No offense, but coming with the same (quite obvious) idea is not "plagiarism".

yes a lot of ppl have the same idea so i wasted couple of hours to desing a propan gastank in blender for petrolium and acid ...



but this thread can be deleted

Same idea, different implementation, nothing wrong with that with modding.

A quote, from stargate SG-1, when a someone writing stargate stories saw Wormhole X-treme was on TV.
"There comes a point where originality is completely lost, and we end up regurgatating the same crap over and over."



Don't let him discourage you, I can plainly see that your mod wasn't a copy, I've even thought of writing a mod doing the exact same thing you did here.

May be different implementation, different code but the same functionality. It's like inventing new alphabet, yes you can but why. Previous mod work fine and I don't see reason to create new/the same mod. No offense.

2 reasons:

1. Different implementation, it means although it might serve the same purpose, it isn't the same, it has different functionality.
2. He already stated that this is just 1 component of a larger mod he's working on.

Both deserve to exist, it's up to the player to decide which to download and use.

i agree with bobingabout.

when i started work on my mod, i didn't know another mod had a "grinder", for example in industrio.
They may be the similar, but mine serves a different purpose.

at the same time, This mod here may be the same purpose, But its a different implementation. And from the looks of it, its a child of a mod he is currently working on. Meaning its going to have more features in the future.

i stoped the work on this already i think about different stuff

Everything is ok when you can use both mods at once, if one mod excludes enother it is not good. Nevermind. The more mods the better.

3. Competition.

Having somewhat similar things in their mods mean modders have a reason to try to improve their things to make players want to use their stuff. It also means there are more than one person looking at a problem and generates more ideas on how to solve it.


Only danger with that kind of system is when modders try to make their things more and more overpowered in order to make players want to use their stuff. Sadly that's what has happened to the tech mods in Minecraft and now I refuse to play with anything but Gregtech.

i always try to be balanced becouse i use my own mod too and i dont like to be godlike, my acctual project is 'electric fence'

I like it, the graphics are a lot more consistent with the base game than the other mod that was linked here.
Any chance for a download link?

i will upload it again

Thanks!

I personally try to make things relatively ballanced. I often find that some things have a way too expensive recipe, such as things in Dytech that need the high end gems, those high end gems themselves have a way too expensive recipe. on the other hand, you don't want things to be too cheap either.

Another good point.

This is probably the biggest reason why I'd choose this one over the other, the graphics look consistant with the base game.

One of the things I've been trying to do on my own mods is make the graphics look unique, but in the same style of the original game. This is relatively easy for Icons, but when it comes to making entirely new entities like buildings... That is beyond my skill. The best I can do is copy paste jigsaw editing, and recolouring the original graphics.

I even downloaded a peice of software to build my own molecules, just so I Could make icons for my new chemicals that matched those already in the game (Petrolium Gas, and Sulfuric Acid). I actually found the author of the icons that were used for the base game on wikipedia, and from his wikipedia page, found a few that I could use, but most of the ones I wanted were missing from his library, hence downloading the software he used to draw my own.

the icons was realy easy to make, the barrels and drips was already exist i had just to copy paste and scale i think about to keep working on this mod, electric fence are realy hard, but i think about to work on rocket/shootgun/flame trowher turrets and laser rifle.

one next idea is - energy transmitting tower, dont know if its balanced or not the big pole have a range=30 i think about a range = 100 maybe

I think Range 100 is too far, unless you increase the size of the entity significantly, say its a 3 x 3 field like the huge power poles that you usually find right after big power plants.

I for myself would probably still go with the 30 fields long ones because I can branch off every 30 squares and ... it uses resources. My biggest problem is the tremendous amount of resources that I sometimes have and the deep wish that some productions would take more resources and at the same time take longer.

I know this is more related to my playstyle, so this is only a very personal opinion.

Any chance you could update this with sulfuric acid and petrol gas recipes?

EDIT: I did it myself, uploading here for anyone who wants it.
Disclaimer: I'm no good with graphics.

Even I have found a piece of software application to develop my own molecules, I could make icons for my new game.
