XenoTech
XenoTech represents a unique combination of transportation capabilities and technological solutions. This modification allows you to create various vehicles from ordinary blocks, giving them the ability to move. From cars and boats to airplanes and helicopters - all this becomes available for construction and use.
Technological Aspect
Imagine a farmer who, instead of manual labor, operates a combine harvester-tractor that processes fields daily. Or a courier who delivers the harvest directly to your storage. XenoTech turns ordinary vehicles into full-fledged automated systems.
Version 1.23 Innovations
In helicopters and other aircraft with hovering capability, lateral movement is now available. To do this, simply hold alt+a or alt+d for movement to the left or right respectively.
Vehicle Creation
The minimum set for building a vehicle includes:
- Ship Terminal - the main block for vehicle control
- Mover - mechanism that provides movement (wheels for cars, sails for boats)
- Engine - required for some types of movers (steam or internal combustion engine)
- Control System - rudders for boats, airplanes and other vehicles
The construction process begins with installing the ship terminal. After creating the structure, interact with the terminal and select the "Create new ship" option. The system will automatically identify all connected blocks as part of the vehicle.
Important: It is recommended to build vehicles on a special construction platform or in a suspended state to avoid including ground blocks in the ship's composition.
Vehicle Types
The following options are available:
- Boat - requires installation of a rudder and sails/propeller
- Car - needs wheels and an engine
- Balloon - created from special blocks
- Helicopter - requires a rotor or vertical propellers
- Submarine - equipped with underwater rudder and propellers
- Airplane - uses horizontal propellers and air rudder
Each vehicle type has a specific weight depending on the quantity and type of blocks used. To increase power, you can add additional movers.
Modification and Management
After creating a vehicle, various modification options are available through the ship terminal. The "Disassemble" function allows you to return the structure to its original state for making changes. The "Digitize" option is also available, turning the entire ship into an item for storage in inventory.
Process Automation
The modification includes specialized blocks for automation:
- Combine Harvester - automatically collects ripe crops and replants them
- Buzzsaw - gradually cuts down trees and cleans up foliage
- Drilling Rigs - for resource extraction with different coverage areas
All collected resources are automatically placed in chests on board the vehicle.
Working with Villagers
Villagers can operate your vehicles. For this you need:
- Install a driver's seat next to the ship terminal
- Capture a villager using a stasis gun
- Place the villager in the seat and configure the task list
Tasks are activated by various events, such as receiving a redstone signal.
Fuel System
Internal combustion engines require platinum, which can be found in caves or collected using special nets in water bodies. The fuel is refined oil, extracted from surface deposits.
Steam engines are less efficient but easier to use. It's important to note that most vehicles consume fuel only during movement.
Additional Features
The modification includes various useful blocks:
- Logic Gates for simplifying redstone circuits
- Vertical Redstone Wires for transmitting signals strictly vertically
- Snow Blockers for protecting structures from snow
- Manipulators for automatically performing actions
- Autocrafting Tables for crafting according to given schematics
Performance
A special rendering system ensures minimal impact on performance even when using large structures. If problems occur, you can switch to standard rendering mode in client settings.
