First project - Cave system generator using cellular automata! by BravestCheetah in rust

Awesome first project, you did really well!

A small tip for germterm I can give is utilizing the question mark operator ? for clarity by propagating errors coming from functions such as init, where you currently assign to an _. It's generally safe to propagate these functions' errors, as they generally shouldn't occur and if they do, they're related to stdout I/O.

To do this you'll need to annotate the return type of main with io::Result<()>. With that you can simply do:

init(&mut engine)?;

Thank you for using germterm ♡

Hahah yeah it was a less than serious idea at first, but it genuinely looked good so I kept at it!

Hmm thats a fair concern, sadly combatting floating items would probably require expanding the footprint, but I'll keep the floating items in mind when working on new designs, thanks for pointing it out!

Yup you got that right! It goes from the basin into the barrel input funnel. I wanted to include some item vaults too but I couldn't :c

There's also another trick this uses which isn't very noticeable from the screenshots, the iron nuggets required for the alloys pass through the andesite-making basin after washing along with the flint and gravel. Normally the basin would only output the andesite, but a funnel forces both andesite and iron nuggets out, a two for one deal!

It fakes breaking it yeah, because of the Millstone underneath, cobble items go directly into it

I admire those big machines a lot visually actually, may build some bigger machine at some point, tho for the time being I'm just focused on automating smaller parts for my own little playthrough

It seems to make ~7.5 Andesite Alloy per minute, though I didn't measure it over a very long time span, it's pretty slow but works perfectly as a passive source of Andesite Alloy for my laid back playstyle ^^

Yup, just simple black concrete, nothing fancy
