I worked it out by installing the battery into a set of MPS leggings instead of the tool itself, and it works fine. Just wondering why it's different if you install it directly into the tool itself. Interesting, but I don't find that to be the case. When the MPS battery is installed into an...

I came across a zombie pigman wearing full MPS armor. So...tempting... Also, I've noticed that when I install a battery module directly into the power fist (i.e. not into the chestplate or another armor piece), the battery module will drain power OUT of the IC2/GregTech tools in my inventory...

Mine consumes the refined uranium, but doesn't seem to have any effect on the mutation chance (i.e. it's just eating uranium for no reason).

Thanks for this awesome work, it's exactly what I've been looking for. One quick question: I used the spreadsheet for a bee that produces its specialty every 78 minutes (e.g. glittering, impregnable, radioactive), database speed Slowest, individual speed Fast (because it's easy enough to...

The automatic canning machine is now required in order to fill cells. (For example, crafting 1 sulfur dust + 1 empty cell together to get 1 sulfur cell will no longer work.) But I can't figure out how to get the automatic canning machine to work. Anyone have any idea what the buttons in its GUI...

Right, but an hour is what I would probably use. Unless I go through an entire barrel of cobble in an hour, I should be fine. Ideally I'd like it to start producing again as soon as one of those 3 barrels is no longer full, but without completely redesigning my barrel system, that doesn't seem...

That'll work. I had a couple similar ideas, but the auto-reset was stumping me. Having it try to produce every hour isn't the elegant solution I was hoping for, but it looks like it's the best I can do unless gates are fixed.

Forgive the thread necromancy, but is there any way to do this without putting something on the top or bottom of the barrel? I have a Redpower tube + barrel sorting setup, and I'm trying to set up a system that can say: "If the cobblestone barrel and the sand barrel and the glass barrel are all...

Right, but -- at least in Vanilla -- a spawner won't spawn new mobs if there are already 6 mobs within a 17x9x17 area (centered on the spawner). So, for the best possible rates, you need to drop the mobs down 6 or 7 blocks to get them out of that zone as quickly as possible. But again, I have no...

With your spawning area only 4 blocks high, are you still getting T5-level rates? I know that would definitely slow down a Vanilla spawner, but I'm not 100% sure how those mechanics work with Soul Shards.

Yes it's a T5. Not using print commands. I forget if I went with sleep(1) or sleep(0.2) but I can mess around with it. I'm not using any drop commands at all; the items get pulled out of the turtle by a transposer. The problem is that the skeletons are getting clogged in the water-flow system...

Yeah, I noticed the speed issue. I'm dropping the skeletons a good distance so the turtle can 1-hit them, but I still can't leave it on for too long. Eventually I'll have to redesign it -- maybe switch to a 3x3 hole and use 9 turtles? -- but as a temporary solution to keep me stocked up on coal...

It worked! Thanks Revemohl!

Hmm, I will have to try that tonight when I get home from work.

I tried both sleep(0.2) and sleep(1), and it works better but still stops working after a couple minutes. The turtle filling up with items isn't a problem; I'm just using a transposer + timer to suck all the items out and send them to my sorting system.

I'm playing Mindcrack pack v.8.1.1 on my crappy Laptop. I use Optfine, fast graphics, short render distance, with most of the video performance settings on "max FPS." With all those settings, the game runs fine most of the time, except there's a decent amount of lag in my main base (where I have...

Assuming you don't want to go nuclear, steam boiler + turbines is definitely the way to go if you have the materials for them. If you don't, I would try something like this: 1. Set up a tree farm, and use the excess saplings to produce biomass in a Fermenter. (1 sapling = 0.8 biomass.) 2. Use...
