About this project

What does Wireworks add?

Wireworks

Wireworks brings Factorio's electric poles to NeoForge. A pole powers every machine inside its supply area without wires or cables from the pole to the machine. Poles can be wired together to form one network that shares its generators' output among every machine it reaches.

Why?

Because I always loved the simplicity of Factorio's power mechanics and I couldn't find any mod to reproduce it exactly.

NeoForge, Minecraft 26.1.2 only. Wireworks is early work, so please report any issues you find on GitHub.

To play Wireworks beside every other FactoryWorks mod, install the FactoryWorks Showcase modpack from CurseForge.

Features

  • Poles in three tiers. Small, medium and large poles, each with its own supply area and wire reach, plus a creative pole that generates without limit, for trying a machine without a power chain.
  • Power by area. Every Forge Energy machine inside a pole's supply area is powered, whichever way it faces.
  • Wire a network. A placed pole wires itself to up to five nearby poles. To add or cut a wire by hand, click one pole with a copper ingot, then another within wire reach. A network shares every generator's output, and charges and draws on its accumulators.
  • Place a line of poles. Poles place, extend and preview through Groundworks, which Wireworks bundles inside its jar.
  • See the network. With Jade installed, looking at a pole shows its network.

For pack developers

Each tier's supply area and wire reach are set in wireworks-server.toml, with Factorio's numbers as defaults. Which blocks generate, store and wire is data: tag generators wireworks:generators, accumulators wireworks:accumulators, and wiring items wireworks:wire_tools.

For mod developers

Wireworks is also a library, carved out of the FactoryWorks pack. A multiblock names its anchor through EnergyOwner or EnergyOwnerBlock, and PoleColumnReplace.BUILDER swaps a pole column for another tier through Groundworks' Fast Replace, keeping its wires.

Dependencies

Groundworks is required and a separate download.

This is a hobby project: I’m not monetizing any part of FactoryWorks. I’m building it for fun, to see how far I can take it.
