MF2 1.1.8* thaumcraft/forestry

[SauliusTheBlack]

Hi all,

Recently I started playing Magic Farm, and I LOVED it. the new dimension it gave me for a game that started to lose its hold on me is fantastic. I edited it a tiny bit(adding the xp collection for open blocks, and adding buildcraft pipes(not for the quarry, I wont use the quarry, I promise) )

However, having started with 2 mods that I haven't look at too much I have 2 questions:
1] is it possible to discover victus without combining it yourself?(or the incredibly rare chance of a good node)
2] is it possible to turn off power to a carpenter/centrifuge, because it always drains my system(unless I whack the conduit with my wrench, which is not user-friendly)

Greetings,

Saulius

1. Not that I've seen. Most of the things that contain it also contain aspects that require it before you can scan them.
2. Kinda. Not directly, but a redstone energy cell of some sort can be shut off with a lever as need be.

 

[DREVL]

Yeah, if victus is the one with the red medicine bottle, that is the one aspect that needs to be fixed as far as scanning goes. After that everything just comes without a hitch.

Place an energy cell beside it and use a lever to toggle the energy cell off when not using the carpenter.


So like this

conduit- conduit -energy cell- conduits with carpenter and centrifuge attached

Then you can shut off a whole section of the network when not using it just by flicking a lever to stop the energy cell from outputting.

@Jaded: Yeah, I was afraid someone(never expected you, quite honered ;-) ) was going to say that. Is it possible with gates(work done, redstone signal, something like that?)

it's a shame that there isn't victus without victus-dependent items...

Yeah the victus thing is annoying.

Conduits and energy cells don't use gates. the energy cell outputs a redstone signal based on how full it is when used with a comparator. You might be able to use that somehow.

What I do is have a Buildcraft structure pipe leading from the Forestry machine to the Energy Cell. Forestry machines have the "Has Work" trigger for gates, so you can use that to send a redwire signal to another gate next to the Energy Cell, which emits a redstone signal to activate the cell. Takes up a bit more space but allows for efficient automation without wasting a lot of power.

Thats really creative. Cool idea.

 

[SauliusTheBlack]

Was what I was thinking, but I had no way of testing that quick. Nice to know that it is, indeed, possible. I will (maybe) post any results that follow.

 

[Pyure]

If your game has "additional buildcraft pipes" installed, you can use the "power switch pipe" . It opens/closes the connection depending on the redstone or gate signals it receives.

I've used this to great effect when I don't want to flip the entire energy cell off (for instance if its powering multiple machines). Be aware that the last time I used it, it failed to re-establish the pipe connection unless there was a block-update nearby (probably fixed by now but who knows). To get around this, I actually used a block updater block, but I forget what it was called or which mod had it.

Other than that it functions same as icepick72's setup (gate + has work)

Most Silverwood tree nodes have victus which is the heart. The red medicine bottle is Sano.

 

[SauliusTheBlack]

But you cant scan nodes embedded in the log. Is there a way to circumvent that limitation?

You can indeed scan the log nodes, as well as the totem/tile nodes. Just scan the block.

 

[SauliusTheBlack]

then I was just unlucky..

 

[Tristam Izumi]

Yep, there's no guarantee that a silverwood tree has node logs in it. You can visually tell which ones have nodes, even without a thaumometer or goggles of revealing: the node logs always have a big black dot on them instead of the normal silverwood log pattern.

 

[SauliusTheBlack]

That, I know, I just haven't had the chance that I could scan one. So no victus as of yet.(probably easier to combine it huh?)

MFR Laser drill components all have victus, as does the breeder and chronotyper <.<

 

[SauliusTheBlack]

Depending if I need any other elements, but thanks for the tip

I just found it out while scanning the other day and went..ooooooo

 

[YX33A]

Maybe something from DartCraft has Victus by now... Would make sense, honestly, since it's all about making annoying things less annoying.
I'll do some testing when I get the chance.

What other aspects do they have? Anything that is dependent on Victus being discovered? If not, nice find!
