Temporal Hole

<p>This mod was created to add an end game solution to one of the most annoying parts of exploration: running out of space for loot.</p> <p>The Temporal Hole requires cupernickel and jonas parts to create, but it is capable of holding a theoretically infinite amount of loot.</p> <p>Once the loot has been sent through, it requires specialist equipment to retrieve: The Temporal Extractor uses mechanical power to pull items back through the Temporal Hole.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>While holding an item, Ctrl-click on the Temporal Hole to drop the item into it. Alternatively, Ctrl-click on an item with the Temporal Hole. Once you get back to base, click on the Extractor with your Temporal Hole to place it in the machine. The Hole will emit teal particles while it contains items, and items are extracted in a random order. Items are only extracted while the Extractor receives mechanical power, and extraction can be sped up by increasing the speed of rotation.</p> <p>After being extracted, Items will fall into the base of the extractor, and will fall through the bottom if there isn't a block underneath. Be careful, as items can despawn in this form. If a chute is added beneath the Extractor, it will automatically output items through it, though in this mode extraction is throttled by the chutes flow rate.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The mod also comes with some config options:</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">holeLimit: can be used to set a limit on the number of stacks a Temporal Hole can hold, mostly there if the server owner wants to nerf its storage capacity. Setting it to -1 or lower will revert to normal limitless behaviour</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">powerlessExtraction: lets the Temporal Extractor extract items without power at a base rate of 1 stack every 4 seconds. This speed can be increased if a faster source of&nbsp; power is attached.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">extractionSpeedModifier: allows you to increase or decrease how fast the Temporal Extractor extracts items. Also affects the base speed if powerlessExtraction is enabled</p> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This mod is coded with a bit of jank. I couldn't figure out how to attach an inventory to an item, so items are stored as an attribute attached to the Temporal Hole. I couldn't even use the games ItemstackAttribute, because for some reason they get erased a few frames after being set, so I had to convert them into bytes and save them that way. I also wanted the contents to stay when transferred between worlds, so item codes are saved as well, which also acts as a nice backup.</p> <p>I also haven't really tested the limits, but I stuffed 256 stacks in before I got bored, and it still worked fine. If you run into any problems please leave a comment.</p>
