Mechanics & Automation

Redstone Automation

The Redstone Signaller is the key to automation. In its GUI, you can create "Statements."

Example Setup: 1. Link a Data Card to a Steam Boiler. 2. Place the card in a Monitoring Station. 3. Connect a Redstone Signaller to the station. 4. Configure the Signaller: If Fluid < 1000mB, Output Signal: ON. 5. Connect the Signaller to a pump to automatically refill the boiler.

Entity Monitoring

By using an Entity Card, you can display the health and status of mobs or players. This is particularly useful for: * Monitoring the health of a Wither or Ender Dragon during a fight. * Tracking player inventories in a multiplayer base. * Identifying hostile mobs in a dark room or mob farm.
