Looks like it was HydCraft that was causing my Unstable game to die. Mod author is not accepting bug reports, but if anyone else is encountering issues where the world quietly stops updating, that might be the culprit.

That makes sense. I guess time to start digging and figure out which mod is giving me issues then ^_^

Limited support aside, is it worth while to report issues? If so, is there an appropriate place to do so?

True, it is not that much more work, but at least in creative I needed something like 4 stacks of 64, and for a pipe that does not even provide nice visuals it seems really expensive. For that price I might as just use tesseracts and then cheat with some waterproof pipe filled with steam...

*nod* more and more I am just using ssh and wget. How do you handle access to the server console? For me that is one of the last useful aspects of the web interface.

In my creative world that is exactly what I did, but for whatever reason I dislike using EU pipes in my survival world. Something about 'stacks of upgrades' feels unfun tedious. And I admit on an aesthetic level, TE and BC pipes are still the most fun.

So, In the past I have tried to keep life simple by using MineOS for my minecraft server OS. It has some nice parts to it including simplicity (so low maintenance), a web interface, etc. On the other hand, it does not play all that nice with FtB packs and upgrading to new versions of a pack...

Huh. So I tried building a small reactor/turbine combo and linked them up with fluid ducts, but am getting way less extraction then predicted. The only documentation I could find said 160mb/t per connection. But with two ports and resonant servos in both, I am only getting 120mb/t. I hope...

So values are consistent as long as I have fuel in the buffer. Hrm, does anyone know what the redstone port '% energy' represents when running in active mode? I was hoping to use it to compensate for the efficiency change, but it looks like it is just signalling all the time.

Sadly I am working within the constraints of the DW20 pack, so no Mekanism. The new Thermal Dynamics pipes are still pretty limited, upgrades can double the pull rate but that is still way below the 2000mb/t needed. I had not checked to see what MFR options were available under active...

*nod* in my creative world I ended up using tesseracts, but for my actual base this is what I am intending to do. The downside though is that this means I can only hook up one turbine so my reactor will have to stay stepped down. Unless I build a whole bank of bedrockium drums. Hrm......

Well, I will now admit, active cooling is being nice and complex, though the available ways of moving so much steam has been disappointing. Though in trying to balance things, is it my imagination, or does the mb/t vary by how much fuel is in the reactor? That is going to make autobalancing...

Since one of the key requirements is 'self sustaining', I would say that helps.

Ah, I was not aware of that upper limit. So I guess this reactor, which produces somewhere between 5k and 6k needs 3 independent turbine housings, each with a stack of 10 8 blade turbines. Hrm. That might not fit within the space I have constrained myself to.

Hrm. 1.12% vs 0.34%, that does give uranium an interesting edge. I did not know you could do something like that in the QED, that might be an interesting path to look into. I had looked briefly into the cinnabar+induction smelter route, but am not sure about the types of automation I would...
