no, I mean why use more generators to upgrade the generator?
wn just replace the gold block with another diamond, then u can have the same amount as if u use more generators, and it actually makes sense.

There had been a typo in mover.lua so that pine trees could not be dug in whole.
Also added aspen tree to mover code and fixed radius for acacia trees so that they
were dug in whole, too.

https://github.com/ac-minetest/basic_machines/pull/19



What is this part of mover code good for ? (line 794 ff):

Code: Select all

action_off = function (pos, node,ttl) -- this toggles reverse option of mover
			if type(ttl)~="number" then ttl = 1 end
			local meta = minetest.get_meta(pos);
			local mreverse = meta:get_int("reverse");
			if mreverse == 1 then mreverse = 0 elseif mreverse==0 then mreverse = 1 end
			meta:set_int("reverse",mreverse);			
end
I turned it off when it is in dig mode, because after each tree we had to manually switch the reverse
field in the mover from 1 to 0 to be able to dig the next tree.

I also found that movers set the reverse-option by themselves,
when activated via mesecons (eg. with blinky-plants).

Thanks for tree fixes
- there are 2 types of signals: on and off.
- on signal activates movers and make them do 1 step
- off signal is used to reverse the direction of 'move'
- this is useful to make complicated mechanisms easily. you just need to be careful to not use off signal unintentionally.
- mesecons seems to activate stuff all the time ( even when not really needed), adding unnecessary lag

Many of my players complained about loosing stuff when digging basic_machines
but forgot to empty its inventories first. I added security check for all machines to code,
so this will not happen again.

I opened a pull request on github if you are interested.

Exist 2 annoying bugs

1) Place coal block (an example) or ethanol bottle in the battery, without upgrade - > fuel will not spend

2) Free sapling with leaves, dig mod and mover. Just dig with mover and distributor quickly and u will get infinity saplings without spending of leaves

I hope it ill be fixed as soon as possible

I am trying to enable the mod but it just won't let me use it. I go into the configure menu and select it and then click enable and it turns green. I click the save button and then I try to play the game and there is nothing there. I went back into the configure menu and it shows that it isn't enabled. I have tried to enable it on a basic minetest game without any other mods enabled and the same thing happens every time. I have version 5.0.0 of minetest if that is what is causing the problem.

a lill Question

by SteveGer » Post

Hey rnd

First, Many many Thanks for this Mod.

And now i have a Question. Is it possible to add a Field to the Mover what declares how many he moves? I know, if i add a Number to the previously set Filter, then the Mover will only move this Amount of filtered Item. But i want, that the Mover will move anything what he can get at the source, but only a declared Amount of Items.

So my Issue is, to add a Field to the Movers "MODE OF OPERATION" Tab, where the User can set a Number, what declares the Amount to move, independently of the Filter, if set or not.

Tell me please what do you think about it.

Thanks for your great Work
Steve

Mover in 'inventory' mode will automatically detect first itemstack it finds and move that. if you want to move say 5 diamonds just write in filter "default:diamond 5", to see names insert item in box next to filter.

For what you want to do: use detector in mode 4 ( you can read this in detector help), so that detector tells keypad what item it found. Then you can add whatever you want to that name using keypads and lastly apply result to mover filter ( target mover with keypad). Its possible you just need to read help in details.

That does not seem to work. Help of detector says "4 = if target keypad set its text to detected object name"

player mode works.
node mode works.
object mode works.

inventory mode works not.
Try to detect an empty slot of src furnace inventory for example. inventory mode in detector.
Even an unempty slot is not detected and send to keypad's infotext.

now detector works if you simply leave empty name in inventory mode:

update:

detector: when in inventory mode and empty 'node name' it will detect first item it finds (and optionally report its name when mode 4). In case inventory nonempty it will also trigger.

Basic_machines is a lightweight minetest automation mod/logic/electronics building. It has little impact on server performance. Relies only on default game.
Is it possible to make machines stay active when I'm not near or even offline on a miltiplayer server?
If the server has Ocular Networks installed you can use the Universe Tether, it will force the mapblock it's in to stay loaded.
