[Mod] SAFR's Simple Machines [0.1] [safr_simple_machines]

[ak399g]

I've seen a few 'craft component' type mods around, but most use steel as the primary ore of choice and aren't based off of the classic Renaissance simple machines. This mod adds a few craft items that are all copper-based. So far there are the 6 primary simple machines (Lever, Wheel and Axle, Inclined Plane, Pulley, Wedge, and Screw) and three secondary machines (Gear, Nut, and Belt).



Craft Recipes:

S = Screw
W = Wheel and Axle
p = Pulley
n = Nut
g = Gear
b = Belt

c = Copper Ingot
s = Stick
P = Paper
r = String
X = nothing

I don't know if recipes conflict with other mods (though I hope they don't).

I'm okay with bundling in other components, but this mod isn't meant to provide complex machines, only the parts to make them.

The github is a repo of all mods I've worked on: once you extract the whole .zip file, just copy the "safr_simple_machines" out of it.

There was a posting some time ago about gears and building machines basically out of wood (wheels, rotating tree thrunks). I'm afraid it didn't went far. Something like that might be nice to have.

Also there was some talk recently about adding simple machines for grinding and similar tasks. Perhaps your craftitems could be helpful there.

You asked for conflicts.
Well, there is another mod which adds gears, it is called “Factory”.
I don’t know how compatible/incompatible it is.

[ak399g]

this one? viewtopic.php?t=9277&p=141271
It relies on three levels of gears (steel, gold, diamond). I can add compatibility by including an optional steel gear craft -- something like

Spoiler

Code: Select all

local use_factory = minetest.get_modpath("factory")

at the beginning, and

Code: Select all

if use_factory then
	minetest.register_craft({
		output = "[[gear itemstring]]",
		recipe = {
			{"", "default:steel_ingot", ""},
			{"default:steel_ingot", "safr_simple_machines:gear", "default:steel_ingot"},
			{"", "default:steel_ingot", ""},
		},
	})
end

in the craft section

should work, yes?

Adding optional override crafts for all items, depending on whether or not "safr_simple_machines" and "factory" are enabled together might work, but what if someone only wants the gear part and not, say a conveyor belt craft? Which mod should be responsible for adding compatibility?

fixed. also, both wheels must be replaced, so added that in.

You kept it basic by not adding tons of components, and I love how you made the different components very distinct from one and other. You can easily distinguish them by texture and intended function.

I like the textures. The style is very consistent and it is easy to see what the function of the tool is.

This is a great (example) for showing how a "components" mod should look like.

Hopefully it will give modders insentive to make mods that allow the making of cool machines. Only then will this mod be depended upon, and thus used.

Awhile back, I compiled a list of components. It grew quite large, so I dispaired of ever implementing it. Still, if it could be of any use to you, here is the component list.

I also made a list of "crafting nodes" to produce them and other craftitems, but I don't know how much use that would be to you.

This may be just what I was looking for. Thank you!

What is "Renaissance simple machines" ? Renaissance member is not found.

What is "Renaissance simple machines" ? Renaissance member is not found.

Archimedes only defined the lever, pulley, and screw as "simple machines". By the Renaissance (14th - 17th century), the list had been expanded to include wedge, inclined plane, wheel and axle. They had also begun to classify compound machines made out of simple components.

[Wuzzy]

I found a bug: The belt is called “Gear”.

Apart from that, the mod seems almost release-ready.
I just would add the usual metadata files (screenshot.png, mod.conf, description.txt. See lua_api.txt for more info) and call it version 1.0.

Intllib support would be nice.

It would be nice if the mod had its own repository; it is pretty annoying to download and work with it right now.

[texmex]

Man I wish a mod with some basic mechanical machinery would be built off of this.
