18:58 analphabet1 marktraceur: anyway, I've been thinking about your factory mods and I decided to revamp the whole thing a bit
18:59 marktraceur analphabet1: Oh, cool. I don't suppose that means patches are in my future.... :)
18:59 analphabet1 heh
18:59 analphabet1 transactors, for instance, are way too expensive, imo
19:00 marktraceur analphabet1: How do you figure? That's a pretty awesome power, I'd say it's pretty good to have a lot of cost.
19:00 analphabet1 plus you can't chain transactors
19:00 analphabet1 assume you really want to transport things, then you'd need like hundreds of those
19:01 marktraceur analphabet1: Not a bad idea, I guess. Adding an inventory to a transactor and putting an item in it (one at a time) isn't a bad idea.
19:01 analphabet1 yea, I already implemented that
19:02 marktraceur analphabet1: In any case, the idea isn't really to enable long-distance transport
19:02 analphabet1 works fairly well
19:02 analphabet1 I figured...
19:02 marktraceur analphabet1: This is all about automating tasks, not movement
19:02 marktraceur Anyway, gotta go to a meeting
19:02 analphabet1 okies
19:30 analphabet1 I'd like to make those conveyors fit in with each other seamlessly even if people need to build bends with 'em
19:30 analphabet1 can anyone help me with that?
19:31 analphabet1 should I use raillike drawtype?
20:14 marktraceur analphabet: I think there's a mod that does that already
20:14 marktraceur analphabet: Pipes or something. Maybe VanessaE was involved?
20:14 analphabet  what exactly?
20:14 analphabet  d'you mean pipeworks?
20:21 analphabet  marktraceur
20:22 marktraceur Probably. I thought that's what it was, but maybe pipes was something else
20:22 VanessaE    I did Pipeworks, yes.  Mauvebic added water flowing ability, see my git repo:  https://github.com/VanessaE/pipeworks
20:26 analphabet  VanessaE: but you can't transport other things can you?
20:27 VanessaE    analphabet: technic mod can use the tubes to transport items, and mauvebic is working on moving other fluids such as lava or oil.
20:27 analphabet  VanessaE: and those tubes can transport anything
20:28 marktraceur Ohhh, technic.
20:28 marktraceur That's the one.
20:29 analphabet  ah, well then I've been wasting my time here...
20:30 VanessaE    analphabet: I think so, but I have not used them extensively myself
20:30 VanessaE    (go figure, I designed the tubes :) )
20:31 analphabet  yea, I found out about those...
20:31 analphabet  didn't know they could transport any item though...
20:31 analphabet  I just read about them being able to transport water
20:32 VanessaE    only tubes transport items - pipes transport water and eventually other fluids.
20:34 analphabet  myea, thanks.
20:35 analphabet  marktraceur: I still think it's a useful change/addition..
20:36 analphabet  marktraceur: you might want to have a look (once i've upoaded it to github) and consider pulling -- it's up to you
20:37 analphabet  (I also added some comments ;) )
20:58 marktraceur analphabet: Could you submit a patch for each change, maybe? Comments would be awesome, but I like the cost.
