Open Computers Infusion and Blood Altar Output Retrieval Script

[ripe axle]

If you can't be asked to build a 2nd infusion setup to automate infusion recipes, but can be asked to make some OC components this script is for you!

This script is used to automatically remove items after an infusion has been completed, It doesn't automate the placement of items or the start of the ritual. If you want a guide on automatic infusion, i posted the breakdown of my infusion setup on the wiki: https://gtnh.miraheze.org/wiki/Infusion_Automation

What you need

• 1 Computer case (tier doesn't matter)
• 1 Disk drive (not needed if using a tier 3 case)
• 1 Screen (tier doesn't matter)
• 1 cpu + 1 gpu or 1 apu (tier doesn't matter)
• 1 Memory stick (tier doesn't matter but if you use 1 tier 1 stick, there are separate install instructions)
• 1 Hard disk (tier doesn't matter)
• 1 Keyboard
• 1 OpenOS (Operating System) floppy
• 1 EEPROM (Lua Bios)
• 1 Transposer
• 1 ME Interface Block (small plane interface won't work)

How to build the setup

1. Put the transposer next to the middle pedestal or the altar
2. Put a full block interface on the transposer
3. Put the computer case next to the transposer
4. Make sure you have a way to power the computer (an ae cable can do that)
5. Insert the hard drive, memory stick, cpu and gpu or apu, EEPROM (Lua Bios), and the Open OS floppy into the case
6. Put the screen next to the computer case
7. Put the keyboard on the screen like in the picture
8. Boot up the computer
9. Run install
10. Reboot
11. Remove the open os floppy you don't need it anymore

How to install the script

1. Type touch infusion.lua and press enter
2. Type edit infusion.lua and press enter
3. Open the text file attached to this post and copy the entire contents of it
4. Use Middle-Click to paste the text into the open os terminal
5. Do Ctrl+S
6. Do Ctrl+W
7. Type infusion.lua to start the script
8. Profit

How to install with 1 stick of tier 1 memory

1. Copy the text from #1222007275246456902 message
2. Middle-Click to paste it in the terminal
3. Press Enter
4. Type infusion.lua
5. Profit

If you don't have automated infusion setup yet, i wrote a guide on the wiki about how to set it up https://gtnh.miraheze.org/wiki/Infusion_Automation

repalce the Collecting the outputs section with the setup described in this post

here's a world download with the setup: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1222007275246456902/1442145162615586866/Automated_Infusion_Script.zip?ex=69245dd8&is=69230c58&hm=1a1e21babd4d7e57c71c727eaad3b537736b31e11349eafc2435fc72bf8c2b8c&

[granite abyss]

does it have feature to check if ae system have enough essentia to complete the infusion?

[ripe axle]

the proram is only used to remove items from the pedestal after the infusion, it's not meant to automate the entire process

[tranquil forge]

I've been trying to figure out a way to do this, and no luck so far

the essentia for requesting using thaumic energistics is different than the essentia that gets automatically supplied when you shift click a craft into a pattern is different than the essentia that you look up in NEI

best ive been able to do is before you have a bunch of 64k cards just manually requesting the appropriate essentia you need and then once you have 64k cards just shoving a bunch of any necessary essentia into the system

thuis guy just did a tutorioal about htat lol https://discord.com/channels/181078474394566657/1241972246914924571

[tranquil forge]

oh shit

[knotty wyvern]

[tranquil forge]

so then if it works for the level emitter it should work for autocrafting?

[knotty wyvern]

most likely

[tranquil forge]

lfg

[knotty wyvern]

or at the veri least, level emitter going into that thing

redstone control

that can disconnect an interface

[tranquil forge]

yea would be a bit annoying to level emitter everything but

[knotty wyvern]

so the patterns in it wont be visiable

[sweet crow]

Btw, essentia doesn't want to be level maintained. It works at first then breaks.

It looks like it's possible to make an OC essentia maintainer. I'm going to work on it, but I don't know how long it'll take to finish. I'm probably going to make a tips-and-tricks post for it.

[ripe axle]

ngl i just used a metric ton of essentia level emitters on me export busses with level maintainers to auto-craft the items

it was 💀

but hey, it worked™

[pulsar anchor]

In case anyone wants to hide/place the transposer not directly next to the pedestal. A transvector interface will work with the tile id for the transposer of:
tile.interface

[woven adder]

@ripe axle

you still offer support?

[ripe axle]

just gonna remind that

[teal shore]

ty

[keen elm]

1 Computer case (tier doesn't matter)
So um the tier 1 case doesnt have a floppy slot

[ripe axle]

oh i forgot about that

you can just make one i guess

[keen elm]

so need at least tier 2 case or is there another way to use the floppy?

[ripe axle]

there is a disk drive block

you just slap it next to the case and it will hold the floppy

[keen elm]

hmm nice

ha it's funny, sticks out like that

also computer crashes with 1 tier1 ram

[ripe axle]

that's odd because i did test that

and it worked fine

[earnest silo]

I can't seem to get the interface to retrieve the item after the infusion completes. Script says it's started , transposer is above computer case, interface is above transposer, the computer is correctly reading the transposer as a component. Interface is connected to mainnet and items placed in it are going to storage. Anything obvious I'm missing?

[earnest silo]

For anyone else with a similar issue, the problem was I placed the transposer between two pedestals. It was pulling from the wrong one. You can either change the script slightly to hardcode the side, or just not place the transposer between the pedastels and put it in the front or back of the central pedastel

[ripe axle]

oh yeah if it touches more than one it will have some issues

you only want it to touch a single pedestal and a single interface, there is no way for me to identify which one you want so it just picks the first one it detects

[ripe axle]

it was indeed a bit of a challenge to get the script installed but running it with tier 1 everything is indeed possible. The reason why I didn't have issues is becasuse I manually went into the save folder to drop the lua file when I tested the tier 1 everything install back then. here is the command you can paste into the terminal to install it on an all tier 1, single memory stick computer:

echo "local sides = require('sides') local event = require('event') local transposer = require('component').transposer function isDifferentItem(oldItem, newItem) return newItem.name ~= oldItem.name or newItem.damage ~= oldItem.damage or newItem.tag ~= oldItem.tag end function main() local oldItem = nil local altarSide = findInventory('tile.blockStoneDevice') or findInventory('tile.bloodAltar') or error('failed to find pedestal or blood altar') local interfaceSide = findInventory('tile.appliedenergistics2.BlockInterface') or error('me interface not found') while true do local newItem = transposer.getStackInSlot(altarSide, 1) if newItem ~= nil and oldItem ~= nil and isDifferentItem(oldItem, newItem) then local remaining = newItem.size while remaining > 0 do remaining = remaining - transposer.transferItem(altarSide, interfaceSide, remaining) end newItem = transposer.getStackInSlot(altarSide, 1) end oldItem = newItem coroutine.yield() end end function shouldShutdown(timeout) return event.pull(timeout, 'interrupted') ~= nil end local sidesToTest = { sides.up, sides.down, sides.west, sides.east, sides.north, sides.south } function findInventory(invName) for _,side in ipairs(sidesToTest) do if transposer.getInventoryName(side) == invName then return side end end return nil end print('infusion script started') local t = coroutine.create(function(...) main() end) local success = true while success and not shouldShutdown(0.05) do local err; success, err = coroutine.resume(t, ...) if not success then print(err) break end if coroutine.status(t) == 'dead' then print('infusion script completed succesfully') break end end" > infusion.lua

I was thinking, could this just be completely circumvented by just renaming the problematic infusion inputs?

works the same for slates in blood altar, just rename any slate used as input, and extract slates with conduit or translocator.

[keen elm]

Sure but there is already enough renaming with assline also would need to add to extract filter every time you add a recipe

[worldly geyser]

only need to rename the problematic things which are outputs of infusion and center inputs. adding an item to a storage bus for each infusion craft seems like not a big deal

way less effort than setting up an oc

[ripe axle]

renaming the middle item would technically work, and since you'd be using a micro-net with an import bus on the middle pedestal linked to a filtered storage bus(es) it shouldn't require any additional setup if you are already using priority based item positioning.

the only difference is that my thing can 1 tick remove while the import bus would have a ramp up period as it starts sucking the items

[fresh coral]

Blood altar Arcane slates -> T1 slates seem to be turning into t2 slates before the transposer extracts them, using a luv world accelerator, no speed runes on altar, does the transposer/computer also need to be accelerated(idk if this is even possible)

My crafts constantly get stuck on waiting for t1 slates, I noticed today I had an excess of nearly 400 t2 slates so oc failing to extract quick enough is the only explanation I can think of

Computer has t3 hard disk, t2 apu(I think, I’m not on right now but it’s the one before the purple apu), 2x 3.5 ram, and the eeprom ofc

[ripe axle]

you can WA the computers

might be good to do so if you can fully craft something in the inter-ticks caused by the WA

though becuase of the built in latency to the transposer i'm not sure it would work too well

i've never had issues with it before though which is weird

i used like 2 luv WAs on my altars

don't think i had the computer WAd tho

[fresh coral]

odd, ill try wa the computer next time

[keen elm]

I have had kind of an opposite problem, it pulled the item too fast

Item inside gets pulled out and interface instantly inserts another and the computer detects it as a change and pulls it

[ripe axle]

that's ood because that was something i tested for

more things for me to look into

are yall using the green runes?

i can't remember what i called them

because if you aren't even WA ing shouldn't do much

since it has a world tick time delay between crafts that can't be bypassed by WAs

the green runes reduce that delay

[fresh coral]

rune of quickness? no im not

[worldly geyser]

I've found this can be bypassed by inserting blood into the alter from a tank

[ripe axle]

odd because that shouldn't trigger that logic

[worldly geyser]

yeah its probably a bug

[ripe axle]

the only way to hard reset the counter is to have the player manually interact with the altar

[worldly geyser]

the adding of the fluid somehow trips the condition

should be trivialy easy to reproduce

[keen elm]

It happens when i pull out the orb in the altar while a craft is going and it instantly inserts some slates and those get pulled out by computer

[fresh coral]

this is what im doing

[ripe axle]

huh it does start cycles on fluid insertion

[fresh coral]

well, from tank -> p2p -> altar

[ripe axle]

lmao

not on drain tho

kinda funny i didn't catch that before when i made the rune

[fresh coral]

oh i might be misunderstanding the context, are you guys saying a new cycle starts on fluid insert ONLY with the green rune?

or just in general

[ripe axle]

so if my understanding is correct, you could just pump blood in and out non stop and have it do recipe checks every tick

[ripe axle]

no the recipe check occur every time any amount of fluid is deposited period, it checks it at regular intervals during normal operation but if you pump blood into the altar, that will bypass the delay and just send it regardless of what your altar setup is

[fresh coral]

damn

i thought i was big brain having 2 altars but im just fucking myself over

[ripe axle]

i had one for my orb and one for crafting so eh

[fresh coral]

yeah thats what i have, but my orb altar is also my wos altar, i send blood from orb altar into a tank then send blood from the tank to my crafting altar

[ripe axle]

ah, i just had a WoS for both altars

though by the end of it i just kept the avarice orb on me 24/7 because it would just stop filling up after a certain point for no reason and refuse to send more, and since the crafting WoS was consuming lp, it would end up trying to kill me after a couple hours

[fresh coral]

i can try 2 wos when i move my bm setup to a new area, but i think im pretty much done with bm progression other than t6 altar so atp idk how important it is

[ripe axle]

i thought i was because of int overflow, but even with making sure that wasn't the reason it still tried to murder me so idk

avarice orb is very nice

it's just making the transparent orb that will make you commit sudoku

not if you automate the crafting process tho

also, if you want to ensure your recipe take longer, craft things in batches

the altar can take up to 64 items at the same time when they stack

[fresh coral]

yeah ive set my craft size to 64

i can try it again to see if it happens

[ripe axle]

the issue you are getting is more likely to be caused by some weird delay thing with the OC transposer

but yeah, unless you WA the computer i'm not sure you can actually get around tha tissue

sidenote, using a WA to OC a computer will always be some of the funniest thing there is to me

does make em pretty responsive tho

[fresh coral]

huh it doesnt, i guess its because ive only very recently set the size to 64, since pretty much before i fully upgraded my t5 altar i couldnt sustain enough essence to craft in stacksizes higher than 4

[ripe axle]

you can WA the WoS if you want a stupid amount of blood per sec out of it

i was crafting stacks of t5 slates with it

[fresh coral]

yeah i wa everything, i was struggling with bm progression having 2 altars at the start isnt very smart since both need to be upgraded, but runes are slow and expensive at the start

[ripe axle]

i think i had 2 LUV wa on both the altar and the WoS

yeah the runes are very rough at the start

makes setting up the automation for them very nice

[daring trout]

y

[bronze elbow]

hmm having troubles getting the script to move stuff off the middle pedestal after the infusion is done. transposer is not between 2 pedestals but it doesnt seem to want to move the item to the interface

heres a screen shot. didnt do the sideways pedestals cause im using a group member's altar and trying to automate it. but that shouldnt affect how it retrieves items from the middle one

[ripe axle]

transposer is not between 2 pedestals but it doesnt seem to want to move the item to the interface
that shouldn't matter since it can only touch the middle one.

What's more likely is that your computer ran out of power, consider slapping an me energy cell next to the computer since it can use it store power

if your computer's screen is black and nothing is happening when you type it's a good indicator that it happened

and iirc it's one of the few ways to actually power those computers properly

the energy cell should be directly connected to a powered ae network, it won't just buffer into it, it only pulls from the energy cell

to the best of my knowledge this is everything you should need to getthe process going

here's a quick test world if you want to experiment and figure out something

[ripe axle]

did you end up figuring out the issue you had?

[bronze elbow]

I didnt have time to getting around to testing it this weekend. and our server is only up on weekends so ill let you know next weekend! apologies

or shoot you sent me a test world. hold on

[bronze elbow]

probably a newb question but how do I load up the world?

sorry tried to figure it out myself XD

got it unzipped just unsure of where to put the files/load them up

[ripe axle]

same place you'd find your usual save files

[bronze elbow]

yeah just figured it out right before haha and yeah test world works fine

yeah the only differences are we didnt do the 1 tier 1 memory chip way and we have a circle of pedestals instead of a line. also missing the pulse former. but i dont think its that important?

[ripe axle]

the tier 1 stuff is mostly just to confirm that the system still runs on the lower tier of hardware

what ever tier of items you used shouldn't matter, i've ran it before on tier 1,2 and 3 everything so i don't think that's the issue

so i'm tempted to believe that the computer simply ran out of power or something
