    Unique Base Design?

    As someone that has built several underwater bases I can tell you that it is EXTREMELY tedious. Don't underestimate the time involved to build underwater and then the removal of the water from inside the enclosure you've built. Also, flowing water en-mass is very unfriendly for your FPS which...

    How to generate 512 EU/t

    There's nothing to see really. Just a bubble 'E' shape with an extra "arm" to make 4 arms instead of 3. The upright of the 'E' is 29 tracks long and each of the 4 arms are 13 tracks long. There are 3 block spaces in between each of the arms and it's also 3 block spaces between all sections of...

    How to generate 512 EU/t

    This ^ or any solid fuel in generators for that matter. I generate 520 EU/t from 52 generators running on sawmilled planks from my SC tree farm. The wood powers a LP36 boiler generating 72 MJ/t and the surplus goes to the generators. Simple, effective and easy to set up. <awaits people...

    The Final Word on Steam Boiler Efficiency

    Can anyone tell me how many buckets of biofuel a HP36 takes to reach max temp please? I know from Zjarek's post above that it will only consume 1 bucketful every 124 secs once up to temp (thanks Zjarek). Unfortunately I have no programs on this machine to access xlsx files (and don't have...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Thanks and yes, it does matter how many saps it will need as I don't want to get to a point where the boiler is half way up to temp and then I run out of biofuel. Where is omricon? He knows all this stuff! :cool:

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Are you saying that 6 MJ/t from the REC output GUI will split across the machines to give 3 MJ/t each in the case of 2 stills, or it will deliver 6 MJ/t to both? I've got 5 stills set up here now and with the REC set to 6 MJ/t they are running slow. There's seems to be a performance boost...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Forestry wiki says stills take a max of 6 MJ/t. If I have 2 stills, do I need to set my REC output to 12 MJ/t then or will it feed both with 6 MJ/t from a 6 MJ/t setting? Not sure how the energy packets work with MJ. Also, can someone tell me how many saplings are needed per...

    EU problem with Mass Fabricator

    Right, I got you now guys, thanks. So it's the PACKET size that dictates whether or not machines explode, rather than the tick. OK. I've hooked the MF up to an MV and LV inline now and it's now running steady enough that my power gen can keep up. Unfortunately the slower rates now means I'm...

    EU problem with Mass Fabricator

    I just am doing in my test world now. Something weird going on. MFSU > MV = 512 EU/t measured on the fibre wire between them. MV > LV = also 512 EU/t ! LV > machine (mass fabricator/macertor/whatever) = 128 EU/t. I don't understand what's going on here? Why isn't the macerator exploding...

    EU problem with Mass Fabricator

    Hi, I'm trying to run my Mass Fabricator off my MFSU which is receiving 520 EU/t and also powering my ore processing set-up, but it's drawing too much power and I need to tone it down. I already have a structure pipe that has it turned off by default and only activates when it receives an...

    Bug with tesseracts or intentional behaviour?

    OK but can you explain why this is? If it's intentional then why can they be picked up by others using a pick? Surely it would be better just to let people use their crescent hammer on them as intended? Doesn't seem to make any sense.

    Bug with tesseracts or intentional behaviour?

    http://thermalexpansion.wikispaces.com/Tesseracts There's nothing about this issue mentioned above so I'm not sure whether this is a bug or intentional, but why can only the person who placed a tesseract remove it? We have quarries running on our server, each of which has its own energy...

    Low-maintenance or maintenance-free solar alternatives?

    SC tree farm > line of sawmills > solid fuel LP36 boiler = all MJ needs satisfied. Once boiler gets up to temp you will very quickly be swimming in excess wood, so : Planks > array of IC generators > MFSU = 10 EU/t x however many generators you have. We have a wall of 50 generators taking...

    Tree Farm and Boiler

    The SC tree farm produces a ridiculous amount of wood from a fairly small area if you make the track in an bubbled E shape and you make sure to leave 3 gaps between all of the track sections for the trees to grow. I've got a 36LP boiler being fed by it via a sawmill and the boiler is powering 9...

    Small hiccup trying to automate fermenters

    I thought I had it all worked out for my 3 fermenters : Power line across the back Water pipeline across the bottom Liquiduct pipeline across the front Item tesseract above middle one, hopper each over the other two Fertiliser in the .... ?? oh wait..... So fertiliser needs to go in the...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    What I meant by the dense ores is that in the previous version of Mystcraft you got larger veins of non-vanilla ores as well as vanilla ones, or at least they "spawned" much closer together. I read elsewhere on this forum that in the latest version the dense ores only applies to the vanilla ores...

    LP's and You/Youtube

    I agree with much of enigmus' comments above. As someone that doesn't make YT videos I'm putting myself directly in the firing line here, but imho the vast majority of minecraft LPs are incredibly bad. I think primarily you need to have that natural "gift" of being able to do good commentary...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    What's the deal with the latest Mystcraft? Can you still do intra-dimensional linking like in the previous version? I tried to make a link modifier but it wouldn't let me. At the moment we're teleporting between overworld bases by going via the End but it's a bit cumbersome. Also, have any...

    Extreme lag then crash.

    This is EXACTLY what happens to me. Anything leafy in large volumes = severe fps "lag" for me, so jungle biomes, redwood forests and any prolonged periods of wandering around in TF result in the fps slowly getting worse and worse before the memory leaks start where all blocks suddenly change...

    TE machines & inventory configuration

    Right, I see. Thanks - esp you Mil. I see the problem now - I was thinking of them as matching the colours up, so red for the right side on the pul and red for the left side on the smelter, to 'mate' the sides together, but I now see that each machine's colours actually in fact relate the...
