About this mod

Adds a fresh variety of wired objects: sensors, displays, numeric logic and more!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod was created to add wiring and logic functionality above and beyond that which is available in the vanilla game, by adding a variety of wire-interactive sensors, logic blocks, and actuators.

As of Sparkz 2.0, I am maintaining only minimal explanation on this page. Check out the
official mod repo page for more documentation!

Sparkz comes in two release versions: a standard release which includes (more or less) balanced recipes for Sparkz items, and a creative release which allows any Sparkz or vanilla wiring items to be crafted for 1 pixel from the Wiring Station or a Tabula Rasa.

FEATURES
-Data Wires! Use wire connections to transfer and manipulate numeric data
-Displays: Linked Display and Small Linked Display can be used to display numeric data
-Sensors: Light Sensor, Wind Sensor, Thermometer and Liquid Sensor can either trigger binary wires or send numeric data
-Scanner: Reads information about a nearby entity. Interact to switch between Current HP and Max HP modes (more modes coming)
-Counter: Uses binary signals to increment, decrement, and reset a stored value, which can then be sent to a display
-Comparator: Compare two numeric values with >, <, and == (interact to switch modes)
-Operator: Perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division! (interact to switch modes)
-Memory Cell: Store numeric data. The bottom nodes are for data input and output, the top nodes are used to lock input or output
-Binarizer: A simple passthrough which strips numerical data from a binary signal. This can be useful when connecting devices that use both numeric and binary data (sensors, comparators, counters)
-Traps: Wall-mounted traps that fire bullets, flame, or rockets when powered! (more types coming soon)
-Source Pipes: Used to create water, poison, or lava when powered
-Quick Wall Button: A version of the default Small Wall Button which can be pressed rapidly - useful for incrementing Counters
-Wired Target (experimental): Triggers wires and turns temporarily solid when hit by projectiles
-Improvements to a few of the vanilla wire objects

USAGE
-Sparkz recipes are crafted from the Wiring Station or a Tabula Rasa
-WIP documentation for individual Sparkz objects can be found at http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/sparkz.117/

SUGGESTED MODS (for Creative release only)
Tabula Rasa

INSTALLATION
Place the /sparkz/ folder in your starbound /mods/ folder. That is all.
