Last I checked it wasn't working in BC Combustion Engines or Railcraft liquid boilers... I didn't check TE's Compression Dynamo.

Hmm, isn't gem dust used in improved drills in real life? I wonder, without much of a background in materials science, if there'd be a way to... to temporarily coat the drill bit of the extractor, perhaps? Perhaps one could Grind gems, such as diamonds or the preceding Compactor results, to...

Happened to me too with a two-day-old instance. Then again, I can't complain too much. The instance also has Botania. Botania's update notifier and I are old friends, though Vazkii was nice enough to write a bunch of cutesy messages for it to use.

I really don't, but understand if you don't care to hold my hand on the issue. I gave it a cursory try before realizing that I probably wouldn't recognize it if I did see it.

Does there exist anywhere a quick summary of what the drying bed and centrifuge can process? The only things I was aware of were water->salt and netherrack dust->glowstone+gunpowder.

You can make dirt from compost. (Actually, is there any other use for compost? Does it work as a bonemeal equivalent or something? The only use I've found so far is in a dirt crafting recipe...) I think with Tinker's you can also set up a system through which zombies are spawned from a Powered...

I believe Reika said the other day that the problem is NEI not doing NBT data, which is also why you only see one or two conversion-type engines and not one of each tier in NEI.

It looks worse than it really is, to be honest. There's a learning curve to get past with how things set up mechanically, but once you understand how RotaryCraft functions, you can get to the point of doing some fairly basic stuff without a ton of trouble. Top-tier stuff takes longer, but I feel...

Woo! Clay party at my house, guys!

Hmm, I didn't realize Botania did. I've never actually played with it. Know any other techmods that have a clay output besides MFR? None I'm familiar with.

You know, I never thought about centrifuging dirt. I was kind of bent on finding some kind of machine to mix water with something else (hence the extractor thought before Reika clarified that it can only handle ores). Frankly I've no idea what items the centrifuge or drying bed can actually...

Shame. The only other method I could think of would be to have a silica dust item that could be ground from sand in a Grinder, then combined with water to make clay. I can't think of any other RoC machine that really qualifies as the sort of fluid-mixing device you'd need. No worries at any...

Here's a stupid thought. What about allowing clay as an output for running sand through an extractor? Maybe that's a bit of a high-tier machine for it... From the article you linked (yes, I did take the time to nose through it, at least at a brief skim) your typical English brick clay is...

Here's a question, Reika. Would it be possible to add a recipe allowing the creation of clay? Perhaps rationalized as some sort of synthetic? I wish I knew more about the composition of synthetic clay to make specific suggestions, but there it is. Most other building blocks can be automated...

I appreciate the responses, guys, I really do, but I'm not confused about afterburners! Just the converter upgrades, since for some reason (quite possibly sleep deprivation) I was having trouble getting a converter upgrade to apply to an engine the other night. I was responding to the guy above...

No, it appears that the converter engine upgrades got renamed with the v3 release, which is the source of the confusion. I suppose I'll go back to trying to work this out then. I think the afterburner actually makes the turbine less fuel-efficient; 2x torque (and thus power output) at 2.5x fuel...

Fair enough. I brought it up because ElectriCraft is, on the wikis I've been able to find, generally a sea of redlinks. What about the upgrades I mentioned? Or would that be better confined to a mechanics questions thread?

Reika, out of curiosity would there be any chance of having a book for ElectriCraft like those available for RC and Reactorcraft? I understand a lot of the stuff in the mod is relatively self-explanatory, but at the same time documentation for Electricraft is pretty thin outside of the...

Can't wait, Jaded! Smooth sailing!

Shame about Railcraft. I get that it doesn't have native RF support and that a lot of its secondary functions, like Iron Tanks, have been superseded by other mods doing the same thing better... but Railcraft expands minecart and track play to an extreme degree, so if it does go because of the...
