Zero Point Systems

Zero Point Systems is a mod that adds many unique logistical blocks and items that can be used for creating redstone contraptions, controlling Valkyrien Skies ships, transmitting data, and more!

The primary feature is a unique cable system that allows for four independent signals to be sent through a single block: the Dense Cable. These signals can be either redstone signals or Forge Energy signals, and you can combine them within a single dense cable. Just make sure they're all on separate channels, or there might be explosive consequences! You can combine single cables into dense cables and vice versa with the use of the Dense Cable Separator block, which transfers the signals between the dense cables and 4 individual ones which are distinguished by colored faces.

To go along with these dense cables, there are several blocks which connect directly to them without the use of the usual separator block:

• The Octo and Dodeca Controllers. These controllers map keys on your keyboard directly to the colored channels of a dense cable when you sit at them. Their primary intended use case is as a control interface for VS ships, but you can also use them to control anything you like.
• The Switch Panel. This panel connects a tiny lever directly to each channel of a dense cable.
• The Graduated Lever. This lever connects to a single cable and allows precise control of the redstone signal strength passing through it.

There is also a Data Cable system that can send strings of letters over long distances. This can be used to send and receive radio signals, display text on panels, compare text, and automatically record incoming messages into books! You can even play the messages out loud using the text-to-speech Loudspeaker block!
