    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I worked it out by installing the battery into a set of MPS leggings instead of the tool itself, and it works fine. Just wondering why it's different if you install it directly into the tool itself. Interesting, but I don't find that to be the case. When the MPS battery is installed into an...

    Dumb Modular Powersuit Tricks

    I came across a zombie pigman wearing full MPS armor. So...tempting... Also, I've noticed that when I install a battery module directly into the power fist (i.e. not into the chestplate or another armor piece), the battery module will drain power OUT of the IC2/GregTech tools in my inventory...

    Alveary Mutator and Uranium

    Mine consumes the refined uranium, but doesn't seem to have any effect on the mutation chance (i.e. it's just eating uranium for no reason).

    I did bee math! (Now with more usability!)

    Thanks for this awesome work, it's exactly what I've been looking for. One quick question: I used the spreadsheet for a bee that produces its specialty every 78 minutes (e.g. glittering, impregnable, radioactive), database speed Slowest, individual speed Fast (because it's easy enough to...

    Information on New Gregtech Update? [Mindcrack v8.2.0]

    The automatic canning machine is now required in order to fill cells. (For example, crafting 1 sulfur dust + 1 empty cell together to get 1 sulfur cell will no longer work.) But I can't figure out how to get the automatic canning machine to work. Anyone have any idea what the buttons in its GUI...

    Detecting Full Barrels

    Right, but an hour is what I would probably use. Unless I go through an entire barrel of cobble in an hour, I should be fine. Ideally I'd like it to start producing again as soon as one of those 3 barrels is no longer full, but without completely redesigning my barrel system, that doesn't seem...

    Detecting Full Barrels

    That'll work. I had a couple similar ideas, but the auto-reset was stumping me. Having it try to produce every hour isn't the elegant solution I was hoping for, but it looks like it's the best I can do unless gates are fixed.

    Detecting Full Barrels

    Forgive the thread necromancy, but is there any way to do this without putting something on the top or bottom of the barrel? I have a Redpower tube + barrel sorting setup, and I'm trying to set up a system that can say: "If the cobblestone barrel and the sand barrel and the glass barrel are all...

    Turtle Tips for a Slow Computer?

    Right, but -- at least in Vanilla -- a spawner won't spawn new mobs if there are already 6 mobs within a 17x9x17 area (centered on the spawner). So, for the best possible rates, you need to drop the mobs down 6 or 7 blocks to get them out of that zone as quickly as possible. But again, I have no...

    Turtle Tips for a Slow Computer?

    With your spawning area only 4 blocks high, are you still getting T5-level rates? I know that would definitely slow down a Vanilla spawner, but I'm not 100% sure how those mechanics work with Soul Shards.

    Turtle Tips for a Slow Computer?

    Yes it's a T5. Not using print commands. I forget if I went with sleep(1) or sleep(0.2) but I can mess around with it. I'm not using any drop commands at all; the items get pulled out of the turtle by a transposer. The problem is that the skeletons are getting clogged in the water-flow system...

    Turtle Tips for a Slow Computer?

    Yeah, I noticed the speed issue. I'm dropping the skeletons a good distance so the turtle can 1-hit them, but I still can't leave it on for too long. Eventually I'll have to redesign it -- maybe switch to a 3x3 hole and use 9 turtles? -- but as a temporary solution to keep me stocked up on coal...

    It worked! Thanks Revemohl!

    Hmm, I will have to try that tonight when I get home from work.

    Turtle Tips for a Slow Computer?

    I tried both sleep(0.2) and sleep(1), and it works better but still stops working after a couple minutes. The turtle filling up with items isn't a problem; I'm just using a transposer + timer to suck all the items out and send them to my sorting system.
