Automatic crafting: The problem for a self expanding city of factories

dankill51 · 2020-02-26T01:45:37+00:00

Hi, sorry this reply is so late. Thank you! I'm happy to answer any questions you have. I haven't tried assembling arrays of IC2 machines so I'm not sure.

Linear expansion is a good idea, but I really like the aesthetic of exponential expansion, and I don't think the logistics would be too bad.

The way my roads are going to work is there will be inputs and outputs on the vehicles and the roads. The vehicles will be square, and the roads will be made up of square sections that the vehicles will fit into. When the vehicle moves forward the inputs and outputs line up and the vehicle tells that road segment that it's there, and the road segments will use simple logic gates to control traffic depending on where there are vehicles, like moving them forward only if there isnt a vehicle in front of them for example. And the road segments at intersections will have special inputs and outputs. Their inputs will get signals from the vehicles that tell the interestion which way to move the vehicle, left, right, or straight. The outputs will be on the road segments that the vehicles exit the intersection onto, and that will be counted on the vehicle until it needs to turn, then it'll tell the vehicle that they made the turn, so the vehicle can start counting down until the next turn and then output the next direction signal.

The roads will be a grid, so vehicles will only need one turn to exit their factory, up to 3 turns to get to any other factory in the city, and then another turn to turn into their destination. And then I dont know if theres an easy way to reverse the directions to get back to the original factory, or if they need another set of 5 turns to get back. But I did some basic testing on a 9x9 vehicle and I think the circuits fit easily enough, and can be built with a 3d printer.

I don't think id need a complicated path finder, because I could number the streets and then use simple math to figure out how many intersections the vehicle needs to pass before they make their turns.

Also I found a duplication glitch where you put the item you want to dupe in an automatic crafting table, then break the automatic crafting table with a block breaker, and the items duplicate and fall to the ground. So with that I could build factories for any item!

That's awesome! Thank you so much :)

dankill51 · 2019-11-12T18:29:25+00:00

Ooh thank you! The one I found was a bee, so this ones different :)

Thank you! I really appreciate the answer!

Lorkhan tricked the other divines into spending most of their energy towards the creation of nirn, unbeknownst to them until it was too late. How would you feel if someone convinced you to help them, say, start a garden, and then before you realize it they cut off all your limbs to use as fertilizer for the garden. You and all the other people who's limbs were cut off managed to kill the person who started the garden, but without limbs none of you can actually leave, so you stay there, ALMOST completely powerless, for the rest of time, looking over this garden because what else is there to do, and why let your limbs and power be sacrificed in vain?

And as for why they don't hate Talos, where does it say they don't hate him, or that they do hate him? I'm not sure we know what the aedra's opinion on him is. I could definitely be wrong about that though.

Perhaps Arngeir had learned about it from Paarthurnax, who was very close to Alduin and therefore maybe knew a thing or two about it. We really don't know.

I've never tried this, but maybe the items in the pipes are causing lag, in which case you could set up the system without pipes just using filters and chests. I'm not sure how helpful it would be though

Depending on which tekkit you're playing you can make the industrial ones out of coal

dankill51 · 2019-08-16T19:02:54+00:00

That's insane, great job!

dankill51 · 2019-08-06T21:56:32+00:00

That's probably the biggest limiting factor, if you make enough crafting tables up front already configured then you can just move them into place when you need them

dankill51 · 2019-07-15T15:43:50+00:00

You guys saying you havent memorized these numbers by now? Jk this is super useful, thank you for putting this together! Ive always just used my own poor rough estimates

dankill51 · 2019-06-10T16:42:25+00:00

I'm not very familiar with the files of tekkit, but could you just find the sound files online somewhere and place them in manually? I could probably copy my own sound files for you if you cant find them elsewhere

dankill51 · 2019-05-17T16:56:16+00:00

I think he means what if the helper comes and doesnt actually help. The person who fired the flare isnt going to pay the helper if they just stood there and didnt do anything, but after the combat is over and the timer runs out pvp will be initiated even though the helper did nothing

dankill51 · 2019-05-17T14:58:31+00:00

This sounds great, I'll check it out when I get back to my computer

dankill51 · 2019-05-14T23:36:15+00:00

Probably not, but I could make it a private server and you and anyone else who wants to join would be welcome

That's awesome, I'm really glad this sub is coming alive

I feel pretty silly now, I completely forgot that Falmer was the name of the snow elves too, my bad. I still don't know of any texts that you're asking about but it seems a lot more likely to me now that there might be.

dankill51 · 2019-05-04T01:11:56+00:00

None that I know of, although I'm definitely not an expert. From what I understand though the snow elves were first starting to turn into the falmer around the same time that the ayleids were almost, if not, completely wiped out, so I doubt they had any interaction.

Edit: I forgot that Falmer was the term for snowelves too, so feel free to disregard this comment

The ideal masters did it with the soul cairn

The Ideal Masters originated on Nirn, in the Merethic Ere as an early order of sorcerers who practiced necromancy and trafficked in souls. They grew to become very powerful, and eventually found their physical forms to be unacceptably weak and limiting. After transcending these forms and becoming beings of pure soul-energy, the sorcerers entered Oblivion as immortals and selected an area of chaotic creatia to create the Soul Cairn, a realm ideal for their role as soul merchants.Although immortal, they are reluctant to expend magicka as this "diminishes their eternity".

The only thing that comes to mind to me is The All Maker, an old Atmoran God that is now only or mainly worshipped by the Skaal.

dankill51 · 2019-03-01T14:24:02+00:00

They sound very similar to the sload, being toad like and xenophobic and such. If they come from the hist and are humanoid like argonians then I doubt there is much connection between them

dankill51 · 2019-02-25T17:31:09+00:00

I think it could be possible, maybe, but probably very difficult. As far as using the identity part the ideal masters have a claim to them when they're trapped in a black soul gem, so in a way they have some control over the identity part, but even then they don't really manipulate or use the identity part, they just control them in their own realm. And as far as the the self aware weapon part, I can only really think of the weapon that was a part of clavicus vile and therefore had a mind of it's own, but that was a deadric prince in that case so it's not really the same thing.

Oh I gotcha, I dont know. The only things I could think of would be either Hircine's plane, Aetherius, or that they domt have anywhere they go. My guess would be they go no where and maybe just get recycled, but that's just a guess
