Ponderous Automation
Overview
Ponderous Automation is a custom plugin found here on Omniverse Horizons. It enables players to make machines which offer additional functionality to the vanilla hoppers. There are four machines, each with its own recipe and UI. Each machine can level up, offering additional functions; this is done by spending in-game currency obtained from a multitude of sources.
Block Buster
The block buster will break blocks in front of its face and drop them on the ground. Increasing the level makes the machine more efficient, enabling it to break blocks at an accelerated rate.
Recipe:
Block Setter
The block setter will place blocks in front of its face. This can be combined with a breaker to make a breaker/placer combo. Increasing the level makes the machine more efficient, enabling it to place blocks at an accelerated rate.
Recipe
Void Hopper
The void hopper will collect items in a radius around it. The radius is determined by the machine level. It can collect blocks placed on and 2 blocks above its location.
Recipe
Item Transmitter
The item transmitter is an improved version of a hopper. It can teleport items from any distance, provided that both the chunks are loaded. A player will need a minimum of two transmitters to move items around. The transmitters can be linked using the Item Transmitter Wrench. Increasing the level makes the machine more efficient, enabling it to move items at an accelerated rate.
