Two new machines, and a ton of compatibility updates!

  • Added "Killer" Machine; This takes a sword and fuel and will attack anything directly above it (expandable with range upgrades). Can be given filter upgrades to limit the machine to certain mobs/animals/players
  • Added "Animal Farmer" Machine; This by default takes animal feed and fuel and will breed animals one block directly in front of it (East when placed). Can be upgraded with a shearing upgrade to allow the machine to shear (requires shears) and a milker upgrade to allow the machine to milk animals (milking will be placed into empty buckets).
  • Added 6 new upgrades for the above machines.
  • Machines can now be wrenched to rotate them (mainly for the likes for the chopper and farmer which interact with their first tile to the East)
  • Added in some help lines both within the machines and as an item description.
  • Added potato power, machines can run off potatoes (very badly and can be disabled in the configs)

The Crafty Compatible Update

Been a while since the last big update, this one is fairly large with a few fixes, a lot of compatibility and a few new things.

I'd like to take Torins for the help with some bug fixes and a small bit of refactoring.

New Things:

As always these can be disabled in the config if you so wish.

The Crafter This machine will, by using a small amount of fuel per operation, craft a set recipe using the items within it's inventory.

Wither Tools These tools will aid in using the machines in the later game. By infusing the energies of a nether star into basic resources it is possible to create a version of them that seems to have a lot more durability. Using these resources you should be able to create tools that can be used for a much longer time, but otherwise have the same properties.

Filler Upgrade When added to the miner it will fill all air and water blocks while it is mining.

Improved compatibility

I've spent some time adding compatibility for other Minecraft items and items from other mods.

Planter:

  • Will now harvest plants that require right click
  • Will harvest and plant Netherwart
  • Will harvest and plant all types of Pnumaticraft seeds
  • Will harvest and plant all types of HarvestCraft seeds
  • Will harvest and plant cactus and sugar cane
  • Will harvest natura plants, but can only plant barley for some reason.

General Compatibility:

  • Chopper will now correctly plant and harvest all types of rubber trees
  • All machines can now be wrenched with a TE compatible wrench, the machine will keep it's inventory and upgrades when you do so
  • Miner now obeys TiConTweaks in terms of what tools can harvest what blocks

Mod Changes:

  • Planter now outputs to the bottom
  • Chopper chopping range is now limited to 6 blocks around it's actual range as defined by the amount of upgrades. No more deforestation!!
  • Wither Upgrade now multiplies by 4 by default
  • Miner will emit a redstone signal when it is finished

Main bug fixes:

  • Disabling lower level machines in the config now works correctly
  • Fires around the lower generators now works correctly

I'd Like a Potato Update

This release brings quite a few bug fixes for various things including the sapling dupe bug and a stack overflow error. It also fixes a crash that allows Blood Magic lava crystals to be used as a fuel source.

The release also adds a creative RF Engine to power your machines forever. There is no recipe for this item but you can spawn it in if you are testing out the machines or in a non survival world or simply just want to cheat.

The main addition in this version is the introduction of the Planter which is a crop farming block that you will want to place under your farm. The block needs seeds and a hoe to function and can be upgraded like the other machines. The Planter will hoe the ground (using durability) and then once the crop is grown it will harvest the crop (while harvesting it the ground will become regular dirt again thus requiring to be hoed again). The length of time the machine will take to harvest depends on the level of the machine with the Wooden one taking ~4 seconds while the diamond one will only take 0.5 seconds per crop.

The key in a jar update

This release brings RF support to all of the machine as well as a simple furnace generator so you can use the RF support without having any other mods.

To make a machine accept RF though you will need to crash yourself a RF Engine and then put that item into the fuel slot of the machine you want to power.

The generator, like most machines, comes in 4 levels and all 4 levels will produce the same amount of power from the items they burn. However the lowest wooden tier will produce that at 20RF/t while the Diamond tier will produce 160RF/t.

The Wooden generator will also start fires around it while operational and may also get consumed itself. The stone one also has a small chance of starting fires but wont burn itself.

The Tree, Tree, Tree Release.

Added a new set of blocks, introducing the Chopper!

The chopper will plant and harvest most types of trees automatically. It will require a source of fuel and an axe to do so. The tree will be planted on the same level as the chopper is placed.

The chopper, like its miner brother, will only process one block without any upgrades and will take the same upgrades. It also comes in 4 different favours and uses the durability on the axe that is in the machine. However it won't use durability when harvesting leaves but the speed at which the leaves are harvested is solely based the level of the machine and not the tools.

Also made some large changes to the codebase (nothing that you would really notice in game).
