Besides a miner can mine fudging everything, im surprised we can't configure it ingame.
FenixR gave me that good Idea
Why not the possibility to tell the Miner what it has to Mine?
I'll paint a GUI for that: (FenixR told me that i have to add Upgradeslots for the Miner or he would sue me)
This is the place for a Statustext, which shows what the Miner actually doing (i.e. mining Stone or mining Ironore)
:Intergrated Plating: :Intergrated Plating: :Intergrated Plating: :Intergrated Plating: :Intergrated Plating: :Intergrated Plating:
You see on the Right side 12 Slots for Stuff that should be mined, for example:
put Diamonds in then only Diamondore
Copperingot/Block/ore = Copperore
Redstonedust = Redstoneore
Lavacell/bucket/source = Lavapumping
if you leave all 12 Slots empty then it will use the Defaultconfiguration (in the IC²-Config)
You can also invert that principe by using the Button :Teleporter: for excluding the Materials of the List instead of including.
This way you can pump Lava without changing the Config (Serverside nearby impossible)
And as additional Tweak, make that Pump next to Geogen work with Lava, like Pump next to Compressor with Water.
The Upgradeslots:
These Slots are for new Minerupgrades, which are:
Overclocker for faster mining
Batterie for more Energystorage
Transformer for transforming higher EU (nothing really new)
Additional OD/OV-Scanner for increased Range (max four of them because they are not stackable) OD Scanner makes +1 Range, OV-Scanner +2. These Scanners would drain additional EU.
And again a good Idea i got from our certified Asshole(TM).
Our Nerfkiller said that the Miner should be aimed horizontal, let's see what Alblaka thinks about that.
