[Suggestion] Autonomous Activator-like machine
Could you add a small (2-3 blocks) multiblock machine that acts like the autonomous activator from TE? This would open up so many possibilities, for example, a cobblestone generator (by equipping it with a pickaxe) or a tree farm (equipping it with a Lumberaxe from TC). PS: Sorry that I'm doing the third "suggestion" in such a short time, maybe I do GitHub wrong. PPS: TE was open-sourced a few months ago, this could help you to implement it: https://github.com/CoFH/ThermalExpansion/blob/master/src/main/java/cofh/thermalexpansion/block/device/TileActivator.java PPPS: Random Question: Any plans on merging in #1509 and building a new release? Anyone who can't compile it for themselves may like that ;D
Regarding the PR: I am still working on changing the excavator's bucket wheel to the new rendering method (more precisely, I need to find a mineral vein for testing... and the mineral command is broken, probably because I made client side commands work, so I need to fix that as well), once I push that commit, IE is ready for a release in my opinion.
@malte0811 By the way, what do you think of my suggestion itself? Would you like that too?
There are autoclickerd in other mods, notably Extra Utilities, so it really depends on whether thematically it would fit, which I personally don't think so as something reseming a claw for "clicking" would look out of place
@KnightMiner for the thematic, it would fit if it had a nice model. Sadly, as far as I know, Damien Hazard (the mod's artist), is currently busy, so he won't be able to make a model. But @BluSunrize can implement it in the meantime, and make it a config option as long as is doesn't have a pretty model. Maybe some fans make thier own model?

wait what? where? wich block?
@ToadsworthLP you make it sound like I can't model, lol! Damien's definitely better than me with textures and stuff, but I did do quite a bit of the models =P
I have another issue with this suggestion however. I think that a multiblock autoclicker would be incredibly over encumbering. People don't want a 3x3x3 to pick a single berry bush. If this machine becomes a thing it'd be 1x1 or 1x2.
Secondly: Fake leftclicking is a pain in the ass. Fake rightclicking is already annoying because it requires fake players and stuff, but leftclicking is, as far as I remember, even worse because of blockbreak progress and things like that.
Thirdly, I do hvae /plans/ regarding a machine similar to this. I have had plans for basically a whole new tech-layer in IE for months now, I just haven't gotten around to working on it. Be patient folks, I'm sure I'll get around to it at some point ^_^
Yeah, sure, we'll leave it up. I do cleanups of my git every 3 months or so. It can stay till then.
