    Wiki Links....

    So fix it. :) Of course it has errors, it's written by human beings. But over time they get corrected because it's so easy to correct them. Open the wiki to the players. Keep your team working on it at the same time. We will save you a ton of work and probably add great things you never...

    GregTech Debate Thread

    Yes, I know. My point was the compressor can be the ONLY piece of IC2 you use, if GregTech is set up to default settings and you refuse to use IC2 blocks. Because you can power the compressor with redstone. My major reason for not liking the requirement to compress blocks is that it just seems...

    list of items in ftb that bypass fihgu's protections

    I can't test this now, but I'm guessing Steve's Carts will bypass locks and region protection as well.

    GregTech Debate Thread

    I love GregTech now, for the same reason as others - it slows the pace of the game and gives me more to look forward to long-term. I see many, many benefits to it. It's not perfect. I happen to agree that compressing blocks was probably a mistake. It makes the Factorization Packager nearly...

    Wiki Links....

    Wikipedia itself is open to anyone, anonymous or not, and it is one of the biggest jumps in human knowledge, well, ever. These two things are not a coincidence. For every troll there are 10 people who will contribute positively, and the "revert" button is right there, ready to wipe out the...

    32x [32x] JohnSmith Technician's Remix

    Still the best! Any chance this can become a Google Doc? My missing texture reports: The GUI of the Factorization Router after it has the Item Upgrade installed. The slots to insert items are invisible. The GUI of the Forestry Electrical Engine has an invisible slot for the chip upgrade.

    Wiki Links....

    I hope the goal isn't to keep tight control of the wiki content, because IMHO that's the wrong approach.

    Wiki Links....

    You guys should publicize this more! Let us at it and let the crowd-sourcing wiki magic do its work. :)

    Support site/forum

    I said both. QueWhat outlined really well what I feel - the user base (forums) should be the first line of support because, frankly, they are usually faster and generally accurate. But there should also be an organized knowledge base and a group of semi-official support people able to condense...

    What're your favorite new discoveries in FTB?

    Steve's Carts for sure. They have so much personality and are so useful. The solar panel animation might be my favorite thing in the game.

    Reactor Planner - can I rely on it?

    Awesome. Glad you got some use out of it. :) Just realized I haven't given credit where it's due. Here's where I got that reactor design from - lots of good choices there with varying levels of output and required resources.

    Powering GregTech Centrifuge

    Also note that you have to provide a certain number of ingredients to get it moving. Redstone for instance requires a full stack.

    Reactor Planner - can I rely on it?

    OK, yeah, I'm a moron. I put quad cells in that design where it called for double. Doh. :confused:

    Reactor Planner - can I rely on it?

    Thanks! I now remember scrolling past that bug mentioned on the IC2 wiki, but I didn't make the connection. I'll stick with single cells for now I guess.

    Reactor Planner - can I rely on it?

    I'm just getting started playing with nuclear power, so as is my way I'm trying to fully grok it before actually doing it. I found Talon's Reactor Planner site, but I'm not sure if it's actually up-to-date. For example, the site says this design will run a full cycle, but when I recreate it in...

    A little late, sorry for that

    Welcome to the forums!

    Where to find oil?

    If you're looking for a different way to get to the same end result, try making a Steve's Cart with a woodcutter plus solar and coal engines (you need coal because the cart can get stuck under leaves and run out of power). Then set it up on a little circular track on dirt where it drops the...

    One "drop" chest

    Here's my own derpy question: Will the gate's redstone signal be received directly by an attached engine, or does it need to connect via redstone?

    I saw that but I'm scared it'll mark every single post read. What does it actually do?
