Emerald Gate

Emerald Gate
Mod	BuildCraft
Type	Item

The Emerald Gate is an item added by BuildCraft. It functions as an interface between all types of pipes and the Docking Station, respectively the docked Robot, via four configurable functions (see Usage). The gate has an AND and OR version plus a Clock Timer, Redstone Fader, Light Sensor and Autarchic design.

Recipe

The player can choose the desired mode (AND or OR) if they have placed all needed resources in the Assembly Table, and the chosen one is produced.

Usage

A Emerald AND Gate interacts with all four types of Pipe Wire to transmit redstone signals. Pipe Wires on different pipe types can be connected via Cobblestone Structure Pipe.

The Emerald Gate can be placed on all types and sides of the BuildCraft pipes with a right-click. By holding the crouch-key and right-clicking the gate can be removed without destroying the pipe.

Note: The basic function is that the gate checks the precondition in the right slots, and, if this precondition is true, executes the option in the left slots. The difference between the AND and the OR version is when it will trigger an action. If the AND version is used, and two or more conditions are set to trigger the same action, the action will only trigger when all preconditions are True. If the OR version is used and two or more preconditions are set to the same action, the action will trigger when at least 1 precondition is True.

Right-clicking on the Gate will open the GUI, which has four rows to configure functions. All slots can be reconfigured by clicking in the slot, or by dragging and dropping items. The possible options depends on the pipe where the gate was mounted:

• All options like the standard Gate (see Gate)
• Options from the Emerald Gates to interact with pipes and robots (see below)
• Furthermore the Emerald Gate has the ability to interact with all types Pipe Wires to transmit and/or receive redstone signals over the BuildCraft wire system. An example with a Diamond AND Gate is shown in the picture. In the GUI the corresponding option can be selected if a pipe wire is connected to the gate (see section Additional options for pipe wire interaction)

Available options

The following options are available for the kinesis, fluid, and transport pipes:

	Possible options for the left slot					Possible options for the right slot
	Precondition		Up to 3 special options			Option		Up to 3 special options
	Icon	Text	Icon	Text	Explanation	Icon	Text	Icon	Text	Explanation
Kinesis, Fluid, Transport Pipes		Robot In Station		none	Set True if the robot is in the connected docking station		Go To Station		Map Location of the station	The robot moves to the specified station
		Robot Sleep		none	Set True if the robot is sleeping in the station (Waiting time until the next update process)		Load/Unload in Area		Map Location of the station	The robot moves to the specified station and loads/unloads (depends on the pipe)
		Station Reserved		none	Set True if the station is reserved by a robot (another robot moves to the station)		Wake Up		none	An update process of all functions is triggered (shortened the update time)
		Station linked		none	Set True if the station is linked by a robot but just not moving to the station		Filter
							Filter Tool
							Work in Area		Map Location of the station	The robot works in the specified area
							Forbid Robot		up to 3 different robots	The specified robot types are forbidden to connect to the station
							Force Robot		up to 3 different robots	The specified robot types are forced to connect by this station
							Request Needed Items		up to 3 different items	The station requests the needed items
							Request Needed Items		none
Transport Pipe							Accept Items		e.g. a Hoe	The robot takes a Hoe (Wooden Transport Pipe needed)
Fluid Pipe							Accept Fluid		e.g. Water	The robot takes Water (Wooden Fluid Pipe needed)
							Provide Fluids		e.g. Water	The station provides e.g. Water via a Wooden Fluid Pipe needed for the robot

Additional options for pipe wire interaction

Following options are additional available for all types (kinesis, fluid, transport) if Pipe Wire is connected to the gate:

					Set to True if a redstone signal is provided to the gate by a red pipe wire and the second option is True		Blue Pipe Signal	Activates a blue pipe wire signal
		Red Pipe Signal Off			Set to True if no redstone signal is provided to the gate by a red pipe wire		Green Pipe Signal	Activates a green pipe wire signal
					Set to True if no redstone signal is provided to the gate by a red pipe wire and the second option is True		Yellow Pipe Signal	Activates a yellow pipe wire signal
		Blue Pipe Signal On			Set to True if a redstone signal is provided to the gate by a blue pipe wire
