Chunk loading modules still require.... World Anchors. Though, I think you can substitute the Chicken Chunk loader.

But then the Tesseract interrupts one of the lasers. Try again :-)

Now the question is..... how do you get the item out?

Yeah, lava is too cheap. I understand the change to Invar Ingots. Since I had a FTB Beta A import, I had a crapton of Iridium, so really my base is powered by 5 Hybrid Solar Panels outputting 320 EU/t. I siphon part of that off to create the lava for BC power. I understand the appeal with...

Eventually when it updates it will be integrated and there will be a use for all those infinity bajillion ores. They already post new machines on the twitter feed for their website daily, so I'd assume they'll release within the next month or so. Though, I think he plans on releasing along...

Lasers will always be blue if you supply 4 MJ/t PER LASER.

When you have 14 trillion chunks in a Minecraft world, does it matter if you only get 14 trillion diamond and not 28 trillion diamond? For reference, that's 2 billion diamond chests full of diamond blocks. Automated mining chunkloader turtle.

That was my point. A Diamond hunting turtle (and maybe Thaumcraft Shards).

Perhaps if you had a more complicated program that did animal breeding, beekeeping, or farming, but for a Quarry that seems like overkill. Really, for mining, you have two choices: Choose a direction to move, and dig then move, or go home (for whatever reason, fuel, inventory full, etc). But...

A coroutine-based pathfinding generator (I assume you mean for returning to a chest the way you came, or vice versa), is do-able, but in a simple mining program, you don't really have a clearly defined producer/consumer. And I assume Lua was chosen because it was the quickest thing they could...

Well, the advantage with Turtles, is they eventually hit coal, and can refuel themselves. I will admit, sharing on the internet makes Turtles somewhat OP. But I don't see the difference between someone who spends 40-80 hours making a well-refined Quarry program, and someone who spends 40-80...

Lua is not that bad. I've written in much worse languages. Yeah, Lua is weakly-typed, but that makes it easy to use (and hard to debug). And for a mining turtle you still need 3 diamonds for a pickaxe. A Quarry needs, what, 8? And some gold (gold is like water in MindCrack). Oh the humanity!

Yup. Someone had a video on the CC forums, comparing the speed of a Quarry with a Turtle that would mine every 3rd layer, and if it found something other than stone, it would mine it. The Turtle beat the Quarry. With the new MiscPeripherals ChunkLoader add-on, there's 0 reason to use a...

I don't know, all I know is it helped. I haven't had any crashes.... technically. I did have a java crash once, but I was running the SMP server alongside a Creative single-player server (was testing a machine out in creative before putting it on the SMP server). Dunno the source of the...

I think you are interpreting the rules improperly in a way that supports your own argument. Common fallacy. 1) Modifying vanilla, as in messing with the stock recipes. Augmenting is fine. I.E. giving me a new/better/faster/expensive way to make Track is awesome, but do NOT delete the original...

There's a lot of snake oil around here, but two options that DID help my performance (add under FTB Launcher > Options > Additional Java Parameters): -XX:UseSSE=3 -XX:+AggressiveOpts I put these on my client and server on my 6-core AMD 1055T OC'ed @ 3.2Ghz, and it cut my CPU usage (Task...

You don't even need Redstone Energy Cells. Just use Redstone Energy Conduit. It stores 1,000 MJ and will allow the lasers to operate evenly. Personally, I use 15 lasers, and it still takes about a minute to make an Iron AND Gate. Redstone chipsets are much faster.

The hard part with having GregTech be "default-nuke-all", is when you change it back, the recipes don't update in NEI (in my experience), unless you change the client configs. Perhaps I'm wrong, but last time I changed something, I couldn't see the proper recipe (vanilla Glowstone dust w/o...

Go learn to program. Seriously, the one reason ComputerCraft Turtles are not OP is because it takes so long to write a proper program. There is actually a mechanism that allows you to do what you're asking. A turtle can compare a block in front of it to what it has in its inventory. Set...

It's not that it's OP, it's just not SMP friendly. You have to create books and search worlds for symbols, creating butt-loads of lag and problems for the server. The mod author is fixing it with a villager-trading system.
