I liked the idea, so I messed around a bit and came up with a proof of concept. Let me know what you think!

PowerBelts is a mod that will require belts to draw power in order to run. You won't have to electrify your entire belt, but place a single motivator belt at the head of your line to activate the entire thing. I've created a proof-of-concept mod, and will be updating this soon. I'm currently looking ...

Hi!

I'm trying to create a custom transport belt entity that will draw power from the grid. But I've had no luck so far with getting the belt to connect to the grid. Can anybody advise?

Helpful. You really should link to them in the wiki! I found them purely by chance.

I've got a mostly-working bomber (it flies, at least) by wholesale lifting of the actual car prototype code. But I'm having a weird problem where it occasionally goes entirely invisible while moving around. Can anybody please advise?

Oh, I'm attaching the modified bomber pic. Maybe it can save you ...

Any support for DyTech ores?

Absolutely loving it!

Wow, my compliments. That was fast work!

I'm not getting any more errors with the new version of RSO. However, I think it has some balancing issues with DyTech. After running in one direction for 10 minutes, I saw mostly iron, coal and copper. Only about 5 DyTech ores showed up, and all in ...

Hi,

I'm getting errors when I generate a new map, pairing RSO 1.0.14 with DyTech.

Resource not available: Bauxite-ore
Resource not available: Rutile-ore
Resource not available: Quartz

Also, it seems that many DyTech ores are not spawning at all. Or at least I didn't see several of them in 5 mins ...
