    Whitelist Server [1.6.4] JCraft Dedicated Server 100+ Tech mods and more!

    Nothing out of the ordinary, I've been working on bees for most of the afternoon and have just been using bee machines and an alveary. Are there any error messages that might help narrow it down?

    Gregtech Appreciation Thread

    The thing that I like most about GT is the way that it lengthens the game experience. I've tried servers without it and they always seem extremely lacking in longevity. Once you're experienced in the other mods, it's rather easy to hit "end-game" (if you'll pardon such fuzzy terminology) where...

    Whitelist Server [1.6.4] JCraft Dedicated Server 100+ Tech mods and more!

    Oh noes! .. Dirt is once again my master. :( If any of the Jcraft admin happen upon this thread before logging in; please could you pop on and empower us with the block breaking? .. :) .. GolvaD and I are currently taking turns starving to death.

    Possible bug in portal gun?

    Gravity Gun also does this. People tend to use it for making super-fast T5 shards and for silktouching Iridium in a cheaty way.

    Powersuits OP?

    Agreed, it's the accessibility that's the problem. With the cheap recipes you can reach invulnerability extremely quickly. Shifting to a more expensive recipe is the way to go.

    Nuclear vs Solar... dafuq?

    I never bother with solars. I can understand the argument that they're OP because they're 1 block that requires no fuel; but in the length of time required to gather the materials to make a single HV solar, you can verrrrry easily build a fully self-sustaining power system that massively...

    Avoiding power loss over distance?

    Nah, mate .. an industrial grinder cycle costs 12800 EU per ore, or (if you put the module in) it costs 12800 MJ per ore. All the module does is change the machine from using EU to using MJ, it doesn't account for conversion in any way, it's a 1:1 ratio. That's per hardmode GT on the most...

    Applied Energistics keep x number of item in machine?

    Advanced Clay Golems have the functionality that you need; not sure if anything else in the pack does. Slap the little bugger next to 3 marked chests, seeds/potatoes/carrots and tell him to keep 32 of each in the planter. Job done.

    Avoiding power loss over distance?

    Small note on the GT MJ module; it's extremely energy inefficient. Industial Grinder uses 12,800 EU per ore or 12,800 MJ per ore with the module installed. Given that the common ration of MJ:EU is 1:2.5, that's an increase to 32,000 EU per ore. That's a lot to pay for a little convenience...

    Whitelist Server [1.6.4] JCraft Dedicated Server 100+ Tech mods and more!

    My main concern is that, even with the GT recipe adding the carbon plate requirement, they're still way cheaper than solar panels, and the removal of the fluctuation mechanic makes 'em very powerful indeed. No real biggee; if I don't like them I can just ignore them and pretend they don't...

    Whitelist Server [1.6.4] JCraft Dedicated Server 100+ Tech mods and more!

    Aye, I just read about the rotor system; it's gonna be one of those things that's hard to judge without tinkering with it a bit. At first glance, 2048eu/t from a single block with no fuel or advanced material costs just seems a little bit. .. :/ Time will tell I suppose.

    Will be gregtech in the future FTB packs?

    Also the ability to light nether portals with a fire charge; all you have to do is find a desert for some blaze dust. With the exception of the thermal generator (which is flat out OP on any server that allows lava pumping); I agree completely. The other generators feel like ancillary ones...

    [Poll] Do you use Gregtech?

    Never has in the past, unless something has changed.

    Whitelist Server [1.6.4] JCraft Dedicated Server 100+ Tech mods and more!

    Nicenice, cheers for the update. :) Kinda relieved about compact windmills to be honest, from what I understand it's pretty overpowered in a GT pack as the mod author removed wind fluctuation so the top tier windmill reliably kicks out as much as a plasma generator and is (relative to other...

    Will be gregtech in the future FTB packs?

    Kinda dumb to make that change before he put in the consumable "matches" that he's planning, but at least you can light portals with fire charges, and blaze powder from cinderpearl flowers isn't too hard to find.

    How to build 800+ Coke Oven setups semi automated??

    This is actually something that I was considering doing not so long ago. It may be the the most efficient use of a wood farm's log output. Creosote oil has a pretty good heat value in railcraft boilers.

    New Greg-Tech items?

    Well, Osmium is the resource used in the Universal Electricity mods. Not sure what the Thorium/Plutonium ingots are for. Plates are a new component created with the plate bending machine (also GT). Lots of recipes got changed to require plates.

    Besides MC, what have you been playing lately?

    Chivalry. An axe to the face is always fun. Don't Stave. Didn't starve, but got 'et by bats. Still tinkering with Skyrim. Never seem to get far with it or play it for very long, but always seem to gravitate back to it.

    Will be gregtech in the future FTB packs?

    As far as we know, yep. It's in Ultimate/Mindcrack/Tech World now and I haven't heard anything about it being removed. It's not in Direwolf20/YogCraft/Magic World.
