Wild guess but I'm thinking the output can't be bigger than the internal buffer of the furnace. So, yeah,advanced would probably work just fine.
Yes, and no. If you have the metal you can use thaumcraft to transmute other metals into bismuth if you find you want to make red steel or some other things that requires bismuth.
the question was more or less to ensure I'm following NEI correctly. I have some dusts so I can do the alchemical route but for the life of me, couldn't figure out how I got the dusts. lol I love the steel transmutation. now that I've made 2 HV ebf's tho, thinking I might do blast furnace instead now.
There's also the super buffer, which can hold 256 stacks of anything. They're great to pair with a packager, and 256 different types of items is more than sufficient to cover all the types of tiny dusts. However, you can't see the inventory, but that shouldn't be a big problem. Also, regardless of voltage tier, a data orb is required so it's not that cheap, but still worth in my opinion.
oh that's much better, I can totally make that. thanks!
I'd be interested in seeing the reflected designs. Also, I think I'm going to run some pure thorium reactors if you have good designs for those.
So for those who ever wondered what Greg meant by not building mutliblock over chunk border as it can do unexpected results...well i finally experienced it first-hand... >_> My Large Gas Turbine Exploded. And no the rotor did not break..it was only 4% dmg'ed for those who may wonderBut i knew it was built over chunk border and i let it be...
The sad part of the story is that it cost me 2 Robust Tungstensteel Casing from my Processing array. Now that pisses me off
Through HV, I generated the power within 10-15 blocks of consumption. Now that I have access to LuV-tier transmission, I have generation centralized to a diesel engine and (soon) my reactor complex.
Edit: See, I think I got it wrong already, the upconvert is the one that gets the whack with the soft hammer. LOL Just figure it out yourself. 
Get on that, BloodAsp, m'kay? Saving it to use as my "booster" for firing up a fusion reactor, if I ever make it that far.I've got it working now. Tripled my power gen capability from about 1 amp IV to about three.just make sure the dots are right on the two IV transformers, at the power source for upconvert the big dot should be facing downstream, facing the transmission cable. at the end point for downconvert it should also point towards the transmission cable after whacking it with the soft hammer. i always have to think for a long time before placing them, and somehow i always seem to get it wrong anyways. LOL so take my words with a touch of caution.
i'm right at the same point as you, was disappointed there's no cable with 1 amp loss per meter at the power tiers like LuV and ZPM, but i guess that's expected and maybe realistic. Superconducting cable, but that's gotta be ridic expensive.
I also wonder why we can't have ZPM batteries, since the graphic is already in the pack. The whole thing about "you can only find the battery in a random chest and you can't recharge it" is kinda weak if you ask me. But who's asking me?
P.S. I played the modpack on SMP server, and heard a rumor that a ZPM had been found by someone... first thing I did when I obtained the world to play on my own in SSP was make the long trek to the guy's base and find that that mythical ZPM battery of his. hehe
one thing that might work is a bunch of corporeal attractors set to repel, protected by warded blocks (but not have the whither enclosed in a box himself). might keep him in one place but at same time, not trigger the hardcore wither code that it's trapped in a box unless it just teleports as a last resort. HC wither is a pain but if jason removed the explosions, a huge room, decent armor, is not so bad really. it's the explosions that make it impossible once you've done a few.Did you make four Large Diesel Engines or something? That's my plan, altho I've only made one so far and not sure I have enough titanium for 3 more. But the good thing is, I think I have enough Nitro Diesel, especially if I bump up my Distillation production line from HV to EV which I can probably afford to do, likewise on the Oil Drilling Rig itself. Today, I removed my biogas and my steam production, along with my tree farm and Pyrolyse Oven. Gonna re-purpose the 20 Distilleries from making biogas to processing the Toluene into Light Fuel instead. Full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes!! Why mess around with LV steam and MV biogas when we're flyin' high with 3 amps of IV off the Nitro, right?
I even found a Platinum vein, got a whole bunch of Iridium dusts and even processed a stack of Osmium dusts... almost ready for fusion, the biggest problem I have is the Nether Stars and still not sure how to obtain those just yet.
yeah for mine I have a diamond chest going to it and translocators, both with glowstone/redstone on it. lever sucks it all out to inspect and can just flip lever to resume the work. that super buffer is damn awesome.So not too long ago (maybe 1 page or so ago...too lazy at 2AM to go check) some people were talking about The Super Buffer from Gregtech being able to hold 256 stack but not being able to see it's inventory. And that got me wondering because i use one too for my tiny piles. So i went and tested and found out that you can in fact see it's inventory if you connect it to either a Logistic Pipe network or AE Network. Of course...It's Gregtehc thus it doesn't come without a hiccup of it's own
As any other Gregtech machine, it's cannot be moved without spilling it's content. Thus if you need to move it and it's full, you should have a few inventorys near to pick up/store anything that may spill all over the place.
so nice to get all my tiny's all handled in one place.Personally i'm not a fan of chest ever since AE (first one) has appeared. Ever since i've become addicted to digitized storage. I actually go out of my way just to make AE asap just so i can store all my junk and goodys in 1 single place. But now that i know i can interface with the Super Buffer, it gave me some nifty ideas.yeah for mine I have a diamond chest going to it and translocators, both with glowstone/redstone on it. lever sucks it all out to inspect and can just flip lever to resume the work. that super buffer is damn awesome.
