# Tech Age [techage] (Minetest 5.0+)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tech Age, a mod to go through 4 tech ages in search of wealth and power.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Tech Age (techage) is the successor to TechPack V2, at first glance similar and yet completely different!**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Important facts:
|
|
|
|
|
- techage is not backwards compatible and cannot be installed on a server together with TechPack
|
|
|
|
|
- techage is significantly more extensive, since additional mods are integrated
|
|
|
|
|
- techage represents 4 technological ages:
|
|
|
|
|
- Iron Age (TA1) - simple tools like coal pile, coal burner, gravel sieve, hammer for getting ores and making goods
|
|
|
|
|
- Steam Age (TA2) - Simple machines that are powered by steam engines and drive axles
|
|
|
|
|
- Oil Age (TA3) - More modern machines that are powered by electricity.
|
|
|
|
|
The electricity is generated by coal & oil power plants. The oil must be explored, extracted and transported.
|
|
|
|
|
- Future Age (TA4) - Electricity from renewable energy sources such as sun and wind.
|
|
|
|
|
Environmentally friendly electricity storage, intelligent machines and means of transport of the future
|
|
|
|
|
- Since the levels build on each other, all ages have to be run through one after the other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In contrast to TechPack, the resources are more limited and it is much more difficult to pass all levels.
|
|
|
|
|
(no endless ore generation by means of cobble generators)

The following mods in the newest version have to be downloaded directly from GitHub:
|
|
|
|
|
* [tubelib2](https://github.com/joe7575/tubelib2)
|
|
|
|
|
* [minecart](https://github.com/joe7575/minecart)
|
|
|
|
|
* [lcdlib](https://github.com/joe7575/lcdlib)
|
|
|
|
|
* [safer_lua](https://github.com/joe7575/safer_lua)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is highly recommended that you install the following mods, too:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [signs_bot](https://github.com/joe7575/signs_bot): For many automation tasks in TA3/TA4 like farming, mining, and item transportation
|
|
|
|
|
* [hyperloop](https://github.com/joe7575/Minetest-Hyperloop): Used as passenger transportation system in TA4
|
|
|
|
|
* [compost](https://github.com/joe7575/compost): The garden soil is needed for the TA4 LED Grow Light based flower bed
|
|
|
|
|
* [techpack_stairway](https://github.com/joe7575/techpack_stairway): Ladders, stairways, and bridges for your machines
|
|
|
|
|
* [autobahn](https://github.com/joe7575/autobahn): Street blocks and slopes with stripes for faster traveling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For large servers with many player, the following packages are recommended:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `lua-mashal` for faster serialization/deserialization of data
|
|
|
|
|
* `lsqlite3` for storing node and network data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both packages are installed via [luarocks](https://luarocks.org/):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
luarocks install lua-marshal
|
|
|
|
|
luarocks install lsqlite3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable this `unsafe` packages, add 'techage' to the list of trusted mods in minetest.conf:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
secure.trusted_mods = techage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the installation of 'luarocks' (if not already available), see [luarocks](https://luarocks.org/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you enable 'lsqlite3' you also have to enable 'lua-marshal'. Available worlds will be converted
|
|
|
|
|
to 'lsqlite3' and 'lua-marshal', but there is no way back, so:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Never disable 'lsqlite3' and 'lua-marshal' for a world, which it was already used!**
