Mod Feedback Flaxbeard's Steam Power suggestion thread

[SatanicSanta]

Alright, as some should know, I am now developing FSP. I don't really... trust the ideas of people in the FSP Minecraft Forum thread, as most of them are "add steampunk animals!" or "make coal drop diamonds!", neither of which I will do.

So, shoot your ideas at me!

Things that have been suggested/things I have come up with:

• Steam powered sleigh
• Bigger multiblock boilers
• Something something 'weaponize steam'
• Make the Steam Heater hurt things when they touch the burny side
• Venting steam through a pipe has some sort of damage
  • Make hot pipes burn to the touch
• Witchery support (note that most of these were suggested by Emoniph)
  • Steam powered Witchery Witches Oven
  • Heat the Witchery Kettle with a Steam Heater
  • Mechanized witch hunter
    • Magic protection against Thaum, Witchery, Blood Magic, and AM2
  • Twisting Band exosuit upgrade
  • Witchery leather/creeper heart exo upgrade makes creepers ignore you
• Floodgate
• Steam endosuit
• Buzzsaw that turns logs to planks to slabs to sticks when they are placed in front of it. Harvests plants. Hurts players in front of it.
• Boiling BM Blood to Steam
• Moar gears! \o/
• Baubles
• Steam powered pistons that damage entities
• Ti C integration
• Steam bullet train
• One-way check valve. Allows steam to flow in one direction only. If the system has a failure, not all steam is lost.
• Sound for the steam boilers
• Cast Iron steam furnace. 3rd tier upgraded boiler. Made of iron. same 2x2x2 construction, but can add more blocks to the back to expand its ability to make steam, but also uses more fuel.
  
• Arm part that links the steam hand tools to the exosuit tank. this would also help justify making the larger tanks.
  
• Ways to transport items/liquids
• Steam dynamo
• Steam-powered assembler; autocrafter
• Open steam pipes damage players
• Geysers
• Soil sterilization to make crops grow faster
• Railway guns like the things from Fallout
• Steam base defense: low damage to unarmored targets, high damage to armored targets
• Steam Butchery, put an animal in a room with a bunch of steam in it, murders animal, outputs more meat
• Steam Engine, giant overhead drive shaft running machines using big leather belts
• Conveyers
  • Inverted conveyer things with robotic arms carrying stacks of items
• Parachute
• Steam powered boat? Not breakable except by the player, and requires steam in its tank to move, but goes at like 2.5-5x the speed of a normal boat. It could have like a paddlewheel on it, too... if you're feeling creative.
• Fire under boiler = small amount of steam
• Processing netherrack a lot to make some sort of super-fuel
• Double barreled pistol
• Tea
• Pith helmets
• Wall-mounted cannons
• Piston elevator
• Toggle exo upgrades
• Emit a level of redstone based on the level of steam.
• Electric boiler (uses power from other mods)
• Tree cutter
• Player mortar

Things that I plan on adding:

• Witchery Exosuit plates, possibly some steam powered Witchery tools
• Geothermal Boiler that creates a very minimal amount of steam when placed deep underground and supplied with water.
• Reimplement Flippers Upgrade
• Calliope

Things that are in-dev currently: Please see the Waffle for a real-time visual status of what is being worked on.
Things that have been delayed:

• Block Placer
• Automatic Fish Spawning Genocide Machine

You can also suggest your ideas in #TheSteamTank and #SatanicSanta on espernet.

Perhaps further cross-mod integration, like an automatic node tapper for TC? (This is just an example, and definitely not a good one)
EDIT: As an exosuit module.

 

[Lumaceon]

Witchery Exosuit plates, possibly some steam powered Witchery tools

Forever defending your title I see.

 

[SatanicSanta]

Perhaps further cross-mod integration

I would like to do this in more ways than just smashed ore and exosuit plates. Exosuit plates are nice, but shouldn't be the only mod integration. I'm not sure what to do apart from it though.

Though I did just get an amazing idea... Santa's Toys + FSP = FSP nether blaster exosuit upgrade... maybe? no? okay...

Of course! I'll have to talk with Emoniph next time I catch him on IRC to figure out what the Koboldite Exosuit Plates should do

One thing that'd be kinda neat would be if you could have a grate which steam could come out of which could steam anything above it but you could also use to launch minecarts. Because more fun ways to move minecarts are always good.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly:
Put steam into a grate, then the steam will push upwards. That steam pushes some stuff up? Isn't that basically what a Fan does?

It might be. I should probably stop posting stuff after midnight...

 

[SynfulChaot]

Enable the Archimedes Screw to function as a floodgate, or create a floodgate equivalent?

hmmm, forum gremlins.[DOUBLEPOST=1411882018][/DOUBLEPOST]don't let them post after midnight.
EDIT=removed the other gremlin thing because weird context.

 

[Wekmor]

So, shoot your ideas at me!

Things that have been suggested/things I have come up with:

• Modular steam tools, like the exosuit

We need a machine to pressurize (is that a word?) the steam and store it in a backpack, so that you can power your tools with that

 

[Omegatron]

Flaxbeard mentioned potentially adding a steam endosuit, would you consider adding that?

 

[RJS]

I'd certainly like to see a way to make plates and brass more quickly than is currently available. I like the current steam tools, but making them upgradable in a similar manner to the exosuit would be pretty awesome.

 

[Celestialphoenix]

A steam powered buzzsaw?

Place a log in front, cut into planks (placing in front works with the WIP block placer- and is more fun to build/design than piping wood in)
Planks cut into 2 slabs
Slabs cut into sticks
Harvest/shear crops/plants ect (leaves/vines/grass drop as items)
Slices up any mob/player caught in the blade. (its not fun if its safe)
​

If you go with the exosuit stuff, then a smaller handheld version would work with the steam tank/backpack.

 

[WayofTime]

Evaporated Blood for steam.

 

[KaosRitual]

Evaporated Blood for steam.

This seems relevant. As a side note, there does not seem to be any videos of actual blood boiling on the internets. I am disappointed.

 

[Skyqula]

When I play with Flaxbeards steam power I always get this "steampunk" kind of feel. What would realy fit well is moving gears. Reinventing the wheel would be time consuming and Resonant Induction already has moving gears. So perhaps a way to convert steam into Resonant Inductions torque & speed?

What might also be interesting is some baubles. Have them provide the same unique effects as the plates for the Exo suit. Perhaps a pocket watch that pops up in the UI instead of taking an inventory slot.

 

[darkeshrine]

I'd love to see some Steam powered pistons that do damage to players and mobs with a decent amount of knockback.

Er mer gahd, we need a way to make coal to diamonds and steampunk animals er mer gahd.

Now, what I actually would like to suggest is some cross mod functionality with Tinkers, not sure if there is or isn't as I haven't played it in awhile.
And how about like a Steam bullet train kinda thing? Basically you create an enclosed tube, linked up with "specialized rails" and an enclosed train/minecart thing(with a semi streamlined look). It would probably also have to be linked to some sort of steam storage every x amount of blocks to continue to power it. I'd also suggest it to be wickedly fast. Like Speed 7-10 kinda range of fast.

Basically just a tube being fired off super fast from the force of steam inside a vacum. Except it would have to be a semi-dangerous thing, as in if you don't make precautions to slow it down, the impact will be.... messy.

Pretty sure we thought of it and vetoed it last night.
EDIT: Talking about TiC integration.
