Do you have a citation for that? The matterfab can accept 8196 packets so it can be placed next to a lightning rod without intervening transformers, but I've not heard of an intended speed cap. As it is, there is no point to building more than one fab until energy production exceeds 1 UU per...

Unless it has been recently changed, matter- and massfabs have a max packet size but have no effective cap on use per tick. On Forgecraft ChickenBones had an auto-building HV solar system pumping 144k EU per tick into a single massfab, and I tested the matterfab at over 100k per tick.

Oh, for the love of tea... While the words may be unfamiliar, through context the meaning should be clear. To reiterate, engines and generators do not line up exactly in what fuels they use.

Thematically the petrogen is analogous to a combustion engine, so accepting biofuel but not biomass would be consistent. However, as the biogen accepts both, and is thus dissimilar to its engine counterpart, the current arrangement is not without precedent and a change is non-vital.

I have never had a machine explode. I read. I test. Odds are I know more about these mods than you do. Now how about you come up with an actual counter-argument? If I wanted to use the IC2 bronze recipe instead of the Forestry one I would set that to false. Fixing something that is already...

Bad design is bad design. So much of GregTech is redundant (Forestry bronze nerf), pointless tedium (compressor for storage blocks), newb traps (compressor for storage blocks with copper), or punishment for the sake of punishment (machine explosion mechanics). Minecraft is not I Wanna Be The...

More specifically, boilers produce steam, which can be piped to steam engines for MJ or steam turbines for EU. For a less resource intensive setup, fuel can be burned in petroleum generator or diesel generator to produce EU directly.

A redstone torch is indeed the proper flower. This gene comes from the energetic branch, which produces redstone bearing combs. They also have a lightning strike effect, so be careful if you decide to breed more of them.

If all you want is silky combs crossbreeding is unnecessary, stock tropicals will give you all you need. You will need frames, but the cheapest ones, untreated, are made from sticks and string. The more expensive ones only last longer, they do not grant a greater production boost.

Gates have been changed to only recognize inventory slots on the sides they are attached to. With a regulator or manager run the signal through a not gate to reverse it, though I do not know if the signal will affect the block they are facing or if they only output to the sides. It seemed to...

This is a mock up I did recently in a test world. I use water to funnel the zombies to a lava block over a transposer, which does not have to be pulsed as the flesh falls directly onto it. An item detector inline to the centrifuge set to emit if backstuffed serves as a simple automatic off...

The square in the lower right of the interface is a liquid inventory, for water only. The ind. centrifuge has one for lava. The interface makes this non-obvious as it is dissimilar from other, non-GT, internal tanks.

Is there a reason to make hydrogen from electrolized water cells given that water can now be directly piped into the ind. electrolizer for a 1-step process? I did a bit of calculation with numbers from NEI. For 4 H cells: 6 water - 38s, 93000 EU or 6 elec. cells - 5s, 3000 EU 6 water cells -...

While its appearance may be disconcerting, mycelium is noninvasive. It does not spread to grass.

Shade is optional. Mushrooms planted on mycelium will tolerate maximum brightness. Mycelium can be gotten from the moistener.

Plantballs can be made from a variety of materials, including wheat, so if you go that route you won't have to build any new farms.

If your issue is with compact solars why did you say this? The electric furnace is among the simplest and least costly machines. If solar cannot power that it cannot power anything. In what way is their coding "silly"? Is there an effective way to simulate a large number of events per second...

The vent-looking slot doesn't do anything. The slot under it is for batteries.

Iridium ore is rare, about 1 per 5 chunks, though there is more in the End. Aluminium and titanium come from bauxite ore, which is found in forest and plains biomes. Forested island and birch forest also work.

GregTech adds a lot of cool stuff, but when presented with a choice that is terrible and one that is not, Greg can be counted on to choose the terrible one. Rather than removing the burn value of scaffolding or banning them from generators, he nerfs them for their intended purpose as...
