    Distribute rotarycraft power evenly?

    Shaft power bus and controller are the best for this. Set up the shaft power bus controller so that it is receiving power and supply it with lubricant via a pipe or fluiduct. Then attach shaft power buses to any output of the controller or each other (I use a straight line). Next, craft as...

    RC Questions

    Not really, unless I misunderstood you. Machines produce a specific power, which is the product of their torque and speed. If you need to provide a different torque or speed, you can use a gearbox to modify engine output by multiplying torque or speed at the expense of the other. I'm not...

    [Solved] MineFactory - Harvester only idle

    I have many harvesters outputting directly to unpowered itemducts set to extract mode.... no problems whatsoever. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    RC Questions

    Torque is not power. Torque times speed is power. Colloquial language (high torque machines are 'more powerful') isn't exact with respect to the engineering units. RotaryCraft is a bit off reality in that most engines have a power curve such that they generate optimum power at some speed...

    [Solved] MineFactory - Harvester only idle

    I run into stuck harvesters if the extraction method is full or if there is no valid destination for the items. For example, if you have a barrel of wood and a barrel of saplings, when the harvester gets an apple, it has no place to put it, so the apple hangs up in the harvester's inventory...

    Would you build this?

    Why did CO2 not go into a railcraft iron tank when connected to the side of a valve? Hmmm.... I will verify tonight. Thank you for the input. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Would you build this?

    Negative. Did not work. I saw the glass panes-as-lids yesterday, so no worries. I'm thinking the gas ducts are the limitation here. For some reason they are not outputting correctly. My hunch is that they are not designed to recognize cross-mod storage devices. I will try fluiducts next. What...

    Solved Thermal Expansion 70,000+ u/s cause TPS drop, HELP!!!

    Stuffed itemducts cause TPS issues on my server all the time. The most common culprit is itemducts moving wood from a DSU to Redstone furnaces. Even if we use servos to reduce output to 1 item, over time they get severely stuffed (we're talking 20,000+ items) and wreck TPS. I have mandated AE...

    Would you build this?

    Thanks for the help. I had a gas duct connected to the top of one block and glass panes covering all other tops. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Would you build this?

    Reika, I can't find your general Reactor Craft thread, so I'm asking here. When capturing CO2 from the gas collectors, I am using your gas ducts. Is there a container that will hold CO2? I attempted to pipe it into a Railcraft tank, an Extra Utils drum, an AE Extra Cells fluid import bus, and...

    Solved Server Crash Loop

    Try without MCPC? Update your MCPC server version to the latest 1.6.4 release? The crash appears to have something to do with MCPC and logging. Try the FTB default .jar and see if it stabilizes? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Best Bedrock-Breaker Setup?

    One hydrokinetic at bedrock level and one gearbox with the right ratio to provide minimum torque. Lubricate both (I used a drum and fluiducts). Now use diamond shaftd and bevel gears to get the power to the breaker. Make some extra shafts/gears so you can keep moving the breaker around. Sent...

    Thanks! I couldn't come up with the right search terms to find a design. You know you're in trouble when you can't even remember what something is called! I'll have to sketch up a logic circuit later. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    How could i export all geostrata rocks out...

    Me interface with GeoStrata stones in the export positions. Use an unpowered itemduct set to red arrow (extract) and right click crescent hammer the interface until the mini arrow points at the itemduct attached side. Repeat with as many ME interfaces as you need. Precision export buses would...

    "Sticks & Starships": an upcoming voxel game with some links to FTB / Tekkit

    A lot of gamers are inherently suspicious because 'Early Access' or 'Proof-of-concept' became 'pay me now for a hamburger on Tuesday', and a lot of the early access games had a fantastic proposed feature set, but when they were released, they had a very barebones feature set. There's also been...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    RotaryCraft and Redstone question: When powering the extractor, I feed it 16-67 MW heavily geared for speed. I use redstone signals to switch CVT modes so they power stages 1 and 4, then 2 and 3 as fast as possible. The problem is that stages 2 and 3 backlog and result in stage 1 then...

    FYI: New TE3 addon called "Simply Jetpacks"

    I always hated having to go into IC2 because its electric jetpack was the best this side of MPS. I also was sad that GraviSuite isn't in all the packs. I love RotaryCraft, but its jetpack is really, really poor in control compared to IC2. Hopefully this addon gives IC2-like jetpack...

    reactor craft and rotary craft (mild rant)

    Rotary Steam -> Diffuser -> OreDict Steam? You could even make it so the diffuser has to be cooled as well. Then you could set via config the conversion amount to give yourself the desired loss of efficiency Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    What plugins can - and should - I use?

    Server Tools is a Forge mod that will do automated backups. It takes very little configuration and doesn't require MCPC. You should be able to configure the restarts externally, either with a Cron job (linux) or a Windows service. Not sure of a minecraft mod that does auto restarts. Your...
