ROADMAP (SHORT-TERM)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Library functions for handling nodecore interactions.
- API-ify pummel-splitting recipes.
- Hint system.
- Node check compiler, e.g. for buildable_to, name, groups, etc.
- Check-for-recipe util.
- Wallmounted pop-off-as-item and item_entity overrides
to transform into falling node.
- Flat-item node for tools and such: like sz_stuff_pile
- Need punch-groups for controlling tool capabilities
necessary to multipunch; are damage groups usable here?
- Plant life stuff
- Better tree growth, i.e. track cumulative time, apply
environmental factors.
- Leaf decay.
- Grass growth/smothering.
- Leaves settle into grass as podzol?
- Wood tech.
- Pummel planks to chip off sticks and form tool-heads:
- Shovel, axe, pick.
- Use toolhead on staff to form tool.
- Axe can dig logs.
- Pick can break stone into cobble.
- Shovel can dig solid dirt as-is.
- Stone tech.
- Dig up stone, ore using pick.
- Converts to loose cobble / loose ore (hand-diggable, falling)
- Tin, copper, iron.
- Combine loose cobble onto staffs to form stone tools
- Level 3
- Stone tools dig faster than wood, but are more brittle
- Fire tech.
- Create fire.
- Place a stick atop a pile of dead leaves.
- Multi-punch stick with staff, probabilistic success.
- Convert leaves to cinder.
- Cinder node:
- Keeps track of fuel quantity and quality.
- Quality in levels.
- Natural wood (and leaf/stick) sources are level 1.
- Duration/quantity in seconds, logs last longest.
- Produces fire nodes above and on all sides where eligible.
- Cannot be dug by hand, hurts.
- May randomly convert to loose cinder (falling).
- Converts to ash when exhausted (falling).
- Fire node:
- Requires at least one nearby air node or goes out.
- Cannot be put out by hand, hurts.
- Consume fuel quantity from burning cinder nodes below/beside, distribute
consumption semi-randomly.
- Apply heat to all nodes above/beside.
- Fuel nodes may convert to cinders if heated and air is present.
- Heat quality combined from sum of fuel sources.
- Smelting/cooking.
- Create and try to contain a fire, place node above fire to cook.
- Logs can be cooked (if smothered to prevent igniting) into charcoal (loose, falling).
- Ores can be cooked, converting into slag and molten metal.
- Different ores require different heat intensity.
- Tin and copper easily accessible, may only require wood.
- Iron requires an investment in charcoal.
- Molten metal:
- Flowing liquid, burns, ignition source.
- Automatically quenched after some time.
- If flows next to water, quench immediately at that location.
- Ingot will replace water; be sure to use infinite spring.
- Quenching:
- Trace out network, find all sources.
- Apply alloying recipes.
- Remove source nodes.
- Determine endpoint (in water, or random bottom node)
- Invisible "waiting" entity waits until all molten nodes gone.
- Places ingot at destination.
- Ingots placed near molten metals will sometimes melt (for alloying).
- Ingots can be re-melted above sufficiently-hot fire.
- Metal tools from ingots:
- Copper and tin, level 4
- Bronze, level 5
- Iron, level 6
