Welcome to the Industrial Revolution!

Use factory pieces to build an auto-sorting lair, machines that build and repair items, or saw everything down to dust...

This release version uses Building Menu and the Building Menu Factory Pieces add on to run. In order to build the machines you need to find the 4 magazines from Factory Pieces first:

Factory Life Magazine Volume 1: Go Conveyourself!
Factory Life Magazine Volume 2: CNC & Me!
Factory Life Magazine Volume 3: I SAW it all!
Factory Life Magazine Volume 4: Sorting out your life!

With these mods combined, you can build factory pieces from scratch and use them to activate existing factories or make a new fresh factory of your own.

The launch version has a limited recipe list with the idea for growth, please drop your ideas for recipes on the discord, discussions or in the comments below. https://discord.gg/W5zapqD9JD

Conveyors

These will push items from place to place and in factories these will come pre loaded with items based on the factory type. Added the ability to push items to the vehicles through the conveyor belts. These now add items to multiple containers in a square.

Conveyor Lifters

These will push items from floor to floor. (You will need to read the magazine if you haven't since the update to get the lifters)

Track Lifters

These will take items from place to place up high and will also fill multiple containers in a square. They can filter by item type. Example: They can pull wood planks only or a list of items.

Robotic Claws

These will take items from vehicles and containers. They can sort into a separate direction items based on conditions and move the rest a different direction.

UPM - Universal Production Machines

These will sort items based on display categories and is compatible with Better Sorting. There is also a consolidation mode that will hold back partial items until a full item can be created. During the process it also kicks forward any empty containers with version 1.13

Saws

These can be used to cut logs to planks, planks to sticks, sticks to scrap wood. They can also cut metal sheets to small metal sheets, small metal sheets into scrap metal, and scrap metal into unusable metal. With Authentic Z loaded, you can throw corpses onto the belt and the saws will turn them into tainted meat chunks.

Control terminals

These can be configured to control 3 milling machines at once.

Drum and Tower Hoppers

These are used to hold secondary materials that can be used in automated production.

Milling machines

These can have recipes added into them to repair some basic items as well as create new items. The drum and tower hoppers need to be placed alongside the mill for it to find them as seen in the photos. Mills will show the materials needed for the items to be made. The primary item needed should enter via the conveyors and the secondary materials should be in the hoppers or on the conveyor input.

Saws are terrible at perfect component extraction, so a deconstruction option was added to milling machines.

Example: the baseball factory by default can convert logs into baseball bats, add nails into a drum or tower hopper and switch the recipe to spiked baseball bats and it will create them from baseball bats.

Set direction and power on any of the devices. Right clicking on the objects will bring up basic menus to configure them.

One of my favorite parts is coming home and dropping all my loot on a conveyor, the conveyor brings them through the sorters and dumps the materials by category into the boxes or on more conveyors. For instance, you can put a freezer next to the UPM in sorting mode and set food to be pushed into them. You can also configure the directions for the filters to send multiple categories into the same box with one sorter.

Recipe Add-Ons Now Possible!

This new version in v1.17 now unlocks the hard coding between this mod and the recipes it uses. It also pulls in lists using event triggers (Thank you, Elyon!). In the coming days I will explain how to make the add-on mods to pull outside recipes into this mod.

Add-ons already created by other modders:
Industrial Revolution Craftable Projectiles Add-on
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3364732874
Industrial Revolution Brita Add-on
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3364732562

Will be adding more compatible mods with recipes and options that work in the factories, so far I have these built into this mod:
Authentic Z - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2335368829
Mostly for meat chunks and recipes.
The Workshop - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2680473910
Mostly for production materials.
Ammocraft B41 - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2245813444
An entire factory setup for ammo crafting.
Better Sorting - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2313387159
To get all the sorting categories for UPMs.

This has been tested in multiplayer and can be added to an existing game. Make sure you have the prerequisites!

v1.19 Gifts Update
Added - compatibility for KI5 primary trunks and truck beds, changed the system to pull from a list and added the primary trunks from KI5's vehicles, known limitation only the primary trunk is seen
Added - Xmas gifts that open with items inside, over 2000 different possible outcomes
Added - Items and recipes for tape, paper, wrapping paper, and 8 gifts and presents that only work in the milling machine
Added - Sandbox settings to limit the recipes including the new gifts and still allow admins to spawn the gifts in case they want to

A big thank you to LOGjam for his video detailing some of the starting elements, to Russo for artwork leading into the conveyor overlays, to Burryaga for coding genius, to Elyon for the entire Building Menu integration, and the best test dummy I could ask for, Lazarus. Thank you all!
