Believe it or not, this isn't the longest Eloraam has gone without a progress update. Though we're getting close. What worries me is that a few big mod authors feel that it's necessary to start duping some of RP2's functionality. These are the people who are most likely to be in...

Right now, I'm wondering if Elo's been hit by a bus. Which is no doubt a big concern of all of us. The fact that other mod authors, who are in the best position to communicate with Elo feel that it's necessary to start duplicating RP2 functionality is a very worrying sign. Elo's had 2...

This actually sounds interesting. It would be great if it could block the sound of rain as well. I'd suggest going to the Thaumcraft thread and suggesting it there, as this seems to fit pretty well with that mod.

Or bump it down. I reset my memory to 256, and it lasts much longer than at 1gb.

I also have this problem. Can't play for more than a few minutes before lagging so bad I have to ctrl-alt-delet out of the game. I've tried altering Java's memory parameters both in FTB advance tab and through Java VM itself. Doesn't make any difference.

Welp, it's been about a month, any updates on how it's going?

Well, for some reason my desktop minecraft is freezing every 2 minutes on me, so I can't accurately test it at home. But from what I saw on my laptop install, Two LP's are better than one HP for about a day or two before they even out enough for the efficiency differences to be trivial...

Unless you have a steel industry already set up, each HP boiler will take over an hour and a half to build. And the point of boilers, either one, is to not need to constantly restart them, which is why, if you don't have infinite fuel, you go for the duel LP boilers, as it costs a lot less...

I think you're wrong to not count the heat up as part of the lifetime efficiency of the boilers. Heat up is not an insignificant amount of time, it's basically an all day operation, and significantly effects fuel efficiency. That's like saying that airplane fuel efficiency should only be...

Ok, so at about 5.2 hours or so, a 36 LP boiler wins the efficiency race, and then stays in the lead till infinity? And at a bit over 8 hours, the 36 LP boiler makes more MJ per HU and keeps the lead on that as well till infinity?

For God's sake, you could have built a dozen new RP tunnel bores in the time you've had this thread open. Just build a new one, it'll be easier than finding your old one.

The 'only loads chunks around where it's first placed' was a railcraft bug. It's why chunk loaders sat out an update cycle. But they work now, and have for a while. Just look at DW20's videos, they use chickenchunk loaders for all their frame miners.

1. Because you couldn't remote control an airship well even when you were right next to it because of it's movement system. Heck, even when you were on the airship, you couldn't really fly it that well. They can move fast, but you pay for that with the inaccurate controls and difficulty...

I did the same thing. Built it to have 4 miners with the top card, and would methodically move and mine out about a nearly 2x2 chunk worth of ore each time.

Then Blutricity is the 'smart' form of energy.
