    Best energy sources?

    Early game I used to use survivalist generators, but I have learned the Ender IO sterling is a better choice, with the same characteristic of being able to direct connect without cable/conduit. Mid game is a passive BR reactor. You can make as small as a 1 core very cheap that puts out over...

    Request Yellorium Problem

    I have not yet delved in to Ludicrite coils for turbines but you have just re-energized my game, thanks :). I also have not tried the MFR boilers so I may look in to that. Are you still only using 5 boilers?

    Does anybody have any info on Thermal Dynamics?

    Nerfing Tesseracs to require power?!!!! Think about that for a minute. Tesseracs harness the teleportation essence of Endermen. This essence can be inferred to already have an integral infinite power source that fuels the teleportation ability. If anything, the Tesserac should have the ability...

    Industrialcraft - Setting up machines properly ....

    So more than one nuke running caused a glitch? I was running 2 reactors at the same time when my base was cratered. I wonder if multiple IC reactors was the problem.

    Industrialcraft - Setting up machines properly ....

    I have no idea how. I just know it can. A mod glitching is not an unusual occurrence by any stretch. However a reactor glitching has much more dire consequences than an item duct glitching. One will simply litter the area with items, the other will leave a big radioactive crater. Which brings me...

    Request Yellorium Problem

    While I can appreciate using diverse sources of steam, those sources require an alternate fuel source which requires an additional factory setup for a farm etc. as stated above, whereas a reactor making steam to power turbines that power quarries is a self sustaining loop since the quarry will...

    Request Yellorium Problem

    You may also want to try running a BC quarry to bedrock once or twice just to bump up your yellorium supply.

    Request Yellorium Problem

    Uranium can be turned into yellorium simply by placing it in a barrel of yellorium. You can also use blutonium as fuel. Once you run a quarry to bedrock once you should have all the yellorium you need.

    RFTools mod just starting to explore, any tips?

    So I keep finding these dimlets everywhere and decided to see what they were for. Made the books and planning to make the researcher and go from there. I see theres a few machines, not sure how useful they are. Any tips or tricks for this mod?

    Industrialcraft - Setting up machines properly ....

    There is in fact a very real chance that a "safe" reactor can meltdown. I personally had my base cratered by a very safe reactor that I had built several times. I had a lot of fun playing with the reactors up until the meltdown. But really, reactors can't touch solar for power, safety and lack...

    Industrialcraft - Setting up machines properly ....

    Big banks of generators is the way I usually started. I would have a tree farm feeding coal powered generator banks making 200 eu/t, then graduate to geothermal, then the oil/fuel powered etc then on to the bigger solar units which i preferred over nukes. Beware the nukes turning your base in to...

    Does anybody have any info on Thermal Dynamics?

    This seems a bit overly critical. What I mean is, most machines irl can take inputs and outputs from a single side due to the fact that power/fluid pipes and conduit etc usually have a very small cross section in relation to the machine. I personally find IO's solution to be both practical and...

    DW20: JABBA & Itemtuct system getting clogged?

    Do you mean you cant get them to work? They are direction oriented which is accessed from the GUI. The GUI can be a bit tricky to access when you click the the flange that is created when you attach the pipe. There are also filter upgrades etc. I've actually never had the IO conduit have issues...

    DW20: JABBA & Itemtuct system getting clogged?

    ender IO item conduit is by far the best, but expensive. There is also extra utilities pipes. TE ducts are great earlygame and short run etc, but as soon as it gets complex they get glitchy.

    DW20: JABBA & Itemtuct system getting clogged?

    As much as I am glad to see itemducts back, they still have the same glitchy problems they had before when you start running a bunch of them to multiple inventories, in particular barrels. One of those glitches is being manifested in the fact you can see inside the duct where it connects to the...

    What is better Wyvern armor or quantum armor

    There are many types of flight that are the same as creative (as in there is little to no altitude loss unless you press down key). I'm almost positive the quantum armor flight mechanic is one of them, however there is no way I'm going to go through the abuse of IC requirements now to get it to...

    What is better Wyvern armor or quantum armor

    The jetpack controls were not easy to figure out for the Quantum armor. I had to google it. In fact, if you google quantum armor jetpack controls you will see it did indeed have flight at one time, and I'm sure it still does. However the headaches to get to that point are not worth it for me...

    Big Reactors Steam Turbines Loose Speed Engaged

    XU with upgrades or tesseracts to move fluids. Tesseracts look a lot cleaner than pipes imo and you can put them anywhere. I've tried ports top sides side by side opposite ends and it doesn't matter they work the same so if you put the ports and tesseracts on top it looks really clean. I also...

    Thanks Pad and Fyber for responding. Guess I'm going to bed.

    Cant play offline?

    Well I think I know why it was crashing. I'm not offline I'm on a network that doesn't allow gaming. However I put the laptop in airplane mode and now it gives error minecraft servers down.
