    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    The initial power review & overhaul is complete using same ratios that Factorio uses, so power gen should grow in line with expanding the factory & autocrafting. No doubt more will need tweaking on this, especially on other mod items, but the core is in place. Few more recipes added to the...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    There's also a 1.12.2 mod called VanillaFix - https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/vanillafix It's fairly new, and I've seen drastic improvements in loading time and performance. Some IE questions. What is the RF/t usage of the Metal Press? What is the RF/t usage of the Automatic...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    Ah yes, the inserters need to be facing the correct way. Haven't seen your vid yet, but if you look at the blueprint recipe for the particular machine, it shows you the correct layout. Edit: Ah, I see now, the inserter direction is independant of the machine rotation. When I build the structure...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    Realised in the design of the pack, I never actually reviewed the power usage, was too busy focused on the structural side of things - whoops! Well, it is a beta :D One output from the Diesel Generator using MV cables is enough to nearly run 5 Drills perfectly. Factorio is 10 drills to one...

    To design a Hardcore or Expert Mode pack

    The main reason is that single block magic auto-crafters tend to be cheaper and easier to build vs the multiblock, but recipe changes and/or itemstages would fix that. Efab also has an autocrafting "issue" where it'll randomly stop, and never restart. While a great concept for a mod, I'd say...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    Anything with XXXXX are intentionally disabled items/blocks, either due to duplicated functionality or not fitting the Factorio theme. Anything with XX+Mod Name (Like XXMek) is tech I've not yet integrated/reviewed and will either be research or disabled going forward (This is basically the WIP...

    To design a Hardcore or Expert Mode pack

    Oh, regarding the cloche, it's not really a case of changing the recipe, but adjusting the config to really slow the thing down, and up the power usage. Here's the settings I finished up with, but of course, your tastes & pack requirements will be different: # The Flux per tick the belljar...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    That'll be fixed in the next update. Should equate to 1.5 solars to a powered drill. Didn't appreciate that the config works in Mek's Joules, not RF.

    To design a Hardcore or Expert Mode pack

    I'd say Tin, Copper & Coal are normal world gen, but more advanced resources are controlled by Factory0. The Burner Drill could be made from bronze, with a Bronze Drill head only able to mine up Iron (plus perhaps tin & copper Factory0 orespawn too). With Modular Machines, you can have recipes...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    Each quest stage has an icon representing what is unlocked and as far as I recall, the research stages that actually unlock items do tell you what is unlocked. You can't actually show images within individual quests. I assume you are referring to the Drill, one of the later science packs...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    Okay, adjusted some of the blurb a little. The inserters only recently gained a GUI. I'm not quite sure what some of it means myself, but most is fairly obvious from using other mods that use a whitelist/blacklist system.

    FTB Performance over the years

    I'd have to agree with @ShneekeyTheLost, as each MC version is released, with apparently fixes and improvements, performance is a hell of a lot worst. Started in 1.2.5 days, had a low spec machine, and ran modded with 64x textures. Nowadays under 1.12.2 I've got a much beefier computer, and...

    To design a Hardcore or Expert Mode pack

    The other option if you want large clusters is Factory0-resources. This highly configurable mod generates virtual ore deposits that you can mine up. Various ways to prospect the ore from the surface, then you set up the mining system, power it, and bingo, resources, without causing massing holes...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    Can you give me some examples? Converting Minecraft to a Factorio style of progression is a challenge due to the differences in the environment (2D vs 3D) and crafting systems. Getting the right balance will take a while. You start with very limited options on what to build, and research will...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    Version 0.72 has been released. Key fixes are the Machine Controller, and questbook will ensure your starting chunk has some resources in it (not major, but enough to get started).

    The mod is Geolosys.

    Aww crap, didn't realise the common component from advanced rocketry got tagged by accident. I'll get that fixed immediately.

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    There are two mods currently in the pack, Better Railroads and Transport. Both are providing functionality to get Diamond Chests (Steel Chests in the pack) from A to B with auto loading/unloading extremely fast. Signals has been mentioned to me, but I've not had opportunity to look into that...

    Manufactio - Minecraft/Factorio hybrid

    I've increased the chance of redstone ore generating, and also added smaller clumps, so it's still rare, but not a hurdle. The Machine Controller does not have any stage assigned to it, I think you are looking at the wrong controller. The science stage still references the Efab, so I'll get...
