For some reason, the high oven will process ore dust but NOT ore gravel and ore sand as of 3.1.1.
I only post that because I remember using ore gravel before.
i am starting to have a biger and biger problem with my ore automation it is noting to fancy that i made just 2 smeltery's and stuff but the problem i have is that each time i close the game or the game crashes or i go to far away from the pipes (even with chunkloaders) the pipes start to break and start pumping stuff to the pipes that are set to output and the output pipes won't pull items out of the things they are suppsode to do is there anny way to fix this without needing to remove each pipe and replace and reconfigure it each time or do i realy need to do that last posible thing i can think of? and that is enabeling extra utilities pipes beacuse the ones from thermal expansion keep breaking
You're going to need to use some punctuation if you want anyone to be able to understand your problem, yet alone provide a solution.
But it SOUNDS like the pipes' destinations are full so it goes back to the original source, backstuffing the duct's output.
Problem using TiCon Smeltry to alloy Invar straight from blocks. 12 Iron blocks + 6 Ferrous should yield 18 Invar, right. A 2-high Smeltry [which has room for all 18 blocks], in which Ferrous melts before Iron so all Iron should alloy, is producing 12 blocks, 3 ingots of Invar.
I can't believe I'm the first person to see and report this. Lotsa stuff calls for Invar and block alloying in smeltry is quickest.
I just put 12 blocks of iron and 6 blocks of ferrous (aka Nickle) in my 2 tall smeltery and also got an unexpected result of 120 invar ingots + 5 ferrous ingots and 1 iron ingot (with 1 iron block not melted).
That comes out to 14 ingots and 4 bars.
I then did 2 iron and 1 ferrous block and got the expected output of 27 invar ingots.
It sounds like that might be an issue regarding the smeltery size. My conclusion is you melted more than it could hold (probably because it melted at the same time) and instead of waiting to melt more, it just discarded the amount it couldn't hold.
But the work around I guess is to have a taller smelltery in proportion to the amount of blocks you put. So if you were gonna put 18 blocks worth of stuff, make sure smeltery is 3 levels tall instead of 2. I haven't tested this so no guarentee even that would work, but it's worth trying seeing that it works fine with lower amounts.
everytime I create a new game I just drop into darkness and die... I die twice then it is game over.
The problem you described sounds like you haven't installed a map.
You need to download one of the maps from the FTB launcher rather than creating a new one.
