Adding/removing books from a myst book receptacle.

[Juanitierno]

Heya!

ive been trying this idea i have, that includes being able to switch on and off myst portals on demand, but so far i have not been able to automate removal/insertion of linking books into myst receptables.

ive tried BC pipes, extrautilities pipes, and turtles.

Any idea what could be done to automate this?

Thanks!

Depends on the version you're using.
The version in DW20 pack is kind of bugged. There you can only pull items from the Receptacle with Factorization Routers.
You can put them in with turtles, but they can't pull from it.

a stupid question, but have you tried watching the videos of Direwolf20?
he's made a system several times which automates the process of using mystcraft books. his first version of this system might work for you.
also, next time when posting a topic like this, do not forget to mention which modpack, and which version you're using.
that way we can help you better.

Yeah, I follow direwolf, but I remember him doing something with BC pipes that did not work in my pack, but he has never used unleashed 1.1.4 so i thought it may have been changed.

I did search on google and the forums, but most info i found dated back from when they where being automated with redpower, so pretty old...

i did (couple minutes ago) find a post on the router thing, the thing is i want to keep it as simple as possible, and making the routers and the router upgrades is a bit too much (i want to show some1 not very experienced how to do this, was expecting to be able to use turtles or BC)

Thanks for the answers!

I broke my world experimenting with this LOL.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.xcompwiz.mystcraft.tileentity.TileEntityBookReceptacle cannot be cast to buildcraft.transport.TileGenericPipe
ill see if i can recover it!

In 1.5.2 you can only use Turtles + Router as far as I know.

MCEdit remove all book receptacles from the world?

Thank you, but i just disabled mystcraft, restarted the server, and then enabled it again.

I lost many pages, and had to cheat in descriptive books to my ages, but the rest is ok now

Theres a setting in forge.cfg that will delete any erroring tileEntities when set to true (Also a similar setting for Entities). Less damaging than ripping a whole mod out

Thats awesome, i didnt know that! Ill keep it in mind for the next time i break my world (happens more often than i like to admit heh)

I caused my particular problem by breaking a receptacle and trying to place a wooden pipe in the same spot.

I hate the way minecraft works in regards to that kind of stuff!

Thanks for this info. I think I have a similar issue with a tileEntity causing the server to crash after a reboot. This might save the day instead of disabling mods or losing progress by falling back on a backup.
