    Thaumcraft CV Usage

    .... I should have done more reading. The chance to pick up a new aspect via bullying goes down the larger the node is? srs? /headdesk.

    Is Rotarycraft really useful in Monster?

    I didn't have problems with the energy early on (or at least, I didn't think I did), I had a lot of problems with power transfer. I destroyed half a dozen (expensive) gearboxes trying to grind up enough canola seeds into oil to be able to make a diamond gearbox that wouldn't fall apart. TBH...

    Does anybody have any info on Thermal Dynamics?

    There probably is a #4, but I can't imagine that it's computationally efficient for anything larger than a straight pipe and small transits. If every pipe network contained an in-transit list (source inventory, destination inventory, items/count), then the list could be vetted for items in...

    Big Reactors Data for 1.7.10 (WIP)

    I'm sure they are. My server has a central power authority with 6 turbines feeding into a tesseract line that anyone and everyone is free to draw from. And we still have at least one nutjob who wants his OWN set of turbines and multiple enderIO capacitor banks expanded to MaxInt RF.

    Does anybody have any info on Thermal Dynamics?

    That's easier said than done with pipes that don't do instant transmission. Try setting up a system using buildcraft pipes to do it (with a gate on both ends and red pipe wire connecting them). I'm suggesting using buildcraft here because it's where I first ran into the problem. No matter...

    Does anybody have any info on Thermal Dynamics?

    The only real change I'd like to see in TD is to stop stuffing pipes. If that means I can only use the teleporting pipes, so be it, but we've had enough (admittedly STUPID) builds where stuffed itemducts appeared to cause problems that I'm more on board with EnderIO's item conduits (and...

    SFM is the king of keeping inventories specifically controlled.

    Thaumcraft CV Usage

    I'm more interesting in powering an arcane bore. The book claims it works from 5 to 100 CV. Getting a single node with 10000 perditio seems like a ridiculous pipe dream, which is why I wondered about feeding it from two or more, smaller, energized nodes.

    OK. That's what I was afraid of. Thanks

    Thaumcraft CV Usage

    The question is really, can multiple relays feed multiple streams into a single device.

    Request Redstone Flux: Have it. Now what??

    That's right. I had forgotten about the upgraded machines. An upgraded magma crucible is something like 8k RF/t. The number's pretty stupid high, but you kind ignore it when it looks like a rounding error in your power gen. :)

    Request Redstone Flux: Have it. Now what??

    The laser is the single largest consumer of RF power that I'm aware of. It's possible to build systems that can utilize more, of course, but very little is in the same ballpark.

    Thaumcraft CV Usage

    Can multiple sources of CV stack together to feed a single device? If I had 10 nodes with 100 perdito and stuck them in the node machine, would I be able to feed all 10 of them individually into an arcane bore for full power, or would I need to wait to get a 10000 perdito node for full power...

    Your best FTB Pranks, Traps or Trolls

    These are good. We're limited to non-destructive pranks. One guy filled a house, floor to ceiling, with statues (from the mod). I filled someone's house with a bunch of thaumcraft cheese once. But my favorite so far was a troll..there was a kid on a server way back with a MPS lightning...

    Request Redstone Flux: Have it. Now what??

    2000RF/t is not enough to run a laser drill at full power. You need about 10 times that if memory serves. At full power, you'll get 1 random ore every 10 seconds or so. Pretty good reward.

    I Derp, You Derp, We all Derp, What's your's?

    Setup steve's factory manager to keep an ender chest full of common crafting things that can be made from cobblestone (so cobble, glass, stone, stone brick, sandstone, etc), with autocrafting involved. Apparently I Did It Wrong and sent the server tps down to 3. oops.

    General purpose Blood Altar setup?

    My altars are almost always 8 speed runes (the original ones you need to get to tier 2) and everything else is sacrifice. I'll typically keep 4 witches on hand (Baba Yaga, Circe, Hazel, and Griselda) once I get to a well of sacrifice and I've never felt like the altar couldn't meet my needs.

    Nightmare w/ Blood Magic, L draining too fast

    I'm not sure a well of suffering CAN kill a witch. (deleting..deleting..let's find another way to say that). I've had 5 named witches in my well of suffering for a couple of months, full time, and the only problem I've had is some inexplicable mob duplication (had 5 Circe's at one point). And...

    Nightmare w/ Blood Magic, L draining too fast

    Late post, but witches work fine. I keep an MFR spawner handy and drop sound mufflers on the corners, but I stick nametags on them and let them stick around in a chunk. Baba Yaga, Hazel, and Circe may never forgive me, but their sacrifice has powered some truly amazing exploits. ;) I also...

    Nightmare w/ Blood Magic, L draining too fast

    I usually do it with an MFR spawner and 'safe' mobs, but RJS has the right answer. build up a surplus of mobs so you can stab regularly over a minute or so.
