Tardis Engine
This information applies to an upcoming version of the mod. The feature is a Work In Progress.
The 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
Usage
- Place down the Tardis Engine in the Tardis dimension.
- 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.
- Each option can be accessed through a particular panel on the side of the block
- Red - Artron Banks
- Yellow - Charging Panel
- Green - Upgrades
- Blue - Components
Components Panel
This panel is used to allow the user to insert and remove Tardis Sub-systems (AKA components). By default, this container will not contain anything.
Upgrades Panel
Tardis Upgrade Circuits (Work in Progress) can be placed in this panel to increase the variety and magnitude of existing Tardis functions.
Artron Banks Panel
The Tardis Artron Banks panel allows one to upgrade the Tardis' total energy buffer. Artron Upgrade items (to be implemented) can be placed here to add various upgrades to the Artron banks. Not all upgrades are purely beneficial, for some items also have negative side effects.
Hence it's important for the player to understand and decide on what they are willing to sacrifice to gain something.
Charging Panel
This allows any item that allows recharging with Artron Energy to be recharged if placed in this container.
