So junk jacks electronics
I haven't messed with junk jack's yet. But I used them a ton in minecraft + with mods like industrial craft + buildcraft you could automate so much (Or an older version + better with wolves).

Looking over I saw pistons, item despenser. But I didn't see key names like auto crafting table, item collector/hopper, pumps, filter, item pipe (Or some item moving means).

Computercraft minecraft mod has a programable computer that can be put on bodies or things to control them via user made programs. I saw junkjack has a display and it does seem like you have the gates for a simple computer?


Soo......can you automate anything cool via these electronic parts?

Reading over all the parts ? it doesn't sound like you can make much that would be useful.

Edit I tried it.

Putting an item on a dispenser doesn't put that item inside it. Putting a dispenser next to a furnace doesn't insert the item into the furnace or chest. Putting an acid bucket in the dispenser just throws out an acid bucket (Instead of creating a source block in front of the dispenser and removing it on the second switch). Activating a piston on a liquid doesn't stop the liquid when I tried it and items don't float or move down the moving liquid horizontally. The piston couldn't cause any damage to me via crushing. Rather than pushing a crops drops, it breaks the crop, thus its not great for always producing crops. Though it can work as a tree chopper.

Guess you could mob tower with them via acid shrug. But without item collection you'll have to collect all the drops yourself. And no item sorting system you could create is a bummer.


Retractable block I don't see the point? The piston just breaks it.

I've found very few uses in Junk Jack's electronics. I've mainly used it for auto farming crops and trees

You can put a piston in the background and that ones able to block liquids? Well that opens up some possibilities.

I was thinking yesterday a mob tower on cyro might be worthwhile for a regular supply of black demon leather. Though a mob tower that produces weapons could be quite useful as umbra eats weapons super fast with its constant hostile mobs.


Its a shame that you don't have crops that are two tall, but if you smash the top, the bottom is unaffected. Similar to better than wolves hemp. Then the top regows.

Though atm I'm trying to make endless/bottomless chests

Left on terra, right on sand in set. Just need center.
