Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
I would do this with the wood a bit other. If you burn wood it produce CO2(like in real too) but trees can used for reducing co2. Until the tree reaches a given age the CO2 which it reduce to oxygen increases, but after this age, it decreases age for age (every day?) in a exponential curve.Festus1965 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 22:57And so as the sources are limited (in real world, as special here in minetest with mtg, basic and techage),
I just open short https://www.volker-quaschning.de/datser ... ndex_e.php and have a look:
- Direct CO2 emissions from various fuels in relation to the primary energy content
Fuel : Emissions in g CO2/kWhPE
* wood : neutral (as/if replanted)
* coal : various 338 until 407
* gasoline : 263
* fuel oil : 266
* diesel : 266
* kerosine : 264
* gas : from 201 - 239
and fix to the fuel we have not so much (oil from leaves might be wood ?)
The best option i think would be, if every plant reduce oxygen and at trees not the trees but the leaves.

Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
If all CO2 sources are to be taken into account, this becomes very complex and computationally intensive.
The low hanging fruits are:
- Count all coal and oil products burned in techage furnaces and generators according to their energy content
- Count coal burned in the default furnaces (furnace code needs to be patched)
If wood is used in larger quantities as an energy source, one can assume that there is also an automated wood farm.
This is CO2 neutral.
But there is no defined end in the game, so you could say: CO2 consumption up to point X.
But when you define that goal, doesn't that lead to a completely different game?
Away from leisurely exploring, crafting, automating, building, up to a speedrun game?

Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
sure not speedrun,
but maybe a bit more thinking how to avoid - or what is the minimum of nodes I have to build to get as fast to CO2 free game ?
must not end the world, or end the players time - for the beginning would be just enough to be able to see own CO2 footprint
to much sources :
that why I pointes only to the main used ! items to burn from wood, maybe oil from leaves, charcoal, coal and oil with its products - to keep in mind, that there might be more in the future is just for the coding, to keep it prepared for easy enlargment
wood:
if counting a grown tree (that trunks) would be then interesting, if I store them (chest ? or better in old coalmine) to capture the CO2 inside, or use for a build - mean only count +CO2 if burned, count only -Co2 if grown (stand or chopped) and existing trunks!
with my solar at home, I even had another idea about a mod that offer exact ... parts of modern solar systems:
* OnGrid, OffGrid, Hybrid Inverter (with one KW KU first)
* standard Solarcells
* (extra) Batteries for OffGrid, Hybrid
* and a monitoring at the Inverter about: Solar in, Battery Capacity, Grid in, Out (to Grid or island)
nothing must, ... just ideas ... as I am working on that subject this days

Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
Just wondering, how much of a performance impact does this mod have on the game?
Hello! I'm just some random person with an ancient 7 year old potato that is my laptop :)

Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
The performance impact is depending on the amount of players and the size of the machines built.
And it is difficult to measure.
I am running a small dual core i3-4170 server which can handle up to 15 players who use techage excessively.
Techage machines are only running, when a player is around (map block loaded), but techage comes with force load blocks to increase the number of loaded map blocks per player.
The default value of force load blocks per player is 20. This value can be configured to reduce the CPU load. On my server this is 24.
Another configurable limit to reduce the CPU load is techage_command_limit (Max. number of commands sent per minute).
All machines communicate with each other via commands. This limit allows to control machine size/speed, especially when nodes are moved/exchanged via controllers. On my server I use the default value.
However, I am not aware of any case where a player has complained about this limit.
What can be said in conclusion:
- Techage is very performance optimized and felt much better than other technology mods

Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
I can guaranty you by data from my own server,
compare to pipeworks / technic it IS very LOW.
Last extract after a view days, up to 45 player techage in average just used 2.2% of all Minetest game and mods related CPU time.
Extract from 04.03.2023 :
* the leading one is at me player.api with is basic in game : 30.5 %
* followed by an chosen mod unified-inventory taking : 19.8 %
* and followed by default (part of mtg) with 6.6 %
* mod postool then takes 5 %, but allow optimal map block using builds
* mod mobs_fish has 3.8 % what depends on the spawn is build near and over water
* areas 3.6 %
* 3d_armor : 2.7 %
* xp_redo : 2.4 %
* techage : 2.2 %
mean teachage is is absolute NOT your concern in CPU time and lag !
Compare to former using pipeworks and technic on my server I lost more than 50% of lag compare to techage now.
Or pipeworks and technic was at my server always number 1 and 2 in CPU using, far before player_api - that can be used as reference.
in this Thread I collected some existing most used mod that you should avoid, if lag is a concern as of much player or low hardware speed !

Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
The engine Profiler cannot record nodetimers and is therefore not very accurate. The actual load is well above 2.2%.

[Mod] Tech Age [techage] - lag impact

I don't mind if another profiler might 'see' more work and point out techage has 5%.
As long I can have over 40 player with still lag just at 0.5 s during most technic (+pipeworks) server has 0.5 s at already 10 player, I am still fine with techage.
Just visit some server with technic and techage, do /status and you understand fast what I mean. That is so clear, that you don't even to look /status or any profiler anyway.
One thing also is clear about techage : the player need some more IQ and patience than normal.
As user you need to read the board, to get it straight working and be able to visualize the plans.
Most player are used to technic and struggle with piller and melting pot tower, and seams to be too much work for them = techage server have less gamer. (My result after a good time looking it)

Frage.
Die Windkraft Anlagen zur Strom Gewinnung haben einen Mindestabstand?
Kann es sein pro Mapblock 1 Anlage? In der Anleitung habe ich leider nix gefunden dazu.
Auch nicht wie viele Node mindest Abstand.

Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
I run a server myself with techage and yes, it is much faster than technic+pipeworks. Jitprofiler itself is just a tool that can start and stop the LuaJIT profiling engine and write these samples to a file. I can't upload profiles because I don't have access to my PC at the moment. (vacation)Interesting that you point out another mod, but are not posting any of your results with this profiler.
I don't mind if another profiler might 'see' more work and point out techage has 5%.

You need to list also minimum 2 other basic, most in mtg included mods as a reference, as if you have another 'hard' mod like adv-trains or a animal mod running, the 'share' left of all CPU time in % of other mods is getting lower !
player.api and default (with hard lava cooling ABM) are near basic everywhere,Festus1965 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 00:42Profiler extract from 04.03.2023 :
* player.api : 30.5 %
* unified-inventory : 19.8 %
* default (part of mtg) : 6.6 %
* areas : 3.6 %
* 3d_armor : 2.7 %
* techage : 2.2 %
or other like ui, armor and areas are also consuming just enough CPU time and give the 'right' meter to compare.
Or without ui = loosing near 20% of all 'work' to do, techage would automatic have a higher part in the rankling without ui = guessing 2.75% al player.api then might be near 38%. Never forget to mention comparable values.
On my servers case the difference between pipeworks+technic against techage is simple, as most other higher mods are the same: pipeworks+technic to together already ...
easy to see with an older profiler, where ui and default have similar factor 3 difference, and might have done the same work as now BUT as of CPU cooking mods technic + pipeworks their part is much smaller. So beside technic+pipeworks on that old system techage would just be a share of 0.44 % !!!technic: : 42.8
pipeworks: : 22.0
wielded_light: : 4.8
mobs_monster: : 4.5
poshud: : 4.0
unified_inventory: : 3.9
default: : 1.4
areas: : 1.0
And THAT makes clear how low the impact of techage is.

Re: [Mod] Tech Age [techage]
Pardon my noobiesness. But may I ask, how does one acquire the first Iron bar needed to make the gravel seive?
Also, I tried to install with mobs redo and mobs api and ethereal, yet I have seen zero mobs and but 2 biomes really which were a ton of giant mushrooms and a ton of banana trees. Unlimited food really and no mobs to threaten me. Does one install over MineClone 2 or with mobs redo if I want the occasional monster to attack me like nighttime in Mc? Also, how would anyone compare this to NodeCore ?

In my knowledge, mobs spawn(not caused by ta) really that rare. In Mineclone that is a bit other, there they spawn much more often then in mobs_redo-mods

Hello Joe!
That would be nice. I like your mod/game so much that i installed it on our server. My coadmin was a little bit against it fearing to much load/lag and so. But i played on your server and there is near to nothing with lag.
We changed some recipes from the metals as we also have some more, but that was easy. But i did not figured out how to do that with the buckets.
