Compact Machines

Adds one simple game mechanic: Small rooms inside of blocks. It basically gives you the ability to build your contraptions inside of a single block.
Each side of a Compact Machine has a small buffer for items, fluids and Redstone Flux allowing the room to interact with the outside. Applied Energistics channels, ProjectRed bundled cables and OpenComputers cables are supported as well. The room has the corresponding counterparts on its walls.

Please do not ask about "having permissions to XYZ this mod". You have it, do what ever you want with it.

Your first room

• Craft yourself a compact machine
• Right click it with a "Personal Shrinking Device"
• Use the interfaces in the walls to access the buffers
• Right click again to leave the block.

Spotlight

Blocks and Items

Compact Machines, 6 sizes

Surround a World Resizing Cube with one of the following materials:

• Wood gives you a 3x3x3 room
• Iron, 5x5x5
• Gold, 7x7x7
• Obsidian, 9x9x9
• Diamond, 11x11x11
• Nether Star, 13x13x13

Personal Shrinking Device

Required to enter/leave a block. Don't lose yours while you are working inside of a machine or you might get trapped.

Quantum Entangler

Use it to link two machines to the same room. They share the same content and buffers. Both machines must be upgraded with a netherstar and must be of the same size. You cannot entangle two used machines, i.e. the target machine must never have been entered before.

Stuff only required for crafting

You only need these to craft the two things above.

• World Resizing Interface


• World Resizing Cube


• Atom Shrinking Module


• Atom Enlarging Module

Other random features

• You can upgrade your Compact Machines using a Nether Star.
Upgraded machines do not lose their contents and can be placed down again.
Not upgraded machines drop their content - you might lose stuff though, be warned.

• Interfaces/Machines can automatically export their contents
You can configure this using the interface block GUI.

• The machines interior is automatically chunkloaded

Credits

This mod would not have been possible without the following open source mods:

• Enderstorage (helped with inventory + fluid handling across dimensions)
• CodeChickenCore/Lib (helped with Inventory, Fluid utils, Chunkloading)
• Minefactory Reloaded (helped with drawing tanks+energy on GUIs)
• Random Things (helped with dimension handling)
• EquivalentExchange (how to get started)

All of these mods provided code for certain features or at least ideas on how to tackle some implementations. Again, this mod would not have been possible without the fantastic work of their authors. Thank you guys a lot. I would also like to thank everyone who contributed directly in some way, e.g. the translators and others who helper promote the mod.


The sources for this mod can be found here.

Updated to 1.5:

• Do not set hopping mode for AE/PR
This isn't necessary anyway, since these are basically cables and have no buffer to begin with. Fixes compatibility when not having these mods installed.

• Allow stuff to grow in Compact Machines.
Basically sunlight. Grass, seeds and stuff.

• Added the Quantum Entangler
Use it to link two machines to the same room. They share the same content and buffers. Both machines must be upgraded with a netherstar and must be of the same size. You cannot entangle two used machines, i.e. the target machine must never have been entered before.

I was playing with this yesterday, it is it pretty amazing! My mind is spinning with ideas. Building a Big Reactor , mob farms, storage, farms..so many uses. I'm watching this one close

Am I allowed to distribute your mod in my modpack (FusionPack)? I saw your mod at GitHub, and it looks very interesting to me.

Sure. This is true for everyone.

Glad you like it.


Updated to v1.6

• Added support for OpenComputer cables
• Added support for WAILA
Interfaces show their side and Machines show size and room number.

• Translations! Thank you guys.
• Fix #10: Prevent stuff from entering buffers on unused machines
• Chunkloading settings
There are three settings to choose from:

0 = Never. This is not recommended and only for servers with very poor performance

• 1 = Always. The machines interiors are always chunkloaded. This is the default
• 2 = Smart. The machines interiors are chunkloaded when the machine itself is chunkloaded
Changing these settings on an existing world might not work fully automatically, e.g. when switching to "always" mode you might have to check by machines in the overworld so their interiors get chunkloaded.

Updated to v1.7

• More wither etc protection for the inside blocks of Compact Machines
• Tooltips: Show the side, the stored fluid and the amount of redstone flux.
• The item used to upgrade Compact Machines can be configured now.
• Make cooldown for hopping interfaces/machines configurable.
The cooldown is specified as the number of ticks between each import/export action.

• Decreased default cooldowns:
Flux: 0, i.e. 10000 RF/t throughput

• Fluids: 10, i.e. 2 Buckets per second
• Items: 10, i.e. 2 Stacks per second

Been having some crashes when leaving a chunk that contains a compact machine using 1.7, the problem didn't exist in 1.6.

This should be fixed with this release:

Updated to 1.8

• InGameWiki Mod support
• Fix sided hopping mode
• Do not simulate energy transfer
With this you should be able to use e.g. Mekanism cables directly.

• Drop items currently in buffers when breaking a machine
• Improvements to the teleportation logic
When nesting Compact Machines do not teleport directly to the overworld when leaving an inner block, but instead return to the previous room.

• Allow setting the spawn location inside of machines, simply right click your Personal Shrinking Device while sneaking.


• Some smaller fixes, including the above NullPointerException

Quote from BBoldt»

In the 1.8 version, items stored in inventories which were inside compact dimensions got all scrambled up. It's like all the IDs got switched around, and the only place it happened was the compact dimension.

I cannot reproduce this. Do you have an idea when this happens?

Excellent, thanks for your support.

Until I release a new version later today you can set the chunkLoadingMode to "always" and should not experience the crashes from before.

Updated to v1.9

• More NPE fixes for chunkLoadingMode=2
It is recommended you update to this version if you are running this mod on a server with chunkLoadingMode set to 2. It will prevent client crashes.

• Added config option to disable Quantum Entanglement
Quantum Entanglement is rather OP and nullifies some game mechanics of other mods. Set allowEntanglement to false to prevent this.

• Use the center of rooms as the default spawn location
• Prevent players from leaving the room boundaries
