    [1.7.10][LISTED] InfiTech 2 Modpack v3.2.21 [HQM][GregTech balanced hard-mode modpack]

    I've seen that video, too. His is getting close to MOX (net). He has higher gross, but the IC2 actively-cooled takes some powered components, so you need to feed back some of the raw (gross) output power to run the cooling and recirculation system. He doesn't show the output power until the...

    Well, there is the BR Steam Turbine for RF only, and that's quite fun. It's big, looks good, generates a good amount of power, takes a lot of resources to build, and doesn't put a big hit on the client or server. It's pretty close to the ideal end-game power producer. I'm using gold blocks for...

    FYI, this thread now has the 4th-most replies of any 3rd-party pack. Ahead of it (us) are AgS, BnB, and MF2, which makes us the most-commented-on non-FTB (staff) pack. Yeah ! We're further down the rankings in views, but I like to think that's a good thing. We're not the most popular, but we...

    What are the ways to make between 1K and 10K EU/t without spamming RC Steam Turbines ? 6-block MOXes ~100-block IC2 pressure vessel systems Pcraft convert BR Steam Turbine RF to EU Other ? I'm contemplating trying to leap from RF Steam Turbines @ 200 EU/t each to Naquadah @ 32K EU/t each, or...

    I believe the intent is for it to output 2 small dusts, i.e. half a full dust. Otherwise, you can game it to get infinite Nether Quartz. Using the Pure Nether Quartz recipe to stretch (double) one's supply of Nether Quartz *should* be a 1-way trip. Ditto Pure Certus.

    Centrifuging a redstone vein : once for Ruby and twice for Redstone. As for Manganese, I found most of my mine - and all I've ever needed - in loot/dungeon/Thaumcraft chests. I haven't found a vein with any Manganese in it yet.

    You can use the Thaumcraft Arcane Levitator - stacking them up at the bottom of the shaft, then Thaumic Tinkerer Ethereal Platforms at each floor/level.

    A few ways to get gold semi-early-game: 1. Process With that much phosphorus and honey dew/drops, I'm guessing ... bees ? I just got gold and diamond bees the other day. I debated with myself whether to do it, but after clearing out a couple of diamond veins and still not having enough for...

    This is a fantastic tip ! While assembled picks don't stack, the heads and the handles (sticks) stack, and they can be assembled in the player's shapeless 2x2 crafting grid.

    Yeah, I meant to put that qualifier. The BBFs are simple compared to the others : nothing shared with the BBFs other than walls, i.e. basic blocks. Great to know ! I'll hook up my oxygen line to these EBFs.

    Some good news : in GT 5, you indeed can (still) share blocks of the multi-block structures such as the EBF (right) and Multi-Smelter (left) Front view of Multi-Smelter (left) and EBF (right) Bottom view of EBF The following blocks *must* be on the same axis as the controller, i.e. 1 copy for...

    @Azkeel Here is a link to @Gamejet's post earlier in this thread with Binnie's with the MJ API added into it. And, I agree with @Pyure : it sounds like you're off to a good start ! We're using Binnie's on our server and I love it. It took about 10 machine instances total and about a week of...

    What @Tyriael_Soban said. We've been playing this world for over a month now and I've been on the longest. What you're seeing in the foreground of this picture is a BigReactors Steam Turbine. It's the most efficient way I know in this pack to convert steam to RF.

    If anyone is curious, here are pictures of my base. It's not my entire base, just the non-obvious bits. Not pictured is my AE2 system and my manual/semi-automated GT and eIO machines, which still comprise the bulk of my machines. Also not pictured are some Thaumcraft areas/rooms, but those are...

    Umm...because they've always been ? Forge Multi-Part (FMP), Immibis, and other mod's "many parts in 1 block" solutions are much newer than GT. Also, GT does have a few things that fit in the same block : You can put covers/shutters/pumps/etc.,. on GT cables and wires.

    I don't know how much power it is, but it's very low power. Indeed, I believe it's the most power-efficient way to smelt stuff in GT. It's the complete opposite end of the spectrum than the EBF.

    What do you mean "crafted by machine ?" Do you mean: A) GT gear crafted in Extruder using gear mold vs. 4 plates + 4 rods 3x3 recipe ? -- or -- B) 3x3 crafted in AE2 vs. crafted by the player ?

    How do you power a rock crusher

    The RC Steam Turbine makes IC2 EU power only. To convert steam into power for the Rock Crusher, you should use the Hobbyist's, Commercial, or Industrial Steam Engines in Railcraft. Depending upon our RC version, this could be MJ or RF power. Older versions used MJ. Newer versions use RF...
