Here's a pack I've just completed. There are a few things about setting it up, then I'll jump into actually playing with it.
To download, you have two options: Tarballs, or git.
For the git method, cd into wherever you want to put the mods (either a game/*/mods directory or the global mods directory). Then,
Code: Select all
git clone https://git.gitorious.org/marktraceur-minetest-mods/industry_pack.git
cd industry_pack
git submodule update --init
Code: Select all
git clone https://git.gitorious.org/marktraceur-minetest-mods/farming.git
Code: Select all
git pull origin master
git submodule update --init
Changelog
* 0.1.0 - Finished modpack, including transactors and factories and a buttload of useful craftitems.
* 0.1.1 - Bugfix, factories would only look for one of each thing in the recipe (major bug, please update)
* 0.1.2 - Bugfix, don't allow mining the factory if there are items in the inventory
* 0.1.3 - Bugfix, don't crash if a rubber collector is the target of the transactor.
gears
Gears just adds a craftitem to the game. It can be crafted like so:

Rubber is a fork from PilzAdam's farming_plus mod that only adds rubber trees. You'll find them in nature sometimes (very rarely). Use a bucket and left-click to gather rubber. You'll need it for the conveyor mod. The rubber tree's leaves will also decay into rubber tree saplings.
rubber_collector
This is a convenience thing that makes it easier to harvest rubber. You put the node somewhere, then you click on it with a bucket of rubber to deposit. The collector has a capacity that's identical to the chest, except that you can't access the inventory. Use a transactor (below) to get rubber_base out of the collector and into a chest or furnace.
Craft like so:
Code: Select all
wood | wood | wood
------------------------------------------
rubber sheet | | rubber sheet

rubber sheet | rubber sheet | rubber sheet
Rubber sheets are the intermediary step between rubber buckets and conveyor belts (below). Craft a bucket of rubber to get rubber base, then cook it in a furnace to get a rubber sheet.
conveyor
Conveyor belts, a new craftitem. Craft like so:
Code: Select all

If a chest is the source, everything is fair game. It will start at the bottom right and, until it finds something, will move left and up. The first thing it finds that is wanted by the destination node will be moved.
If a furnace is the source, only the destination inventory (i.e., the result of a smelting action) is moveable. Nothing in the fuel or src slots will be moved.
If a chest is the destination, then anything it can grab from the source will be moved.
If a furnace is the destination, fuel-type things (even if they're otherwise smeltable) will be moved into the fuel slot, and cookable things will be moved into the source slot. If neither cookable nor fuel-type items are available, no move occurs.

Hopefully this is useful to someone, I spent enough time on it :)
Oh, and please, if you're good with textures, consider contributing CC-BY-SA textures for these things. I'm not an artist, clearly.
Thanks!
