Thermal Logistics Mod

Thermal Logistics Mod (1.12.2) is the spiritual successor to Logistics Pipes! This mod adds smart crafting to Thermal Dynamics using just two new servos: the requester and the crafter. Requesters are smart the smart version of the retriever from Thermal Dynamics. If they need an item not available in the network, they can request a crafter to make it for them. Crafters are attached to machines that can make an item using inputs. In the crafter, you specify what items go in and what items go out. Crafters can be linked together if a machine outputs on a different side than where it takes its input. The network manager is a tool that can tell you what items are going to a duct. It is also used to link crafters. Crafters can be linked from any distance, even transdimensional. Finally, there is the terminal. The terminal shows what items can be requested from the network and can request those items when provided with a requester. It can also craft items using crafters.

Thermal Logistics Mod (1.12.2) - The Spiritual Successor to Logistics Pipes 1

Features:

Crafter:

If a Requester or Terminal wants an item that is not available in the network, they can enlist the help of a Crafter. Crafters pull inputs from the network into the adjacent inventory and wait for it to craft an output. This output is then sent to the Requester or Terminal. Crafters can also request from each other recursively.

Configuration

The higher the tier of a Crafter is, the more inputs and outputs are available to it, ranging from 2 inputs and 1 output (Basic Crafter) to 12 inputs and 6 outputs (Resonant Crafter). These inputs and outputs are specified by clicking on a slot with an item. The item will not be consumed. A Crafter with inputs will send items to the side it is attached on. A Crafter with outputs expects the attached machine to output at that side.

Crafters have a whole bunch of functionality, so let’s take them one step at a time.

Basic Crafter

Thermal Logistics Mod (1.12.2) - The Spiritual Successor to Logistics Pipes 2

In the Basic Crafter, you will be able to see two buttons: the link button and the enable/disable button. Instead of using Redstone Control, crafters are enabled and disabled with a simple button. This is so you can easily disable and enable all crafters linked to each other at the same time.

If two Crafters are part of the same operation (i.e. they are codependent), the two should be linked. Linking is done by clicking on the link button with your Network Manager. Crafters can be linked to infinite other Crafters. If one Crafter gets a request, all linked Crafters will also be activated. If you need to link a whole bunch of recipes at once, there is also a “bulk linking mode” on the Network Manager that will link the 1st recipe of crafter A to the 1st recipe of crafter B, the 2nd recipe of A to the 2nd recipe of B, etc.

Finally, there are the input and output tabs. These tabs give a peek into the internal memory of the crafter. The input tab tells you what the crafter is requesting and where it expects it to come from, and the output tab tells you what the crafter expects to output. Disabling and re-enabling recipes resets this internal memory, should anything go wrong.

Hardened Crafter

Thermal Logistics Mod (1.12.2) - The Spiritual Successor to Logistics Pipes 3

Starting from the Hardened Crafter, Crafters can contain more than one recipe. These recipes act independently from each other, but they cannot request from each other. You can also see another button at the bottom: whether or not recipes should be processed in series or in parallel. To explain the difference between the two, let’s look at the Induction Smelter from Thermal Expansion and the Crafter from RFTools.

The Induction Smelter can only handle one recipe at a time, so it should not get inputs from multiple recipes sent to it at once, as it might get stuck if you do that. That’s there’s the option to process the recipes in series: it will only process one recipe at a time until that recipe is done, after which it will move on to the next recipe. The current recipe will be highlighted in green.

The Crafter from RFTools is different. It can handle multiple recipes at once, and so you might also want the Crafter to send all inputs from its recipes at once. To do so, set up the Crafter to process the recipes in parallel.

Reinforced Crafter

Thermal Logistics Mod (1.12.2) - The Spiritual Successor to Logistics Pipes 4

Finally, there is sometimes the problem that a Crafter sends too much of one item into a machine, and that there is then no more room left for the other inputs. To remedy this, there is now a new option in the Crafters: max stack size. This works the same way as it does in the Retriever and Requester: it limits the number of items it will send into the machine per item type. For the Basic and Hardened Crafters, this is set to 64.

Recipe

Thermal Logistics Mod (1.12.2) - The Spiritual Successor to Logistics Pipes 5

  • 2 Iron Nuggets
  • 1 Crafting Table
  • 2 Ingots (Iron, Invar, Electrum, Signalum, Enderium)
  • 1 Retriever (Basic, Hardened, Reinforced, Signalum, Resonant)

Crafters can be upgraded in a crafting grid in combination with a higher tier ingot.

Distributor:

The Distributor is the smart version of the Servo from Thermal Dynamics. It extracts items from the inventory it is attached to and attempts to send it somewhere else. Unlike the Servo, the Distributor will not attempt to send items to itself and will prioritise filters. If an item fits in a filter, it tries to send it there first.

Recipe of the Distributor

  • 2 Iron Nuggets
  • 1 Comparator
  • 2 Ingots (Iron, Invar, Electrum, Signalum, Enderium)
  • 1 Servo (Basic, Hardened, Reinforced, Signalum, Resonant)

Distributors can be upgraded in a crafting grid in combination with a higher tier ingot.

Network Manager:

The Network Manager is a tool which has two modes: monitoring and linking. By default, the mode is set to monitoring, but it can be switched using a hotkey (‘V’ by default).

Show Spoiler

Monitoring

When right-clicked on the end of an itemduct, a Network Manager set to Monitoring will tell you which items are travelling to that ending.

Linking

When set to Linking, a Network Manager is capable of linking two Crafters by right-clicking them both. This will signify that these Crafters are part of the same operation: if one Crafter gets a request, both Crafters will supply themselves with the necessary items. For further info about linking, see Crafter.

Recipe

Thermal Logistics Mod (1.12.2) - The Spiritual Successor to Logistics Pipes 7

Recipe of the Network Manager

  • 6 Iron Nuggets
  • 1 Redstone Torch
  • 1 Tool Casing
  • 1 Sulfur

Requester:

The Requester is the smart version of the Retriever from Thermal Dynamics. It extracts items from the network and attempts to insert them into the adjacent inventory. Unlike the Retriever, the Requester will not attempt to extract items from itself. If a Requester can’t find an item in the network, it will attempt to craft it with the help of a Crafter.

Recipe

Thermal Logistics Mod (1.12.2) - The Spiritual Successor to Logistics Pipes 8

Recipe of the Requester

  • 2 Iron Nuggets
  • 1 Comparator
  • 2 Ingots (Iron, Invar, Electrum, Signalum, Enderium)
  • 1 Retriever (Basic, Hardened, Reinforced, Signalum, Resonant)

Requesters can be upgraded in a crafting grid in combination with a higher tier ingot.

Terminal:

The Terminal is a block that can request items from your network. When attached to an itemduct, it can see all items available from that duct. To be able to request items, you need to insert a Requester into the requester slot. If an item is requested, it will travel to the internal inventory of the Terminal. If an item is not available, the Terminal will attempt to craft it using a Crafter.

Crafting Tab

The Terminal has a tab called “Crafting”. Inside you can specify a recipe in the crafting grid using items. The items will not be consumed. If you request the recipe it will request all items you’re still missing. If you want to craft a chest and you already have 2 planks, it will only request 6 more.
Request List

To the right of the Requester slot are the list of items currently being requested. You can cancel these requests if you wish. All ongoing crafting operations will be cancelled.

Recipe

Recipe of the Terminal

  • 1 Network Manager
  • 2 Itemducts
  • 1 Machine Frame (or Iron Block if Thermal Expansion is missing)
  • 2 Copper Gears
  • 1 Redstone Reception Coil
