    How to increase liquid pumped in/out?

    3 valves should more than supply 9 geothermals, there must be something wrong with the setup: First, ensure the tank input tesseract is directly on the iron tank valve, don't run piping from it because pipes have limited I/O when the tesseract can move quite a bit, like a full bucket a tick...

    Your favorite transparent blocks

    reinforced glass. while its not transparent, it has a connecting texture and only one side of it shows when looking at the glass from any angle. i built a snazzy basement design using it, while having it thick enough to provide proper blast resistance to the basement nukes. It looks good in...

    Do you struggle with "convenience" cheating?

    I think that convenience cheating is a great way to never improve your play style. If there's no risk of death, you never learn to be cautious, smart, and properly prepared for challenges. If you turn off mobgreifing, you never learn to properly mob-proof a building area. Exploding machines I...

    are you judging it based on mining speed? i dont know of any way to see blast resistance other than gregtech which isnt in unleashed. As an example, iridium blocks have a blast resistance of 300 or 600 but are mined like butter.

    You said you don't have TE, but what about MFR? You can convert MJ to EU via the oil/lava intermediary from an oil or lava fabricator. The conversion ratios aren't great but it gets the job done.

    Was ethanol nerfed?

    The count doesn't mean anything, though its matchable by forestry anyway. Big point is that forestry bred saplings can provide about 10x more fuel than a BoP standard sapling in a bioreactor. I have one fermenter running 24 stills full throttle, and have had to go so far as to put multiple...

    GTA FTB Heists

    Lately the people spying (NSA) are, at least constitutionally, a criminal organization. /cynic Yeah, people are too PC, but the glorification of countercultures that value ignorance is a touchy subject for some. In the end, its just meant as a vehicle for competition. People need to chillax.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Tc's checks seem to be directly related to trunks and leaves. TC will not chop down trees with shrinking trunk columns, like the redwood, but s soonas you get rid of the trink base that's wider than the main trunk, it wlll cut down a 30-high redwood from a BoP biome flawlessly. This might be...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    For all shaped/shapeless recipes that don't require a machine for assembly, you should use a molecular assembly chamber with the pattern, not a table external to the network. There are some exceptions to this rule, mainly tiny dusts and any sort of square packing that can be done in an...

    if you make any changes to the network, either via dark cables, chunks getting unloaded, or adding components, the crafting queue will reset. also, if a craft request takes too long in any fashion or doesnt produce the desired outcome, exactly, it will reset. As a test, time how long it takes...

    MFR treefarm issues!

    what kind of tree is it? also, is there open space up the length of the tree as well as the ground floor around where the trunk could grow? lets say, for example, you were using exterabiomesXL 2x2 redwoods and had a cobblestone 'ring' around the base of the farm at the same height of the...

    What mod do you use for early game ore processing?

    I think his point is that a pulverizer and engine with fuel aren't expensive enough to warrant spending time and resources on the grindstone. It would only make sense for someone who doesn't cave down to y=16 early and instead goes for cave completionism starting up high.

    Colecting items in a large radius

    The things drag down the area even when not harvesting simply by having large ranges set via upgrades, both in FPS and tick lag. I assume that its checking every block in the area for trees in rapid succession causing larger areas to be more laggy. It might have been changed/fixed since 1.47.

    Colecting items in a large radius

    If you're worried about lag, the last thing you need to be doing is setting up a gigantic treefarm out of laziness instead of a small pen with a sewer. Not sure what it is about MFR farms, but they seem to cause significant strain at llarger sizes on both server performance and fps. Shutting...

    Seed Oil or Low Efficiency Biofuel?

    Yeah, my head was somewhere else when I posted that. Doh! Thanks for the correction.

    Colecting items in a large radius

    The farms tend to have a collection radius beyond their borders, but only if the ground around the farm is on the same level as the dirt/humus/etc. My farm will grab stuff about 5 blocks from the planting edge.

    Seed Oil or Low Efficiency Biofuel?

    I'd just produce via MJ and run it through an electric engine. If I recall, that machine is incredibly inefficient.

    When do you build a Gravi-chestplate/Quantum armor?

    As soon as I have to build underwater. I go for the advanced nano jetpack and stick with it, but building underwater is just frustrating without a gravichest. It makes you move fast, you don't get pulled by water flow, and you then have the headpiece for breathing.
