    Thaumcraft 4; afraid to use crucible

    The easiest way I've found to use a crucible is to first dissolve the essentia you want in the alchemical furnace, and put it into warded jars. Then, just use a phial on the jar, and you'll get x8 of that pure essentia. Then, when using the crucible, you can use multiples of essentia to make...

    What do you guys do when you start a world?

    What I do is I try to find an obscure corner in a server, and get wrenches + diamond pickaxe as quickly as possible. Then, I go into the nether, and use that as a quick express way to other people's bases (because they ALWAYS put the nether portal next to their base). Then, at night when no...

    Rotary Craft CVT machine not outputting

    You need to pipe/use some lubricant on the CVT to get it to work. It doesn't consume lube. it is a fairly recent change Reika put in, and he's been dragging his feet with in-game documentation about it.

    More Anarchy Servers

    Also, most anarchy servers are filled with people who just x-ray and hack their way into stuff.

    boring machine from rotarycraft is not doing its thing

    I've never dealt with magical crops, so I don't know what might be causing that. All I know is that, if you want to go through obsidian, you'll need 8192 NM of torque. That is the hardest object to go through, and 512 is necessary for everything else in vanilla and many other mods. If you...

    rotarycraft: how do you use it/are there any geeks out there using?

    You rang? I'm helping most people out with rotarycraft lately, since I love playing with that mod. First, there are 3 tools you should always have with you when doing rotarycraft stuff. Now, I don't have nearly the hardware or stage presence to do a lets play, but I'll try and explain some...

    boring machine from rotarycraft is not doing its thing

    Ah... it was a mistake on my part. When you said "gas engine" I assumed you meant "gas turbine" and not "gasoline engine". A gas turbine would have enough torque to power the boring machine by itself. A gasoline engine needs 4 times the normal torque to do so. As for why it works in the test...

    rotarycraft...yet again.

    Well, the bedrock breaker can break bedrock up to 4 blocks in front of it, so in any one placement you can get up to 8 dusts. But otherwise, the bedrock breaker can't break bedrock that isn't there, so you'll have to move it to get more dusts.

    boring machine from rotarycraft is not doing its thing

    Double check? You'd be amazed how often something like that slips in, no matter how well versed in minecraft someone might be. I've seen threads span pages before someone figured out the problem was that a lever was de-powering a nearby block or something silly like that. Other than that...

    boring machine from rotarycraft is not doing its thing

    Generic problem time: #1: Do you have both the engine and the clutch oriented in the right position? Green is input and red is output; sometimes the machines don't work because a shaft or a device is backwards. #2: Do you have the clutch powered by a redstone signal? The clutch will not...

    Rotarycraft Boring machine

    You don't need any special tool. Just use a pick and the industrial coil will keep its stored power.

    Golems disapears?

    There are a couple of things that can happen to golems. #1: they can get stuck wandering after a fallen item. This happens sometimes, and you'll find the golems off the side of a cliff. #2: They can be killed by mobs. This happens a lot if you have something like Mo' Creatures installed...

    Rotarycraft Boring machine

    As far as I can tell, the industrial coil doesn't input and output at the same time, effectively doubling the time it takes to mine.

    Rotarycraft Boring machine

    Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to fix the bore other than to pick it up and put it back down. However, if you can put up to 8192 NM of torque into the bore, it'll go through obsidian. Though that option is a bit more expensive, since the only way to reliably do that is with a...

    Rotarycraft - the mindblower and builds

    @twisto51: Have you tried using an item vacuum to pull the items into a hopper from behind a wall? I've found that works really well. Anyway, The shaft junction has two things to adjust: #1: If you shift + right click, it will change the junction's mode. You can alternate between two...

    Rotarycraft - the mindblower and builds

    The thing with Rotarycraft is that it is a relatively new mod, and not everyone has figured out how everything works yet. For something like baitboxes in the end, it is best to just go into creative mode and try it yourself. Anyway, since so many people have no idea how to do stuff in...

    Magic or Tech?...

    I tend to use whatever fits my fancy at the moment... which usually leads to a strange mishmash of things. For example, I absolutely love Thaumcraft, but I can't get in to BloodMagic, Dartcraft, or Witchery. I absolutely love Rotarycraft, but I don't care much for IC2 or BC or factorization...

    Quick Question about Jetpacks In RotaryCraft

    The jetpacks are fueled with ethanol, but you'll need to melt down the crystals. Thankfully, the filling station melts the crystals for you.

    Rotarycraft - the mindblower and builds

    Specializing partly in this mod for my most recent playthrough, I can definitely say that the steel requirements for higher tiers of machines is what paces the majority of the mod. To manage the ore processing from the extractor, there are several steps you need to go through, and they can get...
