Flux lightning doesn't, but the stormy weather caused by flux does. There's the yellow garnet route... but it's awful and I don't recommend it.

With the way things are shaping up, mod packs with GT should probably get their own sub-forum. I don't think ngt players will appreciate having a flood of people asking how to make an Iron Pickaxe... as an extreme case anyway.

Which actually just informs everyone on the server to google the glitch and exploit the crap out of it before it goes away. I'll drop my opinions and thoughts about GT here too. 1. I don't like the direction GregTech is heading in. It's gone from "higher tier stuff" to "attempt to tie some...

Dude. Chess is PvP meng! And I can totally name like 3 people that enjoy both those. Things like the first 10 GT machines you see in 1.1.2 Ultimate's NEI. Things that made it worth it (back then). Things actually worth calling "tech".

WUTT? How else will I keep my remake of Ragnarok Online's Labyrinth Forest's teleporter MFSUs charged?! Edit: But someone do let me know if GT actually starts adding fun things.

Reasons why these threads get locked. Logic dictates that of the mods mentioned in this mod drama, I remove, from my GAME, the least fun mod. Guess what mod that is?

I must have missed the part of the thread where we started talking about end-game, because 3 Diamonds per Mining Turtle and talking about making stacks of them is generally out of the scope of early and mid-game unless you get lucky in hitting Twilight Forest mounds early. What method are you...

Turtles have fuel levels. Also a stack of 64 turtles + the fuel and time spent fueling + the cost of item handling (most likely ender chests) is quite expensive.

It's not that bad. For first setups, combustion engines on fuel and aqueous accumulators for power and a diamond pipe + void pipe for cobble and relay to a series of iron chests. From there, replacing the on-site item handling with an item tesseract to handle the items at home base. After that...

What's wrong with your setup? Frameships, imo, would only complicate things for you. Depends on the modpack. Chunk Loader Mining Turtles is a strong starter choice if you know how to use them.

Here's my ranking. 1. Redpower frame tunnel bore is the most efficient because of the energy is runs off. The structure and system to handle the income is a decent investment though. 2-3. Chunk Loader Mining Turtle or Quarry. Fuel isn't an issue for either of these. Bring your mining turtle...

I think you're completely underestimating just how ****ing terrible overclocker upgrades are in GT machines. I suggest redesigning to use ZERO overclockers. Edit: Unless you're trying to build a fusion reactor to SPEND energy. No. Wait. Then you could just fusion-make Iridium instead...

I would prefer to not see another singular mainstream "Ultimate" pack with GregTech in it. - It's not hard. It's only more time consuming. If I wanted hard, I'd just put in TFC. - GregTech offers very little in the semi-creative scene. Automated Fusion Reactors just pointlessly devour FPS...

Favorite? Fuel. Dat yellow stuff is amazing. Base power? Sugarcane, tree, and wheat farms for biofuel, sustained by dirt, to power two Liquid 36HP boilers. Excess MJ to MFFS to a Forcicium cell. For IC2 power, Solars on SMP or Nuclear for SSP. Compact base? Instead of boilers, electric...
