Automation

This mod adds some machines to your minetest world!
With these machines you can automate many things.

You can connect the machines using axles and you need to power them with a steam engine or a crank.



Just try it out!

How would I turn on the steam engine here? I get no infotext feedback if it's active or not.

Place the boiler near the steam engine :)
You dont need a axle to connect a boiler to a steam engine.

PS : I will create a wiki for this mod soon :)

UPDATE

• added slime block
• added slime carpet
• added fan

+ Fan

You can use the fan to move items/players.
To move players you need a slime carpet. (take a look at the screenshot)
You need to power the fan using a axle that is connected to a steam engine/crankshaft.

+ Slime Block

The slime block is a really bouncy block. If you jump on it, you wont get fall damage.

+ Slime Carpet

The slime carpet is also really bouncy, you can use it to transport players with fans. (take a look at the screenshot)

+ Screenshots

You can transport players using a slime carpet and a fan:



You can transport items using a fan:

UPDATE

• added bevel gear
• metal chests drop their inv when you power them

+ Bevel Gear

The Bevel Gear is used to distribute energy to axles/machines near it.

+ Metal Chest

If you power the metal chest with more than 100 energy, it will drop its whole inventory.
If you power it with more than 10 energy, but less than 100, it will drop only one item.

+ Screenshots

I build a little machine to test the new items:



This machine can drop all ingredients for a diamond pick (2 sticks + 3 diamonds).

Just want to pop in and show my appreciation of this mod. Most machines are very thoughtfully put together i regards to both function and design. Trying this out on a private server with 10 players. It is the only machine typ of mod I've found that is not over-featured and/or ugly. You've got something great in progress here, trust your instincts and keep it simple! I'll come back with a bit more specific feedback later.

Nice mod and textures! Could you add dispensers?

Thank you :)
You can use metal chests instead of dispensers. They will drop their inventory when you power them. (see description above ^)

Great! I hope it will be quite stable and wont cause many server crashes.

UPDATE

+ Crusher

The crusher is used to duplicate ores. You can put in iron/gold lumps and you will get iron/gold dust. If you melt iron/gold dust you will get iron/gold ingots

+ Strong Metal Chest

The strong metal chest can store up to 7128 blocks/items (12*6*99). Its inventory is 12 slots width and 6 slots height.

+ Magnet

If you power a magnet it will teleport all items around it above it.

+ magnet

• why not accelerate the items towards the magnet?
• add a strong magnet, which attracts all entities, not only items
