*Item transport*

[TheEt1234]

Context from discord:

Recipes that are tricky

puncher
deployer
node breaker

Textures that are horrible or out of place

maybe puncher needs to get reworked, currently its just the interractor texture
deployer
autocrafter lacks a texture completely
node breaker
automatic filter injector
item vacuum
potentially tubes, pipeworks ones look better

Also quests are missing the requirements ill add them later

(edit: by later i meant when all the recipes are completed)

pls help me with the recipes and textures

[birdlover32767]

extra idea: make a secret quest for breaking a tube you placed

THE TEXTURES

• robotic arm should be a robotic arm
• the autocrafter should at least have something like a 3x3 grid imo (yes this does mean it will be off-center) (also please fix the "consumbtion" typo it's consum_p_tion)
• the tube looks fine but it should be thinner because it looks like it holds fluids instead of items
• the tube variations could look a bit less saturated
• the crossing tube looks... weird but idk how to fix it
• one way tubes are fine except for the thickness
• item vacuums are fine but they could be improved upon
• the filter injector should be like the simple alloy furnace/batteries, a simple background with maybe an outline and glowing neon arrows that maybe get sequentially get brighter for a moment in an animation (yes fancy words i know the arrows light up)
• the puncher looks fine but it could use a seperate animated node when it punches
• • also when the puncher tries to mine emittrium without anything it just annoys you forever
• • and i think you already know about the unknown item
• the node breaker could be like the puncher but bigger and better and not able to break the core and emitters because you can do that (for some reason)
• the deployer probably should have a giant hole on one side because how else is the block going to come through
• idk about the sorter
• the item void should have at least some sort of visible matter casing

  THE RECIPES

• the robotic arm should use titanium alloy or some other weird alloy and emittrium
• autocrafter should have a retaining circuit somewhere and neutronium
• sorter should have invar on the corners
• item void should have neutronium somewhere (seriously though there should be a neutronium chunk or something)
• puncher should have tubes, a matter annihilator and matter blobs
• breaker should be multiple punchers with extra stuff
• deployer should be a filter injector (it somehow makes it place stuff dont ask me how it works, alloys, a retaining circuit, and tube(s)
• one way tubes should be a tube with aforementioned neutronium chunks

[TheEt1234]

but i kinda like having the tubes be big :( ill start a poll in discord (+counting you for small tubes and counting myself for big tubes, if nothing wins ill keep it as is because redesigning the tube textures will be a small pain)

[TheEt1234]

(also birdlover if you didn't know, this issue was made because the skyblock zero forum at discord has been made read only with the alternative being github issues)

[TheEt1234]

puncher should have tubes, a matter annihilator and matter blobs

but puncher makes the game significantly easier after you get it, there is no way it should be that cheap

[TheEt1234]

ok so i will copy your message and treat it as a checklist

problems: changing tube size would require changing pretty much any texture lol, could be done if people really really cared (so far, zander selected the "i really don't care" option)

extra idea: make a secret quest for breaking a tube you placed - :x:

THE TEXTURES

• robotic arm should be a robotic arm - :white_check_mark:

• the autocrafter should at least have something like a 3x3 grid imo (yes this does mean it will be off-center) -:x: - how would i make it not look horrible and at the same time not have to rewrite the entire autocrafter i misunderstood, this was about textures, im sorry :white_check_mark:

  • (also please fix the "consumbtion" typo it's consum_p_tion) :white_check_mark:

• the tube looks fine but it should be thinner because it looks like it holds fluids instead of items - :x:

• the tube variations could look a bit less saturated - :white_check_mark:

• the crossing tube looks... weird but idk how to fix it - :question:

• one way tubes are fine except for the thickness :x:

• item vacuums are fine but they could be improved upon :question: - how

• the filter injector should be like the simple alloy furnace/batteries, a simple background with maybe an outline and glowing neon arrows that maybe get sequentially get brighter for a moment in an animation (yes fancy words i know the arrows light up) - :white_check_mark: - but no on off state

• the puncher looks fine but it could use a seperate animated node when it punches - :x: but it has been made to use the interactor texture fully

  • also when the puncher tries to mine emittrium without anything it just annoys you forever - :white_check_mark:

  • and i think you already know about the unknown item - :white_check_mark:

• the node breaker could be like the puncher but bigger and better and not able to break the core and emitters because you can do that (for some reason) - thats only in creative (afaik someone modified it), the creative hand can do that, not your hand though, also imo puncher is better than node breaker

• the deployer probably should have a giant hole on one side because how else is the block going to come through

• idk about the sorter - :question: neither do i

• the item void should have at least some sort of visible matter casing - what do you mean?

  THE RECIPES

• the robotic arm should use titanium alloy or some other weird alloy and emittrium - :x: it uses iron, and some emittrium circuits,

• autocrafter should have a retaining circuit somewhere and neutronium - :white_check_mark:

• sorter should have invar on the corners - :white_check_mark:

• item void should have neutronium somewhere (seriously though there should be a neutronium chunk or something) - :question: why???

• puncher should have tubes, a matter annihilator and matter blobs - :x: - needs to be more expensive

• breaker should be multiple punchers with extra stuff - :x: puncher >> breaker (in usefulness)

• deployer should be a filter injector (it somehow makes it place stuff dont ask me how it works, alloys, a retaining circuit, and tube(s) - :x: what about the robotic arm

• one way tubes should be a tube with aforementioned neutronium chunks - :x: ok that makes NO sense....

[birdlover32767]

after checking the color names:

NOTE: these are my opinions

• lightgreen or palegreen is best for the low priority tubes (they are literally the same color lol)
• tomato is best for high priority tubes
• mediumseagreen or chartreuse or springgreen is best for accel tubes

btw if the puncher recipe is too easy then just add neutronium or a robotic arm or whatever just make it have sense

also why is the discord thing read-only

[TheEt1234]

im spending way too much time animating the filter injector lmao.. but i guess i will learn from it

[TheEt1234]

btw discord voted to have bigger tubes (by 1 vote), and 3 people didnt care

[TheEt1234]

ok so the new and EPIC filter injector textures are here... im really proud of them

but theres no on/off state

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f84f0648-9689-407e-8337-fafcef0981f8

is an on/off state nessesary

[TheEt1234]

@birdlover32767 i think people are going to confuse theese tubes a lot...

edit: nvm

[TheEt1234]

also should the tubes be 16x16 instead of 32x32?

[TheEt1234]

The robotic arm is like this now: and is actually a pretty good tool

[TheEt1234]

i have also changed the filter injector recipe to get 4 instead of 2 filter injectors

[TheEt1234]

oh yeah also here is the new autocrafter recipe

[TheEt1234]

new autocrafter texture

[TheEt1234]

or do i just stick to the 3x3 grid

[TheEt1234]

[TheEt1234]

Added requirements to quests

[TheEt1234]

(also drastically improved them, idk was zander doing with elseif spam...)

[TheEt1234]

Things that need to be finished

• recipes for deployer, node breaker, puncher :white_check_mark:
• quest requirements for deployer, node breaker and puncher :white_check_mark:
• testing

Textures

• deployer - :white_check_mark:
• node breaker - :white_check_mark:
• potentially puncher? - :white_check_mark: - no puncher is fine
• item vacuum - :white_check_mark:

Decisions

• 16x16 tubes or 32x32 tubes? (basically a decision between 2x bigger tube lines or how it is now) - :white_check_mark: bigger tube
• everything above

[TheEt1234]

deployer textures

[birdlover32767]

nice also your bloom god

[TheEt1234]

nice also your bloom god

does the bloom look good

[TheEt1234]

i really like it

[birdlover32767]

sorta

[birdlover32767]

also the robotic arm should be gray with some blue thingies imo

[TheEt1234]

im back - node breaker textures

[TheEt1234]

Item vacuum texture

[TheEt1234]

the new tube

[TheEt1234]

now just for the recipes..... ughh

[TheEt1234]

i think the puncher should be similar difficulty (maybe little less) compared to autocrafter

[TheEt1234]

and then node breaker and deployer would be significantly cheaper

[birdlover32767]

the tube looks weird now lol (well it's still fine)

also new alloy to suggest to zander (from my game thing that i can't release because i haven't bothered to license it): electrum (AuAg)

here is a photo of said game

[TheEt1234]

[TheEt1234]

[TheEt1234]

[TheEt1234]

are the recipes good

[TheEt1234]

here is a photo of said game

i think it looks amazing (both your game and also my new tube) -

[birdlover32767]

for the crafts: yes... probably also uh after seeing this picture it looks amazing (the tube)

[TheEt1234]

imo we should try to keep the same pixel size for every block (unless it somehow looks good like the emitter or core)

[birdlover32767]

yes otherwise it would look like a mod soup

[TheEt1234]

Everything is checked... except testing.... oh this will be fun

[TheEt1234]

ok i discovered a serious bug immiadedly (you can't dig the core with bare hands)... fun....

[TheEt1234]

ok so you can't immiadedly start with right clicking.... super super weird

[birdlover32767]

also robotic arms should probably give some sort of new resource from the core not sure what it would be

[TheEt1234]

also robotic arms should probably give some sort of new resource from the core not sure what it would be

i dont think theres any need to

[theidealist101]

could always add something later if we think there's any need for it

[theidealist101]

so how close is this to being ready?

[TheEt1234]

i just need to do testing
