Can you not use bottles?With the creosote you'll want to make a forestry workbench thingy. The creosote buckets don't stack and I don't think you can easily make any other creosote containers at this stage.

Well, had I known in advance, I would've made my peace with the coke ovens earlier - if that's what you'referring to. If I can actually automate it, I'm happy. The thing is, these newest changes push even the most primitive sort of automation back, and that adds significantly to the early game's already considerable tediousness. It also, and that's even worse, considerably slows down smelting in general, which you need to do almost all the time, because the most common fuel resource of the early game has become scarce - not because of the lack of raw materials, but for the time it takes to create it.These issues you're encountering are total non-problems for me. This isn't because I'm super awesome or anything, its just that I'm happy to build and/or automate some of the things you're not happy with.
I could be wrong but I think Jason's un-doing the redstone engine changes? Even I was a bit surprised at that one, particular since BC pipes don't get a lot of love as it is.Well, had I known in advance, I would've made my peace with the coke ovens earlier - if that's what you'referring to.

Filled bottles don't stack either iircCan you not use bottles?

Good question.Ah right, they have stacked to 16 in other packs, but that's no guarantee here.
On another note, I'm no big fan of Thaumcraft - don't know why - everybody else seems to love it. Question is, is Thaumcraft essential to progress in this pack, do you think?
I was glad to have them at that point - and I do like that the pack makes me use them, and see how primitive the basic ones are and appreciate the time when I got to EIO conduits, LOL. As for the redstone engine, either undoing the change or providing a non-macerator method of acquiring wood pulp would probably help.I could be wrong but I think Jason's un-doing the redstone engine changes?

I have seen no EIO alloy furnace recipes at all in v3. I'm not 100% sure, but believe they've all been converted into GT machine recipes.Also: I'm not positive but we may still be able to create charcoal in the eIO smelter. With capacitors that thing was absolutely nuts.
I occasionally do so in other packs, but since coal only gives one piece per block in GT until you're somewhat up the tech tree, that's not feasible.I know you'll hate this, but Greg really intended for people to mine coal as fuel. Nobody really does it, but its a legitimate design strategy.
Yeah, if I start anew, Thaumcraft will play a more prominent role much earlier in the game.Personally, my early-game fuel strategy was twofold:
1) Convert my small charcoal supplies into alumentum
2) Do all my furnacing in a vanilla furnace with TC Bellows, since they work faster than an iron furnace AND cook more efficiently.

This is my gripe too. It chafes badly to spend fuel cooking coal ore into a single coal.I occasionally do so in other packs, but since coal only gives one piece per block in GT until you're somewhat up the tech tree, that's not feasible.
Thanks, I couldn't remember.enderio alloy smelter is disabled
We can make charcoal in the gregtech arc furnace with a small amount of oxygen
Good question.
I've tried the pack with and without -- in fact, until like two months ago i'd never touched Thaumcraft in any real way -- and my opinion is that TC is not at all essential but it gives you an unquestionably large advantage.
eIO Smelter no longer exists. The machine to make charcoal is now Arc Furnace (requires tiny bit of oxygen)
Thaumcraft - not essential, but it will ease few aspects of the game.
Creosote - i think there are still some Cans, that are craftable in workbench with 3 tin ("maybe")
Redstone engine - no change there, it still requires wooden plates (steam macerator + compressor)
I am really not sure if i disabled the recipe, or if GT has disabled it by default, or if I left that in.I love the 'maybe' - so tantalising whilst I'm here at work on my (late) lunch break!
Pff... I like my Dark boots moreI like the boots of the traveller though, the step-up *is* worth the effort!

I really love the boots of the traveller, put a "haste III" enchant on it and "repair I" can dark boots beat that? i have to try it out.Pff... I like my Dark boots more
