I'm a bit confused. When I go into NEI, there is no "Diesel Engine", and nothing I can find even remotely similarly named. What I do find, however, is one of the Enchiridion books with the exact title "Large Diesel Engine". Clicking thru the recipes, however, reveals nothing. There's no...

I know if a GT multiblock Output Bus is full, you lose whatever items the machine can't put in there, it simply deletes them. Does the same thing apply to Output Hatches, tho? I am noticing the Output Hatch on my Oil Cracker is always full, because the Input feed is coming from a Distilling...

Wow, I was gonna complain about all these tiny Hydrated Coal dusts coming out of my Distillation Tower... until it suddenly hit me that each stack is basically a diamond. :) So now I'm laughing to myself instead of complaining. Who knew processing Heavy Oil would result in a by-product of...

I try to keep my base as compact and as small as possible... because in this pack, if you spread out too much, you pay for it, either in material costs for additional piping and wiring and stuff, or else you pay in electrical costs since you lose a tiny bit of power with every length of cable...

Yes, I agree. Just so you know, eventually there will be a device (Seismic Prospector) that we can use to get information about what's in an area, and I'm pretty sure it covers the entire chunk right down to bedrock over a good-sized area (6 chunks by 6 chunks maybe?). If you want to know...

Instead of using the hammer to prospect, I highly suggest and recommend the OD Scanner from IC2, which I believe will scan a 5 block radius for ores, and then as soon as you can, I suggest you upgrade it to the OV Scanner, which can scan a 9-block radius I believe. The OD Scanner never revealed...

Interesting. I've used CoFH command "/clearblocks" to remove all worldgen except for the GT ores, so I could have a look at it, and I never detected any pattern to it (which probably wouldn't be very easy to do just by sight, but still). How do you explain 2 different veins generating in the...

The 3-chunk-guideline isn't very strict, you should think of it more like "on average". On average, you'll get one heads and one tails for every 2 flips of a coin, but that doesn't mean every 2 flips is going to consist of exactly one heads and one tails. Catch my drift? The easiest way to...

Okay, I've never used one, I was only reading from the wiki which was apparently incorrect information. (Edit: Nope, it's my fault, I was reading the Fluid Detector cover instead LOL) But how would bottleneck on the incoming fluid prevent the Turbine from using 25% more fluid for zero power...

Yeah I don't use many barrel upgrades. Generally, when I see 8 regular barrels of Cobblestone, that's my cue (or my clue too) that perhaps it's time to make a few structural upgrades and combine all that junk into one barrel. LOL And if you're short on iron, that can only mean one thing (and...

What does that last sentence mean? What else is involved? All that cover seems to do is emit a redstone signal if there is fluid in the tank (or inverted, if the tank is empty). So my guess is, you're telling us the Turbine should only get fuel pumped into it when the Input Hatch is actually...

yeah lots of questions all the time :) For example... I think I already knew this, but I went into creative to test out enchanting a GregTech sword, and it seems that's not allowed. So, if that is correct, then which is the best sword? Do we stick with Blue Steel just because that gives...

I only made the Cheeseburgers and Pizzas because (no surprise) that's also my favorite foods in real life. I honestly don't even know what a Beef Wellington is. It sounds like something the British Royal family might have for one of their banquets. As you can probably tell, my tastes are not...

I have a feeling that might have been the intent, for the Enderium Plates to act as a locked gateway to the higher storage barrels... but nope, I had made my 6 Plates and was all set to make the two 9-slot upgrades with them yesterday, when I suddenly had a brainstorm and stopped just before I...

oh, one more little tidbit from me... im still using Jabba barrels for high-quantity items like my charcoal, my cobblestone, etc, and the recipe for the 9-slot upgrade requires 6 Enderium Plates. I have 10 Ender Lily plants, so I can easily make Enderium in decent quantity... but I can't seem...

Great stuff code, thanks. A few responses real quick... Forestry Carpenter also makes paper from 2 wood pulp so that's what I've been using. And its too bad hunger isn't an issue in this otherwise "hardmode" pack, because early in my game (I love farming) I made a jabba barrel full of each...

Wow! I guess ignoring certain GT machines for all this time (such as the Sifter) was not the best of ideas. What other machines that I've been ignoring can help me like the Sifter? :D Thanks for the advice. And yeah, now I see why 2 Crackers and 3 Towers might be a good thing. With my...

Great work there codewarrior on that summary. I am confused tho, when you guys talk about "double cracking my Raw Oil". When I go into NEI and get to the Oil Cracker recipes, I only see 2 acceptable input fluids for the Cracker - either Light Fuel or Heavy Fuel. That's it. There's no NEI...

I've been watching Jason McRay's older videos of his play-thru to get tips and tricks and ideas, and yeah I love his Tank Towers, he gave each of his tanks four legs and a hat (roof). :) The problem is definitely space... going upwards isn't an option, cause that's my first floor workshop...

Wow, 3 Distilling Towers and 2 Oil Crackers? That's livin' large. haha But nice spreadsheet, I'm sure I'll be able to glean some things from examining it. For my own setup, which will be the "standard" 2 Towers and 1 Cracker, I'm doing my best to re-route everything out of the second Tower...
