About GregTech Machines Blowing Up In The Rain

Place wood block behind portal. Place lava in front of portal. Wait.

On second thought maybe begging is not that undignified after all...

That sounds like a sucky random method for lighting a portal...

But of course this would work; Until Greg in all his wisdom realized transporting lava in an iron bucket is just silly, because after all lava is so hot it melts through most metals. He'd then makes it so you need a tungsteel (Tungsten has a really high melting point) bucket to transport lava and this bucket will not shield you from the heat. While it's in your inventory you'd either set on fire randomly or suffer heat stroke which will be nausea and slow or both. Then to add to the "challenge" the lava will eventually cool down turning in to a plain old obsidian block if it does not reach it's destination (destroying the bucket).
Ohh and even if you get the lava to the destination the bucket is only a one time use.

And you can only carry 2 items at a time unless you have a backpack.

And even then you would move slow.

And it's gotta be a special Gregtech bag made of Kevlar (Or Greglar as I just found out Kevlars actually a tradmark).
You'd need to lyze rubber to make a base polymer. Then you'd need a special weaving machine to turn the polymers in to a fiber. 10 of these fibers go in to a assembler with a carbon plate to make a Greglar sheet. The subsequent bag is made with these sheets in a chest configuration and a titanium plate in the middle.



In retrospect the idea of a tungsteel bucket is not too far fetched when talking about GregTech... Of course he's probably not silly enough to add all that one time use stuff and random immolation.
But making lava only transportable if you use GregTech, to me at least is a very plausible scenario.

Kanthal is a trademark too, and yet look what one of the heating coils is called!

 

[Grunguk]

Gotta be honest, when this feature first hit our server I pished myself laughing when reading the chat.

There seem to be a lot of people who don't bother actually building things in minecraft.

I just found Greglar sounded funnier.

According to the internet, Greglar is an actual surname.

Gregorium is occupied as well, you can find it in StellarCraft modpack(its in FTB launcher). have no idea what mod adds it, but it can be found in recipes of flint &steel and enchanting table.

My point was that if you can get cinderpearls for an RC blast furnace you might as well go the FAR easier route and make a firecharge.

Does the GT blast furnace require nether materials with all standard casings and no upgrades?
Even if so, you can easily get your macerator with the semi-secret gold-to-glowstone recipe.

is it still around?

 

[immibis]

Yes.
So are the coal-to-gunpowder recipe, and the sticky resin piston recipe, and the sticky resin torch recipe.

What does the GT blast furnace have to do with it? I thought we were talking about the railcraft one.

It's misc Periferals adding it.
Come-on now, we have a mod made entirely by the ender-dragoon, and you expect it not to deliberately troll Greg/people?

And why does no-body use the gold+redstone=glowstone recipe for IC2 anymores?
Greg even references it in his glowstoneinanindustrialcentrifuge=gold+redstone, so it's not disabled.
Yeah it's shitly expensive, but for that 1 advanced circuit to make a jetpack, or a macerator, it's worth it.

Well, you can use the GT blast furnace to make steel, to make flint and steel, to go to the nether.

Add to that the fact that Railcraft furnaces are stupidly time-inefficient and not worth making in the slightest...

but they are "cheaper" and dont require EU or coal to make steel

 

[ApSciLiara]

They require coal coke, however. And that requires putting coal into a coke oven and waiting a really long time. And then the steel-ification process takes just as long.
Time spent != worth it.

They're a good place to use excess charcoal (from sawdust from a sawmill for example) too, not as efficient as coal coke but in my case it's just something to use all that sawdust on so it's ok.

That's a good point, I will admit. But apart from that, they're annoying. And slow.

coal coke is ant option, but not an actual requirement. i cant also remember ind blast being noticeably faster, without overclockers
