I wanted to run an MFR tree farm for charcoal, and use up nikolite that i usually have sitting doing nothing, to run the furnaces to make the charcoal. With gregtech, redpower gives early game wind and solar power. Here is my setup to run 5 furnaces non stop. I stopped the farm for a bit...

Ahh, very true I wasnt thinking very well. This script is ... epic. :) One other question... how do you get t5 shards so fast? Having a t5 wither spawner doesn't seem like an early game option for most people. Im using MFR's tree farms or charcoal, but I saw your wither shard on your stream...

A video would be nice, is there some way to make mining turtles without diamonds? Becuase 700 turtles would cost 2100 diamonds.

It turns out its not as fast as the current quarry. Austin's test showed one turtle beating a quarry that took 39 minutes to knock out an 8x8 chunk. But the current quarry at 100mj will do it in about 15 minutes. But... one turtle costs 3 diamonds, while a quarry costs 11, and a greg tech...

On my friend's survival server, only the basic turtles show up (mining, felling, etc.) but if I play single player, the misc peripheral turtles (mining laser turtle) show up in searches in creative mode, but even in the same world when I change to survival mode... they then don't show up in NEI...

yes go to computercraft.info and look for a thread by austinkk, his script (and others do most likely) will have the turtle look at ores above and below it, and grab/mine anything that is not stone or dirt. so you only end up with stone that the turtle absolutely had to mine, which is 1/3 of...

Playing Ultimate... is there any way to automatically keep a certain amount of items in a chest? So i have an ender pouch, and i want to keep 20 tin cans of food it in at all times. If I grab one or I have a quantum suit that auto feeds me and i move from the pouch to my inventory, id like...

THis is exactly what I did, although i didnt have an AE network yet and four turtles would overflow one enderchest if they all dumped too close together, so i have 4 chests with 2 color codes, and 4 ender chests set to be filled constantly with charcoal. the energy cost is much lower than a...

I think if you compare cost to build and to run, turtles beat quarries hands down. With a script of course, maybe not the basic Excavate function...

i just got into turtles, i guess i dont see why mining all the stone is necessary, unless you are running original mass fab, not matter fab from gregtech and dont want to use igneous extruders? Im curious what you build with the resources, in our last world I had 90 hv solars going to a mass...

I must be missing something, how are you able to field 200 turtles, but not have enough resources to keep a quarry running? You must be playing some pack im not familiar with. I have 4 turtles that mine out a 60 x 60 area in a few hours. 200 turtles would let me mine out an area 425 x 425. Or...

This is why i post threads and get into conversations, I hadnt found the glass viewer yet from xycraft, so awesome. :) I wish xycraft had more machines in it though, lots of building blocks, not much to do with them. The wild colors are cool but not... really what you want to build stuff...

Well the tanks are much cooler, but the key with Deep Storage is they are portable... while holding inventory. So you could pump out lava from a volcano remotely, if somehow you couldnt afford endertanks (no EE3 installed?) and then just carry a volcano's worth of lava in one inventory slot...

well one thing that these would do, if they worked with MFRs deep storage, is give you infinite liquid storage, in a single block.

Ahh, i didnt even think of storage! Without railcraft/xycraft tanks, storage would be a pain. Huh, well NOW what do I do with all this aluminum...?

Ive never put liquid into cans before, but with the xycraft aluminum having few uses other than making cans, i made some. Is there any reason to make cans and not use liquiducts to move liquids around? It seems that cans were created before liquid tesseracts were 'invented' so they were...

Thank you sonofabirch, the nether portal thing worked. It looks like my coordinates were right in the middle of solid netherrack, so it tries to build the portal in a nearby open area (?) which then put it within range of my friends portal. I dug into that area, set up a portal, and it linked...

Does Greg hang around anywhere, it'd be fun to meet him. Very very cool mod, and its just an addon! he has cool ideas, cool machines, and a sense of humor. Is he like some hermit that never appears or something, people talk like he is some mythical being. the Keyser Soze of Minecraft. "and like...

the gems are definitely not 'balanced', you can have a few dozen diamonds mined up by hand and have a few hundred sapphires and rubies. obviously letting players use more common materials to build powerful items is not what greg intended. side note: why couldnt someone just increase the cost...

Like what, turtles? other than setup time, i think turtles are amazing. 4 turtles out run a quarry at comparable cost to the non-gregtech quarry, and use far less energy doing it. I guess im saying the progression IS part of the fun.
