      I remember it from that modpack too. I played on a server and used it to automate pneumaticraft plastics. I remember designing a way overcomplicated farm for the black plastic using it which required tons of shenanigans because the tickrate on the server prevented it from planting while it was bobbing up and down. No other mod had the logic necessary to make it function right. It also handled all my sifting, and compacting of resources.

    @in_the_shitter 6 місяців тому +6

    Something that should be mentioned is that when it says every redstone pulse it means every restone pulse
    So if you take something like the timer from rftools and set it to 2 ticks , and have your trigger be every redstone pulse, you will transfer things very fast and efficient and with surprisingly no lag
    Was very useful for my massive fission reactor + turbine + the other reactor setup logistics. Had a problem with input speeds with mekanism and pipez taking too long to activate the transfer and sfm the goat came in clutch
    Also side note automating blood magic with it, is a breeze and makes the mod 10x less annoying to deal with

  • @ae453.2
    @ae453.2 2 місяці тому +2

    I think this mod is an amazing intro to programming in general. Some people see code, or even terminals, and immediately get scared or overwhelmed. Minecraft and SFM could be the perfect bridge to real world programming.
    But you did an amazing job explaining how the mod works, and reminds me a lot of proper programming (specifically, starting small and ending bigger). Programming to me is all about take blocks and piecing them together, then problem solving.
    Anyways, thanks for introducing this mod to me! Im looking forward to using this in the future.

      Like with the (mining) turtle mod, it's the same progression. That one is just a bit more challenging and with a higher skill ceiling of what is possible than a mod that only handles inventories

    • @ae453.2
      @ae453.2 2 місяці тому

      @ I always loved working with computer craft. Im not an expert at managing them, but it was fun working with friends and messing with the turtles.
      But what I like about SFM, is scaling. Scaling with CC is, at least in my experience, a bit harder. But Im sure these mods could go hand in hand.

    • @ashoka7273
      @ashoka7273 2 місяці тому

      @ae453.2 hmm, that's actually an interesting point, I wonder how well they could work together.
      Because I assume that SFM doesn't mark the device (label) but only the coordinates of the block and give that one a name. If it didn't then one would be able to access the turtle at anytime wherever it is.
      Also if that is true then SFM probably doesn't handle moving blocks either (like chest minecarts) since it was all "every x ticks" so it would try to interact with a turtle at a certain position even if there is none there atm (if it just skips and tries again the next time then that's fine)
      Otherwise it would need to have a function to check if the turtle is even at the block/ the block is interactable. Or the turtle just interacts with a chest and that's what SFM interacts with as well... but that's too easy and boring!
      I don't plan to use the mod any time soon or else I would have gone and looked at the documentation. But it's just fun to think about the possibilities! Sorry for rambling lmao

    Amazing tutorial awesome work! One thing that I'm still grappling with is how sometimes phyto's also create other seeds as output such that eventually you can accumulate hundreds of the same seed which clogs up your phytos to only creating one type. Is there a work-around or am I overthinking this?

    The forget is blue for me instead of it being pink. I don’t think it even recognizes it either so do I fix so it would put on seed in?
