I was among the many in the San Lorenzo Valley in California that had to evacuate due to the August Lightning Complex fire. There may be somewhat less activity with my mods while we recover. My family is safe and relocated so I feel very fortunate despite likely losing our home. Thank you for your ...

Clarification -- does the hot biome temperature requirement also applies to TA4 street lamp solar cells, https://github.com/joe7575/techage/blob ... solar-cell?

Thanks.

Thanks but this patch was provided by Thomas-S, not me :)

Thank you, Thomas--S! :D

I guess I will have to update my code as well as TechAge is a superb mod and deserves more support by the community. That would be very cool! I'm kind of missing the miner's chest and a couple of biogas machines -- freezer and compactor. These machines/tools would still fit Tech Age. Correct - but ...

Hi micu, I want to register baborium ore found in techage mod, https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24619, on the minertools ore list. Is it just simply adding these lines on minertools/init.lua : if minetest.global_exists("techage") then find_ore_list[#find_ore_list + 1] = &...

I only got the cobblestone and no cables after digging the plastered cable. Is this the expected behavior? Yes, you have the use the trowel again to "unplaster" the cable and to get the cobblestone back. Cool update fix/patch -- plaster node can't be inadvertently removed. Liking it a lot...

Clarification -- the maximum length of ta4 tubes ( techage:ta4_tubeS ) is 200 blocks, right? If I wanted to extend the length, say, as far as another hundred blocks, will putting a chest-pusher combo between the 200-block and 100-block lengths somehow extend it? If so, do I need to place a force blo...

FYI - Elavotor (hyperloop:elevator_bottom) eats up front grating (techpack_stairway:grating) whenever I use and/or remove (punch) it.

Odd block, techage:lightblock . Got this from a T4 quarry machine. Grabbed it, gave it a few right clicks and it disappeared. The block texture changed from water to torch, and back. It's invisible as an inventory item. 2020-07-29 00:15:03: ACTION[Server]: xyz places node techage:lightblock at (585,...

To increase the power capacity / endurance, change the line 26 in basis.lua signs_bot.MAX_CAPA = 600 But I will make it configurable. Got it, thanks. The command low_batt <percent> is used to query the battery charge in percent. If the value falls below this, the bot switches off. Here are the comm...

Cool and great mod -- pretty handy in descending caverns and chambers. :)

FYI -- ropes:ropesegment has the same crafting recipe as default:paper.

Couple of queries... I'm trying to dig a 16 x 16 x 1 area (where 1 is the height of the area) using the "sign command" but the signs bot just ends up digging just half of the area. I've also tried laying blocks (same dimensions, 16 x 16 x 1) and it also ends up placing blocks almost half o...

settingtypes.txt is only a definition file. It is parsed by the main menu settings dialogue to list mod-specific settings in the "Mods" category. So, you have to change that in the main menu settings. Oh right... thanks! Also, just found out you can do the tweak via minetest.conf : ta4_je...

How far can signs bots build/move -- how many mapblocks? Will they build/move on/through loaded/unloaded mapblocks?

Tried to increase the inventory items (so players can bring along essential stuff, e.g. food, water (thirsty mod), light source, orienteering tools (orienteering mod), binoculars, and/or death compass). It seems tweaking it via settingtypes.txt does not work: ta4_jetpack_max_num_inv_items (maximum n...

Clarification -- fuel cells can't charge a thermal energy storage?

The Signs Bot has the same Ethereal problem with the flowers as Techage. It can't work, I have to fix that first...

OK.

The dig command works well, though, as an alternative for the time being. :D

I'm trying to farm/harvest a 3x3 flower bed using signs_bot but can't seem to do so. Here's my setup: https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?id=22258 Isn't the set of commands just: turn_right cutting But somehow the cutting command does not work; the bot would just stay there and do nothing. ...

I found the grow-light issue. Ethereal was the cause. Try the update from https://github.com/joe7575/techage Thanks, it works now. :) I was waiting for it to fill up the 3x3 compost so I can provide a screenshot but ended up harvesting the flowers instead since they occasionally will disappear(?) o...

On ground, yes. Under water, I don't know, I haven't decided yet. Perhaps I will make a special under water jet/scooter... Cool! Some suggestions (if you don't mind) since you have introduced the use of a jet pack, you may want to consider evolving it into a power/exoskeleton suit. Initially, you c...

Do you really have flowers?

When I search for flowers in the inventory, I get this:

Yes, here's mine:

+100 Very fun to use once you get the hang of the controls. Good for medium distance and vertical explorations. The training mat is indeed essential for first timers, and for play time by just simply soaring as high as you can and let yourself bounce back on the mat safely. The jetpack lets you move...

Try the update from https://github.com/joe7575/techage

Same, still no flowers. I'm using this commit version, https://github.com/joe7575/techage/comm ... 8c3425e601.
