Very good simple functions (+ reporting issue)
Thanks for making this mod. It's been working brilliantly on 5.11, Asuna v1.0.7. I'd not upgraded anything as didn't want to risk techpack or petz affected, but just thought would try out the latest Asuna, v1.1.5, and unfortunately gravel sieve won't output anything but gravel or sieved gravel. Briefly tried the 5.12 appimage, but only reverting Asuna to v1.0.7 fixed things.
Good mod except for the gravel sieve
[edit] Now the issue has been fixed, thanks to joe7575. As a suggestion I would say that it might be a good idea to add this solution in the help documentation.
The solution is: change the line:
local PROBABILITY_FACTOR = tonumber(minetest.settings:get("gravelsieve_probability_factor")) or 3
to:
local PROBABILITY_FACTOR = tonumber(minetest.settings:get("gravelsieve_probability_factor")) or 20
[old review] Everything in this mod works good and as expected, but the gravel sieve (says it eleviates mining so much) actuall makes your ore drop rates become about 10-20x more rare and you end up having to mine anyway just to get baseline number of ores.
Other than that everything else works fine.
My favorite technic-style system
I have played minetest for about 3 years now, and truly appreicate how fun automation is with techpack. It's compact and doesn't kill server performance. Highly Recommended.
