Just took a look at a mod spotlight for Big Reactors. Looks like I'm going to have to squeeze another mod into my creaking build! I find multiblock reactors like BR and AE reactors so cool.

Light Gun Man posted:Force fields are sort of an alternative to quarries. Set them up with the things that make them break blocks and place them into an attached chest, power it, watch as it beams a hole of your desired size/shape. Like MFFS force fields or something else? Rutibex posted:I dropped Buildcraft a while ago. I use mining Turtles instead of Quarries, they're cheaper and work just as well. No dumb power system to manage ether. I'm done with power in Minecraft, it's just so pointless all you end up using it for (besides making power generating infrastructure) is quarrying and macerating which I can do fine with Better Furnaces. Turtles frankly should be the replacement for a lot of things, but by and large most players I know don't like them. Also most server admins seem to hate CC because its very simple to lag the whole server via intentional or unintentional bad program writing. I guess being no more complicated then place block/s apply power and item tube is also a requirement for a replacement quarry. Hagop fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Nov 13, 2013 |

 Step 1: make incense Step 2: put it in a burner and set it on fire Step 3: watch as little nature sprites come and help your garden grow faster

That was one thing I never liked about MJ was the 100mj cap in tesserects and trying to power forestry machines that would take a minimum amount of MJ but could take a lot more if it had access to it. That has nothing to do with the fact that it used MJ, that was just a choice on the part of the developer. Tesseracts and energy cells will be very different in the new version, though.

Yea if they can make it accept unlimited that would be cool. Then I could just run a huge line of engines instead of having to figure out how many engines divide into a tesserect evenly (if possible) so I am not wasting energy.

That was one thing I never liked about MJ was the 100mj cap in tesserects and trying to power forestry machines that would take a minimum amount of MJ but could take a lot more if it had access to it. The Tesseract cap is gone, yes. They only move RF, however. There's no good way for them to accept MJ and function how they do. Conduits will auto-convert from RF to MJ. Energy cells are tiered now, so the transfer rates are 80/400/2000/10000 respectively, or 8/40/200/1000 in MJ.

Fantastic!!! That's exactly what I was hoping for. The power source doesn't matter. As long as all the machines work with RF this will be awesome.

(I haven't got the latest update in yet, but that will go in sometime today.) I've also been running a server with that pack on it, but it's been private only for a couple friends. At least Thaumcraft 4 contains a way to combat taint, even if it is expensive and (intended to be) single-use. (It's a plant made from shimmerleaf that is supposed to revert to shimmerleaf when you break it, but Thaumic Tinkerer's dislocation focus can pick it up and re-place it.)

PiCroft posted:Just took a look at a mod spotlight for Big Reactors. Looks like I'm going to have to squeeze another mod into my creaking build! The only thing that's a little weird is if you design a reactor that's 5x5 with a 1 or 2 tall center and surround it with water blocks it puts out like 0.2mj/t. It uses fuel extremely slow, but it's a little unexpected considering how much power it would put out with a slightly different design. If you elongate it and put a second column or make it a few blocks taller it will put out the expected amount of power and consume fuel at a faster rate. Atomic Science can kind of be cheated by using a 1x1 railcraft boiler to power its turbines. It also generates steam in a really unintuitive, and probably unintended, way that makes one reactor more powerful than 30 were intended to be. The multiblocks have a bunch of display issues and function like a single block, it's possible to crash servers with particle accelerators, and there's a few other bugs like that. I think atomic science reactors are cool anyway. Khorne fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Nov 13, 2013 |

Does anyone have a "everything and the kitchen sink" mod pack that was popular back in 1.5.2 Progress seems close but I feel like it's missing a couple of things (Chocobo's, Thaumic Tinker, Ars Magica 2)

Is Ars Magica 2 still buggy and broken/causing heavy lag, or is it better in the more recent updates? (Also can it retro-gen those little pools of liquid it needs to get started? I'm considering adding it to my modpack but I don't want to have to restart the world.)

I found a new group of friends to play Minecraft with and we've done the vanilla thing for a little while now. It's time for mods. I've tinkered with stuff- mostly the minimap mods- but never anything too advanced. I love the Yogscast videos and recommended a few mods for them to start with, but can anyone just toss me a few simple mod ideas for us to cut our teeth on? Edit: And I mean really simple. I don't want a full Tekkit assembly line here, or anything I need to keep a wiki open to understand, just a few things to keep the game interesting. New mobs and gear and such is a plus.

Sorry if this is a dumb question: does this mean you can go from a BC engine -> energy conduits -> Tesseract, but not BC engine -> BC energy pipe -> Tesseract? Also, are there tiered Energy Conduits (or do they no longer require obsidion)?

No, nothing in TE accepts MJ. This includes conduits. RF only. Conduits are able to output to MJ receptors, however. The first tier of Energy Conduit only requires glass.

I want to set up a server for a couple friends that runs the mods in the FTB Unleashed pack but alongside Thaumcraft 4 instead of 3. I know that the FTB modpack runs on Minecraft 1.59 and Thaumcraft 4 only runs on 1.6. My question is, does anybody know of any technic platform pack that includes Thaumcraft 4 and a a lot of Tekkit style industry mods? If there isn't one, can I just throw a bunch of mods in the server directory with Thaumcraft 4 and expect it to work?

I never really use BC engines anyway. Have you managed to make it so you can output and input on the same conduit? Also, do we know if MineFactory Reloaded bioreactors (if it gets updated) will be able to output RF?

I know that the FTB modpack runs on Minecraft 1.59 and Thaumcraft 4 only runs on 1.6. If you're looking for a specific set of mods, chances are you won't be able to find a pack that has all the exact things you want, which means you'd have to make your own. But if you're running a server and have never made a pack before this probably isn't the best idea. It's really really easy to break a modded server. On the other hand, it's also a mess to use someone else's pack on a server because unexpected updates could easily break things. So in the end it's probably best if you make your own, but it will be a learning process.

I've been messing around with Tinker's Construct and the big smeltery and for some reason, I can smelt pulverized tin, but not pulverized iron. Its also a shame I can't smelt ores from other mods, like Cinnabar and Osmium, because its a really cool way to stretch ores in a manner that doesn't require me to set up a power system and pulverizer.

My major problem with BoP is that it's annoying as all hell to find a decent flat-ish biome in which to build a main base. I like huge cliffs and uneven terrain as much as anybody, but I'd like a place to settle that isn't so goddamn busy all the time

Khorne posted:There seems to be one ideal reactor design and it scaled to chunk size (16x16) 30 block tall reactors just fine. It's also reasonably balanced, although if you can make one early game it's pretty much infinite early game power. Late game yellorium becomes an issue unless you are a quarry tycoon, but even then I think something like multiple MFR laser drills might be out of reach if you do solely big reactor power unless you are doing multiple quarries or maybe some quarriesPlus or computercraft turtle stuff. For powering everything else, like an AE network and all the machines at your base, big reactors is solid. I'll take a look into that latter case, that's a bit weird. The fuel usage is due to heat; higher heat = faster fuel usage and also less power per unit of fuel used. Generally, the higher heat's higher instant power output makes up for it. Tools (blocks, etc.) for managing heat and changing internal reactor dynamics will be coming in 0.3 and above. The planned coolant system will let you squeeze far more power out of your reactor, provided you want to get spergy with pipes and stuff. There'll also eventually be better ways to reprocess or breed spent fuel back into usable fuel. Tools for changing internal reactor dynamics should also help fix the "one best design" problem; I'd prefer there to be tradeoffs and choices.

Add that.  (Cryotheum's temp is 50 btw; that's in Kelvin)
