Technic machines work with pipeworks. Only the LV ones don't.

Quick Question. How can you rotated movestones? I have found a really good use for them but need to be able to rotate the movestone.

[GreenDimond]

Movestones are part of Mesecons

Oops brain fart LOL. Thanks for letting me know.

After some recent commits to Technic to improve things, if you get crashes when moving stuff in chests, please update your copy of minetest_game to commit 37dd9107 or later, and your copy of Minetest engine to a suitable build also.

[Linuxdirk]

The release version should totally be compatible with current MT release. For dev stuff there should be a dev branch.

[VanessaE]

This mod doesn't target stable Minetest releases, and really never has. However, if you need something that works on 0.4.15, I'd guess just clone the Technic repository and roll back to commit d3f40e0f or perhaps a little earlier. If you can't use git, then this ZIP (which points to that commit) might do the trick, though I can't guarantee it.

I updated Technic, then I updated Minetest, but the power cables still appear as solid blocks, are they supposed to look like that?

[VanessaE]

Your minetest is still out of date - you need a development build.

[Jesseman1]

how do I get a development build?

PS. Where can I find an up-to-date recipe list?

[VanessaE]

get one of sfan5's builds, https://minetest.kitsunemimi.pw/builds/

As for an up-to-date recipe list, I can only suggest you use a craft guide like that included in Unified Inventory.

[Jesseman1]

Thanks

It doesn't seem to be working; I replaced all the old files with the new ones, but when I boot up the game, it says it's still version 0.4.13

EDIT: Did I put the file in the wrong place? Where exactly am I supposed to extract the files, and do I need to delete any old ones?

[VanessaE]

It's impossible for me to know what you did wrong, but you just extract the archive wherever you want, and make a point of going there to run the game.

You don't have to delete old versions, as long as you are 100% sure that you won't mix them up (that includes mixing up portable builds with a system-installed build, as can happen on Linux).

Ok, the Minetest that I play was downloaded from the Ubuntu Software Center and has an autorun icon, but only goes up to 0.4.13. The current version from sfan5's builds does not have an autorun icon, so I don't know how to play it... Help please?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the executable file.

I believe I saw you post that you are running Ubuntu, but I don't recall if you are using Xenial or Zesty.
Ahh, it must be Xenial if the software center has MT 0.4.13. You can get 0.4.15 stable by installing from the PPA I saw linked in another thread. Instructions for installing can be found on that page.

If, as Vanessa mentioned, you want to run a dev version on Ubuntu you have a choice. You either compile it yourself. Instructions are in the Ubuntu forum. OR, you could run the sfan5 within Wine/PlayOnLinux.

BTW, I am using MT 0.4.15 from that PPA I linked above on LinuxMint 18.1, which is based on Ubuntu Xenial.

[dawgdoc]

Sfan5's builds are for Windows.

For Ubuntu, use the daily builds PPA instead: https://launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+ar ... ily-builds

Thanks, for adding about the daily builds. I do recall seeing that link posted on another thread (you also ?). That should be easier for Jesseman1 than compiling from source. And probably much better than running a Windows version under Wine.

Wait, how were you able to change the thread title?
