    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    worldgen is the worst troll in the game by far. I like setting up in plains type areas. spawn in mountains/snow/other/water, no plains/reasonably flat, clear areas/LAND anywhere on minimap. walk for a few days, still nothing. time to delete and restart. gotten into terrafirmacraft a bit lately...

    Really stupid things that people have said about Modded MC(Off topicness makes moderators tired)

    guess I shouldn't show them the rotarycraft extractor then. and @Reika likes poking as idiots. like the one who tries to run a modded server on 500kbs. IIRC, he was laughed out of an IRC channel by other modders for mentioning his multi-million RF usage.

    Anyone else watching the MC "Snapshots"?

    I try to keep up with the snapshots, but with the forum "revamp" it got harder for me thanks to the removal of the news feed showing the latest 3 articles. also rather dislike the removal of the "first unread" functionality. that, along with menu changes, makes my bookmarks and subscribes nearly...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    2,097,152 rad/s is actually only 333,772.107 rev/sec. faster than modern flywheel storage units (200K), jet engines(190K), or turbochargers (can hit 290 according to Wikipedia), but slower than a dentists drill (800K) linear velocity of outer edge greatly exceeds sound barrier. will cause fun...

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    in monster, you can still use the accelerators on stuff from rotary/reactor craft. 256x accelerator on a centrifuge and that thing probably outputs at 1 tick per op. even without the accelerator, 10 million rad/s and 1 million N/m basically maxes it out. go higher, power received overflows into...

    Pebble Bed Setup?

    its more noticeable if you have more boilers not in direct contact with the exchanger. and its not generally enough to push you below a productive value, but CAN be used to keep things from blowing apart. for example, mine is arranged as such: AXXAXXA XBBXBBX XBBEBBX XBBXBBX AXXAXXA B boiler X...

    How to produce massive RF?

    wooow. all that work. . . all that space. . . for the aptly named "big reactors" I have an 8 core pebble bed from reactorcraft feeding 4 water-fed turbines or one HP and the multiblock generator for about 750K RF/t. I can double that if I feed ammonia to the small turbines. thats 1.5 MILLION...

    Pebble Bed Setup?

    i have an 8 core setup (just your setup, stacked) running two heat exchangers and 4 groups of 6 boilers for 4 turbines (with some steam buildup), or one HP (since this version of monster is before reika put a minimum steam input level on the HP) for about 750K RF/t. if I use ammonia in the...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    reika has said the default cut radius is 30. still a c***ton of wood, but *shouldn't* crash out. someone test.

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    looking at the past page, I can say that any decent high school or intro college physics course easily take care of the pre-reqs for easy understanding of the mod. for that matter, 30 minutes on Wikipedia looking at the subject would probably work. then again, I am saddened by the number of...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    well, heard of it long ago, found it a while back on tvtropes, found its wiki two days ago, got the basic game yesterday, picked up a modded version + texture pack today. give it up for DWARF FORTRESS. complex as heck, but awesome fun. (the normal fun, not game-ending "fun", though I fully...

    Massive EU production

    what modpack is this, and what do you have in it? if you have rotarycraft/reactorcraft/big reactors and powerconverters, do the following: rotarycraft reactor, any of them, or a decent size big reactor and its turbine. turn into RF (for the rotarycraft ones), run through a power converter...

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    if you have Geostrata, and until it gets broken, stick a tile accelerator next to the centrifuge and uranium processor. incredibly slow x256 = incredibly FAST. do not let it touch a pipe, that seemed to delete the contents when I did it.

    Best Melee Weapon (Damage) in Monster

    lower mass, so for the same energy expenditure in launch, velocity is higher. and since energy delivered depends on the SQUARE of the velocity. . . sledgehammer vs. bullet.

    Extra Credits has a video up on youtube that discusses how minecraft is impacting the game industry. check it out: EC is awesome!

    Power generation - the next stage?

    yep. 8 core PBR, feeding 4x6 boilers piping into a HP turbine/turbine generator will spit out ~4.2GW and 750k RF/t. the first version I built, prior to the HP turbine, was able to run 4x small turbines at max, for ~3.8 GW (950MW per turbine) output and moderate steam buildup. double that if I...

    100k rfpt big reactor

    you probably need another 4-5 turbines. my "little" 8-core pebblebed feeding two heat exchangers and 4x6 boilers will feed 4 small turbines at near max, with some steam buildup. ~3.8-4.0 GW. dumping all four groups into a HP turbine shows its true output is actually ~4.2GW, or roughly 750K...

    Roguelike Dungeon, or my new house!

    how much iron you got? any serious dive into RoC and co. means that you are probably sinking every scrap of iron you dig up into RoC and machines and reactor parts, at least until that extractor gets going and you start some REAL automining.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    a problem easily solved by a high-school level physics class. or an introductory classical physics course in college. mine names it, rather unimaginatively, Physics 1 for the first semester which is the mechanical physics. 2nd semester (Physics 2) is electric fields, circuits, magnetic fields...
