    Clay Soldiers can't craft them

    Clay soldiers? You mean the Clay Golems from Thaumcraft 3 that you have to research first to use?

    Your first world after the Ultimate pack is released?

    While they can't rotate, you can still make them go in the six different directions, which I think was what he was getting at.

    Forum Game - The Ban Game

    entourian is banned because he doesn't have a non-default avatar.

    I just realized something funny.

    That's what some people are already doing until the expected nerf. From what I gather it was a way to get people to stop pumping out the nether so it won't lag servers. If lava had better fluid dynamics this probably wouldn't be such a big problem though, since as it is pumping the nether will...

    I just realized something funny.

    Another thing you could do, and has been mentioned by me to near excess by now in other threads, is build some steam boilers and a way to keep them piping hot and filled with liquid. A single 36HP boiler (max sized and power) can produce 720 steam, which can be turned into 144 MJ/t. However...

    I just realized something funny.

    Pretty much that. Electric Engines run on a 6 eu for 2 mj ratio, making them horrible for converting EU to MJ (like most machines tbh). This is actually why people use magma crucibles to do the exact opposite of this and turn MJ to EU currently (until it gets nerfed as we all should know it...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Oh, I know that it means 100 buckets, I just use that as that's the number it shows for the railcraft tanks. As such, the 100,000 mb figure is more visible without having to do the conversions in your head, which some people aren't particularly good at.

    Red Power 2 News

    To be fair, the only mods that "need" to be updated for the packs to come out are those that mess with the world gen. As long as a mod doesn't add in world gen it should be fairly easy for the team to add in once it's updated, and seeing as a good number of mods with worldgen have been updated...

    Your first world after the Ultimate pack is released?

    What kind of lights? The new version of RP2 added some inverted lamps (on when redstone is off) as well as some lightbulbs you can attach to walls or ceilings. Thaumcraft 3 also has Nitor as a placable, floating light source.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Use more than one still. A single fermenter running 100% of the time on water can support 4 stills with biomass to spare, and those 4 stills can support 2 heated 36HP boilers that have been heated with biofuel to spare. That said, heat them up one at a time, and before heating you'll want a good...

    I didn't think people would bite that fast on that tongue in cheek setup.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    If you looked at the post above mine you'd understand what he was doing with it. With current conversion ratios, you can melt cobble in a magma crucible to produce a bucket of lava for 20k MJ. That bucket of lava can then be fed into Geothermal Generators for 20k EU, so it's a 1:1 conversion...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    I would like to mention that a single igenous extruder cobble gen can keep a massive amount of magma crucibles fed. I managed to get a single one to feed 18 crucibles, and only stopped because it was using more power than both of my HP liquid boilers could support. It's a shame that test world...

    Magic World, anyone else have golems lighting themselves ablaze?

    Instead of cobble try stone bricks and see if that helps. I know that using netherbricks I was able to get the surrounding area to stop randomly catching on fire as well. I actually had a similar problem with stuff like stone and cobble randomly catching fire as well, so trying different stuff...

    Magic World, anyone else have golems lighting themselves ablaze?

    For them catching on fire, could you perhaps show a picture of your setup? It could very well be the lava is somehow catching the blocks around it on fire and that is then setting the golems aflame. As for them getting on top of the crucible, they should be able to place water into the...

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    One thing to note, I did actually try a 5 still to 1 fermenter setup before and over time I was using up my reserved biomass, so while the number crunching might show you can use that many stills in practice it's slightly too many. Also, I brought this up in some other threads, that same...

    She's running it on 1.4.6 and it added a few more bugs to work out.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Yes, a single refinery would be faster than a single still, but you sacrifice biofuel output and MJ/t for that speed.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    Another thing to note about the still vs refinery thing. Due to the conversion ratios of 4:1 mass>fuel in a refinery and 10:3 mass>fuel in a still, for the same amount of biomass being put into the system a still is 20% more efficient. This means that 4 stills would be 80% more effective than 2...
