Also should i rewrite the async_controller mod to use the libox library as well, probably a good idea to have all that sandboxing and environment code in one place
you can already yield with luacs just a little complicated

how?
Using interrupts and saving state with context in mem.
Sounds like this node squashes various existing nodes into one. Making it even less interesting to actually build a system in-world. Correct me if I missunderstood :D

that's way more inconvenient than yielding but fair i guess it could count

yes it very much does that (especially with the robot, but that can be disabled if this server doesn't desire that, for the laptop, it's just a touchscreen and a luacontroller combined) but why would it be less interesting (robot has certain disadvantages compared to pipeworks and digibuilder, like digging actually adds delay, and the laptop... well i don't think it makes it that much less interesting, just has touchscreen and a fancy luacontroller glued togheter)
There is a good reason why for example jumpdrives don't also include a luacontroller, touchscreen, beacons and travelnets: it encourages players to come up with their own designs using the other existing nodes.
Also it helps with code maintenance. Touchscreen, luacontroller etc. would need to be synced over multiple mods.
My arguments are not absolute "no"s to the proposal. I think you need to bring better arguments than "combines xyz into one". Those kinds of proposals tend to be thrown out quite quickly.

I agree

As long as digilines stays the same, touchscreen stays backwards compatible and the many luacontrollers out there support digilines, everything should be fine, so i don't think that's a huge issue

Well, the laptop isn't really just combining the touchscreen and a luacontroller, the laptop also adds an easy way to pause the sandbox and adds the libox environment functions (that allow you to even create your ideal editor using loadstring/xpcall)
As for why the touchscreen was combined into the laptop, see this discord message/convo
but the tl;dr was that mclv wanted a luacontroller/touchscreen textured like a laptop so i did that
and also i thought why not
As for the robot, its whole moto is combining a lot of stuff, i don't think this is a bad thing if there are disadvantages compared to the normal pipeworks forms (like being expensive and having cooldown)
(like being expensive and having cooldown)
Adding a new mod wouldn't work around that. If added the recipes would be balanced to be similar to existing items or even more expensive since it combines so much. And it certainly wouldn't get added without joining mesecons monitoring -> cooldown.

By cooldown i meant delay (pausing of the sandbox for a bit, so that the robot couldn't rapidly place/dig/whatever), sorry

That's what i will be trying to do with the robot's recipe
would:
| silicon | super plastic | silicon |
| touchscreen | glue | mooncontroller |
| red dye | green dye | blue dye |
be a good recipe for the laptop?
or maybe:
| silicon | silicon | silicon |
| touchscreen | mooncontroller | digimese |
| silicon | silicon | silicon |
Look at the discussions concerning digibuilder. Both here and on digibuilder's tracker. (About reasonings, not the recipe)
The digibuilder issue tracker doesn't really have anything besides the dignode
command issue
The robot very much can be limited, just in a different way than digibuilder, it can be limited to for example placing and seeing only in a 1 block square around the robot, and that can be limited to take a longer time
Making you have to move the robot and figure out the path
and the pandorabox issue tracker doesn't really have anything(?)
a quick search brought up these and more: https://github.com/pandorabox-io/in-game/issues/331 https://github.com/BuckarooBanzay/digibuilder/issues/14 https://github.com/BuckarooBanzay/digibuilder/issues/16 https://github.com/pandorabox-io/in-game/issues/367 https://github.com/pandorabox-io/in-game/issues/360 https://github.com/pandorabox-io/in-game/issues/328

doesn't really tell me anything about the recipe (none of theese do actually), that's just an abadoned proposal to see inventories with digibuilder, that's why i didn't include it in my message earlier
digibuilder issue 14
that's what i had responded to in my message
digibuilder issue 16
i don't know how that's relevant, just a proposal to make digibuilder less painful to work with
360
i don't know how relevant that is(?) many many many robots could potentially act as a mass-scale building tool(? i don't know how painful that would be) they have loadstring
so changing the code wouldn't be such a pain
367
(both robot and laptop have wrench support btw) the libox_computer doesn't have any state nodes, i may change it later to make it more obvious when it is running
328
I don't know how that's relevant here...
(Wait i am an absolute dumbo, i just realised that this wasn't about the recipe, im sorry) (But still same points apply)
well uh how can i improve this mod
