So I noticed that there aren't many digiline input/output devices right now. But there are some: digiline-suff (my fork, because the original is not maintained anymore) : digiboard (a keyboard) digilines_memory digiprinter (prints single papers, not full books) digiline_memory (comparable with digi...

Digilines doesn't have any text input devices, and the only output device is the LCD (Which has a very limited amount of space.) This mod adds an input/output terminal. Received messages are added to the output text box, and you can send messages by typing in the input field. Separate digiline chann...

I think it might be better to have:
"interact/use" (default: right click)
"use" (default: shift+right click)
"interact" (default: none)
That way you're not forced to use shift.

You should use "group:wood" in the feedlot recipe, so it can be crafted with all types of wood.
EDIT: The milker duplicates buckets. This is not entirely your fault, and to fix it requires a change to the mobs_animals mod: https://notabug.org/TenPlus1/mobs_animal/pulls/2

Many nodes have `on_place`/`after_place_node` functions that change the node type/facedir when they are placed (For example, when you place a slab, it turns upside down if you placed it on the top half of a node). However, because these are handled by the server, it can take a fraction of a second b...

Though, it appears to only work with full nodeboxes I've planned to make a RP to change this. It's just so much work to get the correct selection box of a node because of the rotation. https://github.com/DS-Minetest/minetest/blob/more_generic_fine_pointed/builtin/common/misc_helpers.lua#L723-L798 M...

Some time ago I've used the same way to place technic cable plates. ( https://github.com/minetest-mods/technic/blob/29f746369f756651c60031a7c86194d79d47a4ce/technic/machines/register/cables.lua#L203-L236 ) There are multiple mods that use this exact pointed pos, eg. digipad . Oh, nice, I didn't kno...

Ok, I renamed the mod and fixed *part* of the problem with gates. The input wires will change color to match the state of each input. However, I didn't do the same for the output, for a few reasons. If I did this, then all the gates pointing IN to a circuit would have to update every time it changes...

Sort of like Technic cables? technic cables connect to all 6 sides always. Afaik the not insulated ones here are comparable but for the insulated ones you can decide to what sides they connect. Btw. if not insulated cables really connect to all sides, you don't need to register so many nodes for th...

I've tested it now. Btw. it would be convenient for installers if there were links on the forum page to the forum pages of the dependencies. (added) Great mod! The design is nice, the output is always red, you can climb the wires and gates. The placement of the wires works great. All in all, I'd li...

Yeah this is very annoying...
It should be relatively simple to fix, though.

It would be nice to have a direct link to the git repo and not only t the download btw.

Ok I added the link

The current textures are just temporary, and hopefully I'll make some better ones soon...

Yeah, that does exactly what I needed

This mod adds mesecon wires that connect in all 6 directions, as well as tools for adding/removing insulation and changing the shape of insulated wires. It also includes all of the 1 and 2-input logic gates, which can be rotated using the screwdriver. There are 256 different insulated wire colors. h...

I've been working on a mod that adds some new wires: http://kland.smilebasicsource.com/i/pzzqz.png The wires connect in 6 directions and there are tools for adding/removing insulation to placed wires, as well as changing the shape of insulated wires. I'm almost done adding a system that lets you cha...

Switching seems rather pointless and inconvenient for everyone...

Haven't tried this yet but most def will at some point to test it and maybe use it in my games :-D I was wondering why you use the painting mod's way of determining where on the face you are clicking though... I happen to know there is a way to determine the absolute coordinate of the intersection ...

Right now there's no easy way to find out what part of a node the player is looking at, using the Lua API. (That is, the exact position where the camera vector first intersects with a node/entity selection box) It's relatively simple to figure out when you're dealing with full nodes, but complex nod...

It would be better to check the groups rather than the name, like: local definition=minetest.registered_nodes[newnode.name] if definition and (definition.groups.slab or definition.groups.stair) then ... Adding that as well could be good yes, but that wont catch any stairs/slabs not in the stair/sla...

Adding this code to the init.lua lets this apply to all slabs. I added stairs to it as well because I was fine with the behavior of it. ... This should catch all slabs or stairs nodes if they are named properly. And yes, it still respects protection. I should also note: This allows the stair functi...

Is there a way to get the player's camera position? Not the value set by set_eye_offset, just the position that is normally 1.625 units above the player location.
I don't want to just hard code it to be 1.625 units, and anyway, it's not always exactly 1.625 because of view bobbing.

A long time ago, I had this idea for placing slabs in all orientations: http://kland.smilebasicsource.com/i/twxce.png Now I finally decided to actually do it: http://kland.smilebasicsource.com/i/kilxj.png https://github.com/12Me21/place_rotated/archive/master.zip So... right after I write 300 lines ...

While many of my arguments are based on my opinion, there is another reason.
I used to say that consistency is more important than quality, but now I think it's more than that: Quality IS consistency; it's when everything looks "right", and fits in.

We need to fix these before it's too late... -- Bad textures . I know that not everyone is great at making textures (I'm not), but it isn't hard to use pieces from existing textures, with some editing.
