A spessartine vein is a good source of Manganese and easier to find. About Big Reactors, I have recently made a pretty good setup. 13x13x4 in size, producing steam (you need a lot of water, I have used 23 Ender IO reservoirs), feeding into 3 RC turbines. From there you can use lossles IC2 HV...

Heh, logic. That works until you use the Bronze Wrench on IC2 machines and remember the old days. (there's a chance you get only the machine casing, back, use the electric wrench on lossless mode, instead). I remember playing some IC2 in 1.6.4 and this mechanic was removed or postponed, at...

Use the Wire Cutter. I completely destroyed a few cables, like a noob, before figuring this one out. So obvious, afterwards.

Yes, I liked sticking with Gregtech, too, so far. But a single tungstensteel large boiler not being able to power a HV turbine seems ridiculous. The Nitro-Diesel route seems also interesting, this is something I overlooked. Man, the amount of ways to get power in this pack is amazing.

Thanks for the tip! So I have made some tests and now I wonder why would people argue between 16 LV turbines and 1 HV turbine, when you can just build 3 RC turbines, link them with a HV cable (lossless, you can go as far as you want), power a MFSU (can't find a way to GT power without one) and...

I found that the height does not matter much, in the end. I found iridium at over 120 height, although it shouldn't be anywhere near that. Lemme check, actually, I made waypoints. [moments later] I may have exagerated about "few", apparently I just found one, at level 56, 2k blocks from the...

I can safely say that finding naquadah in the end is easier than finding tungsten in the overworld (with at least an advanced electric jetpack, of course).

I think that he was talking about GT Stargates, which are not implemented, yet. Here we have the Greg's SGCraft mod, which is developed by another Greg (Greg_Ewing).

I found a few naquadah asteroids but I explored a lot. I'm not sure if this way is more reliable than the big reactors route.. yellorium is everywhere. Bees.. well, for a bee nooby, that is quite a long way. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about producing high tier fuel out of nothing. And, my...

For infinite water, yes, Ender IO reservoirs, as Jason stated. For the RC tanks output I ended up using Ender IO fluid conduits (take note that the first tier is weird with going up - they are influenced by gravity). Also, valves put under the RC tank output automatically. Make sure you take...

No, I only used the clay from rivers and ponds. I still haven't used all the silicon from it. Lithium I can get from other sources, at this point. I think I mined around 64 stacks of clay balls, in total, or a little over that. Wow, some people build in mass. I like to go little by little...

At the MV stage I used clay dust (which you can get lots, fast) in the electrolyzer and got a lot of lithium, silicon and aluminium. You get to use all, from the same product. Oxygen I think I got from ilmenite and ruby in the electrolyzer. You will do that, anyway, to obtain titanium and...

I find that the thermal centrifuge is pretty much useless. I use this setup, to get all the possible byproducts: Macerator > Ore Washing Plant > Macerator > Basic Centrifuge. All are LV. I guess you can later use HV macerators, so you can get even more byproducts. This way, you can get both...

Don't throw cobble, you need it for the bedrockium drums! :D With my creosote I easily power a ME system and some LV machines, when needed. It's a steady source of power, I usually store my charcoal until I chug it in the steel large boiler, when I need lots of power.

They are actually quite cheap. I think 9 iron for a stack. I still think that the speed is not even comparable, but thanks for the tip.

Won't I need thousands of tracks, for that? Anyway, the drill rocks. I'm mining as fast as I'm running, and the advanced nanochestplate powers it. (by the way, I think the recipe for this item was broken).

Yes, it's for Insane Voltage tier stuff. I am not quite there with the infrastructure, but I have all I need for it. I made the EV Precision Laser Engraver machine, for the AE stuff, because I wasn't aware that those plates do not get consumed. I even had duplicates, from the meteorite runs...

Hello. I have been enjoying the modpack so far, but I have encountered one problem. I can't for the life of me, find a tungstate vein, anywhere. I have dug up more than 5k blocks in lenght at the appropiate height (some at 25, some at 35, the ore should be between 20 and 50) in the overworld...
