    Big Reactor Rotor question.

    They can produce more steam if cooled well. Benefit will vary depending on how hot it runs without coolant. As the rods get hotter it begins to impact the reactivity which will cut steam.

    Need help with Big Reactor turbines

    Heat in the reactor does not equal more steam production. The heat you see in the controller is waste heat. If you build it passive you will see high heat kills reactivity and reduces total power ouput -- this holds true with active cooling. You will produce more steam per area if you have...

    no hostile mobs

    lycan mob has had some despawning issues in the past. You might check for a new version than what is included in the pack or remove it and check spawning.

    NEI does not want to work on Minecraft 1.4.7

    From the logs misc peripherials and neiplugins might be a candidate to remove to see what happens. The best thing to do would be to remove all mods and start with just getting forge+NEI to work. Then get NEI addon/plugins. Then add back the other mods... if you are optimistic add them...

    Need help with Big Reactor turbines

    Yeah i have never tried the fantasy materials. This page has some info on them and they all seem to actually be below enderium in turbines you can actually build. http://ftbwiki.org/Big_Reactors/HighestPowerData

    Need help with Big Reactor turbines

    Note the GUI on the reactor only shows the steam per tick it could send. This is limited by how much water it has available and if it can send steam anywhere. A 42000RF passive reactor should translate to a little less than that in steam per tick. Each turbine max can use 2000 mb of steam per...

    Is Rotarycraft stupidly difficult or am I the stupid one?

    Here are some experiments on the bedrock breaker: http://imgur.com/a/PyCJz this is how i selected gearing: Bedrock breaker requires 2 MW of power with a minimum torque of 8192. First to get to 2MW of power. Two things seem reasonable: 4x max height hydrokenitic engines or 1x microturbine The...

    Is Rotarycraft stupidly difficult or am I the stupid one?

    Here is a sample extractor + multiclutch setup in 25z using 4 steam engines for power: http://imgur.com/a/iQCzH Dynamo screens are optional, just there to help show what the output is at what stage. I took the speed all the way to 64k, but you can stop at the first 16:1 conversion in stone to...

    Is Rotarycraft stupidly difficult or am I the stupid one?

    Total Power does not change. Gearing trades speed for torque or torque for speed. Speed * torque = total power. If you could get both more speed and more torque from something you would be getting free power. If you need more speed or torque change the gearing in the path. If you need...

    Is Rotarycraft stupidly difficult or am I the stupid one?

    I think this is the core of the issue. Again I have not played RC in a while, but the in game book or a wiki site should give you a reference on minimum speed and torque each step of the extractor requires. The reward of 5x ore processing is behind solving the challenge of powering the...

    Is Rotarycraft stupidly difficult or am I the stupid one?

    You don't sound like you are approaching the mod with the midset you want to learn how to use it. Sounds like you just want the final output -- 5x ores and are looking for the easiest shortcut you can take to get there. I don't remember the extractor being that complicated to run. I tested...

    Is Rotarycraft stupidly difficult or am I the stupid one?

    Don't all the engines have their own spin up time? Try using that monitor block between the engines to see what they are outputting. I haven't played rotarycraft in a while, but I recall junctions require the speed to match.

    3 Steam Dynamos hooked up to a leadstone storage?

    I have been using ender IO for my last few worlds, but I thought all the TE cable limits were on the connections and the trunks had basically unlimited power throughput? In 1.6.4, most TE machines only accept/request 20-40 RF/t, so they can have the cheapest cable on them. Magma Crucible is...

    3 Steam Dynamos hooked up to a leadstone storage?

    To answer your question, yes cutting down a tree takes more power. Harvester consumes power for every block removed. On farms like potato/carrot etc it is one block. For a tree like birch or a small oak you get the 4-6 logs plus 30+ leaves. A large oak is many times that. Harvester is...

    Hostile mobs won't spawn in the overworld

    FTFY. You cannot count on the game doing what it should. Many things can cause hostile mobs to not despawn even in vanilla zombies that pickup items will not despawn. It is very easy to then reach the mob cap and have little to no spawning around you. OP, do you have: Lycanites Mobs, special...

    MFR Auto-Spawning not spawning Squid...

    Whats your room setup? It does require water or maybe any liquid, but I only used water. My setup was spawner flush with the floor and then a single water source block over the spawner. I have had it both directly on top of the spawner or the source block controlled by a piston in the ceiling...

    Was it the modem the whole time? Maybe your program hung on trying to use it through the face of f the computer.

    MFR Safari Net Thermal Expansion Recipe?

    Yea i guess a personal rule would work as well. Like no auto-spawner till after the ender dragon. Was just enjoying minetweaker and editing config files to get a fresh feel to 1.6.4. Not sure what would be scarce without the auto-spawner as I got so used to b-lining for it that I usually...

    MFR Safari Net Thermal Expansion Recipe?

    Asked a similar thing on reddit. Thought I would get some feedback here as well. What would you do to make safari net more of a late game item? I was using minetweaker to force me to try some new playstyles/mods. Tried a run with just netherstar in place of tear and it changes the timing a...
