Spent my first hour or 2 just getting setup with shelter, wheat farm, tree farm, and an iron suit and pick. Spent about 20 minutes going over the roc book. Sand is going to be a little pain for the steel and whatever... I'm in what looks like an extensive Extreme hill biome. Nothing looks too scary in the book, but I think I need to get real basic with the power/processing. Like 1 for 1 until I get a hold of this thing. There is something refreshing about a non fluid power generation. Its by far less efficient, but something I haven't worked with yet and should be very predictable.
The consumption rate on sand when making steel is so low that you should be able to get by with a few pieces for a while.
Same with Gunpowder. I'm pretty sure I've only seen it get used once.
You can with the grinder i think, or the boring machine
seems to be around 10% for gunpowder and 1-3% for sand. I usually need around 1 gunpowder per stack or iron
well got the blast furnace going. Put in a whole stack of iron and no bonus steel from the entire process. *thumbs down* The book and wikis all said that charcoal was usable to cook steel. It isn't. Only coal... maybe Coke, but I'm not at the stage for Coke yet. Took a look at more roc book pages. Pretty taken back by all the high end stuff. Spawner control, bedrock stuff, farming, there is a jetpack for flight, etc. RoC looks to be pretty resource intensive... atleast comparatively speaking to the mfrs, tes, etc. That being said, it looks like it can do everything from ic2 to bc to mfr to te, just not as easily. I like the potential conversion between it and the other significant power mods. In the future, even if I don't seem to like the tech curve of roc, that conversion capability may be the reason I might put it in all my other play through modpack attempts.
It requires using Coal Coke now if you want the bonus steel. Rotarycraft Coal Coke is obtained quite simply through running coal through the blast furnace, at a 1:1 rate.
No its fine to go through roc's tech tree... Just that there is a mechanical way to convert from BC to RoC to IC2 or anything like that.[DOUBLEPOST=1406907068][/DOUBLEPOST]
Now that, I had no idea... Wished that was in the book. very cool to know though. does that RoC Coal Coke equate to railcraft coal coke?
I am not certain on that as my personal pack of "Reika's mods + random things I want to include" doesn't have Railcraft this go round.
This change probably didn't get noted in-book because it was part of the v24 pile of stuff and the book is still catching up on that stuff (e.g. Magnetostatic tiering, etc.). I usually pay a daily visit to Reika's changelogs here, which is where I got that from in the first place, but that's also because for my SSP run I'm staying on the bleeding edge with those mods.
ok it can power a single base with a bazillion of extractor and boring mahine
Im fairly sure you can't ever build something big enough to use that energy up.

I suggest watching Reika's world tour videos. He may not be using all of it, but I have a feeling he could if he wanted.
