    The most underused starting strategies?

    Sky pirate starter. get clay, coal, wood, wool and iron and make yourself a traincraft zeppelin use your brand new airship to go village raiding and to explore the world. 1 coal = 2500m. Do your best to trade with all the villagers you find. use your first diamonds, tin and copper, and...

    For those wondering if steam can be stored in tanks...

    another point - steam is produced and used very quickly. A 36H boiler outputs 720 buckets of steam a tick. That's 14400 buckets steam a second. Every unit of a railcraft tank or of a normal BC tank is 16 buckets. even for a 9x9x8 railcraft tank, that's only 10368 buckets.A single industrial...

    Whitelist Server Dramaniac Industries [50 Slots][MindCrack][Medium][Gregtech full difficulty]

    If I recall correctly (and I would ask for Drache, DDR or Winston to correct me) you're allowed 1 chickenchunks loader and 3 railcraft world anchors (either standard or cart loaded) I don't know about personal world anchors or anchor sentinels.

    The server is hosted in germany and drache the admin is also in germany. It is currently 8:30 in the morning and Drache is probably at work or just waking up for work. The server is currently down due to a bug (possibly to do with turtles, we don't know) When the admin gets a chance, he will...

    Is the Rock Crusher an upgraded version of the Pulverizer?

    I don't disagree. One of the first machines i set up in my world is a cobble and sand gen, I just put the secondary output of the pulverizer to a chest on top and that thing supplies me with all the gravel I need. However, once the sand barrel fills my gravel production goes to 0, so if I...

    Is the Rock Crusher an upgraded version of the Pulverizer?

    problem with that is that there's a 40% chance of gravel in pulverizer and the pulverizer is slower than the crusher the crusher does it 100% of the time and at a faster rate.

    Is the Rock Crusher an upgraded version of the Pulverizer?

    I would also suggest it if you were going for a heavy dingy dieselpunk or similar look for your base. Why feed your ores in through a tiny efficient pulverizer when you can chuck them into a 2x2x3 15MJ/t power hogging noisy rock crusher? :D also crushed obsidian - hard like obsidian but...

    Quarry List

    hmm... for me, I don't want a barrel for each individual ore and ingot - so I put all metals into one, all types of wooden stuff in another, seeds and plant matter in yet another, one for tools, one for xychorium etc etc. Then anything that I don't want in a group goes into a barrel - or...

    Liquiduct Oddities

    it is in no way similar to a nuke. depending on the heat in a nuclear reactor. you can level an entire base without blast protection. I had an unprotected steam boiler running in the middle of my FTB Beta A base when a bug with aqueous accumulators cut off the water supply then resupplied...

    Quarry List

    i've found that at sea level, a quarry requires 2 golden chests and a void pipe to handle all incoming material. Sand, Gravel, Cobble, Gravel and Flint go into the void and everything else goes into one of the two chests. I bumped this up to 3 golden chests when dealing with a quarry at y=130 in...

    Quarry List

    Another option is to sort common items (ores) into chests and then have a set of 40 to 50 blank barrels attached to red power tubes for unsorted chest loot. This will put a new item into the nearest blank barrel and continue on until it gets new barrels. At the end of this barrel system you'd...
