Enable Mining Drill is already shown in the settings. Players expect more information if a help icon is shown. If there is no additional information to show, then please remove these description lines.

I know. I just wasn't sure what i should put there. The descriptions should be written by someone who understands technic more. I suppose I could remove them.

Please use the technic_ prefix on all settings such that that their origin is clear. The minetest.conf file is already somewhat chaotic, thus let's not make it much worse.

Good idea. Will do.

You could use technic.config:set(k, core.settings:get_bool(k, v)) where v is the fallback. Requires Minetest 5.0.0 or newer. This is already a requirement, thus usable without further adjustments.

I didn't put the nil check for compatibility. If we call one of the core.settings functions and the setting is at it's default value then the function will return nil anyway.

Which part would return nil?
Correction of my previous example:
technic.config:set(k_but_without_technic_prefix, tostring(core.settings:get_bool(k, v)))
-- can be either "true" or "false"There was a problem hiding this comment.
I seem to recall that core.settings:get and core.settings:get_bool return nil when the setting hasn't been changed at least once?

Yes, without the 2nd argument it would indeed return nil. However, providing the fallback argument will act as a default value.

This currently isn't finished but should be soon. I need help figuring out how to correctly generate the technic.config.
