motors and frames can be used to move things like node breakers, such that they can cut wide, practically unlimited paths through the landscape without any recourse. Last time I had them enabled on this server, someone used them to cut a 5x5 or so trench ...

So apparently the wheat actually needs a light level of 14, so the glass needs to be right next to it.

It would also be cool if you could pump water out of the sponge, so then you could have an underwater city that uses sponge to keep out the water (however this is kind of advanced, so It might be hard to do)

Mesecons. You can remove some features but please leave in microcontrollers.
If you're worried about creating too much lag, then I would suggest not using homedecor, or only using some of the features. It is a really big mod.

Sounds like an admin pick which I certainly would not trust players with... :P It wasn't from map tools, it was just a mod that I made, mostly because we were trying to dig to the center of the earth and needed to go faster. The ability to break cloud was just added in case I needed it in the future.

Looks like it has some additional features (growing in size, cooking for getting water back). That might be pretty nice. Does it also pick up other liquids? Removing lava spills or that green hurting liquid in carbone might be further uses for a sponge. I only made it pick up water. This is a work ...

This looks pretty cool. You might want to make the textures a little more detailed, and instead of using a bunch of different textures for the different amounts of water stored in it, I think you could just use [colorize to darken the texture slightly (i'm not exactly sure how)

Why are technic frames disabled? I know they can be used to grief stuff, but so can pistons and movestones, not to mention lava, water, and especially corium.

Is it because of lag?

It would be awesome if you could connect these to digilines/luacontrollers, and use them to adjust the prices. This might cause some problems with people "hacking" other people's shops with luacontrollers, but this could probably be fixed by only letting the owner place digilines and luaco...

Wow, this looks amazing!! I especially like the grey stone brick corners, and the brown wood corners. However, you might want to add more shading to the wood and stone corners, as they look kind of flat. Also, I don't really think it's necessary to have so many different colors, but that's probably ...

It also highlights one of the big issues with the block sandbox genre. There's no tutorial system that can effectively introduce new concepts to players. Everyone's always stuck consulting some fanmade wiki to learn the games recipes and concepts. Quite a few large Minecraft mods don't even provide...

One time I had a farm with a roof made from the transparent ice from moontest. All the plants grew, except one that was directly under a torch. This led me to believe that plants will not grow if there is anything besides air one block above. Is this true? Also, it would be nice to be able to tell w...

Singleplayer, Multiplayer, New server and settings would be good options for the main menu. Texturepacks might as well be handled withhin the settings tab, Same goes for mods and credits.

you shouldn't have to use mese blocks to transmit power upwards. There seem to be vertical mesecon lines. It's still not easy. Wiring up the whole machinery is usually more trouble than anything else. It's a lot trial and error... vertical mesecons are only useful in very specific situations, since...
