I always wondered what that was for... I never could make out that those were oxygen collectors in there. Are you sure that that much wheat has an impact on the gathering? I was lead to believe the cap would be hit much sooner than that, but I never tested it.

No, what he's saying is that there's a limit to how much cVis per tick an energized node can generate, and that you have probably already surpassed that point. Regardless, that is a rediculously massive node :P

And if you think that generating that much RF is useless, then you aren't thinking creatively enough.

Big Reactors was added as a cool way to generate RF power. Big machines with moving parts. It was specifically reconfigured such that it is NOT usable as a source of steam for GT. It is definitely not meant as a power source for GT. There is a complex and complicated way to convert from RF to EU...

If by "look further" you mean continue to pester the IC2 devs, then that's already being taken care of, by the developers and users of several different modpacks. There is literally nothing we can do about it here without changing every single recipe in the game that uses wood and rewrite them...

Well, @Pyure, we both failed to call it by it's actual name, which is the [Hungry] Hand Mirror :P

What you want is the hungry magic mirror. It's a one slot "bag" where anything you put into it comes out of the magic mirror you have it linked to. Early game I had it spit out into a chest (you can use a hungry chest or a hungry maw on a regular chest) that was being sorted by my sorting golem...

If you're generating the nitrogen as a byproduct of beryllium and saltpeter production, then I agree. However if you're not at least using them for saltpeter then I don't really find it worth it.

lolno. You can't get carbon out of a distillery. You can however distill oil into glyceryl trinitrate. This is more expensive than the chemical reactor route in both energy and oil to nitro-diesel ratio. The point is both getting the best oil to nitro ratio, and getting the most net EU out of...

I usually have 7 distilleries running, and I don't have this issue. Do you use optifine? What do you transport the fluids with?

The optimal path for nitro diesel is tin cell in compressor for air -> compressed air in distillery for nitrogen -> water+nitrogen+carbon dust in chemical reactor for glyceryl -> glyceryl + gasoline in the chemical reactor for nitro-diesel. This is half of the equation. Nitro-diesel gets you...

NEI FTW :)

Are you around, @Aiwendil ? I thought you'd said that you can put runic shielding on dark steel armor, but it's definitely not working. Or was it just a miscommunication?

Oregen (but not terrain gen) changed a bit somewhere between .15 and .23, so if you had a vein on the edge of generated chunks the rest of it might be something else, or nothing at all now, but other than that the transition should be smooth.

You may want to hold off on playing until 3.2 is released, which is tentatively scheduled for January. This release contains HQM tutorial quests for most of the major mods, including (of course) full info on GT. As for armor, get a composite armor vest early on. It gives the same protection as...
