Since I couldn't find it, here's a bare minimum guide to starting using the Pipeworks mod.
This recipe builds a trivial item sorter.
Mods you need:
- Pipeworks
- Mesecon
- I3 Inventory (optional, strongly recommend)
Resources you need (if building this in survival):
- 24 wood planks for 4 chests
- a lot of leaves (for plastic for tubes and for the injector)
- a lot of mese Crystals (for the injector and the sorting tube segment and the blinky plant)
- 3 saplings (for the blinky plant)
- 2 iron for the injector
To build the parts - look up the part recipes in I3 Inventory, or the MineTest wiki.
The Build:
In this order, place, on flat ground, in a straight line:
- A chest
- A stack wise filter injector
- A pneumatic tube segment
- A sorting pneumatic tube segment
- A final chest
Now place the last two chests on the ground on either side of the 'sorting pneumatic tube segment'.
Now place a 'blinky plant' beside the 'stackwise filter injector', to get it running. Yes, it must be a blinky plant.
Now throw some crap in the first chest and watch it get moved randomly to the other 3 chests.
Now, grab an item you want sorted, say 'dirt block'. Left click on the 'sorting pneumatic tube segment'. Put the dirt block next to one of the colors. Put more dirt blocks into the first chest.
Watch the dirt blocks follow the color you chose.
Repeat with more item types.
Now your inventory is sorted, kind of.
Finally, add additional chests and sorting tube segments, as needed, to suit your personal play style.
Edit: Of course now I found a decent wiki page that has more detail, so I put that in the URL.
That's totally fair, and I'll keep it in mind.
I hope my habit makes your life a little easier by normalizing they/them (or just avoiding gendered terms) as an un-interesting default.
I hope for a world where they/them becomes accepted as "I'm not trusted enough by this person to be told their pronouns yet, and that's okay."
I think asking people to identify their gender, early in a (non-intimate) relationship, is a particularly unhealthy cultural habit. I hope I'm helping push back on that, a bit.
In the meantime, I'm trying to learn speech habits that don't force you to gender yourself, or to be noticed in not doing so. I hope to help make these kinds of situations easier for you.
You shouldn't have to decide at a random moment whether to share your gender identity with me. I'm committed to keep trying to learn communication patterns that make it natural for you not to have to.
