How to craft autocrafter?

[VanessaE]

I don't think autocrafter has a recipe yet.

[Traxie21]

Could you maybe make the pipes a bit thicker? athey seem a bit illogically small to me.

Also, lower-res textures please?

[Jordach]

Make autocrafters that craft autocrafters which crafts autocrafters.

[VanessaE]

The size of the pipes is right where I wanted it to be actually. Textures have to be 64px because anything lower looks like ass due to the way they apply over the nodeboxes.

[VanessaE]

Temperest just contributed the following Autocrafter recipe to pipeworks git, which I've merged:

steel mese steel
plastic steel plastic
steel mese steel

Mese refers to default:mese, e.g. the usual yellow mese blocks.

This mod will keep me busy for a while, automation for the win!

this mod cant load and run why?

[Likwid H-Craft]

this mod cant load and run why?

Don't have the right mods?

Edit:Or you didn't name the file "pipeworks" without ""

do we need a new file?

[Likwid H-Craft]

No, you just rename the "VanessaE-pipeworks-d4c2b16" to "pipeworks" if you have, the right mods for it. but I think VanessaE should update this to least build.

[VanessaE]

Pipeworks is fine with current Minetest git. I keep my local build up-to-date. That said, the mod does need rewritten to take advantage of the new "6d facedir" code, but I'm not about to do that right now - it would be a major rewrite.

[Kacey]

Hey guys check out https://github.com/Kaceyproductions/pipeworks to help develop mesecon tubes that will conduct electricity

[Nore]

You should perhaps use the rules of mese instead of those of standart mesecons, because it won't conduct vertically right now. Anyway, this is good! I wanted to do it before, but I was lasy:)

[Likwid H-Craft]

VanessaE what, the pipes called in the code so, I can size them to normal since, I am making a City/World that be huge.

[VanessaE]

It's been a while since I looked at my own code, but I believe pipes are named pipe_xxyyzz_empty and pipe_xxyyzz_loaded, where empty and loaded refer to whether the pipe appears to have a liquid in it (no or yes, respectively).

The xxyyzz part is a 6-bit field for the directions the pipe exits the node. I believe I put them in -X, +X, -Y, +Y, -Z, +Z order. For each '1' in that field, there is a half-node-wide pipe segment leading from the center of the node to the associated face (so 101101 would be pipe segments leading to the -X, -Y, +Y, and +Z faces).

Tubes are named and defined similarly.

Pipes and tubes are built up algorithmically from six fixed, half-length nodebox models, one per face. With 6 bits, excluding the empty '000000' definition (which is aliased to the full-length, horizontal "this is what you have in your inventory" pipe), there are 63 each of loaded and empty pipes, and 63 tubes also.

So how I make them block wide but with the pipe look?

[jojoa1997]

So how I make them block wide but with the pipe look?

set the nodebox values to 1

[VanessaE]

Just change the code in the nodebox models. Each table represents one segment of pipe, you just need to supply nodebox models that look larger. How you will devise those models I leave to you.

[Likwid H-Craft]

Thanks :) Hey, VanessaE do you Like have, a Building in Likwid City?

Edit:Umm...What is the Pump Box size thing called so I can, resize the, top part of it to 1 so it not odd.

[VanessaE]

I do not build on any other servers the present time (I have a house on Redcrab's server though).

As for the pump box "size thing",. I do not understand your question.

[Evergreen]

Somehow, I haven't truly appreciated the greatness of this mod until now. Such an amazing mod, keep it up! :D

[VanessaE]

Thanks, on behalf of myself and Nore and everyone else who has contributed to it :-)

[Miner_48er]

Great mod. A request pipe would be useful.

[Luke123]

Best mod in the world! Thank you VanessaE!

[Inocudom]

When the liquid_finite feature is turned on, that is when this mod's true potential shows. Should survival servers use the liquid_finite feature one day, this mod will be very useful on those servers for transporting large amounts of water and lava.

[VanessaE]

Only thing this mod doesn't do is remove the water node at the pump periodically. Easily done of course, it just never occurred to me to test this with finite water.

[Jordach]

The pipes would make using buckets look like a job for fools.
