Hi everyone, additional to the changes to the miner and composter we also created a worker which allows the colony to produce materials which are difficult to get depending on the location in the world (Especially in the sky or under the earth).
For that reason, we created the crusher!
The crusher is able to transform certain vanilla blocks into others.
This way he crushes cobblestone to gravel, gravel to sand and sand to clay at the cost of 2:1 each (considering that in the process parts of the stone will go missing etc).
Setup:
As always we start with setting up a new block for the hut.
And then register the block and item.
Not forgetting to add the custom inventory renderer.
Create a building.
And then map block to the building.
The crusher building has the list of recipes on what he can transform certain things into.
Which are filled with the required data.
When are then transformed in static recipe storages for quick access.
Besides that the building stores the daily quantity it can produce, the current quantity of this day and the mode it is set on.
The max daily quantity is set depending on the level of the building and the daily quantity reset with each new day.
Also gotta setup a default job.
and add a string based mapping.
Gui:
The GUI to trigger these settings sets up the input settings field, registers thebutton and setsup the current values.
On saving the changes made in the GUI the mode in the building view is set.
Which triggers a message to the server side.
And also setsup the strings in the GUI according to the changes.
The message to send over has to be registered.
And it checks if the sending player has the permission and if so, checks if the quantity is too big and then assigns the quantity to the building.
Leaving only the AI.
The AI:
The AI inherits crafting so it can also crush on request.
It has a small decision method where we check if the underlying crafting code requires things to do.
If this is not the case we run straight into the crushing code.
The crushing code walks the AI to the building, face the crusher block, setup delay and progress and then check if the current recipe is set.
Then it checks if he reached his daily quantity in the direct production mode. If not he checks if he reached the progress counter.
If he has all the resources to craft. (checkForItems checks for this)
He then increments the craft counter, decreases saturation and increments the actions done if he is not currently fulfilling a request.
If he doesn't have it, and he is not in the crafting stage he will setup everything to request the needed items.
Finally, we play a crushing sound at the citizen and send particles over.
Which also has to be registered.
The craft method is quite similar to the existing craft method but reduces the complexity of hitting the block to running the crusher block.
Small fixes:
In the event where we check if a player can lay in a bed (checking if a citizen is there already) we have to check if the bed has the right properties and is not a modded bed (causes some compatibility issues).
