[1.7.10][LISTED] InfiTech 2 Modpack v3.2.21 [HQM][GregTech balanced hard-mode modpack]

[MarcNemesis]

Problem)
1) PneumaticCraft LPG and GregTech LPG are not compatible
2) PneumaticCraft Refinery does not work with the Heavy Oil I'm getting from my pyrolyse oven

Solution A)
Find a completely new oil source just for the pneumaticraft refinery.

Solution B)
1) Mixer recipe: light fuel and heavy fuel into gasoline
2) Thermopneumatic Processing Plant recipe: gasoline into PneumaticCraft LPG
3) turn LPG into plastic !!

This is my working system with stable pressure and turn off switch when coal is empty or tank full.
(gasoline production not shown)

Correct me if i'm wrong but don't refinery work better if stacked upon one another? So as to make multiple fuel type?

This relates closely to something I have been wondering recently. Up until now I have focused almost exclusively on gregtech stuff and I have a LPG focused power setup. (few distillation towers crackers etc..)

What are my best options now for RF generation? Can I burn GT LPG in any of the Foresty/BC/EnderIO generators? Is there something I'm overlooking? This play-through on of my goals is to avoid any sort of charcoal based power generation if possible.

Yes but I'm not using any pneumaticraft refineries.
My entire setup is to avoid using the refineries because I don't want to get another oil source exclusicly for pneumaticraft because heavy oil doesnt work with pneumaticraft stuff.

I think the best RF generation is with a simple gregtech cable.

Edit: Also, on a side note, does anyone know how the Advanced Miner II handles oilsand? It doesn't have a pulverizer recipe.

In the past it's just returned the oilsand ore blocks. Not sure if it still does that or not.

Question about Plutonium 241. Only way to get it is to centrifuge ~45 plutonium 244 dust? Seems bizarre to matter fab up 50 plutonium ingots from nothing, then centrifuge them all mostly into nothing again lol.

Ohh, i see. I hadn't touch the Thermopneumatic Refinery when i played with Pneumaticcraft in my last playthrough. Thus i wasn't aware you were able to use that to make plastic using GT Fuel. You just saved me soooo much time and space now!

Confirmed, still works that way, my Miner grabbed some Oilsand ore blocks today. But I consider them junk, throw-away, once you get an Oil Drilling Rig set up over a good deposit, that thing just pumps a pretty much infinite amount, it's way more than my basic 2-Distillation Tower setup can handle and I've got it going around the clock. I think Oilsands was intended for early-game oil tho, it certainly has it's purpose. But once you have a Miner running, I doubt you need to process Oilsands blocks anymore.

 

[UNG_God]

he used the Thaumic device, maybe Transvector Interface

hey emulate the machine they bind to, so it is like the machine have more faces to interact, i use it to either give fluid/power to machine without clustering the area.

So in short, how do you power Galacticraft equipment using Gregtech power?

you connect an ender io energy conduit on gt cable to draw rf , and insert it on the machines.

1) PneumaticCraft LPG and GregTech LPG are not compatible

correct, to avoid exploits.

2) PneumaticCraft Refinery does not work with the Heavy Oil I'm getting from my pyrolyse oven

you can use a gt distillery to convert heavy oil into oil, the ratio should be the same, i did light to oil and got the same amount of the end product.

gt lpg and pneucraft lpg cant be used in place of each other.

I'm processing Bauxite to make Titanium, and I happened to notice there's a Pulverizer recipe to get a Gallium Dust (10% chance) from centrifuged Bauxite so naturally I took advantage of that... but I'm unsure what Gallium is best used for? It sounds important tho, and I do see a "Vanadium-Gallium" ingot which is intriguing. Don't see anything in the wiki and I'd rather just post here than try to figure it out thru NEI.

tl;dr: Best use for this Gallium Dust I just acquired?

 

[Zeyad_001]

Apart from gallium being used in the new solar panel recipes. Vanadium gallium is used for Luv tier machines and wiring, also it is one of the metals that can be used to make a superconductor wire.

When you say new solar recipe...whicu solar are you talking about? *cross finger for solar cover*

32V solar cover uses gallium, there is also a 8V solar cover, both use graphene wire.

hmm..is that for the latest version? I haven't had the chance to update from 3.2.18 to 3.2.19.1 yet and mine are the old GT Solar cover recipe... as in:
x8 1V = 1 ULV
x8 ULV = 1 LV
etc

 

[asb3pe]

I never made it to the solar recipes... I got as far as "Superconducting Wire" and just sorta sat there staring at NEI and drooling, lost in dreamland.

As far as i know, Gregtech Solar Cover have to be enabled in the config (Overpoweredstuff.cfg). But when i did so to check out the recipe (because i keep them disabled on my server for pretty obvious reason i assume), they were still the same old recipe: 2 Carbon plate, 2 Basic Circuit, 1 Silicon and something else which i forgot but cost pretty much nothing to craft. And from that, you build up solar cover from higher tier by using 8 from the previous panel mixing it with a...transformer if i remember correctly (not that it matter anyhow.)

My point being that i'm still trying to figure out which version is supposed to have these "new solar cover". Because if the recipe have been cranked up to be costly like that, then it would make it worth while to enable.

 

[Haiya-Dragon]

They are not that cheap. the 32v one needs two energy flow circuits, all higher tiers seem disabled by default.

And for something completely different: Today my large gas turbine had a maintenance issue, dropping its rotor speed to 90%. The energy output remained the same as if it were 100%. Intended or not?

The portable scanner's readout for the Large Turbine doesn't take the rotor speed (efficiency value) into account when listing the EU/t.

Does anyone know why the HQM quest "Going Nuclear" requires 16 Dense Lead plates when a reactor only needs 6 dense?

As i said above, which version add those change? Basically, i'm trying to figure out if there is a file problem on my end or if i simply don't have the right version yet.

.19 added the new recipes for ULV and LV solar, you don't need to enable them in the OP file.

Thanks!
