Feature Request - Refined Storage Channels (Fluid, Items) #237

Open cryptiklemur opened 6 years ago

cryptiklemur commented 6 years ago

Would be amazing if we could get some RS support in here. Their lack of facades is rather annoying, and running two sets of cables to do simple stuff is super lame.

Love the mod!

Probably more suitable for either Refined Storage to add themself, or for an add-on like YNot.

cryptiklemur commented 6 years ago

Why make it different than things like rftools?

josephcsible commented 6 years ago

It isn't different. The RFTools Storage Scanner channel type is implemented in RFTools, not in XNet.

Doesn't seem like he's interesting in doing any integration.

josephcsible commented 6 years ago

Wow, that was harsh. Perhaps @asiekierka would be opening to adding it to YNot, though.

I'd have to evaluate how refined the Refined Storage API is first.

At a first glance, it might be doable - but I fail to see the point as to why. Does Refined Storage not have cabling?

cryptiklemur commented 6 years ago

It does have cables, but no built-in facades. You can use any of the mod that implements the MCMultiPart API. They work, but the xnet facades are far more user-friendly. Would also be a lot cleaner to have one cable system running around machines, instead of having to do xnet for power, and then RS cables for import/export into storage. RS also can't do gases from stuff like mekanism.

The big hold up from just using xnet for everything, is the crafters from RS. They have to be connected to the controller via an RS cable. That, and then all the machines would need to import into a chest that has a RS importer on it

Would you like me to make an issue on YNot @asiekierka ?
