Particle effect when quarry digs a node (#257)
* Magenta particle explosion effect when quarry digs a node

* Option to enable dig particle effects, disabled by default. Reduced particle count to 20.

* Changed dig particle effect - a particle starts in each of the 8 corners of the cube and move to the middle

* Only generate dig particles if network lag is < 35000

* Replaced quarry dig effect with a particle spawner - the node's particles stream towards the quarry, stopping just in front of it, like they're being sucked up.

* Simplifying dig particle vector maths using vector functions

* Fixing comment typo

* Dig particles now accelerate towards the quarry along a particular axis, causing them to approach the quarry in a curve. This also means they end inside the node in front of the quarry, which improves how the effect looks when digging deep down.

* Adding network to run_nodes call, using network passed through to check lag for quarry dig particles

* Missing local

* Missing local

* Using vector.new to copy a vector and make a 0,0,0 vector

* Update technic/machines/HV/quarry.lua

* Adding enable_quarry_dig_particles to README

* Renaming enable_quarry_dig_particles to quarry_dig_particles

* Reorganising quarry_dig_particles position in config list

* Missing comma

Technic

A mod for minetest

License ContentDB

Overview

The technic modpack extends the Minetest game with many new elements, mainly constructable machines and tools. It is a large modpack, and tends to dominate gameplay when it is used. This manual describes how to use the technic modpack, mainly from a player's perspective.

The technic modpack depends on some other modpacks:

  • the basic Minetest game
  • mesecons, which supports the construction of logic systems based on signalling elements
  • pipeworks, which supports the automation of item transport
  • moreores, which provides some additional ore types
  • basic_materials, which provides some basic craft items

This manual doesn't explain how to use these other modpacks, which have their own manuals:

Recipes for constructable items in technic are generally not guessable, and are also not specifically documented here. You should use a craft guide mod to look up the recipes in-game. For the best possible guidance, use the unified_inventory mod, with which technic registers its specialised recipe types.

FAQ

  1. My technic circuit doesn't work. No power is distributed.
    • A: Make sure you have a switching station connected.

Notes

This is a maintained fork of https://github.com/minetest-mods/technic with various enhancements. Suitable for multiplayer environments.

  • Chainsaw and HV Quarry re-implementation (@OgelGames)
  • Switching station lag/polyfuse and globalstep execution (@BuckarooBanzay)
  • No forceload hacks
  • Additional HV machines (@h-v-smacker)
  • LV, MV, and HV digiline cables (@S-S-X and @SwissalpS)
  • Chests with digilines and more complete user interface
  • Most of network code rewritten
  • Many bugs that allowed cheating fixed
  • CNC machine with pipeworks, upgrades and digiline support
  • Better performance
  • various others...

Compatibility

This mod is meant as a drop-in replacement for the upstream technic mod. It also provides some additional machines and items, notably:

  • HV Grinder, Furnace, and Compressor
  • LV Lamp
  • LV, MV, and HV Digiline cables
