Progress
...has not stopped! I just have been working on many little things that I don't feel were worth individual posts, but now I have something big done I felt I could throw them in here.
I broke down the research data into individual files per character. Thus, if one character's research got corrupted, it would be easier to save/restore/edit, and in the end wouldn't break anyone else's research.
I've also been refactoring the majority of my industry TileEntity classes. Long/short of it is that it is very simple to make the upgradeable tiers and I can pump each one out in under an hour. Also, the 3 main machines (Furnace/Reconstructor/Deconstructor) all support working on an ItemStack whose size is greater than 1. I.E. Furnace can smelt a stack of Iron of size 8. They also all support instant work.
I finished the Encoder TileEntity (look for an update concerning this and the Reconstructor) soon. This finishes the Encoder/Deconstructor/Reconstructor trifecta.
The GUIs for the majority of the Industry/Power machines have been made.
Long and not least, the Tech Tree is almost finished. I just need to wrap up the Femto tier technologies, and then put it all into code. This also means that I have decided on a scope for release of Femtocraft, and will discuss that now.
What will be in the first release?
As I said in previous posts, Femtocraft is intended to be the core mod for several up and coming mods I intend to release. As such, it will provide a solid base and not much else.
Each additional mod will address a portion of the game/Femtocraft and I will refer to these portions as "Submodules."
Current list of planned Submodules
- Industry
- Smelting/Ores/Deconstruction - Reconstruction, Mass
- Power
- Femtocraft core Power generation
- Research
- Femtocraft Tech Tree system
- Nanites
- Player-based upgrades, World Generation (Nanite infested biomes, stable, unstable)
- Creatures
- Machine-based Creature harvesting. Vats and Feeding.
- Tools
- Utility
- Teleportation, Anti-Gravity fields.
Femtocraft will release with Industry, Power, and Research submodules.
