Yeah, I like what Fluxed Crystals is trying to do, in terms of a configurable, balanceable resource-farming mod, but from all the commentary I've heard here, the release that got put in ME^4 1.03 is just plain broken. I can see value in promoting a new mod, especially when the author's willing to work closely on it, but... that one could have really used some more testing before being thrown in. :/

I wanted to grab newest build from github..but idk how, can't find any tut on Google xD
What part of it being a in dev mod didn't you get. As in it's still being created as we speak. It's in beta if not alpha state. And it's only function is that it functions. All those things you mentioned are features and will be added later.
And please remember that this map was not created with that mod in mind. So you do not need to rely on it.
Can anyone give a hint as to where to find the Ferrous Ore? TBH got bored digging around Miners Delight, and pressed on through Rotunda and now Nether Sphere (spawning there is crazy, and also got tedious after a while, need to tackle the final bottom level).
Strange that Poor Ores were removed, it's easy to implement with Minetweaker and a custom block adding mod.

I believe it was nearby to the wool chamber. Assuming you've got the wool, it should be up a tad in a large vein. I may be mistaken, cant check at the moment.
I decided I didnt need the 8* Nether Star generator and decided to decompose it and then build a nether star from the remains. Simple enough. I started at about 1000 Hydrogen in my ae network. The recipe says theres only about 1500 Hydrogen that it produces. Thats fine I have about 30 64k drives and 2 1024k drives that are empty wont fill it. So my set up is a decomposer into enderio item conduits 4 speed upgrades into a interface. I know have 38k+ and counting as I am typing. I think there is a dupe bug or something. Part of me wants to fill my ae system with Hydrogen and the other part wants to break the machine and replace it. Any ideas what went wrong?
Edit: It only cost 500 rf per item and since the generator is one item and I seem to have unlimited hydrogen. I can now produce an infinte amount of energy by using hydrogen as a fuel source. I have solved the worlds energy crisis.

I've managed to save my game =) I had to remove cells in my backpack until there were 63 cells left so I had to delete 4 cells, I lost a heap of important materials but nothing unreplaceable thanks for the help by the way and thanks for the tip with storing cells in cells =)
is the ice palace meant to be impossible? I've got full Tartarite armor with Protection IV and full red/yellow/green heart canisters and it takes only 2 creepers there to take me down to 4 hearts left... that's not the problem though... I have a crossbow that almost instant kills the witherboss and has a drawback speed of 0.25 seconds and the creeper spawners there spawn faster then I can shoot... and I don't miss... meaning I cant break the spawners... don't anyone know if the laboratory walls are TNT proof?
Cheat. Seriously do what you would consider cheating.
Drop lava on the creepers. Dig through the walls. Cover the spawners in gravel. Use ineffable glass. And above all remember to use the shields.
Anything but try to take them head on.
I have broken down a 8* Nether Star generator in my game and got the normal amount of everything, but I used Extra Utilities item transfer nodes with stack/speed upgrades to extract into a chest. It wasn't good, I made the mistake of not blacklisting the radioactive element and had to deal with like 4 lead chests worth of radioactive stacks with different timers. I got what seemed like exactly what I should have though. I don't know how stable MineChem is though, maybe it just occasionally glitches like that? It's my first time using it.
around the chamber there is bedrock, you should be good, blast away my friend, blast away.
The radioactive elements not stacking is expected; each one was created at a slightly different time, and so their timers will be different. My suggestion: fluid transposers. move all of your radioactive elements into drums or the AE system, and the timers stop. It's lightly irksome to automate recreating the vials, but at least you're not dealing with leaded chests.
In the ae system the time keeps ticking will it disapper when its done even if its in the ae system if so i can get rid of my 20 leaded chest of highly active playtoys.
Oh I know what went wrong and how to fix it, I just didn't know how radiation worked in this before then. I thought they would just damage me while I held them or something. The decomposer is shielded though so if you just leave them in there until you get enough you can pull out full stacks. I didn't know about the liquids being "stable" but I don't mind dealing with the leaded chests for now. Once I finally clear out the 4 leaded chests I have I can just keep one or two on storage buses. I think the AE system moves items at a consistent enough speed that it could probably stack them in there anyway (Edit: Nope). Thinking about it I could probably merge all my stacks using a transfer node filled with speed upgrades, you just have to try and stack them at the exact moment it's degrading to match the current one in the leaded chest, and I was able to do that by hand (spamming shift-click as fast as I could) a few times when I was trying to squeeze the last few into those chests. If I start getting a ton of radioactive stuff later, storing them as fluids sounds like the best bet, thanks.
No, it stays in there until you try to take it out and place it in your inventory, at which point you get a different element.

Im having some issues with my world now. I just began the Fluxed Crystal path in the quest book and i placed the manager and some dirt. I paused the game to check the forums cause i cant figure out the spatialIO farming quest. Now when i return, im almost in ghost mode, cant break blocks or open gui's. If i try to "save and exit" it says the "shutting down server" message for minutes until i force quite. How can i fix this, i cant do anything in my world.
alright man this is what I did, log in, press [esc], got to video settings, change your chunks loaded to 2 and your max fps to 10, lower all your other video settings as well and set it to fast. Now close your game out, open it up again, and break that pesky farm manager as quickly as you can (not if there are upgrades they will likely be gone, so feel free to try and snag them out first). If you put a range upgrade in it, don't do that until the next patch of the game comes through.
