Tinkers' Mechworks

Mechanical power ho!

Tinkers' Mechworks is an expansion to Tinkers' Construct. The primary goal is to add general technology-related systems that fit in an environment where everything can and will interact with everything else.

There are three main parts to the mod: Redstonesque blocks, Wiring, and Mechanical systems.

Redstonesque blocks

General purpose blocks designed to alter the world in interesting ways. Anything from a firestarter to a block that places other blocks fits here.

– Igniter, sets things on fire

– Drawbridge, places and retracts blocks

– Filter, only lets certain items or entities pass through

Wiring

Blocks that attach wirelessly to transceivers with the sole purpose of carrying redstone signal. They run up walls, they attach to each other, and they connect in every possible way!

– Transfer bus, carries signal between endpoints

– Terminal, accepts and emits redstone power across buses.

Mechanical Systems

Mechanical systems are an interlinked series of machines (blocks) designed to do specific tasks. Generally, a producer is attached to an axle or gearbox, Torque Constants are sent down the line, and a consumer uses the work to do things. The end result is anything from a mill/crusher to a rotating piston with a drill head.
