Current Projects and Suggestions

[Technician]

Post your current projects and then give people suggestions for their builds and setups!

Here's my current plan for an airship, I doubt I'll make it flying capable, I am gonna put my steamboilers in it, and probably bees or something. Am unsure. Also, I worry it'll be too close to my house. Here's the "Baseline" for it. Also, should I go RP2 sorter or AE? AE will take a metric ton of time but is infinitely better.

You should think about investing in long fall boots, assuming you're dying because of falling.

I like to fly really high with my Modular Powersuits. I was using solar helmet, Nano legs, jetpack, and long fall boots but, I like Modular Powersuits. I don't die too much on peaceful but on Hard it's a bit annoying.

Wow dude how often do you die? Keep the shock absorbers on.

I'm sorry, but what am I meant to be looking at, I see some blocks placed on the ground, and a row of wooden planks.. Am I missing something or is that your ship?

I clean Rei's minimap often too, actually. Instead of pressing "Z" to fall I just press my keybind and drop.

Might want to invest in a parachute then. You have to sneak to use it, but it is dirt cheap, consumes no power, doesn't add weight(AFAIK) and means you fall to your death less.
Or, assuming you have all your things bound to one key, add more binds so you can turn off ones that you wish you kept on due to all these "rough landings".

It's okay, the line of planks is going to be around the size of the ship. Kinda asking how big it should be.

I have all tool keybinds on "b" Water electrolyzer and night vision on H and flying stuff on N. But I'll try that

The parachute is always worth looking into. Shock Absorbers are handy, but only a Parachute can save you from a massive fall. Well, maybe glider wings can. Both are worth looking into for early game movement upgrades with GregTech.(the Parachute costs about the same, but requires a compressed air cell, and the glider wings require the plates you use for wind generators, but otherwise, it's way cheaper then making even jetboots)
Well, earlier then jetpacks.

So..huge AE sorting/processing or Redpower?

I play without Gregtech so it's a lot easier for me I might start a Mindcrack/Ultimate world with that one Brutality Config pack...

AE, if you've done redpower before. If not, flip a coin.

I've had a lot of fun playing with the AE setup, including my 'wall of destroying stuff I don't need to keep more than 10 stacks of'.

I vote for AE. Using it means less lag when it's in use, and it's pretty much impossible to jam it(though you may find it consuming insane amounts of power just by having things set up, and you might find it confusing, or misplace things, but I personally love it).

 

[Technician]

I don't find it confusing. Also, the chance to make a FREAKING SERVER ROOM makes it too hard to pass up.

Anyone else want to post their projects etc on this thread?

Make it HUGE.
Then make a fleet of smaller ships around it.

Then make them all fly and TNT the world. Oh yeah.

Why use TNT? I mean, you have IC2 and Nukes, right?

 

[ILoveGregTech]

Not using GregTech?
Hmmm. How about this?
Tree Farm>Charcoal>Generators>EU>Mass Fabricator (try to make say 1/min)
AND
Tree Farm>Biomass>Biofuel>HP Boiler>Turbine>EU>Mass Fabricator #2 (again try to make 1/min)

 

[Technician]

I'm not using IC2 too terribly much besides to power my AE that I'm gonna use. IC2 really needs to be updated to a IC3 for new stuff.

Also, guys, post your stuff here too! SERIOUSLY DO IT RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I WILL CRY OR SOMETHING

I don't have any worlds right now
I can't find a server to play on that I want to invest time into
Got any suggestions?

Automated this reactor:

Spoiler

Used GT advanced regulator and advanced buffer, but remembered toward the end that misc peripherals added a cheaper slot level inventory manager upgrade to turtles. The recipe was a nether star now just uses one of the other upgrades that is still expensive, but not hard to make. 2-3 turtles + upgrades are way cheaper than the GT machines and won't blow up next to the reactor -- GT machines had to be at the edges with just their output face touching.

Would also be able to get it down to just 2 AE storage networks.

Time to rebuild...
