##BASIC OVERVIEW

###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
2. Keypad setup, with empty password anyone can use it just by punching

###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

###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

2.Distributor passing signal from bottom distributor onto 2 movers

###detector:

• can detect nodes, players, objects, text on nodes, light levels
• can detect nodes in 2 positions at once and perform OR, AND operation
• as a response it can activate machines or pass name of detected objects to keypad
• has ability to filter output signal ( only OFF, only ON or only activate if state changes)

###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)

###recycler:

• will give you back ingredients used to create item with some loss
• requires fuel/battery for operation

###grinder:

• processes materials for more efficient mining
• can grind metals/mese/diamond to dust, can grind cobble->gravel->dirt or stone->sand

###autocrafter:

• automate crafting by just providing materials

###enviroment block

• can set up physics for players near it. Ordinary players are limited, admin has no limits and can set skybox as well
• can set move speed, jump speed, gravity, sneak

###ball spawner

• spawns a ball
• there are 2 types of balls: OFF or ON ( depends how spawner was activated)
• balls can be moved around with mover in object mode
• if ball hits an active block it will activate it
• if ball hits other block it will bounce off it
