I suppose, but it needs a use case.I'm going to assume that this thread is for RotaryCraft's add-ons as well as RotaryCraft itself.
Are electrum wires a possibility for ElectriCraft?
No. You cannot add recipes that make my endgame content from other sources no matter the cost or difficulty of those other sources, as that completely removes the RotaryCraft techtree.Also, I've noticed that Reika frowns upon people changing the recipes for his mod, due to the fact that it potentially destroys the balance of the entire game. In preperation for the next JamPacked, I ask if certain recipe changes could be 'approved' by Reika, such as adding end-game items from other mods to the recipes of end-game items from this mod, etc.
Reika even though it is not my place to "Demand" that you read this or make a response to this I'd really like atleast a no because I really would like that and I'd like to know if it has any chance at all of happening.I don't exactly have a place to suggest this so I will here:
1. Could you make a Higher-Tier Meteor Radar or Config option for the ability to have the Meteor Radar's vaporize Meteors instead of make them Sky burst; It's making my lawn very dirt and sacrificing the benefit of free ores might just be fine for my house (Obviously outside, If I were underground I would not care)?
2. Could you add a Config Option for the Forcefield Generator that if a Meteor hits it instead of Sky bursting that they get Vaporized?
It is not high on my list of priorities.Reika even though it is not my place to "Demand" that you read this or make a response to this I'd really like atleast a no because I really would like that and I'd like to know if it has any chance at all of happening.
Passive systems can never cause overpressure. Only active pumping can.So regarding the liquid pipes where they have a maximum pressure. How likely are you to hit max pressure? I'm concerned about pipe reliability in passive systems (ie: reservoir collects rainwater, feeds a long pipe, is it going to break silently).
I've twice had a break in a pipe with just reservoirs feeding it, once in my living room, the second time underground which was a pain to find. That makes me wonder if I should have fewer reservoirs or a longer pipe.
I could appreciate a machine pumping away too hard.
I also think I'm the only one doing finite water to have these passive issues. ;]
Rock on Reika.
Passive systems can never cause overpressure. Only active pumping can.
Is chunkloading involved?That said, I've had two instance of breakage. I reviewed it, I'm using a suction pipe off a tank instead of directly connected to a reservoir. I'll try that directly and see if it behaves better.
Is chunkloading involved?
Then I do not know what can cause this. Under the differential pressure system, it is impossible for a reservoir to put more than 63.999 buckets into a pipe, something it can easily handle.It's in an area loaded. I'm very dependent on caching rain for water supply, so chunk loading is useful.
No, ElectriCraft is not complex or large enough to warrant it. Everything you need to know can be explained in a handful of wiki pages.Reika, out of curiosity would there be any chance of having a book for ElectriCraft like those available for RC and Reactorcraft? I understand a lot of the stuff in the mod is relatively self-explanatory, but at the same time documentation for Electricraft is pretty thin outside of the occasional spotlight video.
I'd also like to see documentation for the new Upgrade items added to the RC manual. I'm having a devil of a time figuring out what goes to what, besides the Afterburner upgrade going to the Gas Turbine, and I can't seem to figure out what the Magnetostatic Engine upgrades are now called either.
Fair enough. I brought it up because ElectriCraft is, on the wikis I've been able to find, generally a sea of redlinks.No, ElectriCraft is not complex or large enough to warrant it. Everything you need to know can be explained in a handful of wiki pages.
All but two of the upgrades are for the converter engines, something "tangential" to main RotaryCraft, and the other two are obvious.Fair enough. I brought it up because ElectriCraft is, on the wikis I've been able to find, generally a sea of redlinks.
What about the upgrades I mentioned? Or would that be better confined to a mechanics questions thread?
No, it appears that the converter engine upgrades got renamed with the v3 release, which is the source of the confusion. I suppose I'll go back to trying to work this out then.The converter engine upgrades are, if memory serves, called "converter tier [1-5] upgrade" in NEI. As for the other two, I guess they make the gas turbine and performance engine more fuel-efficient.

I think the afterburner actually makes the turbine less fuel-efficient; 2x torque (and thus power output) at 2.5x fuel cost, according to Reika's changelogs.
