Tardis Engine

block-tardis_engine.pngThe Tardis Engine is a block that allows one to maintain, upgrade and monitor their Tardis' performance.

Acquisition

The Tardis Engine block can be obtained by using the ARS GUI.

Properties

The block can only be functional if placed in the Tardis interior dimension.

When broken, all items inside the Tardis Engine will be saved to the world and won't be deleted or dropped. 

This means the Tardis engine can be placed anywhere in the Tardis interior dimension without needing to be concerned about item or data loss.

Uses

  • Adding in Tardis sub systems (Components)
  • Adding Tardis upgrades
  • Monitoring and upgrading Artron Capacity
  • Charging items with Artron Energy
  • Attuning items

Usage

  1. Place down the Tardis Engine in the Tardis dimension.
  2. You now have four choices - add more Tardis subsystems, add general upgrades to your Tardis, upgrade your Tardis Artron Banks or Charge items with Artron Energy.
  3. Each option can be accessed through a particular panel on the side of the block
    1. Red - Artron Banks
    2. Yellow - Charging/Attunement Panel
    3. Green - Upgrades
    4. Blue -  Components

Installation Minigame

When installing any item into the Tardis Engine, a short wire connection minigame will be shown as below.

The minigame requires the user to connect a coloured node on the left side of the interface to its corresponding node on the right hand side. This is done by clicking on the left hand node, than dragging the mouse to the right hand node. To connect the desired two nodes together, click the right hand node.

All nodes must be connected correctly. If any node is incorrectly attached, the minigame will be considered as "failed" and will close itself. When the minigame is finished incorrectly, the component will not be installed, item will be dropped on the ground, and the player will receive "electrocution" damage.
