A similar setup using 4 LV hatches with 2 blocks of insulated 4xTin cables connected to a 4x32v battery box did *not* work for me. It only started working after I connected the 4x32v battery boxes directly to an LV hatch each. Earlier, I tried 4x Basic Steam Turbines directly connected to...

Re: RF vs. EU vs. GT My preference is likewise towards complexity vs. simplicity, but that's *only* because I've done RF to death and enjoy something more engaging. Realize we are a tiny fraction of the modded MC community, and the modded MC community is a tiny fraction of the MC player base...

I loooove my bees. But, ExtraBees is not strictly needed. You can use Forestry + MagicBees to produce bees that make iron, copper, gold, tin, diamond, etc.,. The difficult part then is breeding traits by hand, and the keys for that are Max. Fertility and Oblivion or Necrotic frames.

Indeed ! And, I chalk that up to Railcraft. The RC Steam Turbine and the RC Boiler are also more efficient than their GT counterparts. I can't imagine deprecating the RC Steam Turbine, for instance, unless you go 100% nuclear or some such. But, by the time you're nuclear, you *probably* have...

One more note on the bronze machines : they are design to be clearly inferior to the GT electrical age machines. In other words, they're supposed to suck. Now, to be fair, they are far better than the vanilla furnace and GT hand tools. I mean, who enjoys smelting ores directly to get just 1...

It does, yes. But, I believe the Rock Crusher is the best way to start with an ore block. If you are making steel and have found a diamond/graphite vein, I highly recommend making a Rock Crusher. You can add an Ore Washer as a 2nd stage. You can also simply re-crush the crushed ores again to...

Relative to many GT machines, yes :-) And, the Rock Crusher is good enough to not skip. It's a highly recommended rung on the progression ladder in this pack.

@danieledward What @Pyure said. Early/mid-game, I believe the Rock Crusher is the best you can do. When you look at how an ore is processed in NEI, the 'Macerator' should show just the main products. So, just 2x crushed Tetrahedrite ore from 1x Tetrahedrite ore The only difference between...

I think some humor got lost in translation...

... Ummm....wow. Putting mDiyo and Greg in the same pack !! I'm surprised your tool experience was the worst there was. For merging TiCo and GT, a black hole should have formed on your hard drive and sucked in your entire computer. On a more serious note, what you're trying to do is not...

1.1.9 upped it to 1223 1223 was required for new Thaumcraft version.

Can Gendustry be tweaked/nerfed ? Problem with Gendustry is it trivializes bee and tree species breeding and trait imprinting. Gendustry is for far easier packs, IMHO. Would like to include option C: C) Disable binnies (and don't replace with Gendustry) With that said, I still voted for "keep...

Number of LVs needed might depend upon the recipe, no ? If it's 120v, it'll need 4 LVs. But, if the recipe has lesser voltage, it might get by with less. What does it take to make MV stuff again ? Stainless steel or Aluminum ? And, what's the voltage for that ?

They will fall into holes if their path takes them over said holes, yes :-)

Yeah, I remember that. Did you guys try golems ? If that doesn't work, then will use multiple bores in parallel to spread the durability damage load to lengthen service intervals. Also, multiple in parallel will mine that much faster :-)

Yeah, I've had enough gold so far for the little bits here and there I've needed. But, I'd like to start eIO and for that, you need a lot of gold. 4 gold per basic capacitor, 2 capacitors for just an AlloySmelter to get started with. Then, to make 1 capacitor battery block takes a *ton* of gold...

Ah...that's right. Thank you ! I'll start off with Sodium, then upgrade to Lithium when I make it to MV.

There are redstone ore veins, but they aren't common. I found a good 3 or 4 copper + iron veins before I found a redstone ore vein. I found it under a desert, but YMMV, of course. The reason I like desert is it's low enough that the higher ore veins won't spawn, thus increasing the chance for...

For the really adventerous, you can also Rock Crush the Tetrahedrite for a 10% chance at antimony. Rock Crusher is kind of expensive early-game, though. Lots of steel and takes a lot of MJ power to run. But, far easier to just macerate the Stibnite ore. And, I have to say I really love EXBL...

Not able to run game to test, but I know from experience the GT machines will only insert or extract fluids from the top or bottom. The sides don't work. My usual setup is: Rear : power Top : insert items and fluids Bottom : extract items and fluids The eIO conduits are great for this : you...
