Toolbox and few ideas

Tessier · Nov 3rd 2014

Hey guys,

My few suggestions
- allow Obscurator, Crop analyzer and weed removing tool to be stored in toolbox
- remove battery requirements from crop analyzer and add 400k internal buffer
- add button to crop analyzer to toggle between 1step scan or full scan
- add advanced toolbox that can transfer power to tools inside it while standing on charge pad or by putting it inside mfe
- add redstone upgrade/ejector upgrade to crop harvester
- allow to bind special functions to one button eg. Night vision can be activated with m only, not alt+m
- allow painting of tin cables
- electric jet pack should allow for 30sec flight max or add some benefit to biogas jet pack like faster forward movement (I found higher flight limit more annoying then usefull)

I'm not sure if that's a bug or not but luminator always covers whole block when putting on cf. On any other block it looks smaller when sticking it to the side.

Thanks for the great mod!

- allow Obscurator, Crop analyzer and weed removing tool to be stored in toolbox <--OK

- remove battery requirements from crop analyzer and add 400k internal buffer <--OK

- add button to crop analyzer to toggle between 1step scan or full scan <--OK

- add advanced toolbox that can transfer power to tools inside it while standing on charge pad or by putting it inside mfe <-Maybe

- add redstone upgrade/ejector upgrade to crop harvester <- Why ? / already installed

- allow to bind special functions to one button eg. Night vision can be activated with m only, not alt+m <--maybe

- allow painting of tin cables <- NOK need to rewrite complete cabel class

About the toolbox, can we have a config (and API if not existing) to add tools of other mods?
Also a configurable toolbox size.

Same would apply to the containment box.

already in the API

Code

public interface IBoxable {
	/**
	 * Determine whether an item can be stored in a toolbox or not.
	 * 
	 * @param itemstack item to be stored
	 * @return Whether to store the item in the toolbox or not
	 */
	public abstract boolean canBeStoredInToolbox(ItemStack itemstack);
}

Does the containment box have an API too though?

SpwnX · Nov 3rd 2014

right, what about manual adding (config) and size?

Why ??

manual adding (config) maybe..i put it on my list
size .. No.. change Container Size after setup is big crash reason

GregTech has radioactive materials, for example.

Size: add a maximum acceptable in the config.

Incase another mod had a radioactive item, so that you could use the API to add it to the containment box. What SpwnX said

Thunderdark · Nov 3rd 2014

add API(interface ) for containment box + config..ok is on my list... but no Size change ( too many error sources..dynamic Gui... Item save in NBT... and lot of nullpoint crashes) BIG NO last word

How long is your list now?

Thunderdark · Nov 3rd 2014

1-2 Parsec.... +/- 1AU ..but small thinks.. float above

Seems you are far from out of ideas at the moment then

Redstone upgrade so i can turn it on/off with lever. For now I use eu-splitter cable

SpwnX · Nov 3rd 2014

Aw, I wanted something like 3 sizes, small (current) , medium (x2 small) and large (x3 small) sizes.

The redstone upgrade doesn't do that, all it does is invert the current received redstone signal a machine has.

Tessier · Nov 3rd 2014

Yeah i know, but with upgrade I can run machine all the time without applying redstone. Advanced miner will run with just upgrade and mass fab will stop when i put it in. Useful in tight spaces and for aesthetic reasons

The crop harvester *already* runs with no redstone signal.

Tessier · Nov 4th 2014

Yes it does.
I have two of them. One runs all the time to feed the recycler, the other one I run once in a while. And the only way to stop harvester no2 is to cut the power with splitter cable.
Running all the time is not a problem, running only when needed is.

Why would you want to stop it? Keep it running and feed the recycler.
