Suggestion: Machine Drop Tweak

  • Name: Machine Drop tweak


    Description:


    You have these machines you can place, and have to be removed by a special tool, the wrench. Using any other tool results in you getting the base machine block back, without any of the additional goodies. The wrench will give you the machine back fine, but does not always work, and sometimes gives you a machine block back anyway. Failed Dissembling , whether from an explosion, a drill, or a fumbled wrench (which is impossible actually use *right* due to the random chance part) results in a permanent resource loss. I am of the belief that the machines have their default minecraft drop set to just drop a machine block, and if a wrench is used, it drops the actual machine. Is there anything that prevents the drop from being the resources used to create said machine? It should drop the resources that make up the recipie, as in 3 glass, 3 coal dust, 2 wires, and a generator in the case of a solar panel, and so on. This would prevent this unavoidable loss of resources, while making it merely an incovinience.


    Alternatively, a config option to disable wrench breaking would certainly help, although not ideal (in the case that basic minecraft mechanics prevent this, as I do not think at the moment any block can drop multiple item types)

  • Due to the fact that we can create matter from energy, some resources have to disappear to somewhere or the universe will eventually be too cramped. :)
