  I Love it!

  I always wanted inventory bags for MineClone... Now it's here.

  I can't wait to see more on this mod.

  It's virtual paint, within Minetest

  I can see quite a few uses for this mod, from making a black board with some educational question or equation on it, to using it to make a cool billboard for some kind of advertisement. (Ever wanted to depict some kind of pixel art from within Minetest, well with this you can)

  Though I also see it quite easily being abused as well, used as litteral graffiti.

  Some ideas for __future__ versions:

  • Option to change how big you paint by (right now it's 1 pixel in size, but 2 and 3 pixel sizes might be nicer, especially for cleaning up with the anti graffiti spray can)

  • Some kind of way to limit players so they can't paint everywhere (Right now I think the mod allows you to paint ontop of every block regardless of it being protected or not, a simple solution is to only allow painting in areas you have access too)

  • Even with the creative priviledge a player still consumes paint in spray cans (Most mods check if the player has server or creative priviledges in which case they don't reduce durability, this mod doesn't have that check it consumes durability regardless)

  Great mod, and a code suggestion

  First off, I like that it reduces brightness the further away it goes (like real life!)

  Second, I'd like to see it gain the ability to toggle the flashlight on/off by right click too!

  -- Line 141 to line 165 Rewritten
  -- A: Make the function that swiches back and forth into a local function
  local function flashlight_toggle(stack)
          if stack:get_name() == "goodtorch:flashlight_off" then
                  minetest.sound_play("goodtorch_on")
                  stack:set_name("goodtorch:flashlight_on")
          else
                  minetest.sound_play("goodtorch_off")
                  stack:set_name("goodtorch:flashlight_off")
          end
          return stack
  end
  
  -- B: Update the register functions to use on_use (left click/punch) and on_secondary_use (right click/place)
  minetest.register_craftitem("goodtorch:flashlight_off", {
          description = "Flashlight (off)",
          inventory_image = "goodtorch_flashlight_off.png",
          on_use = flashlight_toggle,
          on_secondary_use = flashlight_toggle,
          groups = {
                  flash_light = 1,
          },
  })
  
  minetest.register_craftitem("goodtorch:flashlight_on", {
          description = "Flashlight (on)",
          inventory_image = "goodtorch_flashlight_on.png",
          on_use = flashlight_toggle,
          on_secondary_use = flashlight_toggle,
          groups = {
                  flash_light = 1,
          },
  })
  
  -- C: Profit! :)

  Great mod but some things are missing

  First off, great mod. I personally like the concept. (It's simple, and works)

  Point 1: Admin shops

  It would be nice to build a small section of the server to contain unlimited purchases of items and emeralds. (e.g. 32 pieces of wood for 1 emerald, and the admin of the server doesn't need to keep empting the shop and keep his/her emerald account full, or even 1 diamond for 4 emeralds, and again the admin doesn't need to keep restocking it with diamonds)

  Point 2: Upgrade shops to sell/buy more items in 1 block/node

  This is actually my greatest annoyance. I need to use many shop nodes to buy/sell many items. (e.g. I'd need a shop for each of the different wood types, that's 4 nodes being taken up by shops just to buy or sell the different wood)

  I personally think upto 2-4 items being sold/bought per shop node would be more practically and reasonable. (Almost all the other shop like mods I've come accross sell/buy 4 items per shop node)

  Point 3: No easy way to contribute

  Due to the fact that this software has been label'd "libre software" (free software), does this means we don't have a public place to contribute code segments? (e.g. I know lua, know minetest's api, I'm willing to help on occasions, but there isn't a public place where the code is, so I can't help)

  This point isn't quite as big of a deal as the others, but it's important enough to discuss how someone (not necessarily me) could contriubute.

  Best airplane by far

  I like the super cub, super duck. (I prefer the super duck so the sea/oceans become my run way)

  While I am a big fan of the helicopter. (Simply because it's simple to fly, but the airplanes are faster as they should)

  I love how the Ju52 properly responds slower than that of the super cub or super duck. (As it should)

  While I seem to be ok flight wise (till I crash into a mountain that I didn't quite see coming at me), the landing seems to be the hardest.

  The airutils tug is a must have for airplanes (ju52, super cub, and super duck), great for turning them around while they are on the run way.

  Great concept and well balanced

  I like the fact while you can grow resources it doesn't mean you will mass produce stuff (without making a big farm first).

  Except for a few recipes that are broken. (Obsidian, one of the water essence is miss spelled)

  I really like the fact it supports technic and moreores.

  Awesome textures & Fully automatic weaponry

  I really do enjoy the textures, and I've tried it out on his server and wow, even supports fully automatic.

  I would suggest possibly adding a sight/scope for the sniper rifles though, but that's about the only downside I can think of.

  Has potential

  Looks like a good remake of Mindustry.

  Just wish the author could continue development after the gamejam or at least get some help to further develop a cool game.

  Simple and plain

  After a few seconds of gameplay, I now know how to play it. Which causes a problem which is quite apparent (now what do I do next, after placing dozens of homes shops offices etc.)

  Has potential

  After playing it a few times I can see where it can become quite overwhelming.

  While there isn't any tutorial one could after some time figure out that while the reactor isn't overloaded increase your drills speed so you keep making profit while the game keeps increasing expenses.

  A note on the increasing expenses, it seems to grow at a very rapid pace, so one needs to almost immediately increase coolant production then increase the drill in order to keep up.

  I have found a few issues which might cause critical issues in-game:

  1. When a player enters "sleeping" the player can not exit sleep (Which means things can fail but there is no way to jump out of bed and go fix them)
  2. Mobs seem to almost become never ending, making it quite dangerous to go out just to adjust your drill. (This might be taken as extra challenge)
  3. While "research" might be a good concept for further development in-game, I haven't noticed it doing anything except extra profit. (One in debt could simply stand outside and fight mobs then go "cash" in their goo for extra cash to try and fix their debt)

  Now for the positives or things that could be added in the future:

  1. Provide some unique building concept, allowing a player to build more drills, more coolant systems, more reactors, etc. (I'd be more interested in a space sim where you can get a basic base to start with but then have some kind of method for expanding, I.E. a crafting system perhaps)
  2. Along the current lines, perhaps include some "upgrades" which cost money but provide less occurance of failtures etc. (I.E. I could upgrade the gravity generator so it would be less likely to go down, but I can never upgrade it so it never goes down / Or I could upgrade the reactor so it produces say 200 more power)
  3. Allow multiple players to play on one base, perhaps as a co-op thing. (This way I could be taking care of the major stuff inside while a buddy could be fighting and getting "research" goo)

  Great idea for creative servers

  Allows admins on survival servers to give special loot for their players... like one of these.

  Bout the only issue I have with it is that there isn't a way to keep the fuel going when you move the furnace so only use this at your main base where you won't be moving your furnace around. (Also great for making the furnace always appear on)

  5/5 Stars, An amazing concept so easily done

  I love the fact I can make a storage room in one of these, this keeps my homes small rather than big and bloated because of all the chests that I end up using.

  This mod + pipeworks + drawers = best storage system ever.
