• ➕ Feature request

A Capability Interface would function much like the Capability Proxies from the same-named mod, except that they would connect over the logic network. Not only would this allow for faces of machines to be accessible anywhere on the network, it would also greatly increase support for other mods, acting as a sort of universal interface. For instance, using such a device, you could transfer rotary power from Crossroads, or embers from Embers across the network. You could even theoretically use it with Integrated Dynamics itself, allowing you to carry separate logistics networks on the same wire, like the P2P Tunnels from Applied Energistics. It could even be possible for the Capability Interface to be reconfigured with logic, allowing accessing different machines based on advanced conditions. (But maybe that's asking a bit much.)

Of course such an ability would be incredibly powerful, especially when combined with things like the Omni-directional Antenna. So perhaps some care is needed, but I think it's a feature people would find plenty of use for.

Good idea.

Not sure yet if I want this to be part of IT, or create a separate addon mod for this.

I'll second this idea and make a suggestion on implementation: have the GUI have variable writers that encode the block position and interaction side. This would even provide a solution to the feature request I submitted last week.

I could see this being included as part of ID or as an addon. I don't see this as being tunnels specific functionality, though. It feels like either core mod or addon.
