[Suggestion] Add XNet network card #136

Open Garagoth opened 6 years ago

Garagoth commented 6 years ago

Currently to use processor with crafters or more machines then 6 (well, 5, one side lost for power supply) it is required to craft and install network card and setup network.

It would be nice to have an XNet network card (that does not require ender pearls). Install it in processor and do net setup xnet. That would probably require a new rftools.control xnet channel (similar to rftools.storage one i guess) and each xnet connector (with proper xnet channel setup) would act as a network node then.

After that you might rename current network card to wireless network card... (ender pearls for wireless, XNet for wired connections).

I'd like to chime in on this one (be it that I am on 1.16.3). It would be nice to be able to use the xnet connectors as nodes. Having each (e.g.) chest connect to both an xnet connector and a control node takes up a lot of space. Not to mention the fact that nodes cannot be hidden with a facade. On top of this I think it would also require there be an opcode that allows sending Rs colour signals?
