    How to start RotaryCraft?

    My idea is an attempt to push players through the tech tree as originally intended. They would need to build progressively more powerful engines (or spam a ton of lower tier engines) to open up the next level. A specific example might be the magnetostatic, which also happens to be the main...

    How to start RotaryCraft?

    I didn't see any comments from @Reika on this idea, but I think it would fit well and help resolve the issue with people jumping to the endgame. Imagine grinding a steel ingot into two steel dust halves. These could be combined with coal dust halves to make a slightly stronger steel alloy for...

    How to start RotaryCraft?

    It's a statistical average, so with only a few ores you could get more or less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to start RotaryCraft?

    What do you think of using higher power levels to produce increasingly fine ore dusts? Finer dusts could be combined at more specific ratios to create stronger alloys or something. I'm thinking of the various grades of steel depending on the carbon content and other additives. It's realistic...

    Whitelist Server Aurora 24/7 FTB [Monster 1.1.0] [ATG] [Whitelist] [Lockette] [Essentials] [Dynmap] [TS3] [16+]

    Agreed. Last time it didn't go well. I was in favour of adding gregtech at that time. If we decide to revisit gregtech in the future, I would recommend we look at the configs that TPPI is using and base ours off of that for all the easy mode settings. My second recommendation would be...

    Your take on unique ways of generating power (Direwolf20)

    Hmm, interesting. A geostrata regen potion crystal would probably work.... I know for sure it heals villagers. Just pop one down somewhere along the loop and you'd be set. As a side note, the fan from open blocks runs forever for free and is very cheap to make. It's not fast, but you can...

    Your take on unique ways of generating power (Direwolf20)

    When I first learned of those I immediately went into my creative world and started to experiment. The idea was to place the piezos in a rectangular shape and used fans to blow passive mobs around the loop. Unfortunately there is a chance for the mobs to take damage every time they step on the...

    Gregtech too easy mode ?

    I might also suggest the reddit pack, TPPI, which has GT. The configs in it have been dialed down so that GT isn't too intrusive for other mods in that pack. Worth a look if you want to see how it's been set up, or you might be better off just running with TPPI as your base pack. Sent from...

    Your take on unique ways of generating power (Direwolf20)

    No problem. This is something I do on every map since ultimate because I can never find witches otherwise. Gotta love the endless glowstone and redstone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Your take on unique ways of generating power (Direwolf20)

    If direwolf has twilight forest you can use transformation powder on a Druid or whatever they're called.... The ones that spawn in those huts on the surface Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MFR Bioreactor Question

    You should actually go somewhere in the middle. For my MFR tree farms I put stone blocks with a torch on them in a pattern so that every dirt block has exactly one adjacent stone block. This leaves enough spaces for sapling production and keeps all the dirt lit up for the best growth rates...

    Automatic Emerald Machine/ villager par-boiler

    I gave this build a shot with the Geostrata magenta potion crystals and I gotta say, I'm very impressed. The crystal easily keeps up with the damage from the smelter. After a couple of days I now have 1200+ blocks of emerald, more than I'll ever need. I also took it a step further and have a...

    Using RotaryCraft's power for other Mods..

    Just light up some netherrack directly below the steam engine and it will output full power without overheating. No need for fan cooling Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rotarycraft - the mindblower and builds

    Ah, it was indeed the factorization bedrock I was using on my creative map. For those interested, 6 steam dynamos can power the bedrock breaker via a magneto static engine and a 4:1 gearbox. You'll also need a bevel gear to turn the shaft downwards to get at the flat bedrock. Time to get...

    Rotarycraft - the mindblower and builds

    This thread is great and I'm learning a lot. One thing I'm having trouble with is getting the bedrock breaker to work... How long is it supposed to take? I've been going at 8192nm and 256 rad/s for about an hour now. :s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is the best FTB modpack for me?

    Yeah, I guess you could say that, but make sure you give credit to direwolf and the FTB Team because they did most of the work for you :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is the best FTB modpack for me?

    The other way of looking at it is that you can take a heavier pack like direwolf and disable everything you're not interested in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
