Docking Station Multiblock
We discussed this on reddit already, I didn't really like it, also not as a multiblock. My quote:
Not entirely sure about the docking station. That would make charging very 'wireless', which I don't entirely like. I prefer as it is now, the fact that a Charging Station only can accommodate one Drone at a time, inducing people to create an array of charging stations, which is great to watch :P.
When creating the drones programming, add the side puzzle to the start puzzle piece called tool. In there a user can select which tool the drone will use. I think it will make the system more complex and fun and at the same time less tedious.
I think adding a second way to do things without a good reason doesn't contribute to giving it more depth (you don't want complexity, you want depth). Sorry, it is not going to happen.
If I hadn’t watched dire’s video on it at some point, I would have never known that drones can use tools and I am sure I am not the only one.
There is a wiki you know, called In-Game Wiki Mod, which is reminding you everytime you enter a world. Visit the Dig program page, and there you have your answer.
Solid Fuel
I think I'll just give the Diesel Bucket / Kerosine Bucket a fuel value, like Lava Buckets.
Dye + 8 plastic just to make different color plastic just to make different color pieces sounds boring
It is, it's a tempary recipe, as Plastic Mixers are tedious to use for large amounts of plastic. The Plastic Mixer currently is being changed to make it much better to work with. This will be in next version.
As an added bonus, get rid of those 8 emerald recipes, its just extra tediousness / unneeded block
Agreed, it has been a 'temporary' recipe for over a year...
I have spent the last 2 weeks playing with pneumaticcraft and experimenting with most of its features and implementations. It is one mod that I always wanted to really learn, but never had the opportunity to. Well, I finally got around to it and I think ive played with it enough to gain a deeper understanding of it. Based on my experiences I have the following suggestions.
Compressed Iron Tools Compressed Iron axe, pick, shovel, and hoe. Reason for this suggestion will become apparent in a later suggestion.
Docking Station Multiblock Instead of making a lot of charging stations in a row, you have a single multiblock structure. Inside the structure, you insert the charging station as a form of an upgrade to allow for 1 additional drone to charge simultaneously at the docking station.
A tool compartment in the docking station (internal chest of sorts) where you can keep the above mentioned compressed iron tools.
Drones I love the complexity of the drones, but there is a fine line between complexity and tediousness / unneeded mechanics. Instead of treating the drones tool as an “item” / “itemstack”, treat it as its accessory.
When creating the drones programming, add the side puzzle to the start puzzle piece called tool. In there a user can select which tool the drone will use. I think it will make the system more complex and fun and at the same time less tedious.
Alternatively, you can just add a tool puzzle piece with the item filter to specify which tool it needs to get. If I hadn’t watched dire’s video on it at some point, I would have never known that drones can use tools and I am sure I am not the only one.
Solid Fuel The way I envisioned it is you put CHARCOAL in the pressure chamber to make compressed charcoal? (not sure about the names lol). Then you coat the said charcoal in heavy liquid fuel. You could add another step to further refine / compress / cool it to produce the final product. This new solid fuel will be same as 4 pieces of coal and in its block for same as 32 pieces of coal!
Assembling Machine I love the assembly line implementation and I love the fact that you got rid of plants. Unfortunately, I cant say that I am loving the new color plastic crafting / mechanic. Dye + 8 plastic just to make different color plastic just to make different color pieces sounds boring. I propose an assembling Machine! It would take pressurized iron, plastic, redstone, whatever else to craft the puzzle pieces and pcb components.
As an added bonus, get rid of those 8 emerald recipes, its just extra tediousness / unneeded block (much like the bluepower screwdriver, I give up looking on that flower and just give myself the screwdriver every time) Make the drill / laser programs crafted in the assembling machine. Make it so that ti can accept plastic in liquid and solid form.
