I would like to use Progressive Automation in my FTB third party modpack "Project Easy", which is will be released as soon, as i get all the permissions and finish my work.

just a few ideas throwing around here, feel free to ignore them

as suggested before, how about a machine to autokill mobs?
ofcourse there would be 4 tiers, and it'd work the same as the other machines.
but there'd be a bit more to it, where the wood tier only kills mobs and nothing else.
stone tier kills mobs and gather their loot, iron kills mobs and gathers loot and experience and diamond tier is the final tier.
there'd have to be a way of using the experience collected, which brings me to another idea.

there'd be a new item which is basically a container for experience.
this container comes in 4 tiers, each tier being able to hold more experience.
the experience containers can be used by machines starting from the stone tier.
when you've a machine with an experience container, you're able to choose one enchant to be used on the tools, and the level depends on the machine tier.
if you've a stone tier, you'll have a level 1 enchant. iron is a level 2 enchant and diamond is a level 3 enchant.
you can pick between silk touch, fortune, looting, unbreaking, efficiency and sharpness.
note that the machine doesn't actually enchant the tools in the machine, it'll only use that enchant on tools till the experience container is empty
after that it'll use the tools as it'd normally use.

there's a small bonus using this together with enchanted tools, but not enough that's actually profitable to have both the machine running at for example fortune 3 and using a tool that has fortune 3 aswell.
the enchant and level of the enchant will decide how fast the experience container will drain, and you'd be able to configure the level of the enchant with each machine.
for the efficiency and sharpness enchant, seeing as it has 5 levels, the stone tier would be level 1, iron would be level 3 and diamond would be level 5

another idea I had would be to make the machines actually being able to progress, instead of it being just tiers.
just as a player can gain experience by mining ores or breeding animals a machine is able to gain experience by doing it's job.
each time a machine does work, it gains experience, and with enough experience the machine can level up.
with each level, the machine becomes more and more powerful.
everytime a machine levels up, it could for example get a larger internal inventory, becomes more fuel efficient and tool efficient (giving less damage to the tool when used) and perhaps allow the use of new kinds of upgrades.
there could be a seperate inventory slot(s) aswell where you can place tools in, instead of having to use a hopper to keep providing the machine with tools.

the level of the machine also decides how much upgrades the machine can hold.
so obviously at level 1 the machine can only hold a few upgrades.
there would also be a special inventory where you can find all the upgrades, so you can easily add or remove upgrades.

there would also be special upgrades for each machine, just like how there's the cobble gen upgrade for the miner right now.
for the planter and chopper there could be a fertilizer upgrade, for the planter there could be a hydration upgrade, for the slaughterer there could be a breeding upgrade allowing you to use it for animals aswell and so on.
there's also the special option of upgrading a machine through leveling.
when a machine has reached it's maximum level for the current tier you can upgrade the machine to the next tier for a lower price then what it'd normally cost.
this way you don't lose your machine's experience when you are ready to move onto the next tier.

just a note, I've no coding knowledge myself, so I have no idea if these ideas are even possible...

Wondering if I could get some help, I've got a butt ton of spam occurring whenever I access the inventory of any of the miners or choppers (only ones I've gotten to use so far).. They cause a stream of errors to occur with a plugin I use called Tardis.
I spoke with eccentricnz the developer and he gave me a bit of insight as to what was causing the error to occur:
Since it only happens when I am accessing the chopper or the miner; is there something in particular that would be causing the null?

eccentricnz:
error above points to line 109 in the code which is returning a Null Pointer Exception i.e. something on that line is null when it shouldn't be. The code in question is this:@EventHandler(ignoreCancelled = true)
public void onThemeMenuDrag(InventoryDragEvent event) {
Inventory inv = event.getInventory();
String title = inv.getTitle();
if (!title.equals("§4TARDIS Upgrade Menu")) { // this is line 109
return;
}
// other code removed
}
So the only thing that can return null on that line is the inventory title.
What TARDIS is doing is registering an inventory menu drag event listener with Bukkit, if a player drags the curser in an inventory then TARDIS is notified and it then proceeds to check whether the inventory is a TARDIS inventory. If it isn't then TARDIS ignores it, if it is then the 'other removed code' cancels the inventory menu drag.
In your case the code never gets as far as the ignoring or cancelling, because getting the Inventory title returns null.

Apparently that would cause the spam... plugins are looking for titles to opened inventories. ugh..

I really like this mod. It's simple and clean. Two suggestions for future development:

1) It would be nice if the chopper would accept saplings from other mods trees. For example, currently it's not possible to plant MFRs rubber trees.

2) Make input and output configurable. For example like all the Thermal Expansion machines.

Great mod. Don't know if this has been mentioned or not before, but the chopper doesn't recognize saplings from natura, and it doesn't recognize vanilla saplings like dark oak or jungle that need to be planted 2x2.

Hi

Was testing things out in creative but I cant seem to get the planter to work. Ive put seeds in, some charcoal and a wooden hoe. It just says "waiting". Ive tried above ground, same level and one level below. Any ideas what Im doing wrong?? Thx

EDIT Ah! Wasn't putting it low enough. Working now :-)
