President Ark posted:Also, with your current setup endermen might be able to teleport out through the hole the cables are coming in through. One, they don't need holes, two they only do this when something triggers them. They only teleport on their own pretty rarely. Typically, they only teleport if they're in sunlight, on fire, touch water, or are looked at wrong. (The last is why you should just have glass if you want to see in.) And yes, I can absolutely verify it doesn't take holes - my auto spawner setup has none and I unthinkingly had blazes and endermen going at the same time, and as a result I had endermen everywhere until I shut it off.

How do you drain from a smeltery to a quest submittal block safely? Every other quest on Taffer's server has been done by someone else and we have 10KmB manyullium for the purple quest just sitting in a smeltery. Additionally, how should I set up the positioning for the ME input from a farm if I want the farm to be self sustaining? Dense itemduct on the split towards the ME interface block and 'consume stack: off' on the planter? Also as it turns out planters won't put more than one layer of cocoa beans back onto a jungle wood log, so that kind of sucks.

Suck it into an AE Fluid storage cell, then export it via Fluid Export Bus directed at the QSB.

Sage Grimm posted:Suck it into an AE Fluid storage cell, then export it via Fluid Export Bus directed at the QSB. Nine times out of ten, exporting straight from your AE Fluid storage to a QDS will glitch in such a way that your storage is emptied but your quest requirement does not go down. Use a buffer like a drum or portable tank in between the system and the QDS. Serious question though how did you get that much manyullyn? Purple madness seems like hands down the most insane quest of the bunch.

When I did the Destabilized Redstone quest, I had all of it in a resonant tank. I put an export bus on the QDS for it, then plopped down the tank and put an import bus on it and all the liquid INSTANTLY went into the QDS. You may be able to replicate this by importing out of a drain, but I am not sure. ^^^^ Wow seriously? Extra Cells is glitchier than I thought. I've completed most of the liquid quests and never ran into that bug though. Isn't "10000" molten Manyullyn just 10 buckets? That's not much. One bucket is just under 7 ingots, so that's 70 manyullyn, just over a stack. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 04:07 on May 26, 2014 |

Vib Rib posted:Do not do this. The only time I didn't make progress was when the QDS was not set to the quest the fluid would fulfill before setting the fluid export bus. The block will still happily accept anything given to it when it's blank. But buffering tends to be a good idea, no question of that.

I'm starting to look seriously at that dirt quest. What's the best way to approach it? I got maybe 10th of the way there using leaves on trees that I auto-bonemealed for the wood quest. But I don't think that's going to take me the entire way...

I'd go with really big fertilised tree farms and sludge boilers, probably. Double up on harvesters, shear the leaves and autocompost them as well.

Aside from just using all the sludge you get from harvesters and using said harvesters to shear leaves and then running them into barrels, I don't think there's a "better" way.

If you use jungle trees you also get compostable vines.

I'm currently running 3 farms with jungle trees, one of which is not shearing leaves and one of which being fertilized, though that is not sustainable and it needs moments of no shearing to restock saplings. That's feeding in 128 barrels fed by export busses. I'm not sure if its the barrels, the busses or the itemducs but that setup is reducing my fps from 90-ish to 30-ish. I'm feeding the sludge from my 4 farms ( one for regular produce ) into sludge boilers. At this pace I've managed to get to about 75% in a week. I'm not sure what to do to speed this stuff up aside from just sacrificing the rest of my fps to barrels, equip an axe of healing and just... alt-tabbing out to do something else. I'm done with AS for the most part, I am currently gathering the rest of my Purple Wool, Dirt and Mysterious Magnets. Its literally just a waiting game now to see what the remaining The End quests are. Don't really care much for bragging rights. I guess I'll just focus on making my platforms prettier ? So my advice is, setup something early on and don't wait to do it later like I did. Mysterious Magnets and Dirt are the most time consuming quests by far.

JadedCat said that Mysterious Magnets can be safely ignored; they aren't attached to any quest unlock and was only added in because people who love time-gated objectives kept pestering her. Compressed dirt is the worst of the required lot however. I could see shaving it down to just 10 Quad Compressed dirt and nothing of value would be lost. Purple is also not a fun one but the updates have added rewards on other quests for speeding up the process.

What's so hard about the magnets? I'm not there yet but you should be able to stick it in the cyclic assembler and crank them out. I don't see any materials that are particularly scarce, and it doesn't look any worse than the ME storage quest; that thing took like 30k plastic. And yeah, not a big fan of the FPS hit of harvesting trees - my barrels are in the same closed room as cobblestone, so there's no FPS hit there. Mostly I find that I want a really fast way to destroy cobblestone. The flux-infused pickaxe is okay but what I really want is a builder's wand in reverse. Also, wondering the best free-ish way of growing plants is? I've got 6 lamps of growth which are pretty nice, industrial fertilizer though I can't make near enough of it, and I assume there's a really good blood magic ritual that I haven't researched yet. I need wayyy more lettuce, vinegar, and tomatoes than I currently have. Bhodi fucked around with this message at 16:46 on May 26, 2014 |

I've just discovered how to easily automate obsidian production. Igneous extruder into a fluiduct leading to the side of a stone barrel with water flowing over the top, item duct underneath to take it away. How have I not realised this before?

Oh, that lettuce quest is also high up there in terms of tedium. 50k feels like an extra zero slipped in, particularly how much farmland you would have to invest towards a single crop to finish in a short time frame. That's not fun.

So I have a new issue, this time texture related. I amalgamated some blocks from CodeCraft and put them into the Failthful pack. My specific issue is with the redstone texture. It appears to be reveresed and I have no clue how to fix it short of attempted to see if I can edit and turn the texture so it's not reversed. Codecraft/Faithful Amalgamation  Faithful  As you can see they are connected. Robzilla fucked around with this message at 17:27 on May 26, 2014 |

Is there some limit to how much power can be transmitted through a tesseract? When I was using ordinary cables, my five magmatic dynamos were able to power my base without problems. When I sever the cable and try to send power to my AE system using a tesseract, the system goes dark every other second. Is it because magmatic dynamos reduce their output when they don't see anything in the network they need to power? Can't they see machines on the other end of the tesseract?

I'll be honest, some of these quests I feel pretty okay about cheating through. I enabled the recipe for item nodes on Extra Utilities so I could get fast, no-lag cobblegen that still has a large entry cost. Having beat most of it in a prior playthrough, I cheated my way through most of the Thaumcraft questline, especially since it somehow manages to feel even more useless to the modpack than Forestry and Blood Magic do. Blood Magic was actually kind of fun to get through, in fact. But yeah, some of these quests just aren't really worth sitting through. The pack clearly has some balancing left to do, and some quests like most of the liquids and a lot of the craftable hoard quests are pretty solid, but there are a few quests that are just days and days of waiting even once you get good infrastructure set up.

Can you take a screenshot? Which version of everything are you running (MC, SEUS, Optifine)? The sun is definitely too bright at certain times of day on 10.1 for me. I also have a weird thing where when the moon sets, the lighting shifts to look like sunset again. I also can't see falling rain (but I can see the splashes.)

Um. I'm trying to put my giant array of leaf-composting barrels somewhere far away from my work area so it doesn't lag up my FPS. Problem is, I can't send stacks of leaves through a tesseract to the barrels because itemducts only want to put one item in a barrel at a time, and won't route to more than one barrel. Am I just going to have to make a quantum network bridge? I guess I could set up a second ME Controller over there, and import the leaves into the system through the tesseract before exporting to the barrels in parallel, but that seems like a lovely solution.

What tools/items/etc do you guys like for disabling rain as a non-admin? I'd prefer something science-y but the forestry machine is a bit of a pain. I know there's an anti-rain thing in Totemic, what other options are there? I know about the muffler in extra utilities too, but it's the visuals that cause FPS drops, not the sound.
