My bad, what I meant was the shape of the turbine given the same number of blades/steam/coils/etc. I found out that the shape and dimensions don't matter except with regard to building costs: http://ftbwiki.org/Big_Reactors/Highest_Power_Data#Optimal_Unattended_Enderium_Designs

Need help with a rannuncarpus. I know it needs a block underneath the block it sits on. I know it will then place items ontop of blocks that have the same block under it. Mine refuses to plant stuff. However, a creeper from nowhere blew my up under the base while i was trying to figure this all out and all of a sudden my block-type inventory was then placed all the gently caress over my cobble stone floor. (I had a piece of cobblestone under it at this time. So it was planting DIRECTLY on top of the given block. When i put a piece of dirt under it, it would plant my trees where-ever dirt appeared. So if i harvested a pumpkin, in the place where the pumpkin was (which was now a dirt block, not a grass block) a sapling would be planted. There are no other blocks underneath anything, defintely not pumpkins. My plan was to surround my farm with stone, then make sure the planting places cant become grass blocks, but i now have sheep all over, and pumpkins. In the youtube vids they always use 2 layers of pozdil as you can plant tress on that. I dont have that, and cant get it. Any ideas how to get this flower working ?

There are colored soil types made with colored pasture seeds; look up the pasture seeds section of the Lexica Botania. You can also make Podzol with a special pasture seed. You'll need a silk touch shovel to mine the podzol or colored grass. Alternatively, yeah, you can surround the work area of the rannucarpus with stone or other non-plantable blocks. Use the manaseer's monocle to ascertain the range of the rannucarpus.

Any mods that make the nether less inhospitable (like have their own ores for crafting and stuff)? I was thinking about playing a game where the entire map is the nether. Is there a seed for an all nether worldmap?

Natura is the main mod that enables survival in the Nether, as it lets you make a furnace out of netherrack among other nether-themed basic recipes, and it adds nether trees you can make tools out of. Biomes o Plenty introduces a biome that allows for vegetation- the Undergarden. Overgrown Netherrack in the Undergarden works like grass so you can bonemeal it to get tall grass to break for seeds. Nether Ores introduces ore into the Nether. One thing to remember is that farms do not explicitly require water, so you CAN farm in the nether, either on Overgrown Netherrack(I think?) or on actual dirt. You can get dirt by breaking some of the BoP blocks. To enforce an all-nether overworld you'll need some way to alter worldgen. You can't just give Minecraft a seed.

I believe the Aqueous Accumulator can have its config set to basically produce water for free, albeit at a very slow rate. This and a sprinkler could probably water dirt for farms, or whatever else. Sugarcane is a bit of a problem though. But there are other ways to produce paper.

Optimally I would've had Magical Crops in there and some fancy recipe to make the obsidian for the portal. I guess any modpack like that would have to run with Natura but not BoP. The only food sources left in the nether at that point are imp flesh and glowing mushroom soup. ...maybe a recipe to make dirt out of Natura's nether tree leaves? Still can't get seeds though.

I might look into coloured grass once i find how to make silk touch. I just got my tree farm working and starting to get a little bit of mana now without babysitting every thing. I may try to automate an orechid next though. But i need lava and my spawn in the nether is really bad :/

Glory of Arioch posted:no That makes sense. The target block has a variable y axis. Ive got it working ok now that i have moved stuff around. Though one of my bore lens mana spreaders stops working unless i have a constant stream on mana coming in. Which is weird as the pools are semi full at times. Putting a muchdew has solved that problem. My next problem is slimeballs. How am i going to get slimes to spawn in a gog? I have 2 blaze rods, so i can make a catalyst to change between cactus/slime (which is exactly what ill do so i can have cactus growing). I need the slime for summer runes, to make exo things to power my furnances. I have an automated orechid up and running. Had to turn it off because i dont need mountains of redstone :/

Nether Ores will wind up placing less ore than normal while BoP is active because BoP replaces a lot of netherrack with other blocks.

Anyone have a good guide to renewably generating all the essentia for Blightfall's dawn machine? Edit so there's something more interesting: Played through Blightfall again, this time focusing on magic. Most of my previous work was all tech so this was a first to get deep into botania and thaumcraft and it was a ton of fun. Thaumcraft especially has some neat stuff you can do with things like the centrifuge - for example you can repair drat near everything using the Thaumic Restorer, which you can power using Instrumentum, which is really hard to get...but Fabrico isn't (4 per crafting table), and Fabrico spins into humanus and instrumentum in the centrifuge, so even a simple tree farm suddenly means you have infinite use of all your items given enough time . I might go try out building a 1.8 pack next. Falcon2001 fucked around with this message at 20:54 on May 6, 2016 |

Falcon2001 posted:Anyone have a good guide to renewably generating all the essentia for Blightfall's dawn machine? I can't remember all the essentia myself, but I can remember getting just about everything I needed from farming this stuff down into essentia: 1. Mobs--particularly for gold stuff Thaumcraft adds (lucrum?). It was nice to also melt down spare weapons and armors. 2. A wisp farm provided everything. They were not really sufficient for the dawn machine unless you refined everything, but it was useful to get compound essentias you needed for infusion. 3. A cow ranching rig for milk. 4. An inverted tree farm for a bloodwood was really good for metallum. Metallum was essential for alchemy--in particular for making gold. Arbor was a nice bonus. 5. A cobblestone generator getting pulverized into sand and smelted into glass for vitreum. That was important for making lots of certus. 6. A general-purpose farm handling sugar cane, cotton, barley, and nether wart. 7. An aqueous accumulator for water so I could get agua. Sometimes you just need more of it, but one could often cook down other essentia to get it. I had banks upon banks of refineries breaking down stuff into other stuff, and voiding excess primal essentia. It was at that point I declared myself done with the game, because I could be bothered moving the dawn machine around and babying it. I tried to do something with AE2 spatial storage to migrate it, but it wouldn't move everything. I think the idea was to make an airship, but it was buggy as hell.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:I can't remember all the essentia myself, but I can remember getting just about everything I needed from farming this stuff down into essentia: Thanks! That all seems like a good list. I just got myself a euclidaisy so that'll help eliminate some of the crazy auram requirements, and I've been using Hydroangea mana towers (well, anti-towers since I dug them into big pits) for power gen. Actually really enjoying those - I haven't done a ton with Botania before so it was nice to dive into it. Are there any good 1.8 modpacks or is everyone still hammering it together themselves?

I seem to remember I got most of the essences I needed to run the dawn machine from wool and buttons. I think I may have a screenshot somewhere. e:  Seems like I was pretty poo poo at taking screenshots, but I think that's breaking down pannus and fabrico from wool into the essences I used a lot of, and then downstairs was cobblestone -> button -> machina. You don't need the same amount of all the essences, and some you can mostly do without. Wolfsbane fucked around with this message at 00:13 on May 7, 2016 |

I did a rubber tree farm for the ordo - double smelt the rubber and make plastic sheets. I had a wisp farm for aurum Rancher-boiler for sano I think i made buttons for machina? cant remember (had a golem workbench for that somewhere i think) bowls for vacuos (so the tree farm is pretty important) Think i skipped aer because it slowed everything down too much, too big an area.

Meskhenet posted:Basic tree farm for arbor, trim some leaves for herba too. Nice. I wish I hadn't moved into the swamp instead of mushroom island this time around, running a bit out of room now. Maybe I'll build a platform over to the eastern island now that I'm clearing it off and have some more room. On the other hand this is by far the farthest I ever got. Using the airship from the floating city and just stuck the dawn machine on there, although I might rework it so it's a bit more drivable.

Oh, I found another Nether-related mod. Pam's Harvest the Nether. It adds trees and Nether Gardens to the nether. I think it adds other plants too. Glowleaf or something. Edit: HAHAHA there's a bee that turns nodes into Hungry nodes! Better make sure any nearby nodes are encased in obsidian before you try to crossbreed for the bee! Better yet don't put that apiary anywhere near any nodes until you have the desired bee. At that point it'll require a nearby node before the queen does anything, anyway.

If you just want a kitchen sink 'throw all the mods ever in a blender and see what foul mess rises to the top' pack then you should go try out the FTB Infinity Evolved pack on the FTB launcher...On the other hand if you want something more structured there's quite a few packs for that including Blightfall on the Technic Launcher.
