How do I install this?

The Camomese mod allows you to embed mesecon and digiline circuitry into aesthetically pleasing blocks, seamlessly integrating advanced functionality into your builds while minimizing clutter.

Camomese provides you with a way to seamlessly integrate subtle mesecon and digiline circuitry across your existing builds without sacrificing too much on aesthetics.

This mod consists of two groups of new blocks:

  1. Mese Core nodes (searchable as "mesecore") to integrate simple mese-powered circuitry
  2. Digiline Core nodes (searchable as "digicore") to integrate digiline functionality

As implied by the "core" in the name, mesecore and digicore nodes have a mesecon and a digiline wire embedded within the block which allows it to conduct mesecon power or relay digiline signals.

In order to differentiate mesecore and digicore blocks from the surrounding blocks, they each have a tiny spot (the core material) in the middle of each face where the mesecon or digiline material shows through.

Key Benefits 🔗

  • Aesthetic Integration: Hide wires and circuits within visually appealing blocks, blending almost seamlessly with default textures for a clean look.
  • Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of default solid Minetest nodes.
  • Economical: Economical crafting recipes ensures minimal resource usage, spending only one mese crystal fragment to produce 8 mesecore blocks, or one digiline wire to produce 8 digicore blocks.
  • Customization: Perfect for automating builds while maintaining a clean look.

Features 🔗

  • Mese Core: Replaces mesecon wires with visually integrated blocks (e.g., cobblestone, stone).
  • Digiline Core: Adds digiline-compatible blocks for stealthy digital networks.

Frequently Asked Questions 🔗

Why is the code so unoptimized? 🔗

Firstly, this is my first mod on Luanti. Not only am I new to modding on this game, I am also new to the game in general and even newer to Lua, as in the programming language.

Secondly, if there are any shortcomings in the way I have coded it, this is merely because I am in the process of learning (and improving). It will get there. Just have some patience.

Thirdly, the code is constantly being improved wherever needed. So take a look again... is it really unoptimized?

Why not make an API? 🔗

Check again. This mod now has an API.

Which games are supported by this mod? 🔗

I have only tested this on MTG (minetest_game) since that is the only game I currently play using the luanti engine. Technically this should work with any game that supports the mesecons and digilines mods. If it works in other games, it would be nice to know about it in the reviews section.
