    any way to 'load balance' items properly between 2 or more machines?

    Would give the same result as the BC pipes. It goes randomly, so for an infinite amount of items it will be even, but besides that, it won't. The maximum discrepancy I've noticed using pipes was a surplus of 10 items in the other side.

    any way to 'load balance' items properly between 2 or more machines?

    This has no impact or whatsoever, since pseudo random numbers, in practical terms, will be output random results. Once you guarantee that different seeds feeds this algorithm, you'll be ok. The result from the pRNG and a real random algorithm will tend to closeness, which is enough for every...

    Sink items into Logistics Pipes from Applied Energistics

    Hello guys, I'm trying to accomplish something in my world but I can't seem to find a solution to solve this problem. In easy words: - I have an AE system that is currently working smoothly (it has ME Drives, ME Chests and storage cells etc) - I want to create a small Logistics Pipes system...

    Look Ma! No Bees! (or: How To Make Trees Breed Themselves)

    I have started breeding them in the Escritoire, but I can't get new species, I always get the same species again. I have now 10 butterflies, but no other butterfly spawned on itself. Also, I didn't change awnything in the config from default FTB Unleashed configs: The area is correctly...

    Look Ma! No Bees! (or: How To Make Trees Breed Themselves)

    Well, after the first one disappeared, two more spawned. I scooped them and dropped them back just to discover the species. They bred the trees really slowly, but no more butterflies showed up. Nothing can be killing them, it's a closed space with no way out, except for a closed door, that I...

    Look Ma! No Bees! (or: How To Make Trees Breed Themselves)

    After over 12 real life hours of waiting, I don't what else to do to get the butterflies to spawn. All of those tree were analyzed in the Treealyzer before being planted. I'm running FTB Unleashed. Edit: Ok, closed and opened the server and the first butterfly appeared. Why, I don't know...

    Metallurgy Discussion

    The only thing that has stopped me in the past from using Metallurgy was that the ingots/ores added by it although they are cool, they have no use for other mods. I'd love to see the other mods using the ores added by it. Or someone creating a mod that replaces the recipes from the other mods...

    Flash drive and mugs, I'd buy them now (if shipping is accessible).

    Totally, one you can cast directly, and the other one was not possible until past century.

    You can cast liquid bronze directly into a sword using a mold to do so. Either way, I've lost myself in the conversation and I can't seem to understand what you're saying.

    Change the config as I told you and you'll have your desired behavior, of making the game harder by removing the vanilla tools and replacing them with TC tools

    I mean to cast a lump of metal is easy. But if you get exactly this process (in medieval age) and instead of casting into a lump you cast into a sword, the result will be bad, as they didn't have the knowledge to cast properly into tools. This is when the shaping goes in, you get this casted...

    FTB Mod Discussion: Greg-Tech

    Casting a lump of metal is an easier process and the result is not a pure ingot, nor hardened nor tempered, can break easily and if you just use that to cast directly into a sword, it would break. The hole point of smithing is to make the material useable for the tools. When they discovered the...

    No, one doesn't imply the other. The metalsmiths were working with the iron before without being able to cast a sword directly, without cracking or destroying the piece.

    FTB Mod Discussion: Greg-Tech

    Before the invention of metal casting for forging weapons and tools, metalsmiths were all doing everything by shaping the metal. And where they don't use casting (Tinkerer's Construct), they use the shaping (GT), like in some places in medieval age.

    FTB Mod Discussion: Greg-Tech

    It's an attempt to resemble blacksmithing. On metal casting you don't need a hammer, you just need to polish the material and sand paper to remove the metal excess. This is before casting (mechanics that Tinkerer's Construct uses), where the metalsmith uses charcoal to heat the ingot and...

    a question about ftb unleashed compatible mod

    I'll not lecture people on the internet, it's worthless trying to do so. Do whatever you want, but blocking JS without knowing why you do so is a dumb idea. And if you know why you are blocking, then you'd feel safe surfing on random webpages. If you don't feel secure enough, than you shouldn't...
