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

    Ooh! Finally a use for these. The black granite doesn't look too bad if you make it into bricks, but other than that I've mostly found both granite types to be a nuisance due to their reliance on tier 3 pickaxes.

    I plan to build a SAG mill shortly (after all I need to power something with all this Hootch my MFR tree farm has produced by way of apples), but for Silicon I just go to a Mesa biome, gather an inventory full of hardened clay, macerate it, and run the clay dust through electrolyzer. All the...

    Progress was made Yesterday I was having problems with charging the IC2 jetpack. Today I'm sporting Advanced Nanosuit Armor. Time flies :) Now once my lag clears I can use it to go to the nether and collect enough glowstone and ash (for coal->coal blocks) so I can actually finish my...

    batbox looked pretty cheap to make so I just went for it and made it on the server, and it worked great. Thanks again!

    So I built an electric jetpack that I'll eventually install in my advanced nano body armor (little broke on resources right now though). I can charge my nano armor in a HV battery buffer just fine it seems. But I can't charge the jetpack in any GT device from what I can tell. I'm in the...

    I can certainly see how this would add to the challenge. Not my server and not my choice though, so I'll take advantage of the infinite water while the water's infinite :) I managed to completely finish the rebuild of my "factory" in my base after the explosion 2 days ago. I even built a RC...

    I'm currently running a Large Bronze Boiler, 2 little HP boilers, 2 LP steam boiles, 2 MFR tree farms, an EnderIO vat, and a couple of EnderIO tanks that I use next to my cauldrons instead of having 2x2 infinite water pools around. All of this is powered by a single BC pump powered by 4...

    Awesome info. With help from you folks in this thread I might actually be able to show up the guy who runs the server I play on a little bit. Up until very recently I've just been copying whatever he does as he progresses as he's played GT before and is also an electrical engineer. He's been...

    Aw, man. The clay for that extra 1 coke oven is almost a deal breaker :P Do you run your setup with a RC boiler to generate nominal steam for everyday machine usage and then kick in the tungstonsteel boiler when you're running heavy usage, or are you just on the tungstonsteel? Also, at what...

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

    Ok, I'll check into that. Alternatively I could just get off my keister and build and pipe up the other 13 coke ovens I'd need to hit the magic 30 coke oven number (at least I think 30 is the magic number) to just run a RC LP boiler non-stop. I think my extra large MFR tree farm ought to be...

    Nice base Miguk. Thanks for sharing. I like how compact you manage to pack your equipment in. And for question time. Is there a reasonable way to monitor the fullness of RC iron tanks? I'd like to see about checking my steam tank and if it's below 70% full kicking on some boilers to refill...

    Well, I was having some problems getting my MV to HV transformer working correctly. I kept burning wires up because I'd accidentally reverse the transformer and overload the circuit path. After a few fires is when I started remodeling to make more room. It's entirely possible I made a mistake...

    All of my boilers are continuously fed water through quartz BC pipes, I have a hard time believing it was a boiler. Judging by the most central point of the crater it was probably electrical, perhaps something to do with a transformer. My EBF was running at the time processing aluminum, but it...

    I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I almost cried. That hole that my buddy is looking down into is approximately where 30 pieces of my LV and MV equipment sat up until about 30 minutes ago.

    I'm well into the MV stage now and I'm doing more things that require and produce gasses. Right now I'm using EnderIO tanks to store gas and move things around, which work great but only 16000Mb each. I thought of making a few RC iron tanks along a wall and using EnderIO conduits to fill them...

    Maybe I'll just build a full set of nano armor to play with. I've been more interested in thaumcraft and bees the last few days, but I did finally finish my MFR tree farm last night so that I don't have to manually harvest trees every 5 minutes to feed my coke ovens. Now that I've got an...

    I'm working towards building a larger RC boiler, but I haven't found a nether fortress yet. Reading through online documentation it would seem I should be able to collect Cinderpearl and craft it to blaze powder, however this doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing this function of Thaumcraft is...

    Ok, well I was using 1x tin cable so that's probably the issue. I currently have a RC Steam Tank outputting to a GT Large Bronze Steam Pipe directly into the LV Steam Turbine (just 1 pipe). Then from the ST I had 1x tin cable going to my plate bender, wire mill, assembly machine, and fluid...

    Does anyone have a good video for electricity similar to what Chloe did for GT fluid pipes? My wiring keeps starting on fire every time I add a new machine:( (I'm going through the LV stage now)

    Our server is running InfiTech 2, so there probably is a destruction pickaxe among other things that I had no clue even existed. However, right now I'm still trying to conserve resources so I'm mostly using stone picks for general use and saving the level 2 and level 3 picks for ore that only...
