Sedrowow Chaos Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 I heard you developers like Minecraft... So i thought: why not adding a redstone like system? it would make some things MAYBE easier. like automated farming, smithing, crafting, etc... it would be as great as minecraft itself! more creativity... Also to mention that i could be a bit different, more realistic, like: battery, lcd displays, and colored leds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Betts Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 But the devolopers don't like easier lol And if they wanted to make a copy on Minecraft, that's what they'd do. Their goal is more for realistic, and at its current stage the game is hardly into the iron age. Arguably it's still in the bronze age, putting electricity well out of reach for now. It may be something they get to in the very distant future, but certainly not anytime soon. They already have other types of automation in their roadmap, but it's all mechanical based, not electrical based. It's also reasonable to assume that if it's a thing in Minecraft, they've thought of it and already decided they will or won't do it. No need to suggest things from Minecraft. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedrowow Chaos Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 You're right. Mechanical is as good as electricity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukihira_S Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I like the mechanical power in VS but I hope that electrical power will be introduced. Rather for automation I hope to be able to use electricity for lighting and material processing. In particular, electricity is necessary to make aluminum out bauxite. PS. Also steam power would be great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when electrical power is brought to the game I hope it won't be as simple as finding "redstone" and using it as is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In VS we already have everything is needed to make electricity. For example, Sulphur can be used to make sulphuric acid which, combined with lead, make accumulators.

TheBrian Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Mechanical and electrical power don't have to be mutually exclusive. Have you ever seen Dr. Stone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwy Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 For the ones who like electricity more than mechanics, I can recommend QPtech Mod. Basic stuff is in there, but not to overloaded with unnecessary gimmicks. Great mod but kind of unbalanced compared with mechanics. Makes the game a little less challenging, but is fun to play with.
