Cloud Crafting


Machines with special module can now pull ingredients and gather outputs directly from / into special cloud chests. Should not work with quality. NOT FOR HUGE FACTORIES!

Hi! I've been using your Mod for a week now and it's gorgeous, but I came across an idea how to improve it, namely to make a virtual storage like in fashion. https://mods .factorio.com/mod/QuantumResourceDistribution2. I think then this mod can be used without any tires at all and support large factories. In Large factories, a request to a random assembly machine is randomly satisfied Due to the fact that the polling frequency is higher than the resource usage rate and others are idle. is it possible to implement this in your fashion?

I'm aware of QuantumResourceDistribution, it's amazing mod that made a starting point on my development of cheaty no-logistic mods. I even learned some new things in terms of code from it.

Currently I'm already working for few weeks on new mod "Material Storage 2" which combines basically things you mentioned: wireless machines satisfaction + some form of virtual storage. In my case it's 8 virtual inventories 2048 cells each that acts as kind of "hard drives" from Applied Energistics 2 for Minecraft. It already fully implements Cloud Crafting functionality plus could pull items from virtual storage and supports quality.

Hence everything works now, unfortunately, now I'm not ready to release it because I'm not sure about the final form plus I need to think really carefully about items descriptions so they is no misunderstanding of how things work and how to use them

You can take a sneak preview if you want.

I watched your user profile and assume you know how to pack mods.

The difference from this mod is that you actually need to set cell filters in cloud chests so machines know where to spit crafted items. I found it more handy than just making machines fill chest to the brim

Hi! I installed the modification, but I didn't quite figure out how the new features work. How does material storage work? Do I need a cloud chest? I understood about the possibility of liquid transfer. The principle is the same as creating barrels of liquid

Digital fluid is like a barrel but without a barrel, so you could convert fluid/item at your liking.

Mod contains 2 parallel systems:
- Cloud Crafting as it is (except you must set filters in chests to place output into them) with cloud chests and cloud access modules
- And Material system - an independent system with Material Hub Chest which acts as memory modules holder (what you called "virtual storage") and Material Access Module. It acts just like cloud things, but instead it uses one central Material Hub chest and all installed memory modules. Keep it simple: you craft 8 memory modules (A - H), put them into Hub chest and you have central storage for 16 384 slots accessible for all machines with Material Access Module and all Material Chests (if you set cell filter)

As you see, It's quite complicated and probably I should've been merging these two mods together and exactly because of this I'm not yet ready to release it

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that your mod looks really cool. I’m a fan of Applied Energistics 2, so this is amazing! Keep up the great work—can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
