Yes. And early/mid-game it makes a LOT more sense to just build a few smaller reactors rather than try and manage a big one. If you're using GregTech, then thorium reactors are like slightly more expensive LV solar panels. Clever designs integrate depleted and non-depleted uranium cells to...

Yeah, I heard that this was the actual reason for them to exist.

Actually quartz is more useful than people might think in the more recent updates. I use a lot of mine: Simple trashcan. Same principle as cactus, but even safer and easier. Low-level light. A few of these and you're just above monster spawning levels. Ideal for low-light crops. Liquid...

Yes. He posted the code in his thread. They iterate across the length of the lightning rod on updates during thunderstorms. If you build many lightning rods you will be sad. The cost is in your server's tickrate. Building several of them will add up.

Wrong forum, but I'm going to be helpful because I bet you do not have a crash report. I bet you just freeze up and have to force quit. Try increasing your permgen size. The default on OSX is too low for modded minecraft and causes problems shortly after launch. The command line argument is...

Too laggy. They're crazy laggy.

Spelling mistakes that occur in this post should be attributed to my phone... As soon as you get Xycraft machines you will feel frustrated you don't have enough. Black and white xychorium bricks look good enough and prevserve mob spawn. Ideal base building materials. Blue xychorium is...

Yeah I just cannot imagine that going well.

I've sort of been avoiding discussing that until my villager auto-breeder is done. :) I kinda think the minefactory stuff ranges from "really cool" to "lolforestry, your metagame has been outplayed".

Protip from experience: do not put multiblock structures from thaumcraft onto frames. It is unwise in the extreme for your server. There's also a little surprise waiting for those of you who do it wrong with the infernal furnace.

Probably Sugarcane into fermenters into biomass into biofuel into a boiler. It really is stunning how much one fermenter can do if given a constant supply of things. If I recall correctly, you'd mold up wheat to make mulch for the fermenter, and you'd push the canes directly in. But honestly...

I wanna say 3-5 seconds for flux? I'm fairly certain it's random.

The REC is necessary, but maybe is too cheap. The Energy Tesseracts are a whole different steam engine.

Wow. I've had it happen twice and not lost inventory. I just had cobble pipe legs and my armor in my hand until I relogged.

They can sometimes still be buggy. But afaik the bug is simply cosmetic; relogging fixes it. Evidently it has something to do with wrath lamps, according to Direwolf20's mod spotlight.

Thaumcraft research does it. You can force vis into the environment, and also recapture excess and re-release it. Or also generating new distant chunks. See, thaumcraft doesn't care if a chunk is loaded, but the entire universe isn't accessible until the chunks are generated. My understanding...

The infernal furnace's flux output is trivial to manage, as is its vis consumption. You do need to petty much finish all of TC's tier 3 research to do so, however. And the idea that vis is not renewable is wrong. It's renewable via a few different ways. What I don't get is how you'd actually...

Efficiency on materials investment? Weird question. If it saves you in-game resources over the long term who cares if you're using purpose-built systems?

We are in a mixed-mod world. Consider routers from Factorization and how they could interact with this.

Especially once you can quickly produce big sums of aluminium and lithium for the MFE component, the MFSU becomes crazy cheap. You can increase the efficiency of your lapis by grinding then compressing to plates. I guess this process is even fancier in newer Gregtech releases.
