Water is not a good coolant. In AgS, capturing an enderman in a spawner means that resonant ender is actually an easy, and remarkably good, coolant to use.
In addition to 500RF/t per fuel rod block in the design the other performance target you want to exceed in an AgS Big Reactor is to get a fuel effiency of at least 60kiRF/mb. (not becuase, with a laser, you arn't going to be drowning in fuel anyway, but it is a matter of pride)
Also, *know* that blocks that are not directly in a line N/S or E/W of a reactor core block do NOT contribute at all to the cooling or radiation moderation effects in a reactor. If you build reactors as a grid (rather than a chessboard) this leaves a lot of interior spaces that can be filled with glass (the worst performing (that I know of)) of all the substances with no change in the operating temperature, RF/t or reactivity.
I think that a chessboard pattern reactor can really be considered as two interleaved reactors, a "black" reactor and a "white" reactor, but the cooling blocks have to do double duty on the cooling front (but still provide only the same amount of moderation).
This means you can fully cool a 4 control rod, arbitrarily high, reactor with a mere 4 source blocks of cryotheum, by balancing the source blocks on columns of glass and letting it flow down the sides.
Its from vanilla thaumcraft(compound aspects in nodes would essentially be worthless without em)
Thank you very much!
Does anyone know anything about chisels and how to level them (meaning: getting some modifiers on them)? Otherwise I guess I'll have to ask the author him/herself.
That question popped up a bit earlier in this thread:
You can either get one with your fishing rod and apparently there's the possibility of rightclicking with a crook on a dirt block that sits at the bottom of a 1x1x1 water pool.
I can confirm the first possibility, but I didn't try the 2nd one yet.
There is an undocumented feature in Ex Nihilo that helps with this. Make a small pond with a dirt bottom. Stand in an area where the water is exactly one block deep. Make sure there is nothing above you, so that the pond is exposed to sunlight and right click the dirt below you with a crook. It takes a while to dig out a lily pad, but it'll work.
This 'feature' is going away in 1.7 because you'll be able to fish up lily pads with a vanilla fishing pole, which is why I never got around to documenting it on the official forum post. Somebody could probably add it to the wiki, but to the best of my knowledge it hasn't happened yet.
For some reason, my Harvester/Planter combo is running FAR slower than it should be, even with a sprinkler with bonemeal nearby its production is anemic at best. I suspect this is because it is breaking and replacing rather than using the right click functionality. Has anyone else experienced this?
What are you trying to grow? I've seen a large variety of speed of growth depending on the item. How large is the farm you are using? Is the issue that the mature crop isn't being harvested or that its taking forever to grow as well? There's a number of variables here and without knowing your exact setup its hard to narrow it down specifically.
It is taking forever to grow, it seems. I'm using a standard 3 x 3 farm of Soy, Potatoes, and Tomatoes. Each one has its own separate harvester and planter, I've already used servos to make sure that the right seeds are going to the right planters and that the fruits are going to the proper barrels. They just seem to take for flippin' ever to grow. Like hours of real-time.
Weird. You could try larger plots
I'm using 9x9 and i get decent quantities. Also, tomatoes don't need a planter. they only go to 50% when they get harvested. Soy did seem like it was growing slow for me as well so they may just be slow growing. I just gave it time and did other things If you really want to speed it up you could use a MFR fertilizer. You can use the forestry fertilizer for it which is nice and easy to make (2 sand and 1 apatite iirc).
Can you tell me what flowers oblivion and infernal bees need? I tried end stone and nether rack and ender lilies.Ok guys, I'm going insane, I love bees so much now with gendustry o.o
Gendustry is awesomeOk guys, I'm going insane, I love bees so much now with gendustry o.o
I have a collection of bees going myself. Don't feel like using an ender thermic pump? or tons of crucibles? use bee's! want extra resources? use bees! Its crazy and I love it! I have my bees all in a row and labelled for what each one is for. I can't remember off hand what all I have, but I know I have bees for extra diamonds, emeralds, phosphor (for lava production), wither skull fragments, manyullyn, ardite, cobalt, purple dye (well, I stopped their production since I finished that quest), redstone, ghast tear, and I'm sure there's more but I can't remember off hand....stupid work getting in the way of playing AgS!
