What weird cross-mod combos have you found?

[Drkevlar]

With the wonderful suggestion of the caliometric burner (CB), i've found a nice early/mid game power and bread source:

1x Barley -> 1x barley flour -> bread
Bread last 50 seconds in the CB.

My farm uses:
- 3 activators
- 1 harvester
- 1 watering can
- 1 crafty turtle
- 1 lava powered heater
- 2 vanilla furnaces
- 2 hoppers
- 1 hopperduct
- 8 itemducts (3 servos)
- 1 water boiler
- 1 caliometric burner
- 1 steam dynamo
- 2 chests

While i'm typing this, my overflow chest is getting stuffed with bread and barley seeds
I could post some pictures if anyone is interested.

Edit: forgot caliometric burner in the list

Watermill farm with Buildcraft Floodgate filling in the empty spaces with water. I have not tried it out yet.

i'm playing with a similar setup, refining my zombie fueled boiler array.

right now i'm playing with Atomic Science 3x3 turbines. so far a small bank of 10 water boilers and 5 calio's arranged in rows, with the calios between, will supply 4 3x3 turbines with a small excess steam.

Idk if you can still do this, but I used to make an automatic tree farm with either computer craft or forestry, and have all the wood smelted into charcoal.

I then used a mod to turn charcoal into coal (may have been EE)

Then I put all my coal through the IC machines and turned the coal into diamonds.

Tada! Renewable resource of diamonds.

I was going through my NEI of my own mod compilation and saw there was a recipe for 1 Charcoal Block = 1 Coal (not block, just a piece of coal) recipe. Not sure where the recipe came from or I might just seeing it wrong. :/

 

[midi_sec]

apparently atomic science turbines will run off of meat or pink slime, it doesn't care which.

so... i'm going to cut out the steam middle man, and run my turbines off of villager meat. :evilmustache:

I believe Mekanism adds that recipe

That villager killing factory looks evil.
I like it!

 

[midi_sec]

oh its going to get worse. I need more death to sustain my lavish lifestyle, so I'm switching from adults to children.

its a lot more efficient to feed the meat ingots to a calio and make steam. I guess liquid meat clogs turbines :3

 

[BanzaiBlitz]

I don't recall the MFR slaughterhouse working on villagers or even baby animals. Is that a config option?

 

[Redius]

The Extra Utils watering can, OpenBlocks sprinkler, and Reliquary's Lillypad of Fertility all work in conjunction with each other to make incredibly quick farms. I got a 3x3 to generate approx. 676 vanilla saplings an hour (plus thousands of wood blocks). I showed it's creation on my LP series, for those that want to see it in action.

When they're all blended up it's hard to tell :3

I laughed hysterically for 3 minutes straight after reading that. You made my day sir, thank you.

 

[Tankh]

Not too strange really, but using Rotarycraft bucket filler for Factorization mixer, all connected with Thermal Expansion ducts and covered up with forge microblock covers. really nice to get that stuff automated and encapsulated.

Would have loved to automate the crystallizers aswell though :S

 

[Redius]

This might seem really obvious but...

Ars2 heal spells trivialize Blood Magic (once you get fast healing perk).

i wonder how i could've missed this thread earlier.. anyway you can check my sig for non conventional ore processing

Not really a "you can build this" combo, but I just found this while playing around in Tech World 2 (with ATG worldgen)...

Spoiler

I would call that a weird cross-mod combo.

I went into creative and swam down to the bottom. Apparently, Buildcraft oil acts exactly like water at least in terms of contacting lava. The shaft is lined with obsidian, and the bottom is mostly obsidian with a little cobble mixed in.

The lowest point of the base is at y=11 (and is a pretty sizable spheroid) and the tip is at y=239. That's one hell of an oil well, with plenty of lava for fuel as well.

But it should be ON FIRE.

EDIT: That was one heck of a lag spike when it generated, too... imagine a 228-block high column of water turning 9 blocks of lava into obsidian on each vertical level, PLUS the big spheroid at the bottom. I was typing up a bug report while I waited for the game to crash out, then this appeared.

I think it's not on fire because of the cobble gen thing. It's stopping it from touching the actual lava.

*whistle*
what biome is that? lava lake?

Get a fast jump start in Thermal Expansion by making Invar in a TC smeltery. Use the same ratio or ferrous to iron as you would in the Induction smelter. 2 Iron+1 Ferrous.
