[Mod Request] Auto-Furnace

[cheapie]

I was hoping somebody could make a furnace that could take objects from a locked chest on one side, smelt/cook/whatever them, and output the result into a locked chest on the other side. The fuel would come from a pipe (from the oil mod) carrying fuel.

[Calinou]

Probably possible but very tricky (you have to take an item from a chest then put it in a furnace using Lua).

[PilzAdam]

Its not that tricky. Just make an ABM on furnaces check weather the burn-slot it empty. When it is you can search for chests and get there inventory with "minetest.env:get_meta(pos):get_inventory()" and then get the first stack "inv:get_stack("main", 1)", delete it in the chest"inv:set_stack("main", 1, nil)" and place it in the furnace with "furnace_in:set_stack("src", 1, stack)".

[cheapie]

Now that I think about it... how about just a furnace that, when there is no fuel, turns a nearby oil:pipe_fuel into an oil:pipe_empty and adds an oil:fuel_bucket to the fuel slot? I don't really care about the chest operations too much.

I managed to get the fuel part working (from a fuel pipe running underneath it). Here's the init.lua:

This sounds a lot like the buildcraft/industrialcraft mod in minecraft

[SegFault22]

propane power :D

[chris36202]

hmm thats nice i put my ores when im done mineing then wela maby it can be like in the tecnic mod elcrit power not coal

[tinoesroho]

I had a working "Rail-furnace" script that would take ores from a cart and smelt it over in the carts thread. It's nice, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to dump the result back into a cart.
