Age of Engineering Series!

Yeah, its not too bad Electrolytic separators are pretty thirsty for power, so you'll want Energy upgrades in those as a priority.

Awesome, looking forward to that!

Remind me: does the day/night cycle occur in the mining dimension? If not, that might be a good place for your TEPs. Alternatively, if its mostly daytime in space, that's something you could do.

As another alternative, if you can get a few more gas burning generators together, you can run your TEPs entirely off heat generated by resistive heaters instead of solar panels - I had a chat with someone (might have been Triaxx?) about that - they are pretty power hungry, so it may not be worth your while, but that's always a possibility. To convert them from solar to thermal, you replace each of the solar panels with a Thermal Evaporation Block, and add in an extra valve to pump the heat into. The Thermodynamic Conductor pipes are apparently quite lossy (especially in cold biomes) so if you go that route, make sure you have as short a distance from your heaters to your plant as you can.

Cool, day seems constant... But it does go dull grey now and then which blocks the sun. Cheers man, here is the plan for Closet-chem, your friendly neighbourhood chemical factory! Let me know what you think. I'll drag @KingTriaxx in on this too

Grey boxes are for further expansion, red boxes are for the gases needed for creative. Plan to have a high ceiling and a walkway going above the rooms.

At a quick gander, that looks good! there might be some machines which are picky about sides and don't let you alter them; not sure if you've got any of those here, but its something to be aware of.

Yes the separators are like that, total pain in the aaaa... neck. Luckily water going in using enderIO pipes is a bit easier to route and so we can spin the machine around the right way. Good god though - this is gonna be a nightmare to build whilst recording

I have faith in you pal Your editing is excellent, I reckon you'll do a bang up job. I wonder if it would be worth doing a practice run?

I think that sounds good... Or I could record it in reverse ;D

I might suggest sticking the Thermal Evaporation Towers somewhere you're not going to be looking in their direction very often. They're even harder on the FPS than the lighting updates from the Gas Burning Generator.

Oh snap, really? I plan to leave this in the mining dimension and visit it only when nesseaarry. I'll fit a redstone kill switch to every machine too so I can switch it all of when I enter the dimension

It shouldn't be an issue if you build them last.

Time for the BIG MOMMA of reactors... My only criticism...needs more chance of catastrophic explosions occuring

Catastrophic explosions are something that every mod needs in my opinion.

Agree! It's no fun unless there is danger

Catastrophic explosions were something that's been in the works since it was Big Reactors. It's not happened yet.

The construction of Closet-Chem, your friendly* neighborhood chemical giant is well underway

*Closet-chem may leak sulphuric acid and other dangerous substances. An innocent group of villagers will be situated close by to ensure we know if anything is going wrong.

Loving your block choices I love the chisel
Concrete and Factory blocks, I just wish they didn’t break so fast!

I've found myself a massive fan of waterstone, but annoyingly in 1.12 the IE Assembler is broken and doesn't recognize water in it's tank as a valid replacement for water in a recipe. So I have to manually craft the stuff. Sigh.

Seriously?? Oh man that sucks I guess the only thing you can do is to have some sort of thing for autocrafting water buckets with EnderIO, but even then if you ask for a load, it will want to have all the buckets available.

Could you... hmm. Could you set it up as a processing recipe? Do something with a crafter and an EnderIO tank automatically extracting and inserting a bucket of water? Hmm

1.12 - EnderIO?

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

1.12 - EnderIO?

Oh dammit, good call dude - proper missed that bit - sorry @KingTriaxx

The Fluid Transposer MIGHT be able to do it, as TE now has in/out capability...

 

[KingTriaxx]

Thermal now has a new version of the Cyclic Assembler, name I can't recall at the moment which I believe also has a tank augment. I'll have to give that a shot I guess.

Episode 58 of my Age of Engineering Series! Today we go on a bat hunt!!! We also kill the wither...3 times and then setup an automated tower o' doom using phantom placers and the some redstone trickery. Enjoy!
