I feel like jumping for joy here!
\nFinally, I have a reason to use BuildCraft. Anyway, I just happen to be on the thread of NEI, and noticed someone talking about a mod called EnderChest.
\nI went to check it out, and my eyes bugged out when I read “You can store all the mine carts for your railway stations in the one chest and have them accessible from any station.”<\/p>\n
This is similar to a feature the author of Railcraft is planning, but isn’t going to be in the next update. And sure enough, IT IS! \ud83d\ude00 It uses BuildCraft to pump carts between dispensers (and the EnderChest). But the fact it has a global inventory, the carts inside will be available in every station in the system! No more “run out of carts” issue! I’m so fucking happy!<\/p>\n
I’m redoing my Cart Call\/Storage system with this, and thankfully I don’t have to redesign the stations to get it. BuildCraft’s pipes and engines fit right into where the Advanced Loader\/Unloader area was.
\nThe only modifications I’m having to do, is for the INNER LOOP LINE’s stations; Making sure a second wire connected to the first, doesn’t activate anything I don’t want it to when the signal goes through it.<\/p>\n
And one of the best things about EnderChest, say I wanted to make a transit system in the Nether, or in the Twilight Forest, the chests’ contents go through dimensions! Too bad carts themselves can’t go through portals.<\/p>\n
Due to having to do this by hand, since MCEdit doesn’t like mods too much, I’ve been fooling around with the pump block, draining underground water wells. But anyway, as for the EnderChest, I finally got back to work and I think I’m nearly done redoing the automated systems with BuildCraft, and the EnderChest.<\/p>\n
In 1.1.0 update news, ModLoader and Forge have finally been updated. I’m still waiting for several mods before I update. And as usual, Mo’ Creatures is taking its sweet time to be updated. Humans+ is no exception. Both are major mods, with authors that like to laugh at “WAH WAH UPDATE NOW PLOX!!” people for a week or two before updating.
\nRailcraft, poor Covert’s all alone making the mod. Fortunately, the Minecart Compatibility Layer is now a part of Forge. So that’s one less download I’ll need to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
