FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This is a (currently) small mod working towards the automation of certain processes. You can move items onto a belt, take them off if you wish and they can go into a chest. As well as this, you can smelt things more efficiently with industrial furnaces and automatically move them to a chest with pneumatic takers!

This is amazing!

Yes. I love you. Adding to my game as soon as I wake up tomorrow.

Awesome! There's a new update coming out soon that adds an arm that can take things out of furnaces and chests, and maybe even an industrial furnace.

I'll need to try it out soon, but from what I can see for now, it looks very promising.

Version 0.2 is released! A few tweaks to existing items, as well as a gear for crafting, pneumatic takers, smoke tubes and industrial furnaces!

Perfect a new update good job!

Minor update released, fixing a bug where the industrial furnace background would not load correctly. As it's such a small update, I've just replaced the file. Download link is the same as before.

Version 0.3 is released! Another gear for you to craft and queued pneumatic movers in event that there's no room for your items.

0.3 YES PERFECT

+1
Very nice

Thanks for the feedback, everybody! v0.4 may be coming soon!

+1 looks awesome.

v0.4 is now out! A new machine called a Compressor is added, which can be used to make some bricks for decoration, and will be a key element to alternative power sources in future versions! As well as this, there are now faster takers, and a major bugfix where takers would not drop out items from containers when there was just one to remove.

Have fun!

This is a complete rip off of Pipeworks

No. Just no.

I'm sorry but if you look at pipeworks it does the exact same thing, there is nothing different besides different things to craft to the same the pipes do and add a few fancy things that are already in the default game.

I like this mod, and almost better than pipeworks, mainly because this mod (hopefully) has more to come than just this. Don't let negative feedback keep you down is what I say. Take it and improve your work.

Wrong community. We don't hate on ripoffs here, because innovation is based on combining ideas from different sources in a new way. This is exactly what this mod does. Go back to the Minecraft Forums.

This mod doesn't transport items in tubes - it uses an assembly line!
It's not a ripoff, it's an alternative or even extention (?)!

Don't blame anyone for "stealing" a mod unless you have checked the mod codes and textures; Again, this is mostly irrelevant here, as all mods are open-source, and all one needs to do is give credit. This is a free culture environment, you are free to do whatever you like to.

Also, please don't bash people who have wronged; asie, I do understand where you are coming from, but in a way, we do hate it when someone steals code and does bad stuff with it.

I'm not hating on this mod, I'm just showing ricks point before you all blow up in his face. So stop getting angry, he's just stating his opinion.

I'm with hoodedice on this one, everybody. Thank you for the feedback, though.

This looks very nice.

As for the pipeworks discussion, the pipeworks code is outdated. It needs to be rewritten. Currently it is impossible to extend pipeworks in another mod. Bring on the 'rip-offs', if it actually wakes the pipeworks developers up, or contributes a better version.

Whenever I use the industrial furnace, the game crashes. No error code.

Strange. What version of Minetest are you running? I've tested this on 0.4.9, sfan5's latest in a minetext-NeXt world.

Very interesting mod. Im lookin forward to see your next ideas. Keep up the good work.

I see a possible problem using this in place of pipeworks. Anyone can walk up and take the stuff on the conveyor belt, or even just stand next to it thanks to the "drops" mod. This would be cool in singleplayer, or on a private server with just you and a few friends you can trust, but on a public server I think you would get ripped off 24/7. If I'm wrong, please tell me, also please tell me how you protect the entities. With pipeworks, the entities are inside of tubes so you can't take them.

In a future update, it's going to support protection mods so the selection box will just be large enough that you can't even select the conveyor belt properly unless you have permission too. I'm looking into that when I complete the power update, which should be pretty soon.

Hi, I haven’t tried this mod yet, but I wonder wheather you had the idea from my old experimental conveyor belt mod. Anyways, it is great to see someone else tries to implement conveyor belts.
I’ll try this mod later.
