    IDConflicts

    I've never understood why this is such a big issue, couldn't it be handled with a sed one-liner? They don't actually need to be any specific number from what I've gathered, just sequential, so couldn't every damn id problem ever be solved with a simple "cat idconfigfile | sed s/endofline/1++"...

    Getting started with rotarycraft

    This thread is awesome, see how neat RC is and how unique builds are? :) I'm always amazed though by the more basic questions because I assume everyone else watches spotlights or reads wikis before jumping in. Thread after thread after thread I'm like ... have you not seen Danilus's videos...

    A couple RotaryCraft questions.

    Well obviously I wasn't thinking :p It was hilarious though, I can't show it now due to updates.. but they'd go berserk and start flipping from vertical to horizontal really fast and displaying their in / out boxes from 30 blocks away. I like to think it was just a graphical approximation of the...

    A Rotarycraft Thread (Meanders a little)

    What he said. I once got 13 diamonds from a single block of nether diamond ore. Cry less extractor more ;)

    Would you build this?

    Also, de-magnetization is absolutely a real thing. In school I had to learn quite a bit about "residual magnetism" and it's peculiarities. Residual magnetism btw, is the aircraft mechanics equivalent to car mechanics telling people to top off their blinker fluid, or getting the winter air out of...

    Would you build this?

    At it's most basic, electricity is produced by moving magnets around ferrous metals (like iron). The magnets pull all the electrons in the iron into lines which is the actual production part, this only happens once though. To produce an actual current the iron and magnet must have motion.. like...

    A couple RotaryCraft questions.

    It was the first thing I thought to do as well hehe, was gonna make The Simpsons nuclear plant and daisy-chain flip-flopped turbines 8 high in 2 giant silos. I'm bummed you can't do it anymore but it was pretty obviously not cool. Side note; if you send the power from two turbines rotating at...

    Thank you MeteorCraft for ...

    heehee :D Well fair enough, this is assuming they're all of an appreciable size and speed. Reika did say their velocity is random so perhaps he put in a lower limit so we don't have silly slow meteors. People don't realize how thoroughly we've mastered electricity; even in your daily life for...

    Thank you MeteorCraft for ...

    There's no troll physics, you can't fucking stop a bus-sized meteor moving several million mph, period. Action - Reaction. Please direct all further questions to Newton, Einstein, and the dinosaurs :p If anything their impact area should be 10x bigger. Also DC electricity is not some ancient...

    A couple RotaryCraft questions.

    This is an awesome use of the mod! Why use them? They're weaker than redstone engines? Cause he's powering a whole damn farm with em! The magnetization stuff.. yea it's not the most "modern" or space-efficient way of producing it anymore, doesn't mean it's not useful or even uncommon.. remember...

    A couple RotaryCraft questions.

    Hehe sorry, so yea the liquid distillator .. all this info is in one of Danilus's vids on yt btw, I've never had to use it so I don't know off the top of my head, but it's somehow used for making jet fuel without some ingredient..but still taking a 8x loss.. or something.. >_> The fuel engine is...

    A couple RotaryCraft questions.

    PonyKuu, like 95% of your questions are in the handbook. Rotarycraft is not a mod where you can just jump in creative, scatter everything on the ground, and it's all systems go. The remaining 5% is the shaft magnetization; yes that is a real way electricity is produced.

    Back From Break

    I haven't used ic2/gt since 1.2.5 almost. Coincidentally my monitor has received zero punches in the time that has elapsed since ^^ If you're looking for new tech challenge I would point you to Rotary/Reactorcraft, and Engineer's Toolbox, both of which are standard in the Monster pack :) (also...

    A Rotarycraft Thread (Meanders a little)

    It IS actually pretty wonderful when authors participate in the community, as opposed to say, E who shall not be named >_> Thank you @Reika :) Can the new limits on gearboxes be added to the manual please? Right now the only info in the changelogs is: "RotaryCraft: Redesigned gearbox damage...
