FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Happy Sunday to all y'all!

Here's a pack I've just completed. There are a few things about setting it up, then I'll jump into actually playing with it.

To download, you have two options: Tarballs, or git.

For the git method, cd into wherever you want to put the mods (either a game/*/mods directory or the global mods directory). Then,



Once that's done, you should have everything you need. If you don't have it already, you'll need the farming mod from PilzAdam. You can also get it from my gitorious repository with the following (make sure you're back in the mods directory you want):



If you want to update the mod from a git checkout, run



To download a versioned release tarball, go to http://marktraceur.info/minetest-mods/industry_pack/ and pick your poison.

Changelog

* 0.1.0 - Finished modpack, including transactors and factories and a buttload of useful craftitems.
* 0.1.1 - Bugfix, factories would only look for one of each thing in the recipe (major bug, please update)
* 0.1.2 - Bugfix, don't allow mining the factory if there are items in the inventory
* 0.1.3 - Bugfix, don't crash if a rubber collector is the target of the transactor.

gears

Gears just adds a craftitem to the game. It can be crafted like so:



rubber

Rubber is a fork from PilzAdam's farming_plus mod that only adds rubber trees. You'll find them in nature sometimes (very rarely). Use a bucket and left-click to gather rubber. You'll need it for the conveyor mod. The rubber tree's leaves will also decay into rubber tree saplings.

rubber_collector

This is a convenience thing that makes it easier to harvest rubber. You put the node somewhere, then you click on it with a bucket of rubber to deposit. The collector has a capacity that's identical to the chest, except that you can't access the inventory. Use a transactor (below) to get rubber_base out of the collector and into a chest or furnace.

Craft like so:



rubber_sheets

Rubber sheets are the intermediary step between rubber buckets and conveyor belts (below). Craft a bucket of rubber to get rubber base, then cook it in a furnace to get a rubber sheet.

conveyor

Conveyor belts, a new craftitem. Craft like so:



mecharm

Mechanical arms, another new craftitem. Craft like so:



transactor

A node that moves things from one node to another. Useful for assembly lines, auto-smelting, and distribution lines.

Craft like so:



Use it by putting it between two inventory-type nodes. Chests and furnaces are the only supported things right now (and no locked chests, jointly due to laziness and retrospective security concerns), but that can be very useful.

If a chest is the source, everything is fair game. It will start at the bottom right and, until it finds something, will move left and up. The first thing it finds that is wanted by the destination node will be moved.

If a furnace is the source, only the destination inventory (i.e., the result of a smelting action) is moveable. Nothing in the fuel or src slots will be moved.

If a chest is the destination, then anything it can grab from the source will be moved.

If a furnace is the destination, fuel-type things (even if they're otherwise smeltable) will be moved into the fuel slot, and cookable things will be moved into the source slot. If neither cookable nor fuel-type items are available, no move occurs.

Conclusion

Hopefully this is useful to someone, I spent enough time on it :)

Oh, and please, if you're good with textures, consider contributing CC-BY-SA textures for these things. I'm not an artist, clearly.

Thanks!

Hu ?? Gears, belts, arms...
That's amazing !
I hope you will be successfull !

Thanks!

Updating the post for the latest versions.

Note, some updates went through and now the transactors should work properly with furnaces and in all directions. I'll test more fully in the future, too, as well as come up with some more generic interfaces for the repetitive stuff (so expect to see a commit with -200 +20 or something insane).

please post download, git thing too complex
just post download, make simpler

I couldn't find out how to download it normally until I looked it up, it would be easier to simply post a download link for those without git.
EDIT: It turns out that all of the folders are empty. Time to download them all the hard way...
EDIT2: Nope, there's no way to get the init.luas and textures of the mod, I give up.
DL please.

shame no download as well, looks so amazing

I'm not yet ready to release a download, but I will work on it after I write and release the factory mod as well.

Until then, your best bet is to A) download each mod separately or B) download it using git. I've given ample directions for B, and I can add the instructions for A later.

If you want to download it using git, git is available in distribution repositories very easily, and available for non-free OSes as well (though I can't help you find how to install it). I would strongly suggest installing it, as it's useful for much more than just distributing software--versioning config files is a very good way to make sure you never make a fatal mistake in a config step :)

Sorry I haven't served your needs yet, but it should be ready soon.

Some early .zip package for people who want to try it now without installing Git: http://ompldr.org/vZ2U4eQ/industry-modpack.zip

Awesome mod! Now I won't have to craft tons of things myself :)
+100 my friend.

Very useful mod, but when placing a transactor between a rubber collector and a chest, (after punching the collector with a stack of buckets) I got this error: with 0.4.4.

Thanks, will look into it soon. Sorry it caused you trouble!

can an electric furnace from technic be used or does it have to be a coal furnace

Hello,

I've just rename the "factory" folder of this modpack to "factories" to use it along with the mod [Mod] Factory [0.5.0.1] [factory]
