Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0 and 1.21.1, potentially outdated):
chuteblockplacer_1.0.5.zip
1-click install
Ever wanted your chute system to actually place the block instead of just dropping it? Wel now it can!
New:
- Can now also drop sideways
Features
- Drops blocks as a falling block rather then an item (by default this triggers on any block but you limit this to blocks that are normally affected by gravity in the config)
- Pile (like charcoal) items will be placed on the ground (This does not include GroundStorables like firewood)
All items that can't be placed will be dropped as items so be carefull.

Chute block placer now respects unplaceable behavior and peatbrick now actually has this behavior (has to do with some things being blocks that can't be placed rather then items for backwards compatibility reasons) | ||||||

TheInsanityGod Thanks for the clarification.
Pervy_Sage, it does.
TheInsanityGod If it continues placing a block after the space is clear that is indeed "waiting".
Pervy_Sage nothing happens while the output space is blocked, no block placement, no falling blocks and no dropped items. I assume this is equivelant to what you call waiting.
What happens when the block it drops covers the air blocks directly in front of the chute block placer?
If it just waits until the block is clear this would be great for automating sieves.
I suppose in that case you would need to add a custom hopper block (a grate or something) that could have piles on them. I was imagining being able to store any pileable in a silo and pull from it. Im sure lots of players have wanted to do that
wildejackson, not that difficult. Though you would have to search out for other piles since you have to grab from the top pile block first to avoid weird behavior (game already does that for player interaction on piles)
Not sure what the use case for this would be though, considering you can't place pile's on hoppers in the first place.
How difficult would it be to impliment behavour for hoppers to have them pull from piles? Wouldnt need to search out for other piles just the one above it
Demonocolips, peat issue is fixed in latest issue.
(and made a pull request on sortable storage github with a fix for the charcoal issue)
So peat thing is an issue on my side, I forgot to exclude to GroundStorables/Unplaceables from placement code :P (game has a lot of blocks that are not supposed to be placed but are considered blocks for legacy reasons)
Charcoal thing seems to be due to sortable storage replacing the charcoal item class with a custom class (to deal with an issue in regards to poor vanilla code for writing on labeled chests)
I'll see about getting these fixed
hmm what a curious incompatibility, guess I'll take a look
ok found the mod that is incompatible with just charcoal for some reason. https://news.kalataka.ru/sortablestorage
updated to its latest version and it still happens.
also weird thing with peat came up in testing single peat brick with wall hack around it being placed. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3459482931
Just tested in 1.20.7, seems to work just fine.
Demonocolips, are you by chance trying to drop black coal and charcoal onto the same pile?
If so that would be the issue: the game doesn't allow 2 different kinds of coal in the same pile -> it can't be placed -> it's dropped instead (as mentioned in mod description)
am i missing something or does this not work with charcoal? it works fine with black coal but just drops charcoal on the ground. i checked in the mod config and there doesnt seem to be a way to change this.
Whoops, my bad. New version shouldn't conflict with any recipes (atleast not vanilla ones). TheFifthRider
Love this mod! Being able to keep my cementation furnace running without manual refueling is so good.
I have noticed that the crafting recipe seems to collide with the copper roof ridge, which I thiiink is a vanilla recipe? Any chance you could change it to something else?
lmao, well not everyone can see the future! TheInsanityGod
RosstheGreat, the not foreseeable future has passed apperently :p
If it can place coal I don't mind setting up a system with 2 of them to keep coal constantly burning for the full duration of the steel burn. Although not having it output on the side is quite rough hahah. Understandable though!
Placing coal yes, groundstackables maybe.
I have no plans of making it rotateable tough (not in the foreseeable future anyway) so it probably won't be much help in a cementation furnace due to lack of space.
(I have thought about making a fakeplayerblock mod though, kinda like an autonomous activator)
RosstheGreat
Like what Bullet said, being able to place coal or ground stackables would be a literal godsend. I can't tell you how annoying it is to keep up a cementation furnace manually! Is there any possibility of adding it as a feature using whatever function the "Crouch+Right Click" is based on for stackables?
It drops those on the ground BulletJustice.
(as if you pressed Q from the inventory)
How does this interact with placeables like Coal and Firewood? Does it slowly stack like it does from player, or does it drop those on the ground as if you press Q from inventory?
No it just places actually blocks into the world SalazarWindriver.
Will this try to place things like iron blooms onto an anvil?
