    Mod Feedback [By Request] RotaryCraft Suggestions

    Pretty sure you're not collecting anywhere near 100%. I haven't ever gotten close myself. It's somewhere in the recollection process, not the steam side, that we're losing it.

    Yes, you grounded the pipe. It doesn't matter how much power you try to pump into them, that can still happen. I recommend finding something to encase them in. My personal preference is Iron Bars, but you can still fall in the gaps if you're unlucky. However, it also looks pretty nice and lets...

    The problem with that is that each machine is different. So, they'd each have to be programmed in, then updated with every change. However, WAILA will give you the processing time. You can pretty easily create a creative world and just use a creative coil to find the perfect numbers. Remember...

    That's an abstract drawing. The turbine would be 1 single complete unit. Much like the HPTs are built of 7 stages consisting one single complete unit. They're a simpler design than what you see in the drawing, but close enough for MC. Either design would also likely draw enough power out of the...

    ...I think you forgot who you were replying to:) I've been telling people to use a DPA for something like a year now. The above post was only about specifically the efficiency of recollecting the fluid from a HPT. My personal interest is as much just trying to help Reika iron out any kinks, as...

    I just tried to create a loop again, and I'm still losing huge amounts of water. ( Which also means I need to look at the code a lot more carefully, since that's the opposite of gaining, lol. ) It's certainly nowhere near 100% though. A couple minutes of running an HPT would be enough to run...

    That makes more sense:) Instead of it leaking out between the last 2 stages, it's just getting thrown a little further out. Yea, like I said though, it was just a quick look, and I didn't verify the amount of steam being consumed to create the LP fluid. Can you verify the intent? Should it be...

    HPTs don't release steam, they drip a low pressure fluid. You need reservoirs or bc tanks under the front 2 stages, the full width of the stage, to catch the LP fluid. You then need to pump the fluid out and compress it back to normal. Looking at the code, this should actually create more fluid...

    Base design question...

    It might be a bit late, but consider making the towers physically identical, but with some accents. These accents would then be mod/tower specific. This would let you identify them from anywhere, help break up the structure so it doesn't look copy and pasted, and yet still be essentially the same.

    The Strange Case of Mystic's Computer - Seeking Solutions

    Is it too late to return the laptop? $500 would get you the better inspiron senseidragon was looking at. More importantly though, it's only barely better than your old laptop. You would be FAR better off returning it, and getting a desktop. A quick 30 seconds search of newegg turned up...

    Request Need some advisement please

    You may be surprised on the costs, but even a low end PC is usually more expensive than a mid-grade server from something like creeperhost. Even at 12 hours a day, 5 days a week in a place with cheap electricity. This is a bit easier to understand though when you think into it. Servers are all...

    Request Odd (math) problem to solve in AutoIt/AutoHotkey script

    A simple way is to do an If direction. Something like: If direction = north { while Zcoord <= centerZ + length/2 { teleport code Zcoord + gap } } else if direction = west{ while XCoord >= centerX - length/2 { teleport code XCoord - gap } etc. This...

    Yea, last time I tried ammonia with a HPT it was extremely lossy. Haven't tried somewhat recently though. I'll probably go through the code first to get a rough idea of what to expect.

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    I did not mess with the code, I just looked at how it was coded. That was also only needed in the more extreme cases. Simple tweaks worked just fine without any of that knowledge. ( They do take some trial and error though. ) Turbine has nothing to do with the steam grate working or not. You...

    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    You don't need to take the pipe all the way to the center of the toroids. Just touching the top works fine, and looks fine. You absolutely can make bigger and smaller fusion reactors (I've done both). The injectors are optional, and can be outside of the ring. I'm not going to give specifics...

    Mid-game (~10KRF/t) power generation - alternatives to Big Reactors?

    You must be using a very old version. There is no Jet Engine. The 2 engines that use Jet Fuel are the Microturbine and Gas Turbine. They produce 2 MW and 67MW respectively. This translates to 4k rf/t and 129kRF/t. ( The conversion ratio is 520W to 1 RF/t. ) Even so, you would still need 20+...

    Getting opinions on RotaryFlux and my responses

    Unfortunately, I see this as a no win situation for you Reika. Either way you go, WILL piss some people off. The minecraft modding community is just notoriously toxic. Now, for my opinion: The modder has the right to make the mod, even if it completely destroys yours, but shouldn't make it...

    [Reactorcraft] Survival reactor achieved!

    Neutron Reflector is 25% chance. So I would recommend upgrading to at least 2. 3 is pretty hard into diminishing returns, but still does help some. 4 is basically a waste, it'll only help a very tiny bit. 1: 25% of neutrons make it back into the core. ( Note though that there's a chance they...
