Automation & Defense

Description
Outdated
Sorry guys, I am currently not updating or playing this game anymore. I am simply too busy with work.

Code here for anyone wants to play around. Full permission, do whatever you want. I would appreciate if I can be credited as the original author and that's about it. As long this is not for financial gains, I'm fine with it. Or if it is, please donate to charities. https://github.com/KhoaNguyen0497/AutomationDefense

Automation & Defense

As a big fan of automation, I have decided to make my first tech mod for Terraria. Lots of items are heavily inspired by Create Mod[www.curseforge.com] in Minecraft, you should check it out.

Before I start, I have to say I am not good at creating pixel arts so lots of sprites are modified directly from Foozle[foozlecc.itch.io]. Their arts are free to use and distribute, please give them support if you feel like it.

I do not take donations. If you want to support, donate to any charity of your choice, or any of the creators I mentioned above.

Now let's get into it.

Transportation System
Item Transporter
Transports items around like a pipe system. Can be connected to Funnel for extracting/inserting, and Splitter/Merger.

Item Funnel
Acts as both an extractor and inserter, mode depends on the direction of the connected Transporter. Can only interact with chests.

Filter can be set for extracting mode.

Splitter & Merger
Two items in one. Can split and merge at the same time.

For outgoing direction:
If a filter is set, the item will proritize the directions with matching filter, otherwise it will be split evenly in all directions.

Automation System
Stone Generator
Generates stone blocks indefinitely, outputs to a chest next to it.

Ore Extractor
Extract ores (...by magic) from stone blocks.

Requires: Pickaxe (pickpower decides which ores can be extracted), input chest with stone blocks, output chest to store ores.

Filter can be set so only a specific ore is extracted. Otherwise, all ores are extracted randomly (1% chance per stone block).

Auto Crafter
Craft items periodically.

Requires: an Item for recipe, related crafting stations, input chest with ingredients, output chest to store crafted items.

Items with near water/honey/lava conditions are free to craft. Items that require Demon Altar are not supported (unless you have another mod which adds an item to place altars, but I have not tested)

Wood Harvester
Extracts woods and sends to the Wood Harvester Base at the bottom. Can stack on top of each other to make a looong line.

Wood Harvester Base
Stores woods from Harvesters above it. Sends woods to a chest next to it.

Item Vacuum
Collects items around it and puts them in chests on either side
Radius can be increased/decreased

Defense System
Magic Tower
Automatically pull bullets in chests next to it to shoot at nearby enemies. Moderate speed and low damage.

New recipe added for Musket Ball (requires any iron bars) so most bullets in the game can be automated using Auto Crafter.

Final words
This does NOT work in multiplayer. I just simply don't have enough time to try. If you want to help, leave a comment.

If you find any bug, leave a screenshot or a description (what's in the filter, what's the setup like, which items, etc.) and I will have a look.

If you have any idea for new machines, let me know, and if you also provide the arts for it I'll make it.

The mod is by nature very OP because Terraria doesn't need any automation. With enough grinding, you can probably set up an infinite ore generation and insta kill any boss with lots of towers.

Wellll Theres no reason to be upset about this because we get to play it for free and someone made it for free too. So I'm happy and I have no right to complain. (I never got to try the mod yet, but I saw some complaints and thought about how it's not necessary)

This mod has great potential. If combined with the 'Mindustry' game mode, it may be comparable to the industrial mod of the neighboring game

If anyone is working on this mod, could you add a Item sorter-like machine? The merger/splitter is fine, but i would like something that works similiar to that, but when theres a set output, nothing but the set item will pass, and the other items will go to the next side where there is a conveyor belt... Pls...


Is there a similiar mod to this, thats getting updated? Or was this mod pretty much forgoten?

THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR KORAL. I can't want till someone makes a mod to revive this! Thank you so much for bringing this to Terraria, and we are all the better for it.

Yes, the wood harvester base is broken. This mod is unfortunately broken and no longer being developed.
