Machine Control Panel
Do you have many artisan machine related mods with overlapping machine rules? Or a number of different machines in the same automate group that is sending items into the wrong machine? This mod adds way to control which machine rules are active and what items are allowed in the machine.
Interface
To open the machine control panel, press Q (rebindable) when close to a machine.
You can also open a machine selection menu with LeftCtrl+Q (rebindable).
Rules
This page displays machine rules on a particular artisan machine, ordered from top to bottom, left to right.
A machine rule is disabled by unchecking the box, and then pressing the save button. Rules are applied before the machine starts processing, disabling a rule or input will not interrupt any ongoing processes.
Additional items required for a machine (i.e. fuel) are displayed with a "bolt" icon.
What are Machine Rules?
Artisan machines, as of 1.6, operate on a priority list of rules dictating the outputs of a machine. The most common category of rules are those which trigger when player places an item into the machine. Each item is checked against rule from first to last, and the first matching rule accepts the input item and determine what the output item will be.
Some rules take a number of different items, based on conditions or context tags. These are displayed as semi-transparent item with a "note" icon. The tooltip provides more info about their conditions. Some rules have hard to determine output items, in those cases a question mark icon is displayed instead. Question mark icon is also the placeholder for when a rule has no input item.
Besides the item based rules, this mod also let you turn off rules that produce without need for input, such as Coffee Maker. Disabling this type of rule may cause placed machines to not work even after enabling the rule again, until the machine in question is removed and placed again.
Turning off a rule with this mod does not always prevent the machine from accepting an input. If another rule further down the list that is normally unreachable can accept the item, it's possible to get items not obtainable otherwise, such as Hops Juice from a keg instead of Pale Ale. This can be useful in case where multiple mods added rules to the same machine, and you want output from a particular mod. For case where you want to completely prevent a machine from taking a particular item, use the inputs tab instead.
Crab Pots and Tappers seem like machines and get treated as such by automation mods, but they are not supported by this mod. In a similar vein, C# mods that add bespoke machine like logic outside of Data/Machines are also not supported.
Inputs
This page displays all items that can be put into a particular artisan machine.
An input item is disabled by clicking on the item such that it becomes blacked out, and then pressing the save button.
You can also prevent certain quality items from being used with the 4 quality icons at the top.
Interaction between Rules and Inputs
Should the current rules settings completely prevent an input from being placed into a machine, it will be shown as semi-transparent on the input page and become uncheckable until the relevant rules are enabled again.
For example, if the first bone items rule on the bone mill is disabled, all bone items except for bone fragments will become semi-transparent on the input page.
Compatibility
Multiplayer
Only the host player is allowed to change machine rules, but everyone can open the control panel to view current settings.
Configuration
Save Data
Machine settings are recorded per farm in the save data, like vanilla save data this is written to the save file at end of the day and lost if you exit the game midday.
In the machine selections menu, an opaque background indicates that machine has settings.
