Problem Uncraftable Steel, Can't solve, lot of effort

[Let_Me_Be]

Hi, I already asked about this once, without getting any proper answers.

I have an issue on my server. I can't craft several recipes that are based on Steel, since they are based only on one of the Steel blocks and not the others (I have 3 types of Steel). The problem is that this type of Steel cannot be crafted in any way.

This is the type of steel that can't be crafted:


These are the other two types of steel, that are missing the two pages of recipes:


Can I fix this somehow? The recipes missing are for Distillation Tower.

Which modpack and version are you using? Which recipe are you trying to make?

 

[Let_Me_Be]

I'm using the last version of MindCrack pack (but this is a persistent issue). The recipe that cannot be crafted is the Distillation Tower.

That is what I suspected from reading your post. The distilation tower does not use steel blocks, it uses two industrial centrifuges in the top corners, which for some reason in the default download of MindCrack version 8.3.2 look like steel blocks and are uncraftable. There is another industrial centrifuge block that you can craft that does not work in the recipe. This is a known bug in the recent update to the modpack. So at the moment the distillation tower needs to be cheated in. Were there any other recipes that you are still unable to craft?

I need to check that with my users, I did a stupid thing, and upgraded today, it seems to have disabled some recipes. Basically the problem was that TrainCraft wasn't usable.

First one is Traincraft's steel, second is GregTech's, and third is from Railcraft

I don't know how to obtain TC, but for the others, Industrial Blast furnace for GT, and Blast Furnace for Railcraft.

OK, so after consulting with my users, it's all traincraft recipes. They are not listed in REI and they require this one specific type of steel that can't be crafted.

The recipes work if I generated the required steel, but it's bloody annoying to manually supply them with steel.

Did you know you can turn those recipes back on? Simply open up GregTech and RailCraft configs, and Ctrl+F "steel", the configs are really well explained, so you'll have to find the "AllowCraftingSteel" or something like that, that is just a guess, I don't have Ultimate mod pack, but I'm pretty darn sure you'll find it!

Yes, that was suggested before. I did go through the configs and there doesn't seem to be anything relevant. Here are all my configs:

GregTech configs:
BlockItemIDs.cfg http://pastebin.com/9rX5Mfq5
GregTech.cfg http://pastebin.com/qLjhFLxE
Recipes.cfg http://pastebin.com/q3WBxvae
RecipesAdvancedConfig.cfg http://pastebin.com/fs4vc3Br

RailCraft configs:
railcraft.cfg http://pastebin.com/2RcbwAUS
modules.cfg http://pastebin.com/TbA8B8Lg

The only relevant part seems to be in the RailCraft config:

refinediron {
#
# change to 'disable=true' to prevent Refined Iron from being used in any IC2 recipe. Use in combination with 'useSteel'
#
B:disable=false
#
# change to 'useSteel=true' to enable the use of Steel in any IC2 recipe that requires Refined Iron
#
B:useSteel=false
}

And in GregTech RecipesAdvancedConfig.cfg

####################
# storageblockcrafting
####################
storageblockcrafting {
B:blockSteel=false

But changing the settings didn't have any impact.

Are you using pure vanilla forge server, or MCPC+/BukkitForge, if so, are you using any plugins that bans the crafting/using for items/blocks?
I suggest you copy the config folder from your client to the server.

 

[Let_Me_Be]

I'm using the MindCrack FTB pack. That's all. All I changed was adding the DynMap.

 

[Alchemist]

Backup the server configs, and then replace them with the client configs, I hope it works.

They are completely identical. Just checked.

 

[Alchemist]

Well, I don't really know what you can do to solve the issue, sorry mate, but I hope you find the solution for it, goodluck and have a good day!

There's a solution... I'm also using the Mindcrack FTB pack. Build a Mystical Plinth and a Forge Lexicon, then convert the steel to the Traincraft version. I literally just tested this idea and it worked for me. I needed the distillation tower myself, and I noticed what Alchemist said before... That got me thinking about another problem I'd had with metals, and then it hit me: Forge Lexicon on a Mystical Plinth. Cheers!

Wow, that's a seriously interesting work-around. I would still love to have a proper solution though
