##BASIC OVERVIEW

###mover:

  • automation of harvesting/planting tasks with mover. Harvest trees or plants, replant them... or just dig a hole.
  • it can put nodes into or take them from chests
  • it can move items between 2 nodes with inventory ( for example from furnace to chest)
  • it can work over larger area, limited to radius 10. With upgrading radius increases up to 110.
  • it can move players or objects (instantaneous teleport or slow glide)
  • it can reverse direction of move or only move specific things ( filter )
  • it needs battery nearby to work, required power depends move distance and type of operation
  • respects protection of nodes

###keypad:

  • puncheable button that can activate machines (repeatedly too), can be used as keyboard, to change labels on blocks, chat to nearby players or change filters in other machines.
  • Can be password protected as well
  • partial compatibility with mesecons mod (you can activate mesecon blocks)
  • respects protection of nodes

####Images

  1. Whole field will be harvested upon punch of a keypad mover1
  2. Keypad setup, with empty password anyone can use it just by punching mover1

###distributor:

  • can pass input signal to up to 16 outputs, with optional delay
  • can negate signal (NOT gate)
  • can filter signal (only transmit OFF or only ON)
  1. Distributor setup (2 movers as output), input is another distributor distributor1

2.Distributor passing signal from bottom distributor onto 2 movers distributor1

###battery

  • powers machines using builting power generator, its upgradable for larger capacity and power output
  • you can use any furnace fuel to generate power or special power cells, provided by separate generator block
  • if you put furnace on top of battery and activate it, furnace will run without needing any other fuel. By upgrading battery furnace will additionaly gain smelting speed boost

###generator

  • slowly (1 per 20 seconds) generates power cells, used in recharging battery
  • with upgrades it generates better power cells (upgrade 20: power blocks, upgrade 99: power rods)

###enviroment block
