In-Game Name: bigtwisty Name: Not on a first date... I'm not that kind of boy. How long have you been playing minecraft? Since before Technic even existed. Do you have experience on Feed the Beast? Ran a test server CaptainAna gave me before the release. Been playing since. Have you ever been...

Are you planning on adding server promotion subsections for these FTB versions?

For the cheapest "high output" system, I've got two turtles (gate reading mining and gate reading engineering) that work together to clear a chunk from 70 to bedrock in about 20 minutes. I set it up to mine 9 chunks at a time so I can use a chunk loader. It only burns 2/3 of a redstone cell...

As far as I can tell, the race condition would actually be <after move initiation> and <before write>. This would include move time, as the turtle's location is changed at the start of the movement. This move time is not inconsequential and coding for it may be appropriate. Or write to the...

ME Bridge and a ComputerCraft computer works for me.

I wonder if this was because it ended up running too fast, at one stair/piston per tick? If we slowed it down with computer control a bit, it still might work. Just an idea to play with. MFR rednet with a PRC might just do the trick.

Turtles. If you are still on 4.7 RP2 filters.

Has anyone ever done a computer controlled zipper elevator? That would be an interesting application of truly old school vanilla crossed with modern mods. Come to think of it, I may have to play with that!

Namias is correct. The function you are calling doesn't exist. Are the two lines right next to each other in your code? It could be a problem of variable scope. You also might try m.getXP() or m.getLevels() to see if the interface itself is wrapping at all. Edit: just realized. The first...

Why don't you post the question you've been waiting on an answer from here? Either myself or someone else could probably help.

Microsoft Works. The only software title that is impossible in and of itself.

Yes, there is another forum for this.. There are many, in fact. There are also wikis for just about every mod in FTB, but that doesn't keep us from having a centralized FTB wiki, does it? I was thinking that a sub-forum for LUA and Forth might generate more interest. People would have to know...

I honestly think that this deserves its own forum. Code issues can get quite involved, making consolidating anything interesting into a single post quite problematic. If there WAS a forum for this, I would be willing to help with questions.

IGN: bigtwisty Age: 35 Reason we should let you join: You want people to play on your server. I want to play on your server. Seems like a win-win situation, unless I turn out to be a foul mouthed griefer with an attitude... but at 35 I hope I've outgrown that stuff by now! :)...

It creates the new portal, yes. However, if you have pressure plates in front of the portal powering the igniter, it will end up turning the portal back off. Kind of like having a pressure plate just inside your house door: you open it by hand, walk in, and the pressure plate closes it.

Ars Magica could use villager sacrifice to unlock dark magic spells. Also, how cool would it be to walk into an Incan village from Millenaire and see some priest performing a sacrifice? I know, I'm a sick, sick man. These are available from both Hidden Rooms and Ars Magica. The Ars Magica...

I've noticed something interesting about using storage buses with barrels: they don't care what side of the barrel they are on. I have a wall of barrels for farmed items (for count restriction) with storage buses on the back. They still store and retrieve items with no issues. Oh, and I have a...

A. That really isn't a crap ton. B. How much do you really need this system to be able to handle? If you need it to handle REALLY high throughput, I recommend using the sorting machine. Set up all your major processors, preferably advanced machines, with filters running into the tops. Put...

How about that chunk where you just mined 2 iridium ores? That wouldn't be a bad chunk reset! --------------------------------------------------------- A reasonable facsimile of intelligence...

I definitely agree. End game is PERFECTLY reachable using quarries. It is also reachable with iron picks, it just takes a lot longer. It's all about how much time it takes to gather those resources. If I can mine more ore with 2 turtles, at a fraction of the start up and energy costs, how...
