[Mod Idea] Tesseract/Pocket Dimension
Posted: Fri Sep 01, 2017 9:06 pm
I thought it would be cool to have an assembling machine that players could 'go inside' and customize its functionality by creating basically a sub-factory.
For instance, lets say I wanted an assembly machine that took iron plates and crafted cargo wagons (which take iron plates, gear wheels, and steel). I could place this 'tesseract assembler' in my assembly line and then click 'edit' to go into a one-chunk (some size) pocket dimension with nothing in it. In there, I could create a little factory using a steel furnace, two normal assembly machines, and some inserters and conveyor belts to turn the incoming iron plates into steel and gear wheels and finally into train carriages to be returned to the real world.
Anyway, I just thought it would be a neat idea! I might work on something like this once I finish my finite water mod.
