BigReactors Gelid Cryotheum Filler [v1.0] - ComputerCraft Forums (archive)

Posted 04 September 2015 - 06:00 PM

Hello everyone!

I've been messing around with ComputerCraft in the last days and wrote some useful programs for my SkyFactory 2 server.
My buddy alway hated to fill his huge reactors with Cryotheum, since this fluid flows downwards once you've placed it and you'll have to place a bucket for every single block you want to fill with the liquid, which gets quite annoying over time.

So I wrote a program that allows your turtle to do that work for you. I first wanted to do that with vanilla bucket, but I soon figured out that that wouldn't work (the turtle would just ignore the bucket and do nothing). So I tested it with Ender Utilities' Ender Bucket and it worked!

Here is, what the program finally does:

- First, the turtle figures out the height of the reactor by its own.
- It starts filling up the reactor by placing a bucket every 2 seconds so that the fluid has time to move down.
- If the bucket is empty, the turtle places a tank (e.g. a drum), refills the Ender Bucket and destroys the tank again.
- After fully filling a 1x1 space the turtle places Reactor Glass.

- The turtle finally stops, when it has fully filled the reactor!

How to use the program:

Spoiler

- Place the turtle on top of the reactor in the left corner (like shown in the picture)

- In slot one you put a fully filled Ender Bucket.
- In slot 16 you put your tank (I suggest to use a bedrockium drum)
- In slot 15 you put Reactor Casing, so that the turtle can compare it to the ground and decide when it has to change the direction.
- In slots 9,10,11,13 and 14 you put Reactor Casing (not all slots have to be filled, but make sure you have at least 16 Glass in slot 14)

-> run the program!

Here is the code! Feel free to edit and improve it, since I am a beginner ;D

bucketCount = 16
height = 0
dir = 1
function refillBucket()
turtle.select(16)
	turtle.placeUp()
	turtle.select(1)
	for i = 1,16 do
	 turtle.placeUp()
	end
	turtle.select(16)
	turtle.digUp()
	bucketCount = 16
  
  
	 turtle.select(8)
	turtle.transferTo(12,1)
	 turtle.select(12)
	turtle.transferTo(16,1)
  
  
	 turtle.select(9)
	turtle.transferTo(10,64)
	 turtle.select(10)
	turtle.transferTo(11,64)
	turtle.select(11)
	turtle.transferTo(13,64)
	turtle.select(13)
	turtle.transferTo(14,64)
end
function placeBucket()
if bucketCount == 0 then
	 refillBucket()
	end
	bucketCount = bucketCount - 1
turtle.select(1)
turtle.placeDown()
	sleep(2)
end
function fforward()
while turtle.forward()==false do
end
end

function right()
turtle.turnRight()
end
function left()
turtle.turnLeft()
end
turtle.select(15)
if turtle.compareDown()==false then
print("Wrong place! Place Turtle in the left corner! Put Reactor Casing in the 15th slot!")
else
fforward()
right()
fforward()
left()
while turtle.detectDown()==false do
turtle.down()
	height = height + 1
end
for i = 1,(height) do
turtle.up()
end
finished = false
while finished==false do

	for i = 1,(height - 1) do
	 placeBucket()
	  
	end
	turtle.select(14)
		turtle.placeDown()
	fforward()
	while turtle.detectDown() do
	 turtle.select(15)
	 if turtle.compareDown() then
		
		 if dir == 1 then
			 right()
				fforward()
				right()
				fforward()
				if turtle.compareDown() then
				 finished = true
				end
				dir = 2
			
			else
			 left()
				fforward()
				left()
				fforward()
				if turtle.compareDown() then
				 finished = true
				end
				dir = 1
			
			end
		else
		fforward()
		end
	end
end
end

I hope I didn't forget anything :D/> I am open to critics and I hope some of you are going to use this program, since it is really helpful in End-Game when you're about to build huge reactors and want them to be very efficient but you are to lacy to fill the reactor with Gelid Cryotheum by yourself :D/>

Have a nice day,
