Eln 2 agenda

Phases

These are better expressed in the Kanban boards on GitHub.

[ General Development Board ]

[ MNA ] [ Sim ] [ Blocks ] [ Items ]

Phase 1: MNA Code [DONE]

Core:

  • MNA finished

Phase 2: SingleNode [IN PROGRESS]

Kanban board: Phase 2 Projects

  • config file disclaimer option (disables the mod in un-obfuscated contexts, unless the user agrees to not pester the devs before 1.0)

  • Basic Sim API (not mod-integration ready necessarily)

  • Thermal Networks:

    • CreativeHeater: a simple thermal cable heater
    • Heatsink: a simple heatsink with no fan
    • Heatsink with a fan: a simple heatsink with a fan (12v, 24W)

  • Shaft Networks:

    • generator
    • motor
    • turbines
    • clutch
    • static shaft

  • Electrical Networks (with Thermal System)

    • SingleCable: a current based uninsulated cable that connects similarly to RF pipes
    • SingleSource: a simple voltage source block
    • SingleGround: a simple ground pin
    • SingleSwitch: a current based uninsulated throw switch
    • SingleResistor: a basic capacitor
    • SingleCapacitor: a simple capacitor
    • SingleInductor: a simple inductor
    • Basic 12v Battery

NOTE: Models are not a priority at this stage as most of the Single* items will be removed later.

Phase 2.5: Sim Revisit

Cameron wants to revisit the Electrical Simulator code after we finish Node.

If you want a good read, you shoud find a book about non-linear dynamic circuit systems.

Theoretically, this fixes our issues with InterSystem from the 1.7.10 version of Electrical Age.

Phase 3: MultiNode

  • Ghost Node implementation
    • solar panels
    • wind turbines
    • autominer

Phase 4: SixNode (Tiny Node if FMB?)

  • "New" SixNode
    • cables
    • switches
    • resistors
    • inductor
    • capacitor
    • lamp sockets
    • lamp supply
  • Remove Single* or at least de-list it (shadow registry)

Phase 5: Alpha Release and debugging

  • Initial rounds of bug fixing
  • Some reasonable textures
  • API v1.0 Stabilization (for mod compatibility)
  • Documentation subsystem using Patchouli
    • Write a converter to make this also presented on the website.
  • PDF "Datasheets" for components, akin to the ones in Shenzhen I/O
  • Mod translation code

When done:

  • remove developer disclaimer config
  • Release 2.0

Phase 6: Machines and equipment

In no particular order:

  • mod integration
    • oredict (items, fluids, gasses)
  • Machines
    • crusher
    • air compressor
    • experimental teleporter
  • Woodworking
    • saw

  • Metalworking

    • lathe (electric, shaft)
    • mill (electric, shaft)
    • drill press (electric, shaft)
    • shaper (electric, shaft)
    • press break (manual, electric, shaft)
    • english wheel (electric, shaft)
    • oxy-acetylene torch (gas)
    • hot riveting machine (electric, shaft)
    • electric welder (electric)

  • Industrial Metwalworking

    • rolling machine (electric, shaft)
    • forge hammer (electric, shaft)
    • forge heater (thermal)

  • Pole update material:

    • data cables, fiber (Sigbus, OC)
      • fiber box
    • 200v, 480v (lower wires)
    • 16kV (standard height poles)
    • 125kV power transmission (extra height poles and power transmission)
    • 220kV power transmission (power transfer towers)
  • Underground cable transmission
    • manholes
    • underground fiber
      • fiber box
    • <2kV cables/sigbus
      • Ground transformer
  • Steam and Oil Processing
    • Oil fields
    • Oil rigs (factorio-esque with diminishing returns)
    • Oil Processing Tanks
    • Biofuel Processing
    • Solar Tower (generates steam from heat)
    • Nuclear Reactor (generates hot coolant)
      • Liquid Heat Exchangers (uses hot coolant and water to make steam and cold coolant)
      • [ ]Gas Heat Exchangers - uses exhaust from gas turbines to heat water to make steam
