This is an area where I feel GT got it right. What does it do? Its just trickier, pure and simple. Did you find a way to automate that process? Having furnace->hopper to turn lots of iron into wrought iron would have been simple. Trying to get the same thing done with a nugget intermediary is...

That's how debugging/troubleshooting works. You say your computer doesn't work: I ask if its plugged in. I'm entitled to ask that question. You're entitled to be annoyed about it. You're not entitled to say "ffs, this isn't rocket science" about it. Or rather, you are entitled to it, but...

Desman, if I'm reading the above correctly, the conversation starts to go badly south on this comment: "I specifically said top and left-right slots. Nothing is blocked. This isn't rocket science ffs. " I'll allow that I might be missing something, but if not, this is where the problems in the...

Thanks dude, it was a fun read while it lasted :) I'm actually glad you stuck with it as long as you did. Infitech is a funny old soul. Its got a classic GT grindy feel, with a few minor workarounds, and it absolutely isn't for everyone. I don't agree with the general statement "its not...

I...don't understand this. If you go to the sulfur elevation in the nether with a half-decent pickaxe (cobalt or w/e you like) and dig straight forward for 20 minutes, you will virtually always hit sulfur. And that vein will be all you'll ever need. (The lava-pocket thing isn't a big deal...

Managing your circuits, from which machines you prioritize to whether you focus on optimizing your circuitry assembly apparatus, if one of the most difficult decision trees in the pack. My own strategy is typically to just pick my machines very carefully with half an eye towards trying to kill...

Adding any mod is always subject to a bit of caution, but generally speaking more specialized mods (such as Better Boilers) are less likely to clash since they impact a specific mechanic.

No worries

Hiya mandrick. I wanna revisit the 1100C thing. Can you please triple-check that requirement? I think you're right, I just wanna be sure. Regarding the blast furnace: I don't think the lava matters here because you're going to be using the friction heater, and iirc they don't combine...

This is....kinda accurate but not 100%. For obsolete machines, virtually everything in GT can be recycled in some ways. So you tend to get a lot of your materials back if you want to. For the "two steps" thing, you sort of described above how long things were taking you. You're totally...

You understood me bang on: crafttweaker, but also configs in many cases (the SAG mill can be tweaked considerably via configs) But now I see that's not the angle you were looking for. So: I'm also interested in hearing some unusual mod-specific ore processing approaches.

Thanks for the feedback sir. One thing I think is burning you a bit is a predisposition against "spamming" machines. GT is a bit factory-oriented. Yes you can earn "better" machines later on, but between stages you're sort of encouraged to find a balance between "how much faster will X...

You're looking for baked-in mod solutions, or script-it-yourself? Infitech2 (modpack) has some interesting ore processing approaches. For instance, it has Bees, but the bees don't generate resources. They generate combs (e.g. Iron Combs, etc), which can be combined with appropriate ores in a...

Yeah, a constant drain would suuuuck (although it wouldn't be totally unrealistic...steam should condense over time, but w/e) Yep you've already identified what is a bit of a minor GT-challenge-gate. Everyone needs to learn to adapt to the selfishness of the alloy smelter. iirc, the level of...

Nope. But worst case scenario, you get a "free" crap-tier EIO fluid conduit via quest and can use that to extract into whatever pipes you like. Small bronze in this case. Ok that adds up a bit. This is where your extensive MC experience is biting you in the ass. "Everyone" knows you branch...

Point of interest: On my last playthrough, I skipped the iron tank for a long time. I managed to get by with just a very tall stack of BC tanks. Which is still expensive in glass, but glass can be easier to deal with than iron. Also, it kinda looked cool. And how in god's name have you...

I'd advise you to scale up, which is typically a good approach i this kind of scenario, except then you'd be contending with weeds. And standing there babysitting your crops isn't a lot of fun. My compromise of sorts was to do a bunch of 2x2s that didn't connect to each other and check them...

I don't know the exact algorithm, but yeah, more or less. There are ways to improve your chances, and I think NEI reflects that (I believe it uses a system of keywords). Also, crops of a tier stick together to a good extent. Personally I usually find crops more trouble than they're worth...

IC2 crop results are weighted random. You can get basically anything from anything.

Hey @ShneekeyTheLost I feel like you made a bona fide effort here and ran into a legitimate design annoyance. Have you canceled this project?
