These will handle most of the main operations that then can be built on to. Power prefab are already handled by Dark-CoreMachine. + +Step One + Improve current farming system. This is mean adding more crops, better tools, more complex harvesting, and round about general farming tech + Blocks + Enriched dirt - soil + fertilizer, grows plants faster, lasts threw several crops + 6 stage block ID from fully used to never used + Fertilizer - compost with a little extra stuff, place on soil to turn it into Enriched dirt + Fluid, Fluid Block, flows over the dirt then merged into the dirt turning it into Enriched soil, very slow flow rate + Crops - override on the built in crop system, as well a dynamic API driven system of creating new plant types + Can't recall the current stock of plants in game but the idea is to create a tileEntity that stores the crop that doesn't update at all. Normal block updates will be used to call methods in the tile to force growth of the plant. Diffrent biome based plants need to be added. This will save on creating a block ID per plant + Compost - Pre stage to fertilizer. Will be mixed with dirt, water, and sand to create Fertilizer. Is stored as a bag or bucket item. Can enrich a single block of dirt to half enrichment by itself. + Compost box - creates compost from decayable matter over a time span of an hour or two. Takes a long time to create and has a diffrent time span per item + More fences - more dynamic and better looking fences to keep animals in or out. Diffrent colors, shapes, strengths, etc. Will be tileEntity data sync so to keep it down to one blockID. TileEntity does not update all at unless used for power on applications. Eg electric fence, or sensor fence. + TileEntity + Compst Box - basic processing of 4-8 slots per box, with a collective count of compost stored with a max of 255 per box. Compostis collected using buckets, and later bags + Entities + Change animals to look for an try to eat plants. This will force the player to want to fence off crops. + + + + +Step 2 + Block + Scarcrow - prevents most bird from attacking crops, can look exactly like a player + Sprinkeler - waters crops, when FM is installed it will require pipe input + Wood Tank - Added when FM is installed as a cool little feature. Can only store water + Crop support - blocks that support the growth of crops by increase growth height, restricting range of growth, or protect it from animals + Fruit trees - normal MC tree but yeilds a small crop of fruit every so often + Bird house - allows a bird to nest and stay in the area + Rat hole - created by the play as a more man made hole, or by the rate to indicated infestation + Bee box - later use, not sure if i want to go down this path right away. Might start with bug box + Bug Trap - block that draws in bugs and kills them, comes in several shapes and sizes. + Fungus - crops like grass but on all surfaces. Is a thin non-collision based block that provides cool crafting, and food. + Fluid + Pestizide - kills off insects but reduces crop yeild, created in potion stand and then mixed with water + Spray fertilizer - same as fertilizer but can be sprayed over an area for greater effect, same as above + Items + Spray can - sprays fluids in a small area.
