[Suggestions] Water hose, fire sprinkler, windmill, water wheal, nest #341

Open Taiine opened 10 years ago

Some ideas that I've been poking around for a few mod authors with some hopes if some being done.

Water Hose: Like the many liquid pipe setups, however only works for water, is small, and can connect along walls and cealings. Almost think like how redpowers wires use to work. This hose could connect to the open blocks tank to refill-pull from. It could also easily be concealed with in blocks. perhaps where they can be 'inside' blocks and other water neededing objects can be attached to the block... This leads into another suggestion.

Fire Sprinkler: Small, can hang on walls or cealings, can be retracted and pop out when in use, can connect to hose or a tank directly. Turns on when it detects fire and sprays water to try and put it out. Can also have a 'always on/on with redstone' mode that works like the sprinkler to provide water for plants, like some greenhouses have overhanging water fixtures.

Windmill: I have been after a nice windmill for a long time, even if it's just for looks. 'better then wolves' and even for a time red power had something like this and it was a nice touch. Perhaps it don't have to do anything and just be able to change its size, to look nice. Maybe the blades can change material by clicking on it with a block...

Water wheel: Same hope as the windmill. Just something that add's some nice touches to builds.. it looks nice...

Nest: Made from hey, could be used to attract chickens to them to 'sit' in and lay eggs. Pretty much centerize their egg laying to one place, one chicken per nest. They could still pop up from it and wonder, but go back to sit for a bit and lay eggs. Nice for egg collecting farms. Hopper or something under the nest to collect eggs, instead of making a whole pen full of them.

Windmill and water wheel: Check out the mod ResonantInduction, it's a UniversalElectricity mod and those look really nice ;)

I quite like the nest idea. Feels like a solid candidate for an OpenBlock.

Fire sprinklers have been suggested before, but I didn't want the tank to be visible. The water hose idea seems OK, but I'd want it coverable, and there are many other ways to transfer liquids already (i.e. fluiducts from TE).

My issue with the ResonantInduction mod is it needs three core files, a mod I don't use, and add's in more stuff that I don't want nor need. Plus UE conflicts with some mods I already use that... does nearly the same thing.

I just want pretty windmills/waterwheels :(

For the nest, I think this is exactly what you're searching for: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/19366-chicken-nests-and-incubators-and-other-chicken-stuffs/
