Building

Run:

builder <schematic file>

The first time you run the program, you must select a wrench. Place a wrench into the chest. Go to the supplies list and double-click the SelectAWrench item. Select the wrench and apply.

If interrupted during building, you can resume by placing the turtle back in the original location and restarting the program.

Wrenches

EnderIO, Thermal Expansion, and Applied Energistics wrenches will work (only wrenches that can spin pistons will work).

To determine if a wrench can be used, right click the side of a piston with the wrench. If the piston rotates, then the wrench can be used. Some wrenches work better than others.

Downloading schematics

Single Player

Simply copy a schematic file into the computer's folder.

Multiplayer

Option 1: Use wget if the schematic is available for download.

Option 2: Transferring via pastebin To create a base64 file from a command line, do:

linux / max:

base64 -w0 NAME.schematic > NAME.schematic.base64

windows (I haven't tried this - but google said this will work):

certutil -encode NAME.schematic tmp.b64 && findstr /v /c:- tmp.b64 > NAME.schematic.base64

Upload the base64 file to pastebin.

To download and convert the base64 file back into a schematic file, do:

base64dl.lua <filename> <url> 

You can download a simple test schematic using:

base64dl.lua chicken.schematic https://pastebin.com/raw/vxpHBUky
