mensrea posted:A lot of the really complicated tech mods wouldn't be so bad if crafting didn't necessarily involve dragging and dropping things onto a 3x3 grid. It was a long time ago, but I remember a mod that added a crafting bench that didn't require that tedium. Basically, the mod's bench looked at what you had in your inventory and showed on a GUI all the things you could make with it. Then, all you did was click on the thing and get it, no dragging and dropping. Well... these days there's Avaritia, though obviously it's a rather silly implementation.

There's a couple different designs for fission reactors in there too (haven't really messed with the mod, so further knowledge on my end is limited).

I wish I hadn't been dumping that poo poo into the trash until now. I'd just make a liquid fueled boiler and pump the creosote directly in. On my regrowth map, I used 10 coke ovens to fuel a 2x2x2 HP boiler full time. I am not sure what mod pack you're playing, but if you have Botania, you can run it resource neutral using the duplication catalyst and a field of endoflames fed by the outputted coal coke to dupe coal.

Hay Taffer, I have the solution to your power generation needs! Make everybody use TNT generators: I'm making it an end-level quest in BFSR, so lolmer, someday you are probably going to want to kill your kids if they play with speakers. Just about everything in that picture makes noise!

Before this I was using creosote to cook cobblestone and coal ore and still regularly disassembled my coke ovens because I couldn't use it quickly enough. I really don't want to go from my current 4 coke ovens to like 10 or so because it's hard enough dealing with all that poo poo already. I'm really hoping better power generation comes up soon. StealthArcher posted:Terraria's method of crafting is better anyway. Honestly, removing shaped crafting means bypassing one of the biggest mod problems there is: relying on every recipe to be unique. This means you could totally remove intermediary processed items and just say "okay, this costs 24 iron, 6 gold, 2 pearls, 40 stone, one blaze rod, and a feather". No crafting an iron matrix, pearlified gold, and condensed stone furnaces first. Just take all the components you'd need and change the recipe to a single step. Minecraft's shaped crafting is obviously never going away because it's so iconic at this point but it's not something you can really learn by experimenting. Explaining how it works to a totally new player usually leaves them a little confused, and while basic tools and a handful of things like buckets and boats might elicit a response of "oh that's cool", there are plenty of recipes that are nowhere near as intuitive (TNT, for instance), or combos that you'd never guess (fermented spider eye, eye of ender, etc), and there's a huge portion of the game you'd never even see if you didn't have the wiki open at all times.

All the tools and stuff. If you want to see it all in nei there is a config for it in one of the 8 gregtech config files. It might lag you out because it's like 500 pages of stuff.

Two questions: 1. Is there an optimization pack that works in tandem with forge-essentials? Apparently in 1.7.10, it will die with FastCraft. Will CoFHTweaks work? 2. Does blutonium turn 1:1 into cyanite when spent? I am trying to understand how far fuel reprocessing goes. I personally never bothered since I had laser drills going on faster than I could feed my reactors. However, I'd log on to my server game and find my buddy slapped one in. I don't know the details of reprocessing--just that cyanite processes 1:1, so it will eventually decay to nothing.

E: Which means you get infinitely close to 2 bars worth of fuel out of every bar of yellorite you put in, since blutonium also turns into cyanite 1:1.

Another way to look at it is that a stack of yellorite ore put through a pulveriser gives you 128 crafting ingots, but 255 ingots when used as fuel (128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1), meaning big reactors are even more efficient than they first seem. e: curse you

This was without forge essentials, and the reports were from people with a diverse mix of computers (some crappy, some good). The game just locked up a few minutes into play and crashed without even generating a crash report. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it makes the game unplayable for the people it does happen to. I only figured out that it was related to fastcraft because it happened on my laptop (but not once on my desktop), and I narrowed it down to fastcraft through process of elimination. A crafting system that only requires basic inputs would be great. Have a block that you click on to bring up a GUI with a list of all the things you can make. Select The Thing and a list of all the raw materials you need to make The Thing pops up, as well as countdown timers, energy requirements, and so on if The Thing calls for it. Bonus points if the block can check for the presence of other specific blocks in it's vicinity. Say, a 7x7x5 area. If The Thing needs a plate bending machine or whatever to be built, and a plate bending machine isn't in the area, you can't make The Thing. It's do-able, but a mod like that would take a lot of work.

Sounds like it might have been a mod interaction in your case. Fastcraft is in a lot of very high-profile packs with probably hundreds of thousands of users without systemic problems. At this point probably the only mod used more than fastcraft is invtweaks or ironchests.

Second post. Im trying to build a reactor, but i think ive stuffed up already. I was going for a 5x5x5, but then i looked online and that seemed to be the internals, making the case 7x7. ATM my reactor (unbuilt) is 7x7 and 5 tall. Do i need to make the case 2 blocks taller? so that the case is 7x7x7 and the internal is 5x5x5? (i have my digital miner up and running and it sucked my entire capacitator storage banks dry, so i have the stuff to build it (well maybe not the ender, but the website is telling my gelled cry something will be better anyhow) And to automate it to best efficiency, 2 rednet ports or what?

Meskhenet posted:Second post. The height isn't really important; a tall reactor just consumes more fuel and outputs more energy. I actually like 1 block reactors (3 including casing.) The "optimal" design for a reactor is like so: http://br.sidoh.org/#reactor-design...C8O3C8O3C8O3E4O . The trick is mostly in how the coolant works -- you want 3 layers of gelid cryotheum in every cardinal direction, then a single outer layer of resonant ender. The center block can be more cryotheum or even a graphite block; it makes almost no difference. You could also build this more than 1 tall if you wanted. As far as automation goes, if you have computercraft, use https://github.com/sandalle/minecraft_bigreactor_control . If not, 2 redstone ports work great -- have one output when the reactor is full, and run a lead from that into another redstone port which shuts off the reactor if the signal is high. This is super crude and will waste fuel on reactor warmup/core irradiation, but it's easy.
