He doesn't want to automate anything though. ;) He wants to be able to switch the whole complex off and on with a single lever. If the generators were smart enough to stop when their internal buffer fills up, then that could be achieved by toggling the cells, but according to his test that...

Or you could just deactivate the transfer node together with the redstone cells without requiring any of that! ...But that would still not solve the issue with the generators continuing to run even when the transfer node is off. Do the generators really not obey redstone, not even optionally? I...

I actually have no idea... :oops:

It gives you an appropriately disgusting feeling in your hands when holding the tool, just in time for halloween. :D

Have you tested whether or not the generators themselves respond to redstone? If so, you could rig all of them them and the energy cells together to one single lever. It can be done even with vanilla redstone but it'll be somewhat elaborate (involving underground wiring and plenty of repeaters)...

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with ExtraUtilities generators, so I can't tell you anything about that. You'll have to try it out, or hope for someone with more experience with that mod.

The most obvious solution here is to turn off the energy cells. Like all TE machinery, they can be configured to respond to redstone signals (and do so by deafult, IIRC). Since they're sitting so conveniently spaced apart by three blocks, that's the perfect spot to put a lever. Like so: [energy...

He doesn't need to simulate that... because the visible world eventually ends when there are no more chunks being loaded, you can already see "past the world" when you are really high up :P

That should be visual only, then. The power should not be lost, it simply goes into spinning the flywheel. Because the flywheel has such a large capacity, brief upward spikes are not noticable and in the grand scheme of things will get cancelled out by brief downward drops. Precisely as it is...

For starters, assign less memory. If you're in singleplayer, try 1.5GB max. A client connecting to a server can almost always get away with 1GB just fine. I recommend only raising this (in 0.5GB increments) if you get an actual heap space crash. Want to see how that feels and how the crashlog...

Oh right, solar towers! I totally forgot about those. That explains why I couldn't come up with any engines that have fluctuating output. As for the shaft junction thing... hmmm. That would only work if flywheels output a fixed torque at all speeds, even if the engine driving it has less than...

So you use it like an industrial coil, then? But then, what keeps you from just using an industrial coil and storing far more power, without any explosion hazard, having the ability to output completely custom power profiles and the ability to mine it and carry it around with you in charged...

Calling the Rotarycraft brigade! Let's see if I can get info on some slightly more obscure topics ;) - In a shaft power bus, I need to place gear or shaft units to define an output side and its behavior. Do those have to be steel gears/shafts specifically, or can I use other materials? --- If I...

If you want to continue breeding it, it's useful to purify the traits, because it removes the chance that you lose the trait again in later generations. If you want to use it as it is in your tree farm, it doesn't matter so long as everything you want is the active trait.

Alright, I'm going to give that a try later when I restart the server. I know it doesn't work with every mod, but a test can't hurt.

Well, I do have WAILA, and mousing over the gravestones clearly says "OpenBlocks". :P

How can I disable gravestones on player death in OpenBlocks? It's buggy as hell and has caused my players and I to lose a far greater number of valuable items than we would have with regular old vanilla item spills. I looked at the config file, and it says "B:enableGraves=false". But if it's...

Quick query - do the radiation goggles from Reactorcraft have a recipe yet? I'm running v25z and am not seeing one, but I found posts stating that this is a problem with an outdated version... posted before v25z even existed.

Not quite sure what you're asking here, but in regards to estimating/extrapolating output... - If all factories are identical, you need to test only one of them because the results are automatically valid for all others as well. - Next, to figure out how long it needs to run to produce a useful...

I'm currently building one. It's taking a good amount of work (and smoothstone) but I've set the altar up in T4 configuration below, so it'll be a permanent thing and probably useful in the long run. EDIT: Mobspawner complete. It is absolutely, utterly ridiculous. I was worried about getting 30...
