    Tinkering with Fusion Reactors

    Perhaps I don't understand what teir 4 is. Is tier 4 the industrial processing machines? I had a single nuclear reactor in my old bunker powering all my macerators, furnaces, grinders, centrifuges, etc. It worked fine for me, but I wasn't running it 24 hours a day. It seemed sufficient to power...

    Tinkering with Fusion Reactors

    Not quite everything, UU matter has a limited list of things it can produce. Besides, matter fabrication is already in IC2, I stand by my point that gregtech doesn't add anything original that uses more than a token amount of power. All his machines run on 32/128 eu.

    Tinkering with Fusion Reactors

    It just feels like an unfinished ending to the gregtech tech tree. Consider IC2 by itself, it has the nuclear reactor and it outputs far more energy than you're likely to need with just machines but it also has the mass fabricator which you'd have a hard time powering until you had a nuclear...

    Tinkering with Fusion Reactors

    The fusion reactor just seams like an odd goal. Once you make it, then what? Gregtech adds so much, yet it's severely lacking in anything to accomplish post fusion reactor. It seams lately he's more interested in nerfing other mods, filing out the periodic table with multitudes of cells and...

    Tinkering with Fusion Reactors

    5 reactors.... What exactly do you need that much EU for? Realistically, by the time you can afford to make a fusion reactor you have already built a capable system for producing large quantities of UU matter. Is there some other form of EU dump to spend your fusion output on?

    Dark Aura Node + MFFS Wisp Zapper help?

    Awesome! Thanks so much. I hope you do a tour of your base some time. :D

    Dark Aura Node + MFFS Wisp Zapper help?

    Actually, gregtech recently added a generator that runs on vis or something.

    LP for a GregTech noob?

    Direwolf did a mod spotlight of gregtech, but it's a bit outdated now. The key to gregtech is not to make assumptions on recipes, always check NEI before you start making something. The wiki for it is pretty decent, and when in doubt ask around here.

    LP for a GregTech noob?

    The mindcrack server has a bunch of LP's that cover a variety of mods including Gregtech. There was a post in the general forum where people where debating on the best mindcrack LP to watch. http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/which-mindcrack-youtuber-should-i-watch.8900/ I recommend...

    100% AFK Xp farm Level 30 in 61 seconds! (Biproduct used to create diamonds)

    Just a heads up, this farm will no longer be able to produce diamonds. You'll need a wither skeleton one for that now. Gregtech removed coal dust from blaze powder in a recent update.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Doing it with golems sounds almost tolerable, but considering there are other ways to get 3 bars from many ores using gregtech or thermal expansion I may not bother. I'd only be using it for tin and maybe silver. I guess if you don't mind building a big solar array for the factorization power...

    Difference between DW20 Pack & Mindcrack Pack?

    Think of mindcrack as the hardmode option. No EE3 a lot of recipes for IC2 based things are a lot more expensive. For example, nano swords need an iridium plate and diamond drills for quarries. Traincraft adds zeplins, which can be fun. I believe Mystcraft is being added to Mindcrack when the...

    Diamond Spawn seems really low?

    What Y level are you mining at? I tend to prefer the 10-12 range for diamonds.

    Dark Aura Node + MFFS Wisp Zapper help?

    Oh, well inside the mound they seam to be on both floors and all over the place. I assumed they spawn all over the mound, but you're saying they spawn inside it and move outwards? Could you post a picture of your caged node with the turrets? That sounds fantastic.

    Witch spawning in Mindcrack

    That's fascinating. I wonder what kind of flux you'd have to dump into the air for a witch to spawn. I've built my base next to a barrow and I only seam to get wisps that drop red and black essences.

    Dark Aura Node + MFFS Wisp Zapper help?

    So I've decided that venturing into the barrow mound next to my house to clear out wisp infestations is dangerous and foolish. I'm now endeavoring to build a glass sphere around the aura node to encase any invading wisps and an MFFS system to zap them at the press of a button. Currently my...

    Advanced Mining Drill

    If you want super efficient strip mining, take a diamond drill, a diamond jackhammer, and a silk touch pick. The jackhammer clears stone as fast as the diamond drill does dirt.

    10 Steadfast Drones in One Dungeon Chest :D

    Some people consider bee mutations a spoiler and breeding outcomes something you need to discover on your own. I don't care personally, but I respect people who might like the person above my post who requested the information to be hid with spoiler tags. Marble drones are not inherently a...
