Well, as an eternal restarter, I kinda liked that rock melter power generator. I built it in about a dozen of bases along with the steel train cart -> tico smeltery iron dupe trick. You don't quite build the same way with infinite iron and power and it really create a new approach to the game...

No one said the turtles must all federate to the same hive. If we meet a bandwith issue, the could create another hive...

I'd use that rail higher above the ground so the turtles could start digging from there I guess. So the mineshafts would not be a problem. Also, the worst that could happen would be some rare slice of the world being kept intact. wouldn't stop the turtle empire to progress...

ok, wood planks then. Since I plan a tree farm at chunk 0 to guarantee a steady source of fuel, they could use a few planks to build rails. Producing wool is not a priority...

Better still, the turtle could use a system of cobblestone rail. The follow the rail until they find a block of air and then register that slice of world as theirs by placing a cobblestone there. Other turtle wouldn't bother about that particular 256x16x1 slice of world. If the turtle need to...

go in chunk 1. Move front 16 tile, move up 16 tile, move down 16 tile. Are you 16 tile away from start at the same height ? If yes repeat, if not that's your line of chunk go build your refuel base at chunk 0. Is your base finished ? if yes. Go along your line of chunk until you hit something...

The pathfinding shouldnt be a problem in this case because the turtles are meant to mine the entire dimension. So it should be empty space all around.

Well i'm a php coder mainly, I wont learn a new language just to break my game. The only question remaining is "is there a way to initiate a code on a turtle by a turtle" otherwise, my plan will require a player in a cage in the middle of the build to initiate the turtes... But as I explain...

Let me prove your wrong and how french is more complex ;) . In french words have a gender. we say. Une voiture, une bagnolle, une automobile or un char. All synonymous for "car" and yes you'll notice one of them is of masculin gender despite describing the same thing. Next, both "voiture...

I think all we need is the chunks at lattitude 0 and every multiple of 128 chunks after (if we ever go that big) That strip of land would be a terraformed treefarm on top and a charcoal factory on the basement. They would also contain chest which would go in the giant sorting system. The...

You could probably use some high temperature generator instead and produce about 5 time more power with the same setting. Also ... wait i'll open my own topic... : http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/did-you-banned-turtles-from-your-world-yet.51732/

Am I the only one here who is aware that one single rogue turtle could : A) Collect everything for it's own survival. B) Find enough material to multiply itself. C) Mine (itself and the infinitely growing army of it) the the entire plane of existence. D) Build any contraption needed to...

Use ic2 crops you wont need a planter and it produce faster. And by all mean, dont let all that grass go to waste ! it's full of essence seeds and canola seed. And you can turn all those flowers into all kind of dye you could send into your bioreactor.

If you have a chest full of coal block around to spend on it, the high temperature generator could generate 1.5kRF very efficiently (most efficient ?) with then very few coal. Otherwise, a 3x3 big reactor with 4 rods in the corners and a bucket of ender in the middle is what I suggest. I like...

Here an exemple : With a bit of text analysis, we can fetch enough information to depict most trees. Of course I'd have to code the 3d renderer accordingly and I'd have to set default for missing informations, but with a bit of hack you can make a game with ever species of trees that exists...

I would make it 3x3 time larger with tools that most work in AOE like the TiCo hammer. But above all, I'd make the terrain generator able to parse wikipedia articles. In such a way I'd constantly encounter new trees, flowers, plants, fruits, rocks, animals, minerals, weapons, monsters...

Cheat it in or ask an admin. You could collect 2-3k of quartz with a good tico hammer in the nether in a decent amount of time. But 100k... no. The only way to get that much is by idle farming. In survival or pvp environment, it wouldnt prove anything but that you can leave your computer open...

in 1.6 Take a block mover, grab your ME drive, place it in a strongbox set the crafting recipe for an hardened strongbox with that strongbox into a tico crafting station and pump it out with an itemduct with a servo set to only pump hardened strongboxes. Open and close the crafting gui a few...

Autonomous activator, lava bucket and empty buckets. Made my day last time I tried...

Actually, if you borrow my idea of special abilties in items, you might be able to make one big modular AI with a small modules attached to each new skills. They could change the weight of other behaviors like when to flee, when to charge, when to stay at distance, add new triggers and of course...
