Ok. Not so simple question. But I wanna try gregtech. I did disable some stuff, like the wood and lower durability on stuff. But Ive never tried gregtech. Is there a getting started with it? Hammers? All these new stuff? Its like wooooah.

ive stuck it in unleashed since the pack came out, and disabled all the stupid recipies.
for GT, your starting point is IC2- macerator, extractor, etc. GT has its own versions, but you cant go wrong w/ a generator, electric furnace, macerator, extractor. IC2 has some massive changes coming soon, with its own ore-doubling (currently triple, but will be changed) line.
then you can move up to some of the adv. stuff. its mainly power storage and better versions of the basic machines. the latter in form of cool multiblock structures. your main mid-late game power source will be either ulti-hybrid solars, and/or nuclear reactors.
for truly stupid amounts of power, a fusion reactor is THE end-game power source-that needs a serious amount of work to automate.
when in doubt, open a creative world and the wiki. look something up, mess around, look another thing up, etc.
Does darkness from the Gaseous Tenebre allow for hostile mobs to spawn in affected areas (actually lowering light level)?
Well, it lets you plant oreberry bushes in the affected area, so I'd be willing to say yes.
The way I interpret it:
Each liquiduct can transfer at max 160 mB/t into the consumer. A boiler transfers at max 80 mB/t into an adjacent block that accepts steam.
Your setup in the top picture has 3 transfer systems:
- boiler via 7 liquiducts -> steam consumer via 3 liquiducts: 7*80 = 560 input max, 3*160=480 output max => 480 transferred
- boiler via 1 liquiduct -> steam consumer via 1 liquiduct: 1*80 = 80 input max, 1*160 = 160 output max => 80 transferred
- boiler directly into the steam consumer: 80 transferred
Sum: 480+80+80 = 640
Your setup in the bottom picture has 2 transfer systems:
- boiler via 8 liquiducts -> steam consumer via 4 liquiducts: 8*80 = 640 input max, 4*160=640 output max => 640 transferred
- boiler directly into the steam consumer: 80 transferred
Sum: 640+80 = 720
its battery will be added to the total with it selected in your hotbar, making it seem as though power increased.
Actually, that's wrong. If your power tool is in your inventory at all, its weight and battery level is included in the powersuit's calculations, not just if it's selected in your hotbar.
Shoulda mentioned. Im on 1.6.2 gregtech. 1.5.2 Im done already. Built everything I could want via ic2. Got solars for days. Few other stuff. Etcetc. But I always wanted to try actually using gregtech so I could have a reason for iridium and what not. And in 1.6.2 there also doesnt seem to be advanced solars.(Prob cause it hasnt updated. harhar) but yeah. Only 1 solar panal from what I can see. So I need to branch out and use other mods too.
Perfect explanation now I get it thanks for the reply.[DOUBLEPOST=1378654386][/DOUBLEPOST]
I think few people will know. I use solar panel and kinetic generator and installed them the day I made my suit so I wouldn't ever know if the suit gained energy in a "wrong" way. I also think few people try to solve bugs that give them free stuff too
Xycraft tanks question;
I'm still playing on a Mindcrack-pack server and I'm now at the stage to start building a fusion reactor, for the tritium and deuterium I want to use Xycraft tanks as buffers.
I need the whole setup to fit in a single chunk (or more accurately have only a single chunk loaded), so my question is, do I only need the input/output valves to be inside the loaded chunk (to save space) or do I need the whole tank in the chunk?

I don't know the answner to your question but if you want to play it safe I would consider stacking vertically and putting the tank valves on the bottom (top can be used only as a fluid input).
Multiblock structures like Xycraft Tanks glitch up and usually become individual blocks when they go over a chunk boundary and one chunk's unloaded. So it'll forget that it's a tank, so I highly recommend keeping them in one chunk (or just using Chunk Loaders.)
Not AFAIK. I suppose you could just check which version of Java's the default and MC probably runs that.
Options --> Snooper Settings --> find the line named "java_version".
Let me answer myself: check the log file (ForgeModLoader-client-0.log) first before asking questions. The second line tells you which version it's using:

What is the nature of invar armor? Does it have special properties? I can't find anything on it anywhere.

Does the current version of TE in FTB Unleashed still allow for rich slag to be produced? I've smelted around 200 ores (not dusts) with sand in my induction smelter so far, with not a single piece of rich slag produced. Am I just incredibly unlucky?
