#NodeCore

@blindcoder if you don't care about mobs and are interested in building machines/automation, you may want to look into #NodeCore. It's a #Minetest game with a very different “form” compared to Minecraft-inspired ones, while still preserving the fundamental “dig and build” principle.

Smeltyface ready for duty. #NodeCore

Screenshot of my "Smeltinator Mk2" which ended up being easy to convert to a funny looking blocky face.

The eyes are currently lit up, filled with charcoal, but they could also be empty, in which case you would be able to see the blue lenses behind – also an interesting look.

Let's do a little #NodeCore stream where we work on my automated smelter. I might have already done the bulk of it off-stream but that's alright with you all, right? 💧
(edit: Oh and with some luck we'll get to experiment with lux!)

#NodeCore is an interesting game that I can best summarize by comparing it to the very early days of Minecraft, where there was no in-game crafting guide, and many players went into the game not quite knowing what to expect.

NodeCore, I feel like, tries to lean into that feeling, turn it into a game mechanic. Besides explaining some controls and basic mechanics such as how "pummeling" works, you start out with a handful of "hints" that push you to explore the game- and crafting mechanics on your own.

You'll figure out how to make wooden tools, discover fire, metalworking, and optics-powered logic circuits, which allow you to automate the things you've been doing manually until then.

We've played for a couple of weeks now but haven't yet unlocked some of the end-game mechanics, nor figured out everything ourselves.

It's very minimalist, but if you can stand that, I think it's worth checking it out.

Since I've gotten back into #NodeCore, a unique game written for the #FOSS bloxel game engine #Minetest, I wrote a mod for it called "Extended Rotating". That is now at the point of being worth showing off.

In the base game, you can rotate certain blocks, but you do this by going through each possible orientation in order.

My mod replaces the rotation logic, so you can rotate stuff in more useful ways, and the game shows you how the block will rotate with a HUD element on the cursor (may be removed?) and a now also a visual entity in-world.

I hope to soon publish it on the ContentDB as well, though there's still some things to iron out.

lizzie and I will be streaming some NodeCore today, getting up to shenanigans like automated optics-powered machine building – and showing off what we've already done.

I built a chromatic glass processing machine in #NodeCore, which is pretty, idiot-proof and can make both lenses and prisms. (Explanation in image description.) Also found a dupe glitch as a result, so yay me!

Demonstration of the chromatic glass processing machine, the first permanent machine in my base.

When items to be processed are first inserted it sets off the chain of events, which go as follows:

- Eject one item into the machine.
- Close flap so it can rest on it.
- Wait for the item to settle.
- Use the tool(s) on it to turn it into either a prism or two lenses.
- Open flap so output can fall out.
- If there's still items in the input, start over with a little delay.

As I'm building more complicated machines in #NodeCore, I'm getting annoyed by rotating nodes simply going through each of the states individually, instead of, say, clockwise around the face you clicked or so. Let's fix that!

The #NodeCore grind got a little easier thanks to an arguably overpowered mod, but we've still got work ahead of us if we want to move our on-ground storage into a nicer place.

Spent a couple of days at my mom's place, dog sitting and such. I really need to "revive" the TerraFirmaCraft, but I still need a little more energy to do that.

In the meantime, why don't I stream myself modding my #NodeCore mod that adds movable contraptions? I've been working on that while I was away.

I got up really early and now that the overseas people are asleep, it's time for me to take over the world! ... of #NodeCore. I did a tiny (test?) stream yesterday, but I'll be continuing to grind and build in this #Minetest game! 💚

My small early game #nodecore base

Interior of cave in blocky pixel game. There is two improvised shells, one with blocks, and one with tools. End of cave is blocked by seemingly broken wooden bars, they are purely decorative. There is also a part of frame made of planks in the corner of image

Exterior of base, view from bushes - you can see two high cliffs, night sky, a tree and part of frame made of planks.

Exterior of base, view from outside, you can see decorative bushes and wooden frame acting as entranse

Can I get a hint what I need to do to mix stuff as the guide suggests?

Why does the fire sometimes not start, inside it only gives a puff of smoke? Is there an element of randomness, or am I doing something wrong?

Currently playing #NodeCore in #MineTest

Wow, that's something completely different. Gitta admit, I already used the Wiki twice to look stuff up because it's so confusing...
