RaspberryCommie posted:Is it normal that Mekanism Electrolytic Separators take absolutely massive amounts of power to run? Yeah, the wiki is out of date. Hydrogen is more costly, so that using it as fuel does not result in an infinite energy loop. It's not a loss either though, it's an even trade. Because of this, you could in theory use hydrogen as energy storage! Most likely you're just going to use it as fuel to power oxygen production, or to fill fuel tanks for a jetpack.

I'm not trying to be perfect here, just pretty good. A rule of thumb I had was that one reactor of XYZ dimensions, cooled with just water, would roughly power 4 turbines each having the same XYZ dimensions--slightly throttled to keep the spinning speed at a multiple of 900rpm. for turbines, you just need to remember two things: 1) one rotor blade soaks up 25 mB of steam per tick B) the maximum output of a reactor to a single turbine is 2000 mB per tick the coil you can make out of whatever, but enderium is the most optimal here's a sample reactor that is efficient http://br.sidoh.org/#reactor-design...C8O3C8O3C8O3E4O 11x11 and 1 block tall, outputs 2500 mB of steam per tick, so you can power 1 full sized 80 blade turbine and a secondary 20 blade turbine (if you want) you can use that reactor planner to screw around with different builds too also make sure to have the reactor and turbine inlet/outlet ports physically touching each other to provide instant transfer between reactor and turbine

Chickenbones, as far as I've heard, has had stuff going on, keeping him away from modding. Just Enough Items is a replacement for recipe lookup and item spawning (and has lots of mod integration, also a JEIaddons exists) If you want the old f7 light level display, get the Just What I Needed mod. The mouse wheel item movement can be replicated with Mouse Tweaks. The other stuff that NEI did, I don't know of a replacement yet.

There's the "for the hoarding" quest line, but it's also really half-assed and only in there because a lot of people requested it.

You can use destabilized redstone for a cheaper coolant. Unless that got changed in the year since I did those tests.

I've never quite seen super slow turbines before. I filled the top level of the steam reactor with liquid ender, made all the connections, and let it go. It is only producing 200.0 mb/tick of steam. It's just stuck there. According to the Big Reactor simulator, I should be producing, like, 60 times that amount. It's full of water and steam. What? Edit: I figured out that I had my tesseracts reversed. Everything picked up very quickly. I have probably been wrong about the whole water thing ever since I started doing Big Reactors. This liquid ender one is pushing the turbines hard. My rule-of-thumb of one XYZ reactor controlling 4 XYZ turbines is wrong. In reality, this thing could pull 8 turbines, from what I can tell. I had to reduce the flow rate in half to stabilize around 1800rpm. Rocko Bonaparte fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Feb 1, 2016 |

Since turbines don't have overspeed failure yet, you could keep the flow rate near 2000mB/t and have the turbine spin at 3600 rpm for quite a bit more power. Or double the coil blocks.

I had pondered just going overspeed, but I'm afraid what will happen when e-beef finally implements overspeed failures. Since I'm doing this for a tutorial modpack, I'd be perpetuating a potential bad habit. As it stands, my turbine working area already has 2 rows of enderium around the turbine shaft. Would doubling it be a straightforward way to double conversion? Furthermore, the inside area is 5x5, and I only have the coils taking up 3x3 of the space. Can I slap down more enderium around the outside and get an effect?

I've just figured out how ignorant I've been about Big Reactors overall. I built 5 more 5x5x8 turbines. They wound up over 1800rpm with no change on the system. This thing is just eating up turbines. I'll leave a strong impression on anybody seeing it in the tutorial world once I figure out what the hell I'm doing. I have been monkeying with this while the replies have come in, so it sounds like I need to put more enderium blocks on the coils, or something.

It's been a while since I played around with them, but IIRC you need multiple inputs to the turbine branching off of the output of the reactor. 200mB/t sounds low, but it depends on which mod's pipes you're using. I think EnderIO had the best one, the upgraded pressure conduit, which handled 400mB/t For whatever reason the output has unlimited throughput, but you'll need 5 inputs to the turbine in order to get the full 2kmB/t using EnderIO pipes. You'll need an additional output on the turbine and 5 inputs on the reactor in order to make it a closed loop as well.

Right now, I'm using tesseracts. Does that nullify a lot of the logistic problems? The 200mB issue had more to do with me not setting the inputs and outputs correctly. I seem to do that the first time I use tesseracts in some time.

Nullify and is recommended because most piping systems don't have the sheer throughput to handle 2000 mb/tick necessary for BigReactor turbines. I've done the same thing, Rocko. Eventually you just hit on the correct tesseract combinations and the second turbine goes a lot smoother.

you don't even need to use tessaracts for turbines, just make the inlet and outlet ports of each turbine touch a corresponding pair on the reactor physically then make one more inlet port on the reactor, hook it up to an aqueous accumulator, and call it a day

Texture pack I'd probably just go Sphax. Also I have not played Minecraft in literally years You can use the instructions ("Installation section") from Sildur's Shaders. There's also Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders (SEUS), which are very popular, but I couldn't get working on my machines. Granted, I then moved on to Sildur's and got his working, so I may have just done something stupid on the SEUS ones that I did correctly on Sildur's.

Be warned, for those playing Banished, the world does not have bedrock at the bottom, just a layer of extremely hard stone. The portable red hole from Aura Cascade will blow through this, losing itself to the void. The good news is that when I fell into the void, I was teleported to my bed instead of dying.

Isn't that a bit ironic, though? The whole point of 'babys first spacerace' is to make it a newbie friendly experience. Dropping your items on death is not newbie friendly.

Anyways, I cannot remember for sure, but cheats may be on by default, so keepInventory should be touchable. However, I think OpenBlocks graves will take over after that. If you want your stuff to fling around on the ground, you will have to shut that off too. Edit: Also while you're at it, you might go nibble on the infernal mobs config. I had disabled some of the stats I considered to be obnoxious, so it should be pretty safe to bump the spawn chances overall for a few shenanigans.

Glory of Arioch posted:also i found a hungry node, was happy, then i read the page about them in the thaumonomicon Does this mean no more open crate feeding a million crafting tables to a hungry node? A few interesting things I discovered regarding hungry nodes and turning them into centivis on the Disasterpiece Theater 1.7.10 server: (1) even as it breaks the stabilizers, if you replace them quickly, no stabilizer progress seems to be lost (2) a Botania magnet ring is stronger than the hungry node pull, which means you just need two each of the top and bottom pieces. Node breaks one, replace it and pick up the other. Repeat. (3) For a hungry node with sufficient starting vis (1600+), it will convert to centivis before the aspects completely drain. I think they drained to about 800 before it converted. (4) Oh, and Blood Magic transposer can teleport a hungry node anywhere you like. Use an upgraded one and put a block of obsidian between the transposer and the node so it doesn't eat the teleporter. (5) If you're standing on a solid surface, you can slowly move away from the hungry node. Especially if you have a roof. The hungry node only does damage to you if it can toss you above itself so you can actually stand 'in' the node without taking damage. This might be incorrect since I was wearing ProjectE gem armor at the time and I based 'taking damage' on hearing the damage sound.

Ive been watching my son play more of his TC5. He found some device that looks like a turret, but instead it pulls nodes towards it. So about 25 minutes later he has this massive clusterfuck of spawned mobs and nodes that he is oblitorating with the primal focus. Good thing you cant destroy nodes now by punching them? He needs a wand with more storage though. Doesnt quite grasp that the wand is using charge and recharges slowly.

The main problem with doing that, however, is that the hungry node will suck in aura of every type. Sure, you can send flux to one, but won't you also be passively letting it suck up other types of aura? I guess that isn't a problem if there are infinite sources of aura and you can just keep up with the node's consumption or keep other aura types away from it.
