Explain your idea
-
other types of conveyors. [Roller conveyors, Chain drive conveyors, ect]
Why? [could also swap the rollers between Aluminum and Steel depending on the current use and needs] Realism and maybe for use in future multiblocks dealing with heat such as automated food production and being able to flip a switch to either stop or reverse a conveyor as needed -
Nixie tube displays
a simple display of Letters and or numbers [even a basic on and off to use for binary would be useful] could be potentially 2 maybe even 3 tubes pet block this would allow for a closer monitoring of the power system as well as looking nice -
Bearings
would have plenty of use case could do wood steel and even copper/bronze for ball bearings
example of a use case
A. upgrading the Windmill / Waterwheel to achieve greater speeds and more energy output depending on the tier of bearing used from very simple wooden bearings to steel ball bearings
B. same thing kind of but upgrade for the skyhook to achieve greater travel speed [could also be used as an upgrade for the Buzz saw in the same way Augers are for the drill] -
a form of upgrade for the Buzzsaw/mining drill to on top of accepting fuel also accept energy [not to replace fuel but to augment it lessening fuel consumption but adding Energy consumption could do a ratio of 1:16 for every 1 fuel it saves it costs 16 times that in energy the drill /saw would still function without energy just take more fuel
-
the ability to use Bubble elevators through metal chutes (Bubble Chutes!)
-
Creosote Lubricant
for use in lubricating the Excavator [and possibly other machines such as the Assembler, Automated Workbench, Squeezer, Crusher, and Mixer] why? Decrease processing time and to keep your machines in tip top shape If I need to lubricate a drill press going through metal why would I not need to lubricate industrial machinery? -
Sprinklers
for the earlier stages of the game to water crops before you have the Garden Cloche [could also be used to stop fires] -
Steam [power machines ect]
A. External heater could be used in a machine with an input of water to achieve steam which can then be either released into the atmosphere or harnessed to spin a turbine achieving Power
B. Steam could also be used as more than a source of power it can be used as a weapon Hot steam at high pressures a new ammo for the Chemthrower and the turret
C. as i mentioned earlier in the Conveyor section you could use Steam to cook
- No.
- Extremely annoying to render. Hard maybe.
- No.
- Meh. Diesel is produced anyway for the Dieselgen. If we had an electric version, people would just use that the moment they have a windmill, making the diesel version kinda pointless.
- Bubble behavior in Vanilla is a hardcoded mess. Bubble columns are a separate block that replace fluids.
- No.
- No.
- Absolutely not. You are in the discord, you can read the list of things we aren't going to do.
Please don't do mass suggestions like this, it's difficult to parse and to keep track of.
Also maybe talk about ideas in the discord first, so you don't suggest a bunch of stuff that we're definitely not gonna add.
