I need a multi-block rocket mod.
robthegray
I just got an Idea for a mod that allows players to build their own manned rockets and ICBMs. the mod will have the following block categories: main rocket components (guidance computers, engines, fuel/oxidizer tanks, fuel/power ports, launch signal port, explosive bolt blocks(works like a piston) , stage separation blocks(placed on top of explosive bolts, disintegrate when explosive bolts separate the lower stage from the upper stage),multicolored wires that won't connect to different colored wires and four fit on a block), manned rocket blocks( steering panel, upward facing chair, sloped hatch, air tanks/fan), missile blocks( fusing systems, remote destruct initiator), launch equipment blocks(liquid loader block, power charger block, launch signal transfer block(all three of these connect to the missile/rocket via sending a horizontal version of buildcraft mining pipe to connect with the ports on the rocket/missile), fuel storage tank, oxidizer storage tank, fold-down work platforms (like a trap door), silo door motor), control blocks(computer interface(used to communicate with the guidance/fusing systems on the rocket/missile, connects via power port]), satellite blocks(surveillance satellite, monitor screen)
1. the guidance system should look like the diamond etched computational matrix from
extra utilities
2. when a missile/rocket reaches a certain height (set with computer interface) the guidance system in the lower stage send a redstone signal to the explosive bolts, causing them to push away from the upper stage and send a redstone signal to the stage separation blocks, this starts a built-in timer, after 3 seconds they disintegrate, but not before sending a redstone signal to the engines of their stage (which they are at the bottom of) which fire after 2 seconds.
3. the computer interface not only sets the elevation at which the guidance systems emits a redstone pulse, but also tells the fusing system blocks at what elevation to emit a redstone signal(doesn't emit until second time said elevation is passed)
4. the satellite is a block that looks like a cone but connects in the same manner as stairs, it also sends enlarged maps to the monitor screen.
5.if you're going to make this mod(I don't know how to code so it would be nice if you made it) the satellite stuff and the wires are optional.
6.dropped stages stay in space( just like dimension from galacticraft but with random iron block clusters to simulate space junk)
7.carpenter's blocks need to be able to be used on rockets( the hatch looks like a carpenter's sloped wedge with a wheel on it)
8.ICBM mod explosives need to be compatible of course
9. this mod is for the sole purpose of making bigger rockets( for realism)
10. a video detailing use and features is highly recommended
if you have anything to say about this idea or would like to make the mod, email me at robgray132@gmail.com, or reply
