I was at RoC 164 25g. I removed 25g and put in the 25z zip into the mod folder. It worked before. Now MMC gives me and error. anything generally I missed or didn't do?[DOUBLEPOST=1407721675][/DOUBLEPOST]I can provide the crash log as text... how do you spoiler tags?

http://paste.ee/p/IXNqF[DOUBLEPOST=1407722407][/DOUBLEPOST]in game message while in 25g said there is an update to rotarycraft. I updated it. didn't catch his download site mentions that I should have everything Reika on the same version until after the error. gonna update everything and then see whats what.

was a question, I was thinking we could :p
but if you would add it, I would say it would lower the torque requirement to mine blocks ;)
That's not totally insane, but the borer is already pretty generous in terms of power consumption (I'd increase the cost of use personally, shrug)

That was it... if you update... everything R has to at the same update. Semper Fi, Carry on.

Tungsten is a by product of extracting iron. It does not seem clear to me how to make tungsten ingots for the bedrock breaker. Is it simply cooking it in a vanilla furnace, or what do I put it in?[DOUBLEPOST=1407757685][/DOUBLEPOST]or is the tungsten by product just come out in ingot form in the last stage?

Weird, NEI doesn't tell you?

With redstone ore, it was produced as a last-stage byproduct in a "dust" form which needed to be smelted. I don't recall offhand if it needed a blast furnace, pulse jet furnace or regular furnace.

I haven't tinkered with RoC in several versions (since iron become tungsten's parent) so I can't help much.

Np... you use a friction heater. It looks like a friction heater needs to be powered by a steam engine straight up and the heater is placed behind a vanilla furnace. Put in tungston flake and wait.

Looks like that was technically speaking. Tungsten needs a temp of 1300 something degrees to cook tungsten. A steam engine can only get a friction heater to 580 something. Multiple engines, higher tier engine, or another coil.

Yeah I was a bit surprised if you could get that working with a little steam engine.

Coils fix everything :)

Wow... 2 coils maxed with torque and speed and a 2:1 gear for speed gets me 1338C. Trooooll.... is that intended? How are people getting that 1350C number? Using just RoC of course?

Are you sure you want a gearbox at all? My previous testing once suggested that equal speed/torque was best for a friction heater (may have changed in the months since then)

Try using a HTGR.
I'm trying to decide if that's a joke :p

It's a bit of a joke and serious. An HTGR should generate enough power for that, but I was trying to be funny.
Awesome, I'm prolly just too Mondayed to pick up humour atm.

OP: An HTGR would obviously solve the issue but I dunno if you're teched enough to make one, and it would be overkill anyway. If necessary, a third coil would be the logical solution, but I'm curious if its really necessary (see my post re. the gearbox above)

Use a more powerful engine. Microturbines with gearboxes work perfectly.

One coil doesn't get close at 1024/1024. 2 coils at a junction with a 2:1 to speed equals 2048/1024 just about gets there. The 3rd coil got me there.[DOUBLEPOST=1407772937][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yep. Need tungsten to get bedrock breaker to get bedrock to get microturbine to get tungsten. I don't have tungsten ;). Alas, I'm good... 3rd coil pushed it over the line, got the tungsten and now the bedrock breaker.
