    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    I saw him mention on a different thread that he did nerf the HTGR heat output to preclude people abusing them which is understandable. However, I would assume that he does still intend for them to be a legitimate rung on the ReC ladder so I want to make it work before progressing to the next...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    Strange, clearly there is at least one mechanic that I still don't understand. The above 3x4 setup did heat up enough to generate a bit of steam and get a 5 stage turbine up to 60MW before cooling all the way back down to 700C for 15 minutes and doing nothing. There must be a random chance...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    So far I've tested (single layer only) 1 CO2 HEX surrounded by 8 pebble beds full of fresh triso fuel pellets in the desert during the day at y-level 5 with every face of the heat exchanger and pebble beds surrounded by covers or strips which I've read count as full blocks and thus thermal...

    [ReactorCraft] Thorium Fuel Pellets?

    I am playing RoC (v7f)/ReC (v7f) on a small private server and have finally gotten around to attempting to build my first reactor. I've not yet had very much luck getting a HTGR hot enough to produce more than a tiny trickle of hot carbon dioxide gas so I decided to play with thorium instead...

    Help with performance

    I would very highly recommend adding Opis (Mobius Core also needed) to your mod list and using it to help track down any culprits. In my experience it is either a mod going rogue and do far too many updates (Flaxbeard) or too many entities which dominate tick time compared to bases.

    Thaumcraft 4.2 Node Bullying Questions

    Two nodes that size directly adjacent to each other would spark every few seconds. My money is with the others above that you do not have a recent enough version to have the node bullying mechanic included.

    Changing Machine Mod bye bye IC2?

    I routinely world hole all the spawn chunks on every world I play on so that there are no entities or tile entities in those chunks. I might add back a farm but usually it is a giant gash. Looks crap but I'll take those 2-3 ms of tick time processing chunks I don't look at any day of the week.

    Ender Pearl farm?

    Steve's Factory Manager does an amazing job of automating the ender-lily seeds from Extra Utilities. Here is a video I made showing how I set the whole thing up. Except for the acceleration via a reinforced watering can, this is pretty early game stuff.

    Question about the ender quarry

    Fortune III is all fine and good but if you have Draconic Evolution and RotaryCraft both in the pack you can Silk Touch/Fortune V. Gotta love OP crossmod interactions!

    A few things I have noticed about modded mc from a hardware standpoint

    It seems like I am getting pretty snappy frame rates on infinity 1.5.1 compared to a lot of other hardware setups so let me detail what I'm using in case anyone else wants to duplicate it. I used a shoestring budget because well I don't like spending a lot of money on something that will be a...

    That's not true, you have an aqueous accumulator running that irrigation system :)

    A few things I have noticed about modded mc from a hardware standpoint

    Interestingly I switched from the default MC resolution to 1280x720 to try to align our testing closer (that is what Middleclaw runs for streaming) and my fps jumped up to 414-380 fps. So there really might not be a difference between our two procs as far as fps goes. We can do other tests as...

    A few things I have noticed about modded mc from a hardware standpoint

    His video card is beefier than mine but with the settings you asked for (clouds off, smooth lighting off, particles decreased) I'm pretty stable at 327-336 fps. I am using an MSI GeForce GTX 750Ti with 2GB of GDDR5. I'll try again in a bit when garbage collection starts happening; my allocated...

    A few things I have noticed about modded mc from a hardware standpoint

    As another data point it takes me 1m36s to load the same pack Middleclaw is loading and I'm using a dual core Haswell running at 3.0GHz (Intel G3220). Haswells have the highest ipc of any core out there but he loads markedly faster and I'm sure not just because of the clock speed since my chip...

    Possible to auto-regulate power of Ender Quarry?

    Yes, the boilers produce EXACTLY 400 mB/t. I make 5 turbine fluid ports and put the 5 steam boilers directly against them. They will automatically expel the 400 mB/t of steam into the turbine w/o any piping needed. That turbine will stay absolutely rock solid at 28,059 RF/t with 32 ludicrite...

    Possible to auto-regulate power of Ender Quarry?

    The suggestion to regulate the power flow rate into the quarry with an energy cell is spot on and exactly how I would do it if I were strapped for power and still wanted to run an ender quarry albeit very slowly. As others have said eventually you may wish to generate much larger amounts of...

    Where are all the decent servers?

    After reading through this thread I'm thinking my first server was a lucky find. We are a small group and we would like a few other good players but we play infinity 1.4.1 with ReactorCraft and RotaryCraft added in lag free. There are no banned items nor griefing not that any of us would. We...

    No bother, I responded on the youtube video first before I saw this message. Are the block gates pointed straight down at the ender cores?

    i need help with my fps! :'(

    I had similar issues with 1.4.1 and for me upgrading java from 7u80 to 8u45 and giving the FTB launcher 4.0GB of RAM rather than 2.5GB has helped a lot. I also turned up the frame rate limit from 60 to 100 fps though I doubt will help when fps drops to 2.
