    ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

    I had my reservoirs set up exactly like this on my HP turbine (the one you were helping me troubleshoot in the Fission reactor design thread), but they were not collecting low pressure water. I'll venture a guess that the HP turbine is buggy/not fully implemented in v23c, but I just thought...

    ReC manual says "low pressure water can be extracted from beneath the rear of the turbine using reservoirs or BC tanks". I have tried all manner of pipes below the center of the largest stage. None will visually connect to the multiblock. I have tried a large area of reservoirs underneath the...

    Unfortunately, it's just the nature of minecraft to have to be careful with chunkloading. Even in the days of Railcraft boilers being the best available power source, you had to ensure your water and fuel supply were chunkloaded if the boiler was chunkloaded, lest you starve it and cool it down...

    Where (and how) do you extract Low-p water from the HP turbine?

    I'm guessing you meant 'more THAN two rods', but I don't understand why. Shouldn't one rod placed in the neutron path between two cores stop all neutron interaction? I can get the HP turbine multiblock to form no problem, but when it runs, it will occasionally rapidly 'flip' its orientation...

    He's asking if the chunk loader shutting off (and thus unloading the chunks without shutting off the server) is the proximate cause of the meltdown, or if, during server restart, the order in which items load might cause the meltdown. If the reactor is fully within one chunk and surrounded by...

    Well, I assign you partial blame for this (;)) since you SAID it was safe! I've put everything back together and deleted the radiation entities. I'm going to give this a try: (R = Control Rod, C = Core, B = Boiler, N = Neutron Reflector. Please ignore my poor choice of color palate; I'm...

    Thanks for the tip. Killing the radiation entities worked just fine. I think the effort I would have had to go to in order to move my entire base might have caused me to stop playing until the next world reset. I'll try the transfer nodes. I'm pretty sure running out of water is what caused...

    As did my design that copied your 6-core. I hadn't even had it running for 24 hours. I, too, am using MCPC, because it's pretty much required to keep our server in good shape. I think my meltdown occurred on server restart. I found my 3x3 water pools empty, so I think on server restart, some lag...

    @Reika, I'm having problems with the HP turbine crashing my entire client (but not the server) with error "Ticking Tile Entity". It appears that every so often, the 7-stage turbine I built wigs out and "rebuilds" itself (you can see this in-game by the turbine reversing its render rapidly)...

    Automatically removing items from inventoried items?

    Have you tried space + click? It empties your entire inventory (except your hotbar) into a container or vice versa. You can probably empty most containers into your inventory in one click, and when your inventory is full, you can then space click your inventory into a diamond chest connected to...

    What's the point of RotaryCraft?

    Fans and DC or Steam engines. Plant canola in front of the fans. Check the range by transducer on the fans. Put hoppers in before the range runs out (optional - vacuum hoppers or RC item vacuum). Pipe from hoppers to grinder. Done! Only the first set of canola requires manual planting. Fan...

    GasCraft - need help with lag

    Ok, thanks for the info. I have to admit, this whole process is pretty frustrating, with the modular sockets and the configuration and slickwater, only to get the wrong product at the end. And then you only get 60 rf/t out of one gas generator. I think I'm throwing up my hands on this one...

    GasCraft - need help with lag

    New problem! In my quest to figure out how this natural gas stuff works, I dove into the Engineers' Toolbox mod and made some fracking modules. However, when I set them up correctly, they output oil no matter what type of shale resource they are placed on. I found what is clearly a shale oil...

    If this continues to be a problem, I will either re-gen the chunks or set the ID to zero. Thanks for the help! Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    GasCraft - need help with lag

    I tried actually harvesting the blocks from the ravine roof with Engineers Toolbox fans. That turned out to be a massive PITA because the fans have relatively short range and only work on the same y-level. Also, it appeared that disturbing one of the gas tile entites caused it to start growing...

    GasCraft - need help with lag

    Yes, they are tile entities that should be called Natural Gas in Opis. It would be wonderful to have a baseline amount to compare to. I suspect that in your 441 chunk area that a few pockets exist, so a couple hundred to a thousand wouldn't surprise me. I think our problem is that someone was...

    GasCraft - need help with lag

    Thanks for the responses, guys! I agree that it's odd to end up with 17,000 TEs for this, but based on my knowledge of gascraft, the gas blocks split into additional TEs by splitting the 'concentration' of gas in one TE to multiple, new TEs. The TEs spread and then dissipate if concentration...

    GasCraft - need help with lag

    Hi all, I'm having a server problem with GasCraft. I don't know how, but someone has apparently exposed a gas source block in a cavern/ravine. I now have, according to Opis, about 17,000 tile entities of natural gas spread over the irregular roof of the ravine and causing a lot of lag as they...

    Need advice with rotarycraft and reactor craft.

    Sugarcane is way easier for ethanol. I use IC2 crop sticks for the canes, harvest them from MFR, and then pulverize them into sugar and use them as the plant material to make sludge. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
