upcoming addon making Stave smarter dealing with redstone

[gyx]

Redstone is hard to wire,isn't it
But,this doesn't mean we need better redstone.actually we need Stave to have a better brain to the wiring operate.
with thousands of machine been built,with hundreds of hour spending on adjust wires,and, a little mod,Out Stave finally came to the idea that the redstonewire's pointing can be manually controlled!

cheers!
mod coming soon,and many thanks to guys help me developing it.

Wait, is this a mod you made? If so, does it require the BTW tech tree to make it? If not, I'd hurry up and delete this before the banhammer swoops down from the heavens.

If its not a BTW addon you aren't allowed to promote it here.

yes,actually there is an baseblock under the wire,and I'm looking for some way to make it controlled by turntable etc.

[Donzaffi]

Better writing it in the OP ;)
when you finished the mod I like to give it a try

That's easy. Just implement FCIBlock.

Looks pretty cool and for a lot smaller circuits as well. I'll be sure to check it out.

[FlowerChild]

Yeah, it looks interesting, but I'd exercise a bit of caution with regards to enthusiasm. I suspect he probably used tile entities to make this possible, in which case, performance may be an issue.

[MoRmEnGiL]

Don't you just hate it that what you can do with minecraft, while almost limitless in potential, is often limited due to performance problems? :/

I mean my storage area is starting to lag due to the sheer number of chests. I hate this :P

This addon looks interesting, and kinda makes sense if you think that redstone dust is well, dust :P

If I didn't have a policy against using addons in my main world (or had time for other worlds) I would certaintly give it a spin..

[FlowerChild]

I want to ask for a bit of clarification on this project before we proceed:

Is this an actual add-on mod, or is it an independent mod that will have some BTW tie-in functionality?

If the latter, and that's what it really looks like, then discussion of it is not allowed on these forums.

Absolutely not. That's game development man. Balancing what you want in a game vs what computers are capable of is an integral part of game design, and is where the real skill comes in.

[MoRmEnGiL]

Once again, I was talking from a player perspective ;]

You are right of course, in that in game development the limits will always be there, and it takes skill to manage them.

But when I as I player am limited in what I can do because of performance issues, it feels bad.

E.g., I could make an overly complex machine with lots of clocks and pistons firing constantly, but realistically I cannot, I have to make most of my farms passive (i.e. triggered) rather than active, for performance reasons.

This limits what I can do a lot, and this is what I hate.

It's a addon,and there is no tile Entity.actually,all is done by a new block called PCB,which,when placed under the redstonewire,will reshape it's pointing according to the PCB's metadata.
So, this mod worn't lag the game too much,or maybe boost a little bit since redstonewire pointing is not calculated on PCB.

PCB is create when Rendering potash on stone and...something I'm not sure.maybe something redstone is scare of, so they won't touch the rest part,Anyway,we well see it in the release

the PCB it self could be an Aesthetic block with proper texture I think

as you can see, the redstonewire runs on the direction the PCB block is pointing to

Finally, I decide to adopt etching technique to create PCB. you'll need fermentedSpiderEye as acid, potash as protection, and stone as base material in an stoked Stewing Pot.

I still need some testing and it should be ok in a few days,if noting goes wrong.

Sounds/looks really cool. Well done gyx, impressive and original solution!

[FlowerChild]

Yup, that is a rather novel solution to the problem, and one that I didn't even anticipate. Nice job man :)

[TheAnarchitect]

I'd like to point out that this will also make drawing things on the floor interesting, both simply in cut channels and in redstone. I think I'd probably spend more time making interesting patterns than actually simplifying my redstone. Which I'm OK with.
