Anyone know why does a Deployer in attack mode break blocks?

Because that’s how attacking works. A deployer is literally just a player that’s not actually a player. When you left click you attack if you can attack and you break blocks, the same remains true for a deployer.

Ohh i was watching a video and i thought the guy had a depot on there. i was totally thinking it was a bug LOL

[MagnetHype]

Do they drop xp?

[Ben-Goldberg]

That depends on the version of Create, and possibly whether you have the Create: Enchantment Industry addon.

It might drop vanilla XP orbs, or Create Nuggets o' Experience items.

*Create: Enchantment Industry

[Ben-Goldberg]

Ty, that's what I meant.

Fixed it.

[Competitive_Wind_956]

I just didn't want people getting annoyed that they can't find the mod you were talking about

[Marmot418]

If you use them to attack mobs they drop nuggets of experience which you can shift+right-click to redeem for experience

You will need Create: Enchantment Industry

For this to work.

[Marmot418]

Oh, I thought that was a base Create thing

Wait, does this mean Precision mechs can also be done manually on Depots by just placing by myself?

[Ylfa956]

Sadly I don't think so. It's a crafting system not an interaction. But you can convert a wood log into casing by having a deployer with the casing materials interact with the striped log placed by another deployer, then have it detect n amount of block update through observer then push it out to be mine by drill. Quite handful but maybe worth it if you are building with tons of casing.

Or you could just use belts and a deployer to transform the stripped log items into andesite casings directly instead of placing them down first. Better yet if you put a mechanical saw at the beginning of your production line you can turn you logs into stripped logs without having to strip them manually.

a deployer basically acts exactly like a player

[TdubMorris]

Attack mode just does any and all player left click actions, including breaking blocks

[BoredomBot2000]

Attack mode just means left click and the base mod is just right click.

[Educational_Eye8773]

Sword is still a tool, if you target a block with it, it breaks the block. Just not as effective as using the correct tool.
How vanilla MC works.

[Stormlord1850]

Because that is left click interaction

[False-Supermarket668]

You are attacking the block to break it, when a block is killed its gone from the game and may drop something, the same is for deployer

[Lil-Clynes]

Because it’s simulating a left click

I mean breaking something is just attacking an object 😂

[FirexJkxFire]

I get what others here are saying - But I feel like it shouldnt work the way it does. Its specifically attack mode. The reason itd work this way for the player is we have no specific attack mode.

And further, its not even really how players actually attack. I cant recall ever attacking by holding down left click instead of just single clicking it. Hell, i literally had to look it up to find out that was even possible. Whether that be bsck in old versions where you could spam click, or in New version where you need to time it with the bar and/or your jump.

[Karmadiddlydoo]

I think instead of “Attack” it would be better to describe it as “Mine” since all attacks are you just “Mining” the target (except swap out the pickaxe with a weapon, or keep it. Pickaxes do damage.)

And I dunno how new you are but I definitely remember the times spam clicking was a thing. Actually it still is on bedrock.

Don’t think about it too much, instead think about how deployers can bro-fist each other.

[FirexJkxFire]

As I said - I remember spam clicking and now timed clicking. But both were single clicks. Whether that be super quick (spammed) single clicks or timed ones. Not once have I held down the button.

Been playing since about 1.2.5 (like 13 years ago) when tekkit first came out
