3D printing with GPS guided drones!

Similar to the Pythag-1 and Pythag-2 3D printers, the Pythag-Drone-1 and 2 are able to print 3D models using Jerry barriers (walls).

The Pythag-Drone-1 is able to print on a 10x10x10 grid, and has a VERY low failure rate, and noticeably increased speed compared to the gantry style printers.

You make your model on the Large 3D Modeler, set it in the world, set down the Drone Command Station, get out the drone, and press P, and it automatically prints, fully autonomously!

You can now summon a huge, stone castle in a matter of minutes.

3D Printing in Trailmakers; the Pythag-1 and 2 printers!

You can now 3D print in Trailmakers!

This machine has a print volume of 3x5x4 blocks, using the wall dispenser to build structures you design.

The video shows the Pythag-1 printing a simple pyramid structure, taking about 2-3 minutes. It's not fast, but it works well!

The third image shows the 3D Modeler. You use this to make the model you want to print, making a 3x5 image for each layer.

The red and green blocks in the corner of the Modeler are for infill, as the Pythag-2 can actually place blocks upside down - it will detect when two blocks are placed touching each other, and it will backtrack half a space, change to the inverted tool head, and place an upside down one for extra stability, if enabled for that layer.

Everything is backward compatible - both printers can use both versions of the Modeler, though the old printer obviously can't do infill, and the old Modeler can't tell the new printer to do infill.

TL:DR;

3D printing in Trailmakers! You make a model, the printers print it. It takes around 10 seconds per block on average, and the newer version can do infill for better structural support! In a few minutes, you can have an indestructible castle printed!

Mini Gamblecore; the smallest gambling machine in the game!

This tiny gambling machine has ten colors, three slots, and fun sound effects!

You jump in the distance sensor to spin, and it will spin 3 random colors. Two of a kind is a win (\~30%), and 3 of a kind is a jackpot (\~1%)!

This game tracks money, too. You start with $30, and it costs $10 to play. A win gets $30, and a jackpot gets $100.

This is only around 60% actual game logic, so the actual game is even smaller than this finished product!

The DLA3 Logic Computer: Turing complete logic magic!

Though this computer is nearly a year old now, it still holds its own! At around 1 Hz, it isn't very fast, but it's not slow by Trailmakers standards.

This computer is Turing complete, and was one of the first (possibly the first) devices in Trailmakers to utilize wireless data transmission, via the DL-WiFi1 system.

Built on the Nua architecture, this computer boasts:

11-function math/logic unit

16 bytes RAM

6x6 screen with number display

BIOS

21-command processor

DL-WiFi1.0 port (8-bit send/receive)

Device port (6-bit serial send)

~1 Hz asynchronous clock

Data Card reader (up to 255 bytes)

This computer is decimal based, and unofficially is the second best computer in the game, by computational power and competency, as of this post.

One thing a lot of people get confused about is that this isn't a painting computer, or a snake computer, or whatever - it actually runs code that you write.

TL;DR:

This is a fully functional computer that actually runs code. Built on the Nua (Dunvillel Productions proprietary) architecture, it runs at 1Hz and is the second most powerful Turing complete computer in Trailmakers.

Movies in Trailmakers?

This is a full movie making, storing, and viewing pipeline, made entirely in Trailmakers! No glitches, mods, or similar.

First, the animation workstation:

The DL4 logic computer (a little more than a year old now) was used as the base of it, due to its decently powerful and quite convenient drawing app. On this, you draw the frames, then upload them to the server.

Next, the server:

The frames are sent from the modified DL4 to the wireless server. This server compresses the 64 numbers (one for each pixel) into 16 and stores it to the RAM inside. Each server can store 8 frames, with a max of 96 frames overall.

Finally, the TV:

The server can then be commanded to replay these frames by a remote. Each frame takes 1 second to load to the wireless screen, a speed I'd say it's pretty good for how much data has to be sent.

TL;DR:

Movies in Trailmakers.

Make the frames on a repurposed, year-old drawing computer.

Load the frames to a server.

Play back the animation at 1 FPS on the wireless TV.

Though it has a small artifact issue in the corner due to its breakneck speed, it works incredibly well on non-laggy worlds or servers.
