    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Is there a simple way to make a togglable cutoff in a ME network that affects energy transfer as well? Due to my above mentioned energy issues, I want to make an on-off switch to the system so it isn't running when I'm not using it. It seems ME Toggle Buses only affects data transfer, not energy...

    Thanks a lot, that was what I suspected. I honestly have no idea what to do with those wind turbines at this point, and unlike the mekanism ones they aren't even that pretty (though the power transferring sure is). EDIT: Checking with the network tool, it seems the wind turbines are making 1.45...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    In applied energistics 2, how can I check power usage? In AE1 it was in the controller, but since that has changed the way it has I now have no idea how to check power consumption. Also, is it normal for 3 standard ME Chests and a Crafting Terminal to drain more than a vibration chamber can...

    I'm playing 1.7.10 with just a limited set of mods, not including witchery, and there are witches frakkin' everywhere. At this point they seem to be just a little more rare than endermen.

    Is there any point in starting off in AE without an engineering press? I've searched four comets and found the three other presses, but no engineering press. It'd be nice to start getting proper storage tonight, so....

    Tips for reducing server lag on tiny home server?

    Oh, the laptop doesn't have the error messages, the server is on a stationary computer. I have a stationary computer with the above mentioned specs that acts as server. I have a laptop with specs , except a 2GHz quadcore. I might try running on linux, but it feels like it _shouldn't_ be this...

    Tips for reducing server lag on tiny home server?

    In general I don't. It happens occacionally when I have a friend over, but I'm okay with it being more laggy on those occacions. But how do I manually thread the processors? Should I do that now with my server? Yes, but there's several reasons I won't; the primary is that I'm quite poor and...

    Tips for reducing server lag on tiny home server?

    Thanks a lot for the tips! EVOC sounds great, I'll install that immediately We haven't even gone so far as to build any AE stuff, and there are no chunk loaders yet. We'll probably have no more than one or two in total, and we're not nearly 5-10 players, we're usually 2 but might get up to 4 at...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Honestly, comparing microsoft with people with intellectual disabilities is pretty mean to people who just have a disability. People with suffering from mental retardation can be great people, but suffer a lot of undeserved bullshit from society. Unlike microsoft, who are rotten to the core but...

    Tips for reducing server lag on tiny home server?

    So, I run a tiny home server for me and three friends (though only one is regularly on so we're usually two people on at the same time) but I'm having very heavy latency issues. The blocklag is horrible, especially (and this is kinda weird) on the laptop I play on in the same house. It's worst...

    Focused modpacks

    Better than wolves isn't really hard, not notably harder than vanilla hardcore at least. Terrafirmacraft is hard to tech in, and has become increasingly hard to actually survive in, but the lack of monsters limits the danger. I'd say if you want difficulty, TerraFirmaCraft with some custom mobs...

    Thanks a lot for this tip! I did not know that H+F3 combo.

    Focused modpacks

    Ah. I don't know the inner workings of how ID's function; I just copied the ones I see in NEI as a test to see if it worked. It didn't. Heh, yeah, that's the solution we're aiming for now. But you know, I like to abuse the game and mods as much as possible, that's why I prefer to limit the...

    Focused modpacks

    I'm not playing 1.6.4, I am playing 1.7.10. What made you think I play 1.6.4? And yeah, when it comes to end-game power, RoC's method is clearly best, but that's an end-game thing; the issue with CC turtles where never that they where super-fast, the redpower chunkeater was much faster, as was...

    Focused modpacks

    Thanks for the input. We will have chunkloading, but we'll probably agree to limit it, if nothing else for the server computer's sake (it's not a beast). There is automining in rotarycraft too, though, and from what I've gathered, it can be extremely powerful. So the issue is more, is...

    Focused modpacks

    The person I'm perhaps going to play with enjoys programming in minecraft, so I was wondering, would OpenComputers upset game balance a lot? I've never used it at all, and I know with ComputerCraft there was basically either you used mining turtles and they where quite OP, or you didn't and CC...

    Focused modpacks

    So, part of the reason why I asked specifically for pre-made packs is because of compability and things "just working" with finished modpacks. When I do them myself, it seems there's always at least two hundred problems. So I'm asking for help with this one, since I have no idea how to fix it...

    Focused modpacks

    JABBA does sound like a viable option. Not that I find the double chests that problematic when you can stack them side by side, but mass storage of cobble etc is practical. [qoute] If you're learning RoC/ReC, I recommend WAILA. You'll want to know what you're looking at. I though WAILA or at...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    The difference between showing outrage over this now, and a year down the line if microsoft has acquired minecraft and is making sweeping changes, is that Mojang is more likely to care about our outrage than microsoft. If writing about it is ever going to make a difference, it's now. When...

    Yeah, don't get me wrong, this is really bad. But at least we don't have to abandon all hope just yet :)
