Steve's Carts 2 Mod — Guide

Mechanics

Cart Assembly

The core of Steve's Carts 2 is the Cart Assembler, a block used to design and build custom minecarts. To create a cart, players place a chosen Hull into the top-left slot of the Assembler's GUI. Modules and components are then added to customize the cart's functionality. The Cart Assembler requires fuel, such as Coal or Charcoal, to process the assembly.

The type of Hull selected dictates the number and kind of modules that can be integrated into the cart, influencing its overall capacity and potential.

Automation

Steve's Carts 2 provides several blocks to facilitate the automation of cart operations:

• Cargo Manager: This block is essential for automated item transfer, capable of collecting items from or loading items into a passing cart.
• Advanced Detector Rail: When a cart passes over this rail, it can be stopped, allowing the Cargo Manager to perform its loading or unloading functions.
• Module Toggler: This block allows for the dynamic enabling or disabling of specific modules on a cart as it passes by, offering flexible control over cart behavior in automated systems.
• Cargo Distributor: An enhancement for the Cargo Manager, it improves interaction with various pipe and tube systems for more efficient item handling.

For advanced automation, the mod can integrate with other technical mods like BuildCraft to manage item flow to and from Cargo Managers.
