Is this on a server?

Some servers run an addon that combines dropped entities together for performance reasons. So if you drop 30 torches on the ground near each other, they'll combine into a single stack of 30 torches. I suspect this is what's happening with your armor (not sure why, since combining armor is a recipe. But that's my best guess)

Sorry, yes this is on a multiplayer server. I understand the grouping of drops into stacks but I didn't think this worked to combine broken armor into fully repaired armor. It also happens with enchanted armor. I get only broken pieces if the chest is empty but if I cleanup after I get fully repaired pieces of enchanted and unenchanted gold, leather and chain armor.

@potato-chan MC ran fine on W7, ye, but now seems to have issues with W10 & openGL. Idk how to manually install openGL, as it just links to me an auto-updater that says I'm "up-to-date".

Yes that was the same with me. Just it was 7 and 8... So look up your card and find the W7 drivers for it then manually install them.

As for download for openGL I got it from some shady youtuber linked download site.. But it did work I was able to run a newer version of MC on my computer then what mojang said I could

Are there any good guide out there on the gaia guardian fight? Not on how to summon it, but how to defeat it- even in a test world I just suffer humiliating defeat after humiliating defeat.

Its fairly straightforward, I fought it the first time with the following equipment:

Enchanted Elementium Armor: Protection, Thorns, Last Stand
Terrasteel Blade - Sharpness
Livingwood Bow - Power, Infinity
Rings - Haste, Far Reach
Pendant with the Protection status effect
Vials - Absorption, Regen

Just make sure you don't stand too close to the extremities of the fighting radius or you will take pretty hefty damage. During the phase where he spawns mobs focus on killing the Witches and any other mob thats able to poison you. Everything else should be fairly easy.

If you use the proper equipment Gaia 1 is comically easy.

It's the 2.0 that's unkillable, but i think i have a more basic problem: i just can't hit it (and it always hit me and knock me around, even with a tectonic girdle). I have the ludicrously overpowered Quantum armor, but he simply drain it out before i can kill him. So far the only reliable method of attacking him that i found is pretty much hoping that he teleports into my sword.

The Terra Blade is my weapon of choice against both Gaia Guardians. They both have a bit of enderman logic, as in they tend to teleport out of the way of most projectiles, but the Terra Blade's beam attack can still strike them.

I'm having trouble configuring my basic factory in the Mekanism mod. Right now the one I want to configure is currently set to enriching. I want it to be changed to smelter, yet when I create an energized smelter and place it on the I part of the GUI it falls to the floor. Is there something I'm missing?

I wrecked that little pansy with the sword from the Practicalities mod.

So, is there any good tutorial on the gaia fight?

yes for fighting the gai the projectile the tera blade shoots works nice for hitting the gai but ive used a upgraded shock focus from thaumcraft (4 lvls of potency and the chain lightning one, chain lighting is great for minion phase and for gai's fairy minions) as for armor quantum is the right step but as u said not enough duration other armors ive seen used/used myself is bound armor with soul harden III potion effect and enchanted flux armor (protection iv on all)

edit: whoops wrong potion tier 3 was used not 4

I need the most compact way to "transmit" a redstone power value. A vanilla Redstone Comparator attached to a Railcraft tank valve will output a redstone signal strength based upon how full or empty the tank is. Just shy of empty and the Comparator will only output enough power to light up one length of redstone dust. But if the tank is full, it will output enough power to light up the full 15 lengths of redstone dust.

How can I read, transmit, and output this power state to a remote location? If I just put an Ender IO Redstone Conduit pointed at the Comparator, the output from the conduit will always have a power value of 15 no matter what the input value is ("send strong signal" is unchecked if that matters).

Right now I have a line of 15 redstone dusts on the floor coming from the Comparator so I can monitor the tank's level, but that is very messy, taking up floor space, and its also quite prone to breakage (water spill on the floor, tragic). So I need to find another way to do this project.

Much simpler suggestion...

I believe buildcraft gates will work for what you want, if you hook up a gate directly to the tank and set it to read the tank level. This is much more compact than what you are describing

MFR Rednet cable is most likely what you're looking for. Send a signal of strength n in one end, pull a signal of strength n out the other end. AE2 redstone-attuned P2P tunnels may be able to do that as well.

Fair enough, altho I have been informed the gates only can do 25% increments. That will work, but I'd prefer the 15-increments that the vanilla comparator provides. And not only that, I haven't built am Assembly Table or a Laser yet, nor do I have a reliable source of RF power yet (it's a GT modpack so I'm an EU-snob currently LOL).

Gregtech, no MFR, sorry. :) I miss the mod a lot, but I also don't miss it, if that makes any sense. haha Sometimes doing things the hard way is more fun (and more aggravating). AE2 is still way out of the question, not using vanilla recipes.
