Good precaution: in the lastest version of GT, both thorium + plutonium have been buffed, but the computer cube hasn't been updated. This is the sort of thing that causes explosions :p For the record, here's how they were buffed: thorium now has +20% lifetime (30000 seconds rather than 25000)...

That means its a dark node, meaning its the opposite of a pure node - it generates flux; good if you want to farm wisps, but otherwise is a pain in the arse. Incidentally, if you happen across a desert temple in your travels, they will always have a large dark node in them.

The only other multiblock machine that takes advanced casings is a distillation tower, which is really useful but a bitch to automate. Alternatively, you could use them to make a fusion reactor :)

Feed the cobblestone into a railcraft rock crusher to turn it into gravel, then feed the gravel into a factorization grinder to get some gold nuggets and diamonds.

What is the reason for disabling IC2 sounds in 1.4.7? (I knew there is a reason, but i've never known what it is).

Any biome without rain, by far the most annoying thing in MC. By the way, bigglesworth: how did you make that epic-looking jungly-cave world? Did it spawn naturally? Or did you make it yourself?

I just noticed that the maximum attainable heat value is 2880K (it used to be higher than this), by making it out of advanced machine casings and filling it with lava. However, it requires 3000K to make tungstensteel ingots. Whats up with that?

I have thought about howcool it would be for a kind of FTB super hostile map, but I realise that any mod armour - even something as easily obtainable as nano armour - would make most mob encounters trivial. I think it would ony work if mobs could somehow ignore armor, which defeats the point of...

The eu/t for thorium was never lowered, just the lifetime and heat were. The eu/t for plutonium was lowered, but its since been raised again, making it even more powerful than before. By the way, even though the lifetime was halved for thorium, if you have an industrial grinder and you put...

On my PC world I've got an 11x11 MFR tree farm that supplies enough charcoal for 5 36hp boilers (charcoal because planks are being nerfed soon) without fertilizer. A full-size MFR farm would be 25x25, with a growing area of 625 blocks - a bit more than 5x my 11x11 farm. This means that it should...

You know, unless i'm making a mob farm with xp in mind, I prefer it to not drop xp, since then it just creates a load of lag. Actually, now I think about it, I just thought of something else: do vanilla iron golems spawn with MFR spawners? I know they don't work with soul shards, but I haven't...

Just now I tried adding 2 quantum chests to my AE network via ME storage buses. The moment I connected them however, the game crashed. I thought nothing of it at first, until I tried reloading the game. Now, whenever I try going on my world, it will immediately crash as soon as the world loads...

Grrr, I wish i'd known that before now. I've been wasting 440 mb/t of steam for ages thanks to this :mad:

I agree. If these people could be bothered doing research on what causes lag, then there wouldn't be any of this fuss over xytanks and things. By the way dave, I think you posted the wrong image :p

That's a lot of engines... wouldn't you be better off using power converters? Mainly for compactness (assuming you have it). Sorry, I didn't mean to derail the thread or anything, its just someone said something like "This is a joke" a couple of pages back and I immediately thought of that...

I don't know how many trees I get, I haven't counted them of anything. I also don't use fertilizer, i've got more than enough charcoal as it is.

I know, however, i've heard that the heat value of planks is being severely nerfed in 1.5.1. If it turns out this is false, then i'll go back to planks.

I don't understand how people can be so lazy as to just spam thermal generators, or magmatic engines for that matter. Its not as it there isn't an alternative that's equally easy. In fact, with an MFR tree farm (and probably others I haven't thought of), you can get more power with less...

Well I guess sequoia's will be 4x4 when we get to 1.5.1 (though I suspect that won't be for ages yet). The amount of wood though... 4x4 and 100 blocks tall? That's 25 stacks of charcoal per tree! With just 9 trees I could fully heat a 36hp boiler! I can just imagine this massive array of...

Hmm, I notice there the saplings are called "Giant sequoia saplings", while in the version i'm using (whichever that is, in FTB ultimate 1.02), they're just called "sequoia saplings". Its good to know that they can be chopped by a SC tree farm, though I haven't get any experience with them...
