[INACTIVE][MECH] DwarfForge v1.7 - Run Furnaces on Lava [1185]

Ah ok, that's a little confusing. Why not have it in survival mode then just put your admins in creative mode? Sorry, just confusing as you've said it's in creative mode, but your second post makes it seem like it's not. Was only asking out of curiosity anyway, doesn't really matter to me haha.

 

It's possible I broke something during the last significant rewrite (1.5). I'll look into it when I can.

 

Thank you very much for this, lets me feel very pro, when i farm stone.

 

After messing with it some more, it might be just the visual side, to turn them back on, i have to hit them twice to turn off and then back on, going to try some smelting today, but we will see if other players cry about me restart, might have to wait till later

 

Wow, I've actually noticed that myself, but I just thought I was going a little crazy haha.

 

is lava neccesary ? because when i make an input chest on the left, furnace in the middle, and the output chest on the right it dont starts when i punch it. of course there is coal and some ore in the left chest, do i need to place lava beneath the chest to make it work ?

 

Yes, lava is always required.

 

hahaha that's alright, hope this fire wont run out always
one last curiosity question: Until how many furnaces high and wide can one small hole with lava in it can it use?

You don't need the coal, nothing's gonna come out of it when smelted. Coal is a fuel for the furnace. That's it.

Configurable in the DwarfForge/config.yml file.

 

@mattmoss
I like the new 1-at-a-time system for resources, but the same could be used for fuel. If you have 9 furnaces.. getting 9 stacks of coal just to start em isnt fun.. and splitting the stacks is also extra work that could be avoided.

 

It's already almost done.

 

Im eagerly awaiting it

No errors come up regarding it.

 

There seems to be a problem
1.furnace is running with stuff in input chest
2.things get put into output chest
3.input chest goes empty
4.more cobblestone is put in input chest
5.nothing happens

 

It may be the auto-off feature. Just punch the furnace to turn it back on.

 

I'm pretty sure I know the issue. Will look into it when I can.

 

After updating to the latest RB (1240) this issue is no longer there so I'd guess it was a Bukkit issue.

 

The problem with that is that in my world we have walls of furnaces running on this feature, and punching around 50 furnaces doesn't really work

 

@mattmoss - thanks for this great plugin! It makes mass smelting so much faster.

I have one problem though. Can you make the chests pull in fuel one at a time just like they do with raw materials? I have a large array of furnaces, but I can only activate a few automatically because each furnace pulls in a full stack of 64 fuel. Thanks!

 

It's in progress.

 

Is there an update coming? I am running 1240 and it's not working.

 

hey, just a suggestion, can you please add some sort of limit so that each forge only pulls one coal at a time? at the moment this is really annoying as i have to manually insert fuel for each furnace before punching them on one at a time.

 

Working fine for us on 1240. Do you have an error log?

 

It wasn't working, but now it is. No idea why and never any error in console.

 

Version 1.7 released with better fuel loading.

 

Is it possible to add an option in the config file to make furnaces run without lava beneath it but with fuel required e.g. coal...

 

There is an option to require fuel.
Lava will always be required.

 

Very much love your plugin, I just have one problem. We are using this for a donator perk on our server. Basically we lock all the furnaces but leave the chests unlocked and only donators+ can use that area. If your still on the same page is when the furnaces are done, they have to be turned off before you put items in the chest than returned on. Is there a way for them to continue to cook as soon as you put something in the chest?

 

It's on the todo list to fix.

 

Alright cool, is there an ETA when it will be out?
