Most default mesecons can conduct to the blocks next to them (at the same height) and the ones above and below this.

This is really inconvenient, and can lead to situations where 2 wires look like they connect, but actually don't.
This mod fixes this by allowing most mesecon devices to only conduct to the nodes touching them (not diagonally)


Nodes:
Microcontroller with 6 ports --64 nodes
Lightstone --2 nodes
Toggle Switch (acts like normal mesecon switch) --2 nodes
"Button" Switch (acts like a button, but connects better) --2 nodes
improved Wire (connects like tubes from pipeworks) --128 nodes

Download: no one cares, so what's the point

There was instructions for building something cool here, but i removed it.

Lol, I accidentally added an abm that makes chests "grow"... I was testing something I was going to post in the modding questions forum...

Do your mesecons wires have different nodes for enabled and disabled wires or do you use the meta or param1 or something similar?

there are different nodes (128, to be exact. but that's nothing compared to default mesecons with 512 (minus a few impossible states))

BTW: Jeija worked on different mesecons wires:

How do they connect? are those the ones that can be placed on any side of a block?? I head that it uses a huge number of different nodes, and that's why it wasn't used.

idk, as far as l know Jeija didn't publish the code

The code for these is here: https://github.com/Ekdohibs/wires.
There was a discussion about it, it is still there https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-mesecons/issues/128.
