[Mod] Gravel Sieve [gravelsieve]

[TechNolaByte]

This is a great mod!
I actually modified another sieve mod so much its basically my own creation and added it to my skytest mod for my skyfactory modpack then I saw Nathan Salapat review this mod and was like "Wow the animations are JUST like Minecraft, awesome!"

Is the gravelsieve hopper-compatible?

Yes, the current version V1.06 supports hopper.
But together with the tubelib nodes Quarry and Grinder [tubelib + tubelib_addons1] it's even more useful.

[Chem871]

It still says it's 1.02.

If I add an ore-containing mod to the optional dependency, will it produce the ores depending on the rarity, or is it a specific item list?

It's a specific item list. Which mod do you want to add?

[Chem871]

Minerdream, it has loads of ores :P

[joe7575]

Gravelsieve changed from internal item list to registered ores.
v1.07 in on GitHub, give it a try.

[Chem871]

Sweet! It looks like your mod is now in Mod Releases, nice work!

Nice mode. Good job. The only problem is that is if hold left click on the sieve is doing nothing while it should keep refine faster

[TechNolaByte]

the ore gen feature is very broken
I set up an auto gravel machine and piped the gravel into several auto sieves

and left it for about 40 min to an hour and this is all I got

clearly broken

[Chem871]

For 1.07, the ore gen is very nice, it works for all ores, but that also means it works for blob ores like dirt and silver sand.

and that would be a major problem

[Chem871]

That's not a major problem for me, but maybe for a server, sure.

well if anybody wants to include this in a skyfactory type modpack(like the one I'm working on) then this is a problem as it means their main source of ores only gets them granite 99% of the time

[Chem871]

I don't use Technic, too much effort for too little outcome.

So then a negative list with unwanted ores is no solution. Any suggestions?

perhaps make a list of ores that get sieved to much and all items on that list wont be registered under the auto world gen ore loot table and instead have their own chance added with them

its very manual and would need to be done with every ore that this happens with but it should fix the problem

[TechNolaByte]

Code: Select all

local percentgravel = {
    {"skytest:diamond_chunks", 5},
    {"default:mese_crystal_fragment 3", 7},
    {"skytest:gold_ore_chunks", 9},
    {"skytest:lapis", 11},
    {"skytest:redstone", 13},
    {"skytest:glowstone", 15},
    {"skytest:tin_ore_chunks", 17},
    {"skytest:copper_ore_chunks", 19},
    {"skytest:iron_ore_chunks", 24},
    {"default:coal_lump", 28},
    {"default:flint", 34},
}
function gravel()
    local chance = math.random(40)
    for _,v in pairs(percentgravel) do
        if chance<v[2] then
            return ItemStack(v[1])
        end
    end
    return nil
end

this is part of the code form the sieve section in my skytest mod I have each possible ore drop in a list with the id and rarity
just call minetest.add_item(pos, dust())
or what ever it is that this mod uses cause my sieves don't use formspecs

perhaps you can sorta do this and have it override any thing registered by the world gen ore sieving function thing
and just write all the materials in the list

[joe7575]

My new idea is to check input against output (drop) of registered ores. Only if this is different, which should be the case for real ores, then it will be added to the gravelsieve probability list. The output of such list is:

The overall probability is 0.2. That means you get a result, different than gravel every fifth time (statistically).
If this is to high/low, you can modify the configuration parameter "gravelsieve_ore_rarity" in the "Advanced Settings".

sounds better than what I'm using for my sieve mod

[FiftySix]

I made a version of this mod which is compatible with pipeworks!
you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/43jqao80u2cf ... gFhBa?dl=0

Cool,
I will add it to my file, but pipeworks should then be optional.

i can't seem to get pipeworks to connect to add/remove items to the automatic sieve (this modified version.) Plastic pipes correctly seem to "attach" to all faces, but nothing goes in or out. I must be missing something.

[joe7575]

I added Pipeworks support to my version at GitHub. It works as expected. Thanks to FiftySix.
