To my knowledge Reika designed Rotarycraft to be more fun when you figure it out for yourself, rather than blindly copying. This is one of the things that make me like Rotarycraft so much, (and wish my server owner didn't have such an aversion to it...) The only time i'd copy a design is if i wanted to toy around with it and see if i could improve upon it, or see how it worked first hand.

I have to say ive enjoying starting out again in rotary craft after having a long break from it. I'm very much looking forward to dabbling with reactor craft but at the same time it terrifies me as I might blow up my base!
Start with an HTGR (pebble bed) reactor. There is no real danger with it, but it's more complex to setup. If it overheats, it makes lava. The later reactors have small explosions, but major radiation issues. It's not like IC2 where you'd lose a few square KM.
Well, you do lose a large area, but not in the "now a hole in the ground" sense. Try living there, however, and...there is a reason the achievement is called "Time to Move".
Which is why I plan to build my reactor far, far, FAR away, and use electricraft to transport power back. Being an electronics geek is fun. (I have already memorized all the colour codes.)Well, you do lose a large area, but not in the "now a hole in the ground" sense.

No mystcraft on my server, and the end and twilight get reset every week. And it is technically not "my" server, just one that I play on.

Eeeh...I will just use swappable batteries, and a part of the owerworld, far away from everyone.
Resetting twilight forest every week???
... Why? The end I can understand -- there's only one dragon, and if you kill it, no one else can play. But TF?
Yeah... I have to rewrite the restore scripts, but the goal was to make it so weekly the ender dragon reset and the twilight reset so you could go adventuring. We just shutdown the server and restored from backup those dimensions.
That we have fixed size dimensions has alot to do with it.
Ohh ... TF kinda needs expansion if you have many players on a server. Fixed size would do it.
Do you at least ensure that a new seed is selected for the forest? Otherwise, someone might do something like find a rich spot in a hollow hill, and camp that spot for the reset.

We had a player do that once. I ask that players not use automated mining in TF. Manual is ok if they conquer the objective.
Mind if I use chromaticraft auto mining for crystals? It will pull everything up, but it is REALLY expensive to make and use. EDIT: I say this because the twilight forest has a greater chance for crystals to generate.
That's automated mining, isn't it? ;]
On another topic, ever since we upgraded to v5 all my ReC items have no textures in inventory. They are completely blank, not even the little purple corners. I switched to default from Soartex, they are still blank! I wiped my MC instance and reinstalled it all, and it showed up briefly. Second start they are gone again. Has anyone else seen similar issues?
Doh....I really need the crystals, and I don't want to a) target hollow hills b) leave large areas of the non resettable overworld without resources.
Quarry the arctic, make a bore. Plenty in overworld. My objection to TF is it's too resource rich, and if I auto-reset the dimension it's ripe for abuse again.
Hmm...Only problem is that CC's mining solution will pull up 17 by 17 chunks of stuff, without touching anything other than ore. I don't want to do that In the overworld, as that might annoy someone ("WHY CAN'T I FIND ORES?!?!?!"), but also, I respect that the Twilight is really rich in ores. Also, you need a ton of crystals. I think I have used 7+ stacks of then, and I am not even halfway through chromaticraft. That, and you don't get to choose level, type, or amount of ore that you get from CC's mining machine. It just pulls them all up, regardless. This means that you may get 20 diamonds, but you also get 500+ coal. It is a tradeoff.
Try removing all texture packs.
I moved some sprites around in v5, but persisting after removing the texture packs?
