[Mod] Holostorage: Mass Storage in Minetest [holostorage]

[IcyDiamond]

This mod adds devices into the game that allow you to build a mass storage system with ease. It is an attempt at re-creating the Minecraft mod Refined Storage in Minetest. I can't promise that this will ever be completed, but we'll see. Help is always welcome.

Currently, it is geared towards and developed in Minetest 0.5.0+, backports are not planned right now.

Caution! This mod is in development and it has bugs and is potentially inefficient. Do not use it in a world you care about just yet, as you might lose items or it might crash your game!

Awesome! Make sure you're keeping it up to date though, because there are bound to be some critical bug fixes.

Mods like these take center stage in minecraft modding, allowing powerful storage management. Minetest needs those analogue mods as well.

It is great to see someone else creating a storage mod, but it takes a long time to put items into/take items from the storage which is annoying, so I will probably stick on my Storage Interface but I watch the progression of this mod.

Maybe you can work together with microexpansion.

What do you mean by that? It's pretty much instant to me

My computer is probably too bad or I shouldn't put 6 64k into the disc drive.

Hmm, I guess so. They're not all that efficient at the moment. I just use the 1Ks. But you could also just attach external storage buses to chests.

I have now rewritten the way the items in disks are stored. It might be faster or it might fail entirely. I don't know yet, it just needs testing :P

can several drive casings(the blocks that hold the drives) be connected to get more storage, or is 6 64k the max per machine?
also great mod its nice to have choices when it comes to mass storage

Yes, you can use multiple disk drives.

Awesome mod except the export bus does not add items to an inventory.

Tested with clean minetest/minetest game pulls at version 5.0.0

The export bus removes items from the main storage as per whatever is set in the filter but does not then add them to an inventory ie chest

in the attached pic the export bus is on the left behind the chest
The export bus has dirt in the filter and when the dirt is added to the chest on the right it is sucked in by the import bus and briefly sits in the main inventory and then disappears however never gets to the ches in front of the export bus.
