11 years ago CLOSED DUE TO OUTDATED INFO ALSO TOO BROAD IN SCOPE, DESIGN DOCS SHOULD HAVE A MORE NARROW FOCUS
Check the article "design philosophies and overview" as it contains what this article tried to articulate
-flavor text under item/block names -starter book filled with info for in game reference -design notes go straight to wiki -eventually a system to replace faggot ass redstone mechanics -no dumb shit mobs mode (does not spawn vanilla mobs, replaces with bandit, brigand, raider, rebel, combatant[armed hostile human looking mobs]) -no stupid fucking wrench mechanics....all blocks retrieved when broke by hand or pick (admins will love this!)
-compatability modes -NOTE: none of the ores or things we add should be able to be processed by the vanilla furnace or other mods stuff, they can only be processed by our machines and methods -ore compatability -dust compatability -etc
-generation modes -true mode (no vanilla shit in worldgen, no other mod shit in worldgen) -compliance mode (doesnt cancel anything out) -ore spawns in sparse but HUGE pockets, on the scale of pocket per X chunks depending on actual rarity
-difficulty modes -un[employed] mode (makes everything use X% more energy;can also be inverted to make things easier) -no life mode (machines randomly break and disapeer, not all ore yields stuff, not all ore yields bonus ore) -disable sand to ore processing -realistic nature mode (takes months to grow food/lesser crops, takes years to grow trees) -UHG coal mode (small chance to get UHG coal from anthracite, cannot make coke with anything but UHG coal) -derp mode (use a Y shaped stick to find pockets of ore) -herp mode (unlimited volume processing at max speed, no electric loss penalties, instant workshop item completion) -disable cobble gen from lava/water interaction
-ore detection -soil testing kit -metal detector -Y shaped stick for retard mode -ground penetrating radar
-smp modes -no placing scanning block mode (only admins can place blocks that scan a huge radius) -indestructable power gen block mode -run area checks on startup (blocks that run area checks will do so when possible after next restart, resets to false afterward) <-this is to catch cheating punks in their tracks, could never be used but still be a significant deterent to cheese
-add recipe to [machine shop, etc] -lets players add their own recipes to machine shops, specify output ID and input ID's and numbers, as well as machines and energy needed
-flans integration (workshops can make engines, guns, etc; removes flans workbenches) -coros integration (monsters break machines)
-kaolinite in casting -tungsten carbides -titanium alloys -stainless steel (10% chrome, 10% manganese or nickel) -steam + methane + nickel catalyst = hydrogen -bodies of water that spawn above water level -barrel (42 gallons) -hydrocyclone -wheat non irrigated 50 bushels per acre (irrigated 100), 4046 meters2 per acre one bushel is 60 pounds of whole wheat or 90 one pound loaves of whole wheat bread so one unit of wheat .75 pounds of wheat -right clicking on a machine with an internal tank with a barrel in hand will fill the machines tank with fluid in said barrel -smokestack block that must be exposed to sky and at a certain level to work; also surrounded by certain bricks; could later be a part of pollution system
