I was using the BBF, so costs for steel plates were very high for me. If steel is cheap then the other way round may be preferable. I'm also still on 5.08 presumably, as machine frames are just 8 plate box and 2 cables.

I made the bending machine first, as that both gave half cost plates, but also gives half cost wires. What exactly are the wrought iron plates going into?

I set up a 256 solar panel farm (~215 EU/t after cable losses during the daytime from my measurements). I haven't noticed any lag from it, and I have only restarted about once a month (although my server is pretty powerful). I'm greatly against the default being easily available energy. I'm...

Huh... very strange then. I didn't see a single malfunction on my machines in about 6 months of heavy use, but then in 2 weeks I have dozens of problems, and overnight about 1/3 of my processing arrays had an issue. Were you always on 3.1.23?

I've just come back on after upgrading to 3.1.23 and leaving my world to run for a few weeks while I was away on business. I noticed a couple of things: My multiblocks all seem to pick up problems now. My 3 EBFs, (which had been running for months previously with no issues, all had...

I managed to test a whole bunch of items before deciding that I couldn't make scrap. Stone dust gives me nothing, cobblestone as you said, I also tried furnaces I believe. Thanks Timeslice for the hint on the enderIO pipes to check if something can be recycled. Much more reliable than throwing...

Aha! Thanks so much, I must have just been pumping in the wrong things, my 131,000 sulfur dust backlog can have a purpose at last!

I'll go one step further and ask how you got scrap. I made 16 gregtech recyclers and tried pumping various items in, but got no scrap from any of them. They weren't in a processing array when I tried. I tried amplifabricators in a processing array (without scrap), and didn't get any production...

Ok, another fusion problem. Can anyone say why I can't sustain Europium fusion? I have a Mk 1 Fusion setup which can sustain helium plasma production. I have 16 LuV energy hatches. There are 4 of the LuV hatches connected to a 16x IV battery buffer via an 8x platinum cable (16 A IV). This...

Fantastic, thanks. I'll be able to give this a try once I can actually log back in. I just logged out, and now (like yesterday evening) I'm getting "authentication servers are down" messages when attempting to log in.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to generate power from plasma? Which turbine do I need to build, what rotor and how do I calculate flow rates?

I finally upgraded from 3.1.7 to 3.1.21. It seems that all the nuclear fuel recipes can now only use the IC2 uranium and plutonium blobs, and the GT ingot forms are gone. Is this intentional? I've also just started to try replicators, but I can't get the recyclers to produce any scrap for...

Plutonium 244 is no longer generated in the world. This change happened a few versions back. I still get some that was generated in chunks created back then, but none otherwise. The Division sigil is obtained from defeating the Wither.

No, you can have mixtures of cell types. Logistics supplier pipes with the placement upgrade can place a specific type of item in to a specific slot. I had a few teething troubles setting up a logistics pipe system, (I used the wrong power adapter and couldn't get an ME interface to provide my...

Well this gives me cause for concern...

I've run into an issue with a stirling generator setup, does anyone have any insight? I have an IC2 fluid nuclear reactor putting out ~900 HU/s (certainly no higher than 950 as far as I can see). This is fed into an assembly of 10 IC2 Liquid heat exchangers (each with 10 heat conductors). Each...

Ok, so this is a thematic change, rather than a balance change. I can live with that.

What is the reasoning behind this change? This would seem to make it very difficult to auto craft things that use these types of crystals?

You can centrifuge saltpeter from soul sand. If you want large quantities of gunpowder, I would strongly recommend alchemical duplication. You can create vast quantities of gunpowder from common renewable materials that way, and rather quickly.

Making coolant requires the IC2 fluid/solid canning machine (not just any normal canning machine). This machine is still enabled. You also need to click a button in the GUI to set it to "enrich" mode. I think you need to power it by attaching an IC2 transformer to a GT cable. Make sure to use...
