I've been hearing a lot about both GT charcoal production aswell as gregtech oil and oilwells, anyone know more about this? For instance how will gregtech oil wells spawn, how large etc and how do i use them with the oil well.
How does the GT charcoal thing work? im guessing it will be a bronze age machine you run on steam but i would love some more specifics.
And most of all when can i expect to see this in infitech2?
I think oil wells are still WIP and not yet even in GT5.09 (am i correct
@Blood Asp?)
Charcoal in InfiTech there is couple of ways.
1) Good old Coke Oven army
2) Later in tech via Arc Furnace (10s per charcoal)
3) Thaumcraft crucible processing (Vacuos + Ignis + Wooden Log)
4) New in GT5.09 Charcoal pit
Charcoal Pit is able to turn up to 11x5x11 array of Wooden Logs into brittle charcoal, which when broken will give you 1 Charcoal (with chance on bonus one, not sure about the % chance). It needs to be surrounded by Dirt or Grass, no air blocks allowed, on top there also needs to be Dirt or Grass, in the middle above the logs (inside the dirt/grass patch) needs to be the Charcoal Pit block and on the bottom it must be Bricks.
It is slow, but with good Fortuune pickaxe, you will get a lot of Charcoal
... Its bit annoying to dig it all up however... 11x5x11 (max size) = 605 Wooden Logs, so you will probably want to make some automation (for example cleverly programmed drones)... I intent to give it a try somehow howfar can i manage the automation process.
it a lot of fun mechanics
