    School For RolePlay

    The Forgotten walked the halls of the Institute in silence. He tried to speak to one or two of the stoic guards, but when they looked at him, a quizzical look covered their face and they slowly looked away. His last words had been screamed into one of the ubiquitous cameras, but his violent...

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    No, it only happens on programs that have loops. They work for a while then I get a lag spike and they break. It might work if I change the sleep commands to pause for 10 seconds since that should put the sleep outside of most lag, but that ruins the point of running turtles.

    I don't know if you've checked out Rotarycraft, but it's power system is similar to that idea. I haven't tried it extensively, though. Of course, it uses kiloWatts and torque. The energy in a power line is measured in rad/s which is how quickly the shaft or flywheel spins. kiloWatts is how much...

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    I don't use turtles. My computer is so bad that Computercraft throws "failure to yield" errors no matter what program or peripheral I'm using. I could probably use them on a server, since the server would be handling the processing load, but I just haven't gotten into SMP yet.

    Not really. If you read the very first part of the TiC post on MC Forums, it says that TiC is being designed with adventure maps in mind. The idea behind drawbridges fits incredibly well with that.

    Looking for a new modpack!

    First Xycraft is not going to be updated for 1.5.2. In fact, it was always planned to skip to 1.6, so that's out unless you're willing to wait a few more months. Other than that, the modpack you are looking for is Resonant Rise. https://plus.google.com/communities/109856948017213754039 That's...

    TiC drawbridges. They hold an inventory of blocks and deploy them in a straight line when powered by redstone. Removing the power causes them to retract. You can literally make drawbridges and gates and mining platforms, etc. What Poppycocks is talking about is putting a drawbridge with a...

    Video games bring out the latent hoarder in all of us. I have a hard time getting rid of cobblestone, much less a chance at nether stars or portal guns or ingots or...um, yeah. Also, someone will invent a way to automate them someday. And when they do, I will be ready...

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    Here's the thing, though. I have reduced my AE system to a Controller, Drive, and Interface. I don't even use it for true storage. All of my stuff goes into DSUs for permanent storage. The things that don't fit into DSUs will either go into AE for hand-processing(Loot Bags are the worst offender...

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    If your requesting machine and item source are too far from each other, the network will continue sending items until the request has been filled. This can cause extra items to be in transit after the request has been filled. The extra items will still go to the inventory that had requested...

    Cost of all the diamonds in the MC world

    Not even real diamonds are worth that much. The prices are kept artificially inflated by keeping as much diamonds off-market as possible while keeping pace with demand. Also, if you were to introduce even a single diamond block to the real world market, diamond prices would probably be cut by...

    OOC: No one ever replies to my posts. That's how Marshall became the Forgotten. He did his experiments and no one acknowledged him. Believe it or not, that isn't a complaint. I've enjoyed writing from the perspective of someone who has been pushed to the side and, seemingly, forgotten. It's a...

    The Logistics Crafting Table works just fine for me. You're not trying to use Buildcraft Automatic Crafting Table with LP, are you?

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    Place an ME Interface halfway between your LP and AE networks. Connect the Interface to your AE network. Connect the Interface to your LP network with a Request Pipe on one face and a Provider Pipe on another. Now, your networks are connected. You can pull anything from either network with a...

    Alternate personalities are an extremely rare symptom of schizophrenia. Typically, alternate personalities that occur as a result of psychological trauma fall under dissociative identity disorder. Schizophrenia presents with auditory hallucinations, severe paranoia with delusions of conspiracies...

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    I can't get it to work in my current experiments. The problem is that I deleted the world I had it going in because of the GT debacle. It will probably be days before I figure it out again, since I was running a self-made RR pack with a healthy dose of other mods I felt like throwing in there. I...

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    I'm running into a block with my vanilla ender chest. I swear I had it working like I said in my last world, but I deleted it after the GT debacle. Now, I can't replicate that specific functionality. I'm going to stop banging my head against a wall over it right now and just put up the rest of...

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    I'll have to build something in creative since my survival build is mostly underground and setup for efficiency rather than display. I'll post pictures since I don't have video capabilities. Here's the basic idea behind my integration, though. The vanilla Ender Chest acts as a supplier for my...

    Logistics Pipes Vs. Applied Energistics

    Use both. I put this in another thread, but I'll go ahead and repeat it here. AE is far superior in autocrafting and compactness. Logistics Pipes give you all the fine control over inventory levels that AE is sorely missing. LP does have the significant drawback of requiring individual...
