*ahem* called it.

It's 16x more energy per UU. and it's in the game because greg (the _clearly_ humble author of the gregtech mod) thinks everyone is a masochist and loves to grind for items for days before doing anything interesting.

but before that, he placed wire on the side of the two blocks and one in the center, which wouldn't have been possible before (and he himself said he didn't think he could do that).

Not on hand at the moment (by way of not having played RP2 in a while) but I can remember trying to run some wires around in a TBM had me annoyed by this a bit.

Greyed, you are correct, but I'd like to present the opposite side of the field. You are right in the first case, that an array lookup would be more easily expandable and editable, and you mention that people defend him by saying he's not a "master programmer" and you're correct that array...

Absinthe? =P Anyways, According to slow the 1.4.6 version of FTB will be dropping Saturday -- though he refused to say anything about which mods will be available at that time. I can only hope that Eloraam can get everything together by then. EDIT: several hours later...! Red alloy wire...

Yeah, I can't wait for optifine to work. Fortunately, it seems RP2 is almost finished for 1.4.5 so We're almost there.

This is the best way to understand how EU works:

To answer your question (and because I don't want to be that guy who yells at you for not checking the mod thread without any other explanation, though that IS what you should have done): This leads me to believe that it is indeed compatable, and (probably) works, since 4.1.2 is a few...

maybe, but I can imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to set up. of course, you could partially automate it (the building and destroying of tanks, that is) with RP2 once it's updated.

Is it just me, or does that seem like an easy way to make compressible liquid storage? (make a giant tank, fill with liquid, break all blocks except bottom center, repeat at y+1)

Replacing the Uranium cell with a thorium cell results in an increase from 88 recharges to 440 recharges -- in other words, a lot more, pretty much as many as you can get your hands on. using a dual thorium cell gives 880, so if you have an automatic setup and a LOT of depleted uranium, you can...

Like you said, I don't believe the turtles particularly care about lava/water. I don't know that dealing with it is necessary, unless they have a specific reason to do so.

Unless you don't plan to have your turtles just quarry out a huge area, and instead take a branch-mine approach (which is more fuel and time efficient, and reduces the levels of waste resources, i.e. cobblestone). EU would still likely be the best way to go, but not necessarily solar. of...

now, not breaking the center block on the bottom face of the tank will have it 'remember' its liquid level when the tank is reconnected. in that case, is it possible to expand the tank while keeping the liquid inside?

I imagine so, especially sine the fact that they release less heat means the heat level is a bit easier to control.

Oh, can they? I'm not very familiar with the advanced capabilities of turtles, so that's nice to know.

you wouldn't necessarily need enderchests. It would certainly be possible (though relatively inefficient) to travel back to deposit or charging stations. the diamonds would be collected by other turtles along their mining expeditions -- you'd only need three to start the process with the first...

A block analyzer? I was actually considering going over there and suggesting it at some point. to know that it's already in the works is nice to know. and while I suppose it's true that as a drone you wouldn't have the knowledge about anything else, in that case you would have to reprogram the...

Experimenting with turtles in general is interesting. I was thinking about trying to create a program that digs out a free-form ore deposit by digging out the blocks around itself and comparing them to blocks already in its inventory (to determine both if there is an ore deposit and in what...
