So the redstone repeater loses the ability to send redstone signals when its rotated with a hammer?

Spoiler

And this would of been a really cool timer too...

 

[madnewmy]

Inventory.

Not what i need then

Btw if you use AE assembler you can have autocrafting of all sieved ores at once with one machine(plus room for alot of other ones) simply make the setup for AE and the its assembler. Then simply queue up 999999 of each of them(you will have to refresh this whenever you reboot your network or it actually manages to craft 999999 items

Set and export bus with craft only on a interface

Thaumcraft air shards are eluding me. It says the double sandstone slabs. That's the one with the creeper face right? I've gone through several stacks, and all I'm getting is sand blocks. All the other blocks just disappear when hit with the hammer. These drop sand, so I think I have the wrong ones, but not sure what else would be made with the hint.

The creeper ones are chiseled sandstone slabs. What you want to do is get normal sandstone slabs and place them one on top of each other (on the world, not in a crafting table). That will create a sandstone block made out of two sandstone slabs, aka double slab.

Ahh.. that's what it wants. I guess I can't automate those.. Thanks.

Yes you can. Autonomous Activators can place them and break them with a hammer.

 

[netmc]

ok. cool. Is there a way to automate the grass blocks needed for the earth shards?

 

[madnewmy]

Someway to silktouch grass and send it to an autonomous activator

I think you can have
XGX
AXA
RBX

X is air
G is grass
A is autonomous activator
B is block update detector
R is redstone

(Not sure just an idea)

 

[firas55556]

Bah the export bus, I tried looking at several articles to find autocrafting but that was not one em, ty for that tip ^^

 

[ShneekeyTheLost]

I really wish there was a better way than Smelteries to get ores taken care of. I'd much have preferred the ore gravel and ore sand as well as ore dust being able to be pulverized into TE pulverized ore to throw into a furnace type thing. Then I could have 4x pulverizers, each one with a dedicated ore, feeding into an Induction Smelter for a FAR smaller footprint.

 

[netmc]

Now that I have my ae auto crafting set up, I will be feeding the gravel and sand into an autonomous activator using an export bus, and hammering it into dust. I can then send that to a pulverizer and furnace to make ingots.

The high temperature furnace from tinkerer's steelworks will also smelt ores, but will not make alloys, so you can send all the metals to one structure. I am not sure how to reliably fuel it as i don't exactly want to set up a charcoal farm for it, so i probably won't go this route for my stuff yet. But if you have the farms set up, it would probably work well.

 

[DeathOfTime]

Fed all my dust and gravel ore to the smeltery. Just to be rid of it. Now my smeltery looks like it should be overflowing.

Spoiler

and

Lessons I need to learn-
Don't dig straight down
Don't fall off ladders.
Third lesson so far. Don't overload the smelter.

Having fun playing Agrarian skies. My brother playing with me on the LAN is even better. This is the longest my save has lasted. I don't think I have died at all on it. Though that wouldn't make to much difference. I cheated up 64 more lives

 

[Salamileg9]

I restarted my AS world, and I recently found out something: If you have a good mob farm and a carrot farm (probably other farms too, but I'm using carrots) you're basically set for early game. Or at least until you get an igneous extruder/automated farming. Composting carrots is in my opinion among the greatest sources of dirt.

Same here. That was disabled because people were abusing the oreDict converters (MFR unifier and Mariculture Auto Dictionary I think) to get infinite ores. I think the converters should be disabled as generally builds that utilize them are abusing them in some way. Makes more sense than the current solution.

JABBA barrels OreDict convert as well.

Working my way through the McAureys side-quest and the "Chili Poppers" have no crafting recipe and i can't find one online, yet they are required for the quest. Bug? or am i just missing something?

Did you find out how to make these? I'm stuck on them too.

I also can't seem to make toast for that quest

It seems the chilipepper popper recipe was disabled. It's supposed to be bakeware, flour, chilipepper, and cheese.

 

[MonolithicBizkit]

I have a gold chest placed at the end of my auto-sieving set up. I'd like to auto-delete certain dusts, broken ores etc. I've tried two different ways but neither is working.

1. Item ducts into a trash can. I set certain items to whitelist but they don't pull out.
2. Items ducts into the void. Same deal, doesn't work.

Any advice?
Thanks!

 

[Cellfire]

I just have an itemduct pull everything out on mine then 1st stop is a trash or 2 that are filtered with a whitelist of the things I don't want. Then at the end it leads into another chest or the AE system or where ever.

1. might need a redstone signal to extract
2. item ducts (I think) need a target inventory- they wont vomit items into empty space.
3. JABBA barrels have a void upgrade- which destroys any extra items when the barrels full
