Anyone know any good setups for engineers toolbox? I have tried out a basic build in creative and I managed to make a Grinder+Furnace setup in one block, but it processes stuff really slowly, even with power.

Is there a way to get all the cool trees in Forestry without bee breeding? Like maybe some mod that just puts them on the overworld or something? Some people on my server don't mind the bee breeding poo poo, which is great for them, but I can't stand it.

The way I did it is I went into forestry.cfg, then immediately closed it and removed Forestry and got Natura and Biomes O Plenty.

The former for "stuff?" and the latter for bonus ethanol production. Only neither the new Forestry multi-farms (which are admittedly cool when you figure them out, and pretty looking) or the easier to work with (but not as pretty) MFR harvesters recognize or harvest the fruit in my experience. Honestly, the only really neat things about Forestry in my opinion are the crazy multifarms and the biomass/ethanol/charcoal production of a tree farm for infinite power. Both of which can be done just as well with MFR's equipment that's a lot easier to work with. The only advantage of the fermenter/distillery setup is that it's easier to get a decent amount of fuel out of as compared to MFR's bioreactor which will devour materials for minimal gains if you're not careful.

Forestry farms is kind of easier to automate but is more limited in what it can do. what it does do (if you are farming the right kind of tree) is poo poo two different kinds of fuel. The only issue is the initial (large) resource cost. But it tends to be cheaper energy wise when its constantly running. TL;DR It's a much better low end farm. Use MFR for mass production using fertilizer.

m2pt5 posted:Multifarms have to be configured to Arboretum to pick fruit off trees, and you want the fruit picker, not the harvester. I fiddled with both in creative with the Toasty modpack. The Multifarm just didn't seem to recognize the fruit, either the pods or the stuff that fell from leaves. The fruit picker didn't seem to recognize any podded fruit besides chocolate on jungle trees. Though for all I was doing something wrong either way, but honestly oak saplings in a fermenter with water instead of juice gives more than enough free energy to work several combustion engines.

The differences are really so slight that they more or less are negligible once everything is up and running.

Yeah ink is the best right now. I got 8 ranchers surrounding one squid feeding into 4 bio reactors and a DSU for the surplus, after two days the DSU have almost 800 000 ink in it.

Is there a host that's recommended over the others, or is creeperhost fine? If you're at all comfortable in linux (or willing to learn) then you can get a nice VPS from Ramnode (promo code LEB35 for permanent 35% off) or DigitalOcean and roll your own server. I'm running a couple smallish servers with huge custom mod packs, one dynmapped, a mumble server, and web hosting for the pack downloads on a $20 server from Ramnode. Also, RE: Squid Power, I ran 180 MJ/t of biofuel generators comfortably on two bioreactors being fed by a single squid-rancher and a 16x16 melon/pumpkin farm. The three-product efficiency is crazy and over 90% of my ink ended up getting voided. It's even more ridiculous if you throw 4 Lilypads of Fertility down on the farm. I used pulverizers to seedify the fruits, but you can also do it with any form of autocrafting. For the squids, make sure you use a Jailer's Safari Net or else they'll up and disappear every couple hours

There was supposed to be a bioreactor nerf that made it so you had to diversify significantly to get similar results to a single item now. When that comes into effect, if it does, it will be important to have multiple things to feed them. It'd be a well deserved nerf. Khorne fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Sep 11, 2013 |

So after placing down a floor of Advanced Blast Walls and Walls/Ceilings of Marble Pavers in a massive room (fully chunkloaded - 12 chunks large), i get really bad lag when breaking the advanced blast walls apart. I love the texture and their feature, but I am going to have to take them out of they are causing this problem. Anyone have any experience with Artifice and lag from using large amounts of the blocks?

Khorne posted:It depends on what else you are doing. Spawners get bones pretty easily, and wither skeletons are a pretty common thing to have a permanent spawner setup for. With 9 different input products processing simultaneously, biofuel per input item yield doubles. (To 160 mB / item IIRC.) Efficiency scales linearly with # of inputs. So yeah, you can realistically just do a squid farm for everything. It is fun to setup more, though.

If you really only want a single-crop bioreactor, and have magical crops installed, it's hard to beat dye seeds. The reactor will run off both the seeds and the dyes you can make from the essence. Since there are more than 9 dyes, that single crop type is enough to run a bioreactor at full efficiency. Bonus: never hunt down dye material again.

Alkydere posted:Does either the multifarm or harvester work with magical crop plants? I know the planter at least knows what to do with the seeds. For MFR-magical crop compatibility, it depends on the two versions. From my group of mods, I can say with certainty that the most recent MFR, 2.6.4-975, works with an older version of magical crops, 1.5.1.2.1.0. I saw in the magical crops thread that the newest version of magical crops doesn't work with MFR, and the mod author says that's on MFR's end to fix. Since powercrystals is nowhere to be found, you're probably better off updating MFR to its most recent version, and then keeping magical crops at a version that works with MFR. I'm going to see later tonight which is the most recent version that works with MFR.

Yup, been testing it msyelf in creative. While the Dye-farm is probably the most absurdly productive for a bio-reactor, it's not feasable for automation. Neither the MFR harvester nor the entire multifarm system works with the dye. A pumpkin/melon farm, on the other hand, can do quite well with an auto-crafter turning pumpkins and melons into seeds. Finally a squid-reactor is obscene. The ranchers spit out ink sacs as fast as they can, which is ever so slightly faster than a bioreactor can empty itself out. What's even better is you can surround a tank with multiple ranchers. If it weren't for the fact that there would be no room for the power lines, you could make the entire tank out of ranchers and make so much loving ink.
