52. I have the opportunity to go to both Johannesburg for 1 week for a debate conference in March and an opportunity to go to Harvard for 2 weeks in June for a "leadership summit" and sightseeing... I'm thinking one or the other...

51 I never got to go to such cool places. I got to be a co-presenter at a technology conference though, so that was awesome.

51 It was for my robotics team. We got invited to present at the Thomson Reuters "unconference", and were in two spots, each of us did some time at each. One room had us and a few other teams set up, so people at the event could drive the robots, the other room was a table that people could come up to and ask questions and stuff. The room with the table was especially weird feeling, because it was like HP, Dell, IBM, big companies, and then us, a few high school robotics teams. So it wasn't like up on stage presenting to a big group, but we were technically presenters, and had to answer questions and stuff.
It was a TON of fun, and since there were enough of us to cover without all of us being there, we each got to go to a few panels as well. Only issue was it was the first Friday of school, so day one of the school year, I'm telling all my teachers that I'm going to be gone on Friday, and asking what sort of things I need to be working on...

That sounds fun!

That doesn't sound too bad...

51 I finally have some time to play on my moderns skyblock 2 server again, but I end up needing to track down a bug which makes structured crafters break chests.

I can't switch to other auto crafters, as that are the only ones I can make with the resources I have and I can't use block placers as I need it to make grinders. (Those cost 2 cobble and 1 stick)

Anyone an idea what causes it?

Weirdly enough, the chest at the top will always stay.....

50 I'm still annoyed at my lost FTB pyramid map. MultiMC didn't load the mods and I did't notice until I had opened the world.

49, apparently it is a bug with structured crafters destroying inventories when there is a crafting conflict.

I guess I just need to update the pack and hope that that got fixed.....

51, I don't think so.....

If you want to know why, my transport options are right now limited to hoppers and transfer nodes. And transfer nodes need quite a bit of iron (well, relatively spoken)

Add to this that wood is very easy to automate. (just a hopper bonsai tree thing) and transfer nodes are annoying to craft and wooden hoppers suddenly become very attractive.

Also, I can't yet create item filters so that isn't a reason to go for transfer nodes and I'm also not sure how I can prevent them from inserting in other inventories,something which is very easy to do with hoppers.

Oh, and the thing on the direct right is where I attempted to auto create obsidian. Turns out that that is kind of hard, as I need to place a blazepowder block on top of a heat source. Wait a random amount of time to turn it into lava and throw water over it and break the obsidian.

My first attempt involved an observer but water + observer=redstone clock, making that idea unusable. (thus, that was a waste of quarts :( )

50. Holy Moly!
51 the contraption in the back has gotten bigger.

It now also turns cobble into sand, gravel and flint. (though, as it never stops processing gravel I don't think I will have much of that)

And, I am still forced to use automatic users for those. 1 to place a block and the other to break it with the correct tool. I'm actually not sure if my cobble gen can keep up with the demand. Especially as I am planning to turn the flint into netherrack which also costs 8 cobble per craft (and gives me 8 netherrack)

And the contraption that I am looking at in the picture is just 64 inferium furnaces hooked up. I made that when I could just afford to spend iron, which is why it lacks certain useful things like a hopping bonsai tree to keep the furnaces stocked with fuel. I also don't use it often enough to be worth the effort to do that. Maybe if I can improve the distribution of items so it becomes faster but for now, I can't do that or at least don't know how :(

I remember that transport nodes had several modes that you could access with a stick, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Please tell me that that is still a thing and I can make them round robbing.... Because then I can make that thing finally useful......

50 found out you need to make a wrench now and I don't think its possible to set it to round robbing anymore :(
