Create Components that can do block breaks / block places. #28

Open rourke750 opened 9 years ago

Possible feature is having certain factories that have pipes that go to other blocks and break either a block or row of blocks in front of it.

A major issue here is that block changes trigger chunk loading, so these would either be chunk loaders themselves or require chunk loaders in one form or another.

A fix could be caching the breaks, but that will have interesting intrachunk edge cases.

We could make it so the chunk had to be loaded and implement chunk loaders as well. On Mar 28, 2015 4:48 PM, "gmlaxfanatic" notifications@github.com wrote:

Yeah, but I think encouraging chunk loading is the opposite direction we want to head performance wise. A core role of RealisticBiome is to remove the need for chunk loading.

Also, we already have chunk loaders in game, basically just as players/bots.
