I really need to make a video of my golem+cc sorting system prototype to show people. You can do exactly this only without tubes. The principle is that you place chests next to a CC sorter with golems waiting on each side. The golems are set to move any item to a specific color. The bottom pass...

My understanding is it still doubles your ore, but you have a 10% with gold to get rich slag which can triple ores in the machine when applied with the right source metal. So you can spike ore production when you need to. TBH I care less about experience capture on smelting now that I have a...

Interesting. I mean with forestry you have an infinite demand for dirt and possibly sand, and the discussion on using Lava as a battery means that cobble is easily converted into lava for storage (not to mention obsidian manufacture). I haven't played with the TE induction smelter though. I...

Man does everyone have dense ores but me? Sigh. Anyways I switched to using an Infernal Furnace with 3x bellows for the smelting portion of my system. This is an amazing setup: fairly fast, HUGE multi-type buffer, clusters give >2x returns, and most importantly you get to keep the smelting...

Huh. I experimented with charge pads and MPS and it didn't seem to work...

Ugh. I don't have an external mic and I'm not sure I want one. It'd be a grim audio scene.

Let me do the qsuit breakdown: Helmet: Currently nothing replaces the most powerful feature of the quantum: 0 status effects. Evidently some people feel that's OP. It does have underwater breathing and some superior utility options (thaumcraft hud, newest version has night vision). Body: With...

This is not the conversation. There is a whole thread for that topic.

I definitely don't want to talk about that here. It's more an observation that IC2 is increasingly becoming a very specialized niche in the modpack. I wonder if MPS capabilities and features would make a good thread on its own. I definitely found some interesting combinations. I sort of want...

The MPS multitool is as good as any drill out there, although a tiny bit more expensive. The Thaum tools can get repair, which actually makes them lower maintenance than any of the existing tools. They also are much easier to enchant (books still work, but they can get multiples on the table)...

Firstly, let's please not devolve into a macerator vs. pulverizer argument again. Please. That said, onward: Direwolf20's pack seems to be slowly but surely drifting away from needing IC2. The big benefit of that tech tree used to be that it had flat out superior armor, tools and energy...

Isn't the liquid transposer plenty fast for this? Seems like a fairly compact and powerful setup is capable with emerald pipes, autarchic gates, an aqueous accumulator, and a liquid transposer.

You can also use golems. Golems do this really well.

Hah, I hadn't though about the energy density of steam as a storage medium... Storing steam is a really interesting call for a massive iron tank. Of course, it's really nice to have 5-10 redstone energy cells tapped on your power network ready to bleed out power if you're gone for a few days and...

As anyone running a server will tell you, this is not true. Config synching is a major headache.

Yeah but before the speed at which you could pipe didn't really stop the things I had from spilling. The new gates easily keep up with it. No more tree farm wood spilling everywhere!

So what you're saying is, "Everything went better than expected." Because I sure am happy about how I can use the new gates connected to a void pipe to keep inventories from spilling.

I can't help but wonder if they're really gonna stick to that decision as time goes on, though. The entire set of assumptions that Gregtech seems to have been based off of are in flux now, it seems. Resource limitation and gating has proven over and over again to be a poor treadmill, whereas...

A* vs. a recursive descent parser. The former ought to be faster, because there is less state. Fun fact: the two operations are related.

Depends on how you deploy it. I sort of envisioned a circular wall of deployers running continuously on the output of a quarry. That'd add up fast. :)
