    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    You rang? I overbuilt a Big Reactor (passive cooled) on the Volition Gaming server which runs flat out at: at more conservative fuel consumption: It's 20x20x12 outside dimension with liquid ender cooling. I have no use for the power, it's just that @Staxed kept one-upping my BigReactor's...

    Agrarian Skys help, venting, and discussion thread

    Because you're supposed to make some ladders and climb to the top of the tree and clear it downwards. Should involve zero jumps. Leaf blocks won't decay until you break their connection to other leaf blocks and/or wood so just walk around on the top and clear the tree level by level until...

    Two modpacks, one server?

    Funny meeting you here. Well at least it saves me from directing you to the thread! :D

    Against the ropes.. RR vs Monster

    Only true if you're willing to waste gobs and gobs of power. Stages 2&3 require almost no torque, so providing them with high speed at stage one torque is incredibly wasteful. But yes, you're correct. A very high speed power source at 512τ would work too. :D

    Against the ropes.. RR vs Monster

    One CVT isn't really enough for maximum processing speed. I use three. I don't think you actually do understand, or maybe you are working with insufficient information (no insult intended!). In my world I have one RotaryCraft extractor feeding TWO Mek Elite smelters (with full speed and...

    What is YOUR most important mod?

    Yep, started with RR but our community didn't want all of RR or all of Monster. We've got some of both. Good stuff Sent from my brain using neurons

    What is YOUR most important mod?

    Yes, check it out. I started on it a few months ago after watching Ako use it during his Resonant Rise series. I like it so much I have the cape! :) I encouraged its inclusion in our server pack and it has made several converts. It's a push and rush for Mek jetpack and atomic disassembler...

    Useful Computer Craft programs..

    You think a guy might mention that to people on his server or something... :D

    Useful Computer Craft programs..

    No need for a program. Turtle movement controls are built-in to the shell via the "go" command. > go fd 3 lt fd 2 rt back 4 "Go forward 3, turn left, forward 2, turn right, go back 4" you can also put numbers on the lt/rt. > go lt 2 Will turn the turtle 180 degrees.

    Help with Wither Battle Area

    Sure, but if it works in vanilla it's a pretty safe bet it will work even better in modded Minecraft. And the long tunnel at bedrock (especially if done away from normally loaded chunks) is nearly a zero-cost/zero-risk method. Compare that to the warded stone, MFFS, even compressed cobble...

    Because this exactly: What a time saver!

    Help with Wither Battle Area

    Why fight in an overworld structure at all? Just use the vanilla method of a long tunnel (one wide by two high) at bedrock level, assemble the Wither at the far end of the tunnel (dumping a bucket of water on its head after placing the last skull) and retreating down the tunnel. Run forward...

    Should ic2 be boycotted untill the power system is fixed ??

    Oh yeah. Mostly 'C' almost never anything lower level than that unless I have to deal with a bare board that has no board support package and I need to cobble together a crt0.s file to initialize the hardware enough such that there's a stack at which point 'C' can run. Very rare in my environment.

    Should ic2 be boycotted untill the power system is fixed ??

    LOL I did say "programmer mode" I write low-level software for hardware (think firmware / device driver kind of code) so powers of two math is second nature for me. Of course I cut my assembly language teeth on PDP-11 when men were men and programmers used octal!

    Should ic2 be boycotted untill the power system is fixed ??

    Everything before 16 is a factor of 16. Everything past 16 has 16 as a factor. programmer mode: 4096 * 4 = 4K * 4 = (2^10 * 2^2) * 2^2 = 2^10 * 2^4 = 16K RotaryCraft is very power-of-two math friendly. Convert to power-of-two and then add/subtract exponents as needed.

    mekanism ore processing plant

    More flint would probably help as well. Also consider speed upgrades; the O2 seems to be consumed time-wise, not based on ore quantity. At least it seemed that both my O2 and flint consumption went way down when I upgraded my factory's speed (x8). For both flint and dirt (and many other...
