| t4 | Hopper blocks instead of fixed-size hoppers | Review | 2026-10-24 | 2026-10-24T20:55:54Z |

1 | (agent) Built. Grinder ($60) and Saw ($90) are 1-block pieces in the Machines tab. Grains resting on top are worked and the result drops out underneath, so a row of them between two walls is a hopper of any width, and each block adds speed (two Grinders = one old Refiner, one Saw = one old Stone cutter). A Saw stacked on a Grinder cuts the stone and grinds everything else. If the space underneath fills up the block stops; hover it to see why. The Refiner and Stone cutter are gone from the menu; ones already built keep working. Please try a wide grinder hopper fed with the nozzle, a Saw on a Grinder, and an old save that has a Refiner. Follow-ups: the old Refiner and Stone cutter code is removed (a save that still has one loads and refunds it). Grinders now look like a pair of grinding wheels and Saws like a round blade. The Saw also cuts wood chunks into Planks, and its stone output is now called a Stone block. Clay bricks moved to their own task, t28 (Brick press). |
Context
- instead of buildings like the refiner which have a fixed size hopper, just make a block the same size as a wall tile that looks like grinding wheels where the user can place multiple side by side to create a wide hopper. the same thing should be done for the other buildings like that.
Subtasks
- Grinder block (does what the Refiner does) and Saw block (Stone cutter), 1 block each; side by side they make a wider, faster hopper
- Refiner and Stone cutter leave the build menu; built ones in old saves keep working
- Remove the Refiner and Stone cutter code; an old save that still has one loads with the machine taken out and its cost refunded
- Grinders look like two grinding wheels and Saws like a round blade, turning while they work
- The Saw also cuts wood chunks into Planks, which build wood walls and sell
- Rename the Saw's "Stone brick" to "Stone block", so only fired clay is called a brick
- The Saw's description and "stopped" hover say to put a belt or an open drop under it
