    How large is your world in memory space?

    The flash memory in SSDs have a limited number of read and write cycles. Individual cells tend to only last a couple hundred thousand (SLC) to only ten thousand (MLC, TLC) cycles. Modern SSDs have onboard controllers which average wear across the entire drive, and the drives have extra cells...

    computer craft monitor help

    Note that sleep rounds to 0.05th of a second, due to how ticks work. Your first issue is that Monitors do not normally support the Print command -- that's causing the try-to-call-nil error. More seriously, there are issues with how monitors reset their cursors -- ie, not at all...

    computer craft monitor help

    Do note that Monitors will not automatically clear themselves, or reset the cursor position, if you run a long program. Not with base ComputerCraft, at least. MiscPeripherals adds a Chatbox device that can send and receive to chat.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    The traditional solution, assuming you're running a FTB pack, is to start a pigman farm (for gold) or an Enderman farm (for Ender Pearls), and then use a minium stone to convert those materials into extra iron ingots. If you're running a pack without monster spawners, or are ideologically...

    As of 10.4, it is extremely rare (and may not be possible) to run into the less predictable instabilities from a Random Age. Potion effects, lightning strikes, and Explosions are the most common, and then tend to be very obvious. Black Decay and White Decay should only occur with extremely bad...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    You can make Random Ages without using any Symbols, and especially in Mystcraft 0.10.4 this is a recommended start. Inside these Ages, there's a high chance of structures called Ancient Libraries forming, and these have pages in their Lecturns and hidden in chests within them.

    I will warn that this hasn't been very reliably in the past -- some versions will just dump all the water sources in the same block, wasting them. Test in Creative on your setup first. ((If it does, you can use Ice Blocks and melt them, but that's not slower, if more UU-inexpensive.))

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Almost all useful liquid targets are tanks, either machine tanks or liquid storage tanks. There are a handful of things that can dump water from buckets into the world, but because dumping water sources onto a water source does overwrites the target, it's not terribly helpful here. Grates work...

    Thermal Expansion Status

    KingLemming said in May that Zeldo was working on a form of Item Transportation within ThermalExpansion, but it's being done for completeness, since both Infinitubes and Applied Energistics are very good computationally. The additional conduit tiers and energy cell tiers post is here.

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Do not forget to have a sleep (or preferably os.pullEvent("redstone") ) in the while loop if you try a project like that, or the program may be forcibly terminated at a random interval.

    Multifarm throttling

    With how gearboxes work, throttling energy can be a tricky proposition. The Farm Control block will deactivate the farm completely if a redstone signal comes from above, or only deactivate one side if the redstone signal comes from the side. A ComputerCraft machine set to toggle on and off...

    Ampz + Ultimate = AWESOMENESS

    Does that spreadsheet measure severity of issue? I remember Saice having critical problems for a day or so at his ship, which didn't involve any of those four listed mods (I think BC pipes and MFR?). I applaud you for running such a big pack, but there are consistency and coherency and simple...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    The 36-sized steam boilers are the most efficient, at 9k MJ/HU if you run the thing for hundreds of hours and consume all of the output energy. You need to run the boiler for more than 19 hours just to meet combustion engine efficiency, and consume or store every drop of steam that comes out...

    1.6 goning to be released 12:00 pt time

    A version's been released to the Forge File Server, but outside of the Iron Chests mod, nothing's been updated for it, and please note that this is a fairly early release and will likely have bugs on top of the normal issues.

    Nuclear Energy

    Yes, heating cells will remain active regardless of whether the reactor has redstone signal (this can cause problems if you aren't careful -- always add heating cells after you have the plates in place!). They will turn flicker on and off to keep a system at a certain heat value, determined by...

    1.6 goning to be released 12:00 pt time

    "Jenkins" is just the name of a genericable build server, in this case, they're refering to the jenkins.minecraftforge.net server. However, this requires a login, and the code on it is /not intended for normal users/. It will not work well, may not work at all, and often will have...

    Nuclear Energy

    Breeder Reactors require at least one normal "healthy" Uranium / Thorium / Plutonium Cell for every four Depleted Cell slots, which is consumed (and generates power) at the normal rate for its cell type (and heat as if each neighboring depleted cell was a Uranium Cell). This means you have two...

    Idea for Large New FTB Server

    I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. I'm also going to presume that United States law is your major focus, although note that technically international compliance can matter if you have international players (although actually enforcing laws internationally just doesn't happen on...

    Thoughts on MFR

    Make sure to follow the directions precisely : Immibis' work is a little unique in that the mod with "core" in its name only needs to go in the mods directory, while the microblocks actually are a coremod and need to go in the coremod list. If that's not your issue, can you provide a crashlog?

    Nuclear Energy

    If you have ComputerCraft, you can use a second Fuzzy Import/Export Bus paring to slurp out any partly-enriched cells for the last minute of your fuel's run, then pulse the depleted cell bus twice to fill the gap. You might even be able to do it with vanilla Redstone, although you'd have to be...
