Hey Flax, another idea. Not a steam one but since we now have these nice brass materials to work with, what about a nice brass lantern that could be placed anywhere. maybe have it hang from a tripwire or such. maybe have a crafting recipe like below or replace the torch with some glowstone dust.
Oooh, that sounds like a nice decor block!
BTW, putting your episodes in the OP, if that's alright
just spent the last 1.5 hours fixing my test world after the explosion. exited to make a backup copy of the level. now i cant load the save file... crashes minecraft every time...
update:
Got back into the file be going back to 0.25.0. even though my boiler was again, only around 3/4full or less. it seems to have blown every rupture disc, blown up so other pipe further down the line, and took out some of my ceiling. I did post a crash log on the gethub for you guys.
You are using a beta mod, crashes are to be expected
Steam gauges placed on the Steam Filler will now report the steam in the item being filled rather than network pressure, and wrenches now alternate pointing a block towards and away from you when right clicking the front face
Beta 0.25.1
NOTE: Steam in existing steam networks will disappear with this update.
CHANGE: Steam gauges placed on the Steam Filler will now report the steam in the item being filled rather than network pressure.
CHANGE: Wrenches now alternate pointing a block towards and away from you when right clicking the front face
BUGFIX: Steam pipes that are camo’d no longer have derpy hitboxes
BUGFIX: Boiler/Flash Boiler burning/off sync has been fixed.
BUGFIX: Flash boiler now has the intended capacity, and should therefore generate pressure at a much faster rate.
BUGFIX: Steam should no longer disappear from a steam network when its chunk unloads
BUGFIX: Various oddities that occurred in the steam network when connecting/disconnecting pipes with the wrench have been addressed.
BUGFIX: Many debug messages have been removed and FSP should no longer spam your console
how about some kind of block that can release steam from the system and the amount will be controlled by the strength of the redstone signal.
by the way, I had no Idea that a comparator can detect the pressure from the gauge
That would make it too easy to avoid pressure. You're not supposed to be able to throw in all your fuel and AFK, you actually have to manage the system.
Not sure if this has been brought up or not. But I love the steam cooker block that hooks up the furnace. It is really cool. However, I noticed that it only works with the vanilla furnace and not other furnaces. For example the 3D furnace mod or More Furnaces. There furnaces are identical to regular in the way it cooks. It would be really nice to see some intergration for other furnaces and not just the vanilla one Otherwise fantastic mod. I really gotta say
I have to add integration manually for each mod using the heater, so it's difficult to make it work for other mods. Potentially in the future when there are less pressing issues.
one thing thats kind of bugged me for a while now. The steam hammer. the animation shows it having a piston of some kind to work it, but no piston is needed to make it. Just an obersvation.
The whistle is nice, but as a warning device it seems pointless. some one please correct me, but after playing with it for a while on totally redone steam networks its very quiet. like you have to be no more then 4-5 blocks away to hear it. This is also with me wearing headphones too, so its not like I have background noise drowning it out. if I get about 1-2 blocks away it gets really loud but the sound dies off quickly.
The fan wont show up in an item frame. im guessing becuase its a sideways half block?
The Pressure Converter dose not show up in the creative mode invintory. you have to craft it.
The fans and vacuum are fun. thinking of making a ride with these like a log ride but with air.
Converter bug is actually reversed - you shouldn't be able to craft it. It doesn't show up if you don't have a mod with fluid steam installed.
Fans/vacs can be redstone toggled, just a heads up. Forgot that in the entry.
Hammer piston thingy noted! The piston was added after the hammer
New update! Fans, Vacuums, pipe changes, and a lot more!
Due to many changes, it may be necessary to break and replace steam-related blocks.
Beta 0.25.0:
IMPORTANT:
ADDITION: Added pipe wrench
ADDITION: Added pressure converter
ADDITION: Added fan
ADDITION: Added vacuum
ADDITION: Added steam whistle
ADDITION: Added pipe concealment

ADDITION: Added the ability to disable most blocks/items in the configs
ADDITION: Added wimp mode for those that can’t handle the full power of steam (no explosions)
ADDITION: Rock smasher can be toggled to simply harvest blocks instead of smashing (see pipe wrench)
CHANGE: Default behavior of the Rock Smasher is to smash cobble to gravel, gravel to sand
BUGFIX: Flash boiler explosions no longer crash servers
BUGFIX: Fixed flash boiler texture when running
BUGFIX: Fixed several other crashes related to the new steam system
Was the Revolver part of the release or will it be in another release? Been tryna combine lots stuff from the engineering table, none of which seem to work XD
Oh and maybe a Bandolier or an ammo cache, cuz... ammo... lol. Are you still considering making the guns 3d? :3
P.S.
Any hopes on making this SmartMovement/Render API Compatible?
How would I make it smart movement compat? I don't change any anims for players.
Gun update is coming... I know you really want that revolver, and trust me, it's coming! It'll likely, no promises, be in the next update after the fan/vacuum/pipe mechanics/wrench update, which will also include many exosuit things.

It's not done, and it's been rehosted. Zen plans to work on it, he's a web dev.
