Linear Power

Description

<h2><span style="background-color: #f1c40f;">No longer maintained. Some fixes in https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/35706</span><br><br>The idea of this mod is to have the possibilitiy to utilize linear mechanical power integrated to the existing angular mechanical power.&nbsp;</h2> <p>Conect a slider-crank to an existing mechanical power network and connect the sawmill to the crank. Add a saw and then add any "sawable" block.</p> <p><strong>Before version 3.0.1 the default for saw-degredation was mistakenly set to 10x vanilla! The configuration needs to be changed manually!</strong></p> <p><strong>I like variants! If there's some modded wood variant you'd like support for, let me know which mod and I'll add it!</strong></p> <p>https://youtu.be/2VkssI8-YiI</p> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle">Details</div> <div class="spoiler-text">Higher tier saw processes blocks faster.<br><br>The sawmill can be fully automated with a chute on top and a hopper below.&nbsp;<br><br>The sawmill handles any grid recipe which includes a saw (as tool) and one single ingredient, modded or otherwise.</div> </div> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle">Configuration</div> <div class="spoiler-text"> <p>By default the saw does not degrade as it is used in the sawmill, practically giving you an infinte saw (slightly balanced by the fact that it takes time to process items).</p> <p>If you don't like this it's possible to change the degrade rate of the saw in the configuration (VintageStoryData\ModConfig\linearpower.json)</p> <p><strong>sawDegradeRate: 0.0 (default)</strong><br>0 means no degradation<br>1 means vanilla degradation</p> <p><strong>* Using values above 0 but below 1 and processing things that only take 1 durability will still degrade the saw once the accumulated "damage" reaches 1 or more.</strong></p> </div> </div> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle">Known issues</div> <div class="spoiler-text"> <p>Issues remain with orientation of the sawmill animation. Chaining multiple sawmills is problematic but otherwise it should now animate correctly. (<a href="https://github.com/d-lindahl/vintagestory-linearpower/issues/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://github.com/d-lindahl/vintagestory-linearpower/issues/1</a>)</p> <p>Saw-degradation is not applied when using Immersive Wood Sawing due to the recipe not being present.
