    [Reactorcraft] Survival reactor achieved!

    After experimenting with many designs in creative, I've built my reactor in our very hard mode survival server! I used what I consider a very simple design, yet in implementation it was still huge, complex, and very powerful! 940 MW/s and more steam than a single turbine could handle. The slide...

    [Reactorcraft] Waste management

    I wanted to share my testing for waste management from Reika's ReactorCraft in version v6f. Fission reactors always produce waste of two varieties, short (<1 year) and long term. These are stored differently. All waste should be piped from the reactor cores where a buildup would reduce the...

    Post-Cauldron server administration and WorldBorder

    I'm composing a new modpack and server for my players using Minecraft 1.7.10. We used Cauldron and a number of Bukkit plugins previously with 1.6.4 and had a fantastic server experience. Mob spawn controls, essentials, world borders, item bans, memory and chunk cleanup, drop aggregation and...

    Buildcraft / Logistics Pipes & Low Frame Rate

    Has anyone else experienced crippling frame rates in 1.6 packs with BC pipes and LP? Are there any workarounds, like placing facades on every side?

    ReactorCraft: Fission Reactor Designs (again)

    As a continuation to my previous thread on ReactorCraft fission reactor designs, I've reached the point in my game where I will be working on them again. Much has changed from the previous thread here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/reactorcraft-fission-reactor-designs.47199/ I'm on...

    ReactorCraft: Measuring output

    I've previously posted a large thread on reactor designs where I tried to compare different reactor layouts and had difficulty coming up with a metric to measure or grade them by. The best I could do before was to hook up an HP turbine and have the output goto an industrial coil, with a clutch...

    Logistics Pipes redstone signal

    Anyone know if there is an equivalent to the AE Level Emitter (if item quantity < X then emit redstone signal) equivalent for Logistics Pipes? So far my options seem to be make a ComputerCraft program to query the network and emit redstone, or to setup a crafting pipe to supply an inventory and...

    Whitelist Server Demosthenex Zombie Apocalypse|Whitelist|24/7|PvE|1.6.4|USA

    Demosthenex's Zombie Apocalypse server is now allowing public applications for our whitelisted server. Bored in Minecraft? Try to survive on our server where food is scarce and nightly hordes of monsters will try to overwhelm you. Early progression is very difficult. Can you survive long enough...

    Early game defenses

    So our group just started a new server with our custom modpack and suffice it to say that in conjunction with some server side magic the monsters are just incredible. They are supposed to be overwhelming and put you on the defensive, and they succeed wildly. We have come up with some basic...

    Filling an area with water in Monster

    I'm trying to keep a pool full of water source blocks. With the removal of RotaryCraft's Liquid Spiller, what alternatives are there? Playing in a finite water world and heat sensitive items eat adjacent water blocks which must be refilled. I found the MFR Fountain and I'm tinkering with it as...

    Creating a pack, where to get base?

    The excellent guidelines specify what files and folders are applied to the base Minecraft + Forge files to apply your modpack, specifically minecraft/{config,mods}. Where do you get the base Minecraft + Forge files from, in an FTB aware fashion? Yes, I could redownload vanilla from Mojang...

    Small private servers and FTB private packs

    Have any small servers here applied for a private FTB pack code and gotten it? What is the process like? How do you manage updates? I run a small server (35 total players on whitelist, 3-5 on per day) using FTB Monster. I add a handful of other small mods to Monster that our core players like...

    FPS (frames per second) improvement

    First up if this is a duplicate I apologize. The search engine won't search "FPS", and I made a cursory review of the forums before posting. I understand that low FPS (frames per second, NOT TPS ticks per second) is a chronic issue with modded Minecraft. There is so much non-technical...

    ReactorCraft Fission Reactor Designs

    Pardon the new thread, but the prior one was offtrack with discussions on fusion, survival, updates, and other thing I felt were offtopic to reactor design. I'm experimenting to find good reactor designs for fission where the first criteria is safety given I play a shared survival world, the...

    Reactorcraft Heat Exchanger

    While testing out Reactorcraft I wanted to try using sodium boilers with the fission cores to pull heat at 300C, and then use the heat exchanger to transfer the heat from the sodium to steam boilers using ammonia. This sounded like a great way to limit how hot the ammonia could get and prevent...

    Water Creation

    I didn't see any numbers around for this so I thought I'd share. I'm trying to make a high output water source to feed my reactors with. I've had prior experience with how slow Aqueous Accumulators can be, so I thought I'd try something new. A Liquid Transfer Node appears to match the AA for...

    Rotarycraft breaking bedrock

    I've been using the bedrock breaker to get bedrock, which seems to be an acceptable solution. Frequent relocation is the only downside. I saw some posts that indicated you could break bedrock with the boring machine given enough torque. I've tried using 128k Nm torque (IC 4k Nm @ 4kR to CVT...

    Reactorcraft & Pebble Beds

    I'm experimenting with a new pebblebed reactor, and ran into a few questions. When does radiation take effect? I was wearing a rad suit preemptively but I don't appear to suffer ill effects moving around fuel pellets. I'm also storing fresh and depleted pellets in the short term storage...

    ReactorCraft (23b) & ComputerCraft integration, Monster 1.1.2

    I was looking at a RC tutorial: http://lisimba.org/minecraft/howto_beginner_reactor/howto.html They use a ComputerCraft program to query the temperature and control pistons. Trying to do the same I don't see the getTemperature method in listMethods, and calling it returns an error. I see from...

    Rotarycraft Gasoline Engines

    I've been thoroughly enjoying Rotarycraft, but recently I felt like I either skipped a tech tier or I should have skipped gas engines entirely. In my extreme survival world I built automated Ethanol production for gas which was very difficult due to some cross mod breakage. That aside, I also...
