there is wiki https://github.com/ac-minetest/basic_machines/wiki/mover:

inventory: useful for moving items between two nodes with inventories. You must select inventories from inventory list dropdown right to source/target fields in setup.

Thanks, rnd!

OK, then there is something wrong on The sea is my life. While the power cells stack up in the battery (and ofc much free capacity), they are not consumed and do not recharge it. Any ideas?

Have fun, noob101

Hi rnd, so I tried to create a perpetuum power cell mover mobile using a generator to generate batteries and then move them to the battery underneath the furnace. All the movers are triggered by a distributor, the distributor is on top of a clock generator. For some reason the power cells get stuck in the first battery. It is correctly moving all the power cells from the generator to the first battery until the battery is fully loaded at 25 cells. They are however not transported to the second battery underneath the furnace :-(

I checked all the movers to make sure they are set to inventory, source and target set to "fuel" and that they point to the correct nodes, but everything looks ok....

Have you tried this scenario and got it to work? If so, then it might be a problem with the server (Cash's World) ...

Wonderful mod anyways, even having to do some things manually it still works very well and makes life easier :-)

Many thanks in advance!

Never mind rnd! Just found out that I just need to finish all the power cells in the last battery and then they are moved. The issue was that (obviously) there were 25 cells in the second battery, and the mover tries to move all of them but cannot as there are still cells in the target (duhuh XD). So looks like it works!

OMG OMG OMG! I have a perpetuum diamond mobile factory thingy yay :-D

hi,

mod always checks if action is possible and wont do anything if its not. Examples:
- moving 3 pieces of cobble into chest with only 2 pieces of space left
- moving 10 pieces of cobble but you only have 7 pieces of cobble available
- trying to place something but that spot is already occupied by non air
...

Its not the only mod with "perpetuum mobile" stuff... ever asked yourself where all that infinite energy comes from
when using geothermal/water/wind power in technic. If you want to be purist you can grow fuel - like cactus/trees and only use that to power stuff..

Wind energy comes from the sun, at least.

wind energy comes from the rotation and the magnetic field of the earth. The Space Wind comes from stars

Wind is caused by pressure differences, which are caused by temperature differences, which are caused by the sun's heat. The contribution of the rotation of the Earth is marginal and I have never heard of the magnetic field causing wind.

Its more involved than that [1].

As for "space wind" - if you have charged particles like coming from stars ("solar wind") then yes, magnetic field has a big effect on them [2]

Thanks for the Coriolis effect page. I guess the rotation of the Earth has a more-than-marginal effect, though temperature difference is still the main driver of wind. It's true also that the magnetosphere affects solar wind, but I was talking about air wind in my post. I'm assuming that's also what azekill meant in his post, since he distinguishes solar wind in the next sentence.

Updates:

1.Replaced minetest crafting for machines with Terraria like system, where you simply put materials in inventory and select what you want to craft from list. Machines on the list are sorted in a way to slowly introduce machines to new player.

This mod causes skybox image issues, at least at high altitudes. If I add this mod then teleport to `0,18000,0`, the skybox image doesn't load and these errors occur:

Here's a short video of it happening. In the video, I create a new world and show that the only mods I have enabled are the basic default mods that come with Minetest Game and basic_machines. I also show that I'm using Minetest 0.4.15.

no, you have to add the textures to the "textures" folder of basic_machines or to another mod textures folder but then you have to add this mod to depends.txt (add a "?" to the end of the mod name to make it optional)
the textures are:
"sky_pos_y.png",
"sky_neg_y.png",
"sky_pos_z.png",
"sky_neg_z.png",
"sky_neg_x.png" and
"sky_pos_x.png"
they should explain themselves

It's strange to me that 1.) the initial post doesn't have instructions for this, and 2.) that this is required at all. I would have expected basic_machines to tell me it needs the textures/another mod or to have the textures/other mod already bundled with it. I guess I'm used to most mods either being complete or telling me that extra stuff is required. Like I said, it's just strange to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've tried out this mod. It's a little difficult to play but it can replace mesecons AND technic quite good. But the thing that leaved me most impressed of all was the Recycler. Now, i can't understand the code at all but i thinked: "if the Recycler can return only 75 percent of the stuff used for the crafting why can't it return ALL the stuff?" If this is possible the Recycler would turn into a kind of reverse crafting table device! (Good stuff for a mod)
Cheers, Ruggero.
