It seems it's not going to be possible to actually fix the issues at all. Having watched slowpoke's stream for a bit longer it becomes clear that although the map is very faithful to the original, the mechanics in 1.7.10 just don't work like 1.2.5 - mainly the ability to generate EMC in the...

Hehe, I only got into modded in 1.6.4 (Agrarian Skies 1) so missed out on a lot of earlier mods inc RP2. But I saw a stream of slowpoke trying out a fan-made of the FTB insanity pyramid and thought I'd try the original as a bit of light relief from my main world (Infitech 2). It's a lot of fun.

Out of pure curiosity, Shneekey, why are you loathe to use EIO? It doesn't seem too different to MFR in terms of functionality.

Welcome to the madness :) 1. Farms have been made to be mid-ish tier. Using ic2 crops is not to everyone's taste (excepting @UNG_God) but they can provide infinite resources if you have a lot of patience. It's not necessary because ore veins are pretty huge so you usually won't have to find...

To be honest, I'd forgotten about the need to supply tools. In which case, as you say, the EIO farming station is much (much) better. I've been using it in 1.7.10 for tree farms using BC auto-workbenches and a cobble-gen to make stone axes (wooden axes also work fine but using stone axes means...

Yeah, I know what you mean - can't really compete with the simplicity+effectiveness of mfr, but at least it's not forestry farming :)

Progressive automation was pretty straightforward in 1.7.10 - I haven't tried it in 1.10 though.

I seem to be really lucky regards tin - in my last world I literally fell onto a vein through a 1-block hole on the surface.

Yes, he mentions it's made by the 'Classic Pack Team' at the start of his twitch stream. Not sure about the issue fixes though.

A biogas jetpack will do the trick as well :)

At the very early stage, I roam around a lot picking up every small ore I can find, especially hills/mountains since there's a lot of exposed stone. It's usually enough to get a few batteries going.

Yeah know what you mean about Thaumcraft - I only ever want the boots anyway (and maybe a couple of other things). Have you tried Terrafirmacraft? It's such a different experience, it's definitely worth a try.

Did he? Oh I misunderstood.

Might have just been that you need to have an air block above the hole at the top (unless Blood has changed something).

There is also the Simple Achievements mod. I know it's not the same as HQM/BQ, but could still provide some guidance.

There's no easy way to find specific veins, I'm afraid, without using things like the cofh clearblocks command (in a creative copy of your seed).

That's a nice one - I saw UNG_God using it in one of his videos for alumentum too and immediately poached it. :)

Thanks for all the work you put into this, Jason. It's really appreciated. I've especially enjoyed this particular world. My list of GT firsts in this run includes (in no particular order) a vacuum freezer, dark steel, large turbines, pyrolyse ovens, ebf with nichrome coils, titanium, HV. I...

Rationing pipe from extra utilities? https://ftbwiki.org/Rationing_Pipe

Yes - good idea. I'm using two gt pipes (9600+400=10000 optimal) so I suppose shutters are the way to do it. Would I need machine controllers on the shutters?
