Tardis Creation, Operation and Maintanence Information about creating Tardises, their operation processes and maintanence requirements. Creating your Tardis Tardis Sub-Systems-1.12 Tardis Flight Operations-1.12 Tardis Maintanence Tardis Troubleshooting Tardis Console Controls-1.12 Tardis Monitor-1.12 Creating your Tardis As of 0.0.8A, players are required to grow their own Tardis to create it. This is done by crafting a Tardis coral and Sub-system components. Stage 1 - Growing the Tardis Coral Figure 1 - Tardis Coral To grow the Tardis, place down the Tardis coral on any block and wait two Minecraft days. After two days has past, the player will receive a Tardis key and the player’s Tardis will materialize in the place of the coral. Notes: Over the period of two Minecraft days, the Tardis Coral will show progressive growth with four major stages. See the following images in the Gallery. Breaking a coral that is undergoing growth will reset the growth timer and revert it to its first growth stage. The player can only grow one Tardis from a coral block. If additional coral blocks are placed down after the growth of the first Tardis, they will not continue to grow. (As of 0.0.9B, this feature is bugged but will be rectified in future versions) If the player's inventory is full at the time of the key being given, the Tardis key will NOT be given to the player. If the player is offline when their Tardis has finished growing (for instance, on a multiplayer server), the Tardis key will be stored in the game and given to the player upon logging back in, provided their inventory was not full. If the player is in a Rift Chunk, the coral growth time is reduced to 1 Minecraft Day The command /tardis grow can be used to instantly grow the Tardis (provided the player is looking at the coral’s hitbox and has the right permissions). Each individual growth stage can be viewed with the command /time set 23999 Stage 2 - Repairing Sub-system components Upon mature growth, the Tardis will provide all sub-systems, with each sub-system having a random durability value. Thus, the player must gather resources to repair the sub-system components to prolong the life of the Tardis. Tardis Sub-Systems-1.12 A Tardis Sub-system is a set of processes that control a function within the Tardis. A Sub-system Component is an item that allows for a sub-system to function when installed into the Tardis console. Types of Sub-systems and their Functions The following table shows each Sub-system, their function and its required component. Required Sub-system Sub-System Function Component Chameleon Circuit Changes exterior shell Chameleon Circuit Prevents entities (players and mobs) from Temporal Grace Circuits taking damage inside Temporal Grace the interior.(until the Circuits circuit is fully depleted) Allows for Stabilized Stabilizers flight Stabilizer Circuits Fluid Links Allows for Flight Fluid Links Flight Systems Allows for Flight Dematerialisation Circuit Sustains the interior dimension. Without it, Dimensional Dams the player cannot enter Time Vector the Tardis. Generator Allows the Tardis to travel onto the Interstitial Antenna coordinates of a Dalek Invasion via the Interstitial Antenna Communicator. Prevents the Tardis from being able to materialise inside its Thermocouplings own interior and causing a continuous space-time Thermocouplings loop.

The sub-system component will be placed in the player’s inventory. BUG: As of 0.1.0E, removing the dimensional dams will kick the player out of the exterior faster than the game can place the item in the player's inventory, which causes the Time Vector Generator (TVG) to be left behind in the interior. The only way to access the interior is to craft a new Time Vector Generator and installing it. This is done by right clicking with the TVG on the Tardis exterior. Figure 1 - The Tardis Monitor GUI as of 0.1.0E Figure 2 - The Sub-system Gui in the Tardis Monitor as of 0.1.0E Maintanence and Potential Consequences After each flight journey, most sub-systems experience wear that can decrease a sub-system's durability by 1%. Hence, all sub-systems that are installed require regular maintenance to ensure the Tardis is operational. When a sub-system reaches 0% durability, the Tardis will suffer a variety of consequences. The table below explains this in detail.

The interior will not be reset/regenerated. Tardis Flight Operations-1.12 Tardis Flight allows the Tardis to travel through different dimensions and cross large distances. There are several ways to fly the Tardis and many options to control its abilities. However there are also some limitations and dangers as well. Understanding Tardis Flight Tardis Flight can create a variety of experiences for different pilots. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the Tardis is recommended. The ability to enable Tardis Flight is dependent on the following factors: Essential circuits are installed - Dematerialization Circuit, Fluid Links, Time Vector Generator and Thermo-Couplings A functional Tardis Monitor placed in the interior. Artron Energy level Tardis interior doors being closed. Installation/Repairing of Essential Flight- related Circuits The most basic form of Tardis Flight requires the installation of the Fluid Links, a Dematerialization circuit, Time Vector Generator and Thermo-Couplings. Without them, the Tardis cannot take off and land successfully and/or allow the player to enter its interior. By default, a fully grown Tardis coral will provide all sub-system components. However each sub-system has a random durability value due to the growth process. It is recommended for users to repair all essential flight-related circuits before using their Tardis regularly. Minimum Requirements: Dematerialization Circuits: 1% durability Fluid Links: 1% durability Time Vector Generator: 1% durability Thermo-Couplings: 1% durability Tardis Monitor A Tardis Monitor allows the player to view their destination, flight progress and other essential properties of their Tardis. It is also important for long term flight-readiness via monitoring and maintenance access to Tardis sub-systems. Multiple monitors may be placed in the interior. Each monitor will share the same information and have the same functionality. Minimum Requirements for flight: Placing down A Tardis Monitor in the Tardis interior Artron Energy Levels The Tardis uses up Artron Energy during flight. Each flight journey will use up 4% or more of the Tardis’ total capacity. If the artron energy level reaches 0%, explosion particles will be emitted from the console,followed by a Tardis Crash and the ringing of the Tardis Cloister Bell. Further consequences are the Tardis’s exterior position will be 5-10 blocks away from the position of the Tardis at a point in time when its artron energy banks were more than 0%. Additionally a 5x5 crater will be generated near the crashed exterior. Minimum Requirements for flight: 5% per flight Average Artron Energy usage in certain scenarios: Artron Energy Time of Flight Scenario Usage (%) (seconds) Travelling 1 or more blocks in one axis in the 4 18 same dimension as previous position Travelling to another dimension 7 34 without change in coordinates Closed Tardis Doors The Tardis interior doors must be closed during flight to prevent the player from being left behind at the Tardis’ previous location. The Tardis is able to take flight if the interior doors are removed. However, the interior doors need to be replaced after the Tardis has landed to allow players to exit the Tardis. Summary Before activating flight mode, the following minimum requirements must be met: Install/fully repair a functional Dematerialization Circuit, Fluid Link, Time Vector Generator and Thermo-Coupling.
