    Logic gate replacement programs

    In the Apmz + Ultimate == Awesome thread (I think) someone lamented the loss of redpower logic gates and asked about replacements. At the time, I suggested that computercraft could be used as relatively low cost replacements and I've started writing up some programs and pastebin'ing them for...

    m.setAutoCollect(true) attempt to call nill

    OP indicated he was making an enchanting turtle. Said turtle has the ability to collect XP orbs and enchant items and books. Peripheral.wrap() associates the adding device on the specified side to a variable for ease of reference. SetAutoCollect(true) tells the turtle to automatically pick up...

    m.setAutoCollect(true) attempt to call nill

    I would suggest going into lua and running peripheral.isPresent("right") and peripheral.isPresent("left") just to be sure that the turtle isn't confused about which side is which.

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Yeah. There's a sleep at the end of the loop, but you're right that os.pullEvent is probably a better idea. (worked on the code a bit. works perfectly with normal redstone, but not rednet..not sure why yet) pastebin.com\thBxJ8vL is the andgate :) (edit 2) obviously this is just for people...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Yeah, that's what I was addressing with my pastebin comment. It's shouldn't be difficult to make computercraft scripts that emulate the various redpower gates and toss them up on pastebin for people to download. Something like this, except for every gate. local tArgs = {...} -- if...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    computercraft + rednet? (yes, I know...programming isn't for everyone, but I bet it wouldn't take a whole lot of begging to get simple gate activity recreated in pastebins). The rednet cabling is very cheap, and computers are ridiculously cheap for how much you can do with 'em.

    Am I missing something with Exp Turtles?

    OK. Let me remove my assumption-sized foot from my gossip-sized mouth. There was a post that was probably a quote of a post of a tweet of a random IRC comment from someone's cousin's brother's best friend's sister a while back indicating that Repair was going to be taken out of the list...

    Am I missing something with Exp Turtles?

    I know that at some point, Repair was removed from the 'can enchant to books' list. On the server where I setup my turtle xp farm, I know that I got maybe 3 silk touch books out of probably 240 enchants. Pretty rare. That was in the 1.0.1 version of ultimate. We've never upgraded the server...

    Am I missing something with Exp Turtles?

    I don't think you're missing anything. Enchanting books is terribly inefficient in terms of experience to useful rewards. It's a great way to use those turtles, but you'll get a lot more dross than wheat.

    Thoughts on MFR

    I had my first letdown ever for MFR this morning. I was hoping that industrial fertilizer would work with barley (and by extension, hoping that it works with all of the other natura plants and trees). /sigh. It was not to be so. :)

    Using AE to keep a carpenter stocked

    I need to think about this. I thought about a pattern provider, but I couldn't think of a good way to make it work automatically without requesting 500000 alveary blocks (which would probably time out and drop off the crafting list on its own). Worth playing with. If that works, it's a lot...

    Using AE to keep a carpenter stocked

    I asked this question in the Simple Question thread, and while it took me a bit of time to work it out, I have a solution. My method calls for an ME Interface, a piece of dark cable, computercraft, and some piping. A redpower sequencer would probably work as well. Lay down the ME Interface...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    What's the best way to keep a carpenter automatically stocked with just enough stuff when attached to an AE network. I hoped that I could just plop an ME Interface down and tell it to keep the right amount of material stocked and it would pass over, but no such luck.

    I think you can use the packager for what you want, but you have to be careful how you shove inputs into it (since stuffing 8 of something in will tie it up until the 9th comes in).

    I couldn't leave well enough alone. :) if I read your requirements properly, you should be able to put your three level emitters on a computercraft computer on the left, back, and top with some red and blue bundled cable on the right and use a program like this

    And here I was getting ready to suggest computercraft as a third alternative :)

    What's the ideal ratio of MFR planters to harvesters when growing trees on one layer deep xycraft soil? (lol, a bit specific...but the soil probably doesn't matter much). MFR version as per Ultimate. Config changes not possible. I'm currently setup with 9 planters (3x3) and one...

    I just ran into the same bees. I love how they apparently ignore armor when calculating explosion damage :)

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    My answer for an enderman exp farm is to do it in the end. I use turtles to build a safe path Wwwaaayyyy out, make a flat platform big enough to act as a spawn area, and then make a covered area to hide under (with water on top). At that point, I just setup a line of turtles and stare at the...

    Confessions: I never ... even though I'm told I should.

    That's pretty much what my coworkers said...I look forward to seeing a few more 'So-and-so got sucked to the moon' messages ^_^
