    Mystcraft - how to write STABLE ages

    Yeah, I do this as well (otherwise it's a big jumbled mess when you start dragging pages into notebooks!) :)

    Mystcraft - how to write STABLE ages

    My go to single-biome stable age setup: single biome, the actual biome, zero length, noon, normal sun, normal moon, normal stars, bright, no weather, standard terrain, mineshafts, strongholds, ravines, villages, clear modifiers I wish it was easier to find pages in a notebook in the writing...

    Factorization: Sell me

    I love Routers and everyone seems to use them in storage scenarios but no one ever mentions their problems in said scenarios. Although the post is 3 months old, there's a huge downside to Routers: Routers get 'jammed' as soon as any Barrel in your wall of Barrels gets full and you try to input...

    I kind of agree. It works fantastically (and with very little effort!) for distributed tasks/jobs/processing - for instance spamming furnaces with things to smelt:

    Factorization barrels with Builcraft pipes

    Hit a bug with the system: when spamming it with extreme numbers of stacks - like having a timer pulse a Retriever as fast as it can go and looping the Retriever output into the storage system - there's a potential race condition. Here's the race- * Router gets a stack of items to process *...

    One optimization is placing a Filter next to the router, instead of a Retriever, as that removes the need for running blutricity to the router area but you then have to use a Machine Filter on the Router otherwise the Router treats the Filter as a valid inventory and starts dumping items into...

    Factorization barrels with Builcraft pipes

    Playing with ComputerCraft - if you get rid of the NOT gate and replace the timer with a computer: 'edit startup' function checkStuff() if rs.getInput("front") then rs.setOutput("back", true) sleep(0.2) rs.setOutput("back", false) end sleep(0.2) end while true do...

    Factorization barrels with Builcraft pipes

    Started playing with routers today and hit the jam problem pretty quickly with my first test quarry and cobblestone. I'm saddened there are no good solutions to this problem already; the Router itself emitting a signal when jammed would be awesome ... but in the meantime I can't redesign my...
