Actually, looking more closely, how do I get aluminium? I have my EBF, but I can't cook aluminium, because I have no dust. I also haven't unlocked the quest for it because it needs the cutting machine, which needs cobalt brass, which needs aluminium. What am I missing?

I figured it out shortly after asking - you do get a few aluminum brass ingots, so can make a few TiCon tools, including the chisel. Just use them sparingly. Problems I'm having now is with quest progression. I'm noticing it pretty significantly since I'm trying to avoid steam as personal...

The blast furnace is disabled, but the improved/reinforced one isn't, and it now takes coke oven bricks to make. The steel you can get from a bronze blast furnace. My current issue: I can't make brownstone road because the chisel from TC is disabled, so I can't unlock town 3

Silly question from a player that has always used launchers - anyone have a link to instructions for running a straight pack download?

How do you make compressed iron? I tried leaving iron on the ground, threw dynamite on it, all 3 stacks disappeared. Then I tried with a powderbarrel, same effect. Is it a specific explosion?

Simple question - how much energy do the low tier processing machines use? Macerator and ore washer recipes don't show their cost; trying to make a small, efficient processing area, don't want to have to use too much wiring or transformers.

Do many people use superconductors in their base? It seems that, once you're high enough to use them, they have little use. Even powering my base 200 blocks away with yttrium-barium-cuprate cables, which are dirt cheap, I'm only losing 2%. I wonder why higher voltage cables aren't more lossy...

I had no idea the fluid regulator was a thing. To generate 1 L/s, I had a LV pump (640 L/s), that I split in half 11 times, taking branch 10 (0.625 L/s) and 11 (0.3125 L/s), which was close enough. My setup just got a lot easier...

How are people feeding plasma into their large plasma generators? Since the large generators will accept up to 150% of their max flow, it's a significant efficiency hit, and they take fluid a lot slower than any pipes allow. I have some fancy split GT pipes, where I half the flow at each...

My project for the snow day today: reduce the FPS burden of my base. I want to check my understanding of how that works before I do it though. I think: Minecraft renders all transparent and partially transparent blocks, and all faces of solid blocks that don't touch a solid block. What this...

Because there are so many mods - what are people finding to be the best armor/weapons? So far I'm using a thaumium sword with max Sharpness, looting, repair...but I can probably do better, nano is my next step. Armor, nano, soon quantum, also max enchanted.

Thanks, that was easy. Didn't see the setting on the wiki, didn't even try.

I'm struggling with energy distribution again. I have 2 energy streams coming into the main battery buffer in a satellite base: A and B. I'm trying to figure out how to make it so that it prioritizes power from A over B. I thought I'd use shutters and energy detectors, but it doesn't seem to...

Is there any efficient way to place/power lots of mass fabricators/replicators? LV is of course much more efficient, but each LV transformer can realistically only power 3, and it becomes a space issue very quickly. Of course it will be much nicer in the next version, when the efficiency is...

Best I can tell, amplifabricator and mass fabricator don't work in a processing array. Shame. Non-cheaty - most full dusts seem to work, I started dumping my sulfur dust. Cheaty - at least in my version, stone path from MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod works...

The only thing I hate about gregtech is the number of steps needed for each craft. I cannot play the mod without AE autocrafting. Once you have it set up, it's wonderful. Every recipe I use, including almost all machine recipes and ore processing are all through AE2 autocrafting or...

Is there a tool to measure energy flow through GT wires? I'm 90% sure my reactors are putting out too much power (they aren't throttled, despite EU mode).

I thought that 128v input flipped the EBF into HV - just checked the wiki, it's 129. I feel dumb, that's so much simpler.

Oh ok, so I can't really do energy efficient (correct tier) processing in a 4x4?

I'm having an issue with the 2x2 combined electric blast furnace, specifically at low voltage. The machines seem to 'fight' for energy from the shared energy hatches. Example: each blast furnace has 3 LV energy hatches - 2 that are its own, and 1 that is shared with a neighbor. It seems that...
