Elepower is a new technology modpack currently in development. The mod is currently in alpha and is nowhere near complete.
This mod does not work below Minetest 5.0.0+! You have been warned.
Some features
Power and fluid transfer
Ore doubling mechanics (Pulverizer + Furnace)
Automatic farms (Planter + Harvester)
High crafting complexity for crafting lovers
A sawmill that gives 6 planks instead of 4 per log!
Nuclear Power (Both fission and fusion reactors)
Toggle your automation on and off using Mesecons
Seeds and other farming produce can be turned into power via Biofuel
Gases and (unrealistic, sorry chem nerds!) chemical reactions/processes
A mining machine to get an endless supply of ores, as long as you have power!
A bunch of materials and derived crafting components you can use in your own mods!
Machine usage help available from both craftguide and unified_inventory !
..and a lot more planned!
Depends on fluid_lib , moreores and MTG. basic_materials is highly recommended.
Source Code: https://github.com/sirrobzeroone/elepower
Available on the ContentDB: https://content.minetest.net/packages/I ... /elepower/
License: MIT
Important notes
IcyDiamond is no longer maintaining this mod or this post. See the latest replies for updates by the new maintainer/developer, sirrobzeroone! .
Machine speeds, capacities and power consumption values are NOT optimized/finalized just yet!
I am well aware that some grid setups might not work properly or may be inefficient. If your power grid stops delivering/receiving power, simply re-place the "broken" nodes. Power delivery shortcomings are mentioned in this post (help wanted!).
Elepower power transfer is different from that of technic's in that each machine has an internal storage buffer of energy that essentially works like a fluid.
Elepower machines are compatible with Pipeworks and TechPack 's tubelib for item transfer.
Please report bugs in this forum thread.

Nice! Perhaps you could add this and your other projects to ContentDB:
https://content.minetest.net/ ?
Hey, what can i say? I'm the bad guy .

Will do once 5.0.0 is released and my mods can be considered release-ready. ContentDB policy is against WIP mods.

Good job! New technological and more user friendly mods are really needed.
I hope your mod will be released soon.

Yeah, they should. In fact, the API does not explicitly check if the node in a fluid buffer is a fluid or not. There are currently no tanks or pumps so nothing other than water and the added fluids can be transferred.
Of course, melterns tanks are supported and they work just fine.

I'm actually considering splitting the fluid API into it's own library and have it replace the minetest_game bucket mod.

I've done it.
This mod now depends on fluid_lib, which can be found at viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20327
Don't worry, all of these mods will be on the ContentDB when they're ready to go!

Is this mod for MT-0.5 only or is it possible to get it working with MT-0.4.17? I am woundering about the missed "depends.txt" files and the dependencies listed in mod.conf. Is the "depends.txt" file obsolete for MT-0.5?

Yes,
is deprecated in 5.0+. The mod will work in 0.4.17, however, powered tools will not work and breaking nodes will not retain their power charge. There might also be other API changes that won't work. Adding support for lower versions is currently at your own discretion.

First, craft Acidic Compound and then right click with it on a water source node. That creates Etching Acid. Now, right click with your blank PCBs on the source node. You can currently create 10 PCBs per Acid Compound.

Do you know Mekanism mod from Minecraft ? It's a wonderful and quite complete tech mod too.
Do you plan to release your power API in a separate lib (like your fluid lib)?

I do know Mekanism. The fusion reactor progression will be based on it.
And if that's necessary, I might. It's not currently planned.

Yes, as a "depleted" uranium that needs to be enriched.

I meant, deuterium and tritium is a gas. How will that work, as a game mechanic?
