Besides, the point is it's supposed to be a solution to 1-the range issue and 2- allowing a group of computers to contact each other without loads of annoying message juggling and without the network being hackable, in effect a 'local' broadcast, so broadcast only sends data to the computers connected via wire, meaning someone actually has to find your wires and hook up to them.

lan_wire_distance_limit = 1024And so any message in the wire only goes that far...
As to chunk loading, maybe when you place wire it checks for a connection to a wire network, if there is one it connects else it makes a new one. When two wire networks connect, the less active one gets merged into the more active one. Any computer connected to a wire is connected to its wire network. This would likely require infinite wire connection but whatever. Also, if anyone complains that lag wire can't, why not just call it Fibre-optic Cable.

- Network cables: utp, stp, coaxial, optical fiber
- Lan switch peripheral
- Lan repeater
- Lan sniffer
- Wireless modem
Just need that, some textures and a few other details to release it />

EDIT: If you're talking about your own peripheral, then talk about it somewhere else so this topic doesn't get confused.

It's my own periperhal, but it's related to this, that's why I posted it here. If someone has suggestions about it, feel free to post/pm it.

Make each one have its own advantage though... so everyone doesn't use the same wire for everything!

I would contribute some recipes if I knew what it all did, but I'll go for one I definitely do know:
Frequency Modem:
SSS
SMS
SSS
S-Switch
M-Modem
(switches to represent the turning on of 8 bits representing a numerical frequency stored in a byte)
As for cables, I think you could have :
SSS
III
SSS
S-Stone
I-Iron
With the type of stone used determining strength of the cable (cobblestone>stone(smeltedcobble)>stonebricks(4stone))
Or alternatively, you could have a standard weak wire made like so:
III
I-iron
and then the weak wire could be strengthened like so:
III
IWI
III
I-Iron
W-Wire
and keep repeating that for each upgrade, making each upgrade require 8 iron, so if you have 4 stages, they would essentially cost around 27-35 iron each.

1 may be plenty for you, but I for one aren't going to complain if someone wants to grace us with more than that.

There is a need, the need to have a local network so you can talk everyone on the network, but nobody else knows what you are saying.
Like if you connected several real world computers via LAN, then sent data through the LAN, only the computers on the network could read the data, thus connecting several computers and shutting all the others out.
Yes, you could just have a table of the computer IDs and send the data to all of them, but that's fiddly, especially for beginners. The LAN cables are just a hardware solution to software complications, which is perfectly fine, good for beginners and quicker. It could also be used to connect to peripherals further away (eg a turtle, disk drive or one of the extra peripherals like the printer).
It's fine if there are people who don't see a use for them, but there are others who do see the clear use and can put them to use, so they will have a use and thus should be created.

It's not taking a working thing and making it worse, it's taking a working thing and adding a new feature to make it easier to use.
On a side note: please, if you are going to argue a statement, please don't swear, even if it is hashed out (which makes it look more pathetic than if you had swore) and try to use a coherent level of spelling and grammar.
