FTB has beef with Mekanism and the UE mods. They've never really let it go and often exclude it from packs and make up lies about it. That's likely why he's in no rush to get it out on the curse platform. At one point Mekanism could indeed be pretty lovely, but it has been server friendly for a while and only a few things are actually broken if you don't change the recipes (jet pack/digital miner/the mining thing whose name escapes me).

if you wanted to minmax big reactors the best way was actually 3 layers of cryotheum and a single outer layer of enderium e.g.: http://br.sidoh.org/#reactor-design...C8O5C8O5C8O5E4O

Did turbines ever get any sort of automation interface other than Computercraft? I think I could do something to automate running a turbine, the problem is that I don't know how to code in LUA, and don't want to learn how to code or download someone else's control program that's way too complicated for the kind of poo poo I want to do. I think I could do it with some simple, brute force, yes/no redstone gates and a bunch of pistons and redstone blocks to basically be RS latches, but that assumes that the redstone output ports for turbines exist like they do for the reactors.

Okay there seems to be some misinformation going around about taint, so here's the downlow: 1) Fibrous Taint cannot spread onto transparent blocks like glass and fences and ladders, but WILL spread onto the opaque sides of slabs and stairs. 2) Fibrous Taint does NOT go through walls. It spreads through corners(spreading diagonally) and can skip blocks vertically, but not horizontally, similar to how Grass blocks spread. A fenced off area clear of fibrous taint will stay that way unless there's a Tainted node near it. Fenced off with only fences, of course. Other transparent blocks will work too. 3) Tainted nodes spread fibrous taint and change the biome directly and do not care about y-level. 4) Fibrous Taint itself will change the biome to Tainted Lands. This is the primary method by which Tainted Lands spread. Underground Fibrous Taint will be a thorn in your side when you start clearing up an area. 5) Sufficiently elevated structures will stay clear of Fibrous Taint, even in the Tainted Land biome. If you make a ladder for access, be sure the taint can't spread onto your support column! 6) In Blightfall specifically, your dome is not completely secure, unless it's Omega. Since there are unsealed corners in the glass dome and the Pure node does not aggressively clean the borders of its territory there will occasionally be bits of fibrous taint at the corners of your dome. Keep livestock away from these spots, or put down more blocks yourself to keep out the taint. I've heard of Fibrous Taint being spontaneously generated in Tainted Land areas which have no Tainted Nodes nearby, but I don't know for sure why it happens. It seems to be restricted to the surface and might only happen if there's no Fibrous Taint near that column of blocks or within a certain radius. Kind of like a way to prevent just bombing the surface to remove the effects of the biome? McFrugal fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Nov 28, 2016 |

Honestly, there isn't much reason to automate turbines. Turbines work best when you bring them up to speed and keep them there. This requires constant fuel burn, and manually tweaking the flow rates until you get a 900 or 1800 RPM. (The exact numbers are slightly lower for the optimal point, but I can't remember them off-hand. I want to say 1988 mB/t is the sweet spot for 37 Enderium coil blocks.) Bringing a turbine up to speed, even with the clutch, takes a long time, and isn't conducive to opportunistic starting and stopping like a passive reactor is.

This pack got brought up in the Steam thread; it looks pretty impressive, but I haven't tried it yet myself. Has anyone given this a shot yet?Captain Invictus posted:Yep, oftentimes comedy falls flat when you're really, really down. While not something on Steam(of course), in regards to that, when I went through some...bad poo poo, I had just installed the Minecraft: Life In The Woods modpack. It adds thousands of new items, recipes, foods, buffs, animals and monsters, and over a hundred new biomes to the game, as well as more robust villages and villagers with quests and poo poo. It is absolutely less about building absurd machines to automate everything, and more about exploring, farming, and building. If you have a good PC, it also has an optional shader pack that adds dynamic lighting, shadows, water, etc and makes the game look just really great. I put hundreds of hours into it, it really helped me out during a particularly rough time.

That's another reason why I've come to prefer Mekanism's turbine over BR's: no need to keep it at an RPM sweet spot or face your efficiency tanking. Turn it on and off as you like. Also unless you tell it to dump excess steam it can't use any more than it needs, so if power is at max the steam just sits there. Generally the better option is 'When power is <x%, produce steam; stop producing steam when power is >y%.' Black Pants fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Nov 28, 2016 |

No. The reactors themselves have ports to interact with Computercraft, RedNet, and Redstone, but the turbines are Computercraft or bust. Gwyneth Palpate posted:Honestly, there isn't much reason to automate turbines. I know, but I wouldn't want to do a lot of starting and stopping. What I'd do is use plain old redstone to set it up so that if the turbine gets to the lower end of optimal speed, start adding steam (where the steam comes from is another problem, but I already solved it). When it gets to the upper end of optimal speed, stop adding steam. There would be another set of controls to telling it when to engage and disengage the coils: when power gets below X% engage them, when it gets above Y% disengage them. The net result of this simple set of instructions is that the turbine stays at or near the proper speed and provides power when I need it, without using up all of my steam. There's Computercraft programs to do this, but like I said: way overkill for what I want to do. I'd just throw my hands up and use Mekanism turbines instead, but those have no redstone controls at all that I can see. I'd have to rely exclusively on "give it steam/don't give it steam." The short version of where the steam comes from is "use the same 'if below X start, if above Y stop" to make steam, store it in an AE2/Refined Storage system or something, pump it in using aforementioned controls."

There's Computercraft programs to do this, but like I said: way overkill for what I want to do. Yeah, that sort of setup isn't really optimal or practical with BigReactors turbines. I just tweak the control rods in the reactor and the flow rate on the turbine (or turbines) manually until I get equilibrium. The problem with being clever like that is if a reactor isn't outputting all of its steam, it happily retains all of its heat. This causes the temperature to climb, which wrecks your fuel efficiency. You also can't use the clutch to "turn off" the turbine effectively; it'll absolutely stop it from generating power, but engaging the clutch causes the turbine's RPM ceiling to increase, which can throw you out of the sweet spot. Turbines really are designed to operate best when you can just operate them continuously and with carefully calibrated flow rates and control rod insertion. Passive reactors, on the other hand, don't have these problems. They aren't as fuel efficient, but instead of taking minutes to recover from being off, they take about a second. A clever design I saw used an MFR rednet thingie to dynamically increase the insertion of fuel rods matching the reactor's internal power buffer, causing a natural equilibrium to emerge based solely on power requirements.

A clever design I saw used an MFR rednet thingie to dynamically increase the insertion of fuel rods matching the reactor's internal power buffer, causing a natural equilibrium to emerge based solely on power requirements. This is really really easy to do, and it's what I do. You just put two RedNet ports (which are Big Reactors blocks) on the side of your reactor somewhere. Connect them RedNet cabling, then futz around with the settings on the ports until your logic is basically: Stored Power Percentage -> Control Rod Insertion This will continuously read your power percentage and adjust your fuel rod insertion to match. If your buffer is at 100%, the rods go in 100% and no fuel is used. If your buffer is at 0%, the rods go back to 0% and you crank at full power. If you're at 50% buffer, the rods go in 50% and your power is reduced some. It won't be as efficient as finding a sweet spot and using big power storage options, but it's nice for being able to leave it alone and not waste power if your base isn't using anything.

President Ark posted:sounds neat, lemme scroll up for more info on- ME^NE is definitely about turning MC into something like Factorio. It flings resources like quarries and that at you right away and you're supposed to setup a big quarry instead of running around mining by hand, and anything you want to make you want to setup a workflow to make. It's not a traditional setup but I don't think it's gregtech grindy, it's more like a totally different type of game. I really enjoy it honestly just because it does feel really different, so I suggest that folks that really like the automation side of Minecraft check it out for sure. Edit: Inserters are frickin' great and allow for a lot of the fun automation systems and are relatively cheap in this pack.

Something seriously weird happened in my Project Ozone 2 game. I had prepared myself to kill the Draconic Evolution chaos guardian (I had full draconic armor, soul bound all my stuff, set waypoint in case I die etc.), and with 30 lives I wasn't too concerned if it killed me. Well anyway I went in, the dragon flew through me and I got spammed by 'You have died. You now have xx lives left' for 1-2 seconds until I had no lives left and it closed and deleted my game  I didn't even die, I was still alive with full health/shield, it just said I did until I had no lives left. I have a backup file from a few hours earlier but I'd rather first find out if this is a known thing before I try that again. edit: Ovenmaster fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Nov 30, 2016 |

Quick review of the Roots mod that we were checking out on the Progress test server: The manual and basic gameplay seems pretty well thought out and adds some interesting items (a way to create Wither skeletons with rare drops from nether wort is helpful). You need a basic farming setup to get started in the mod. A lot of the spells seem to have great utility and might combine in interesting ways with other mods. On the surface it seems like a promising combination between the rituals from Witchery, the wand focuses from Thaumcraft and the minibosses from Botania. There's also an Otherworld in development which seems a bit like the Witchery spirit world. Unfortunately we weren't able to get very far with the mod. You get a client crash when trying to do any summons, which are required to advance. The server also got taken down by several different crashes in the mod (ender pearl throwing now crashes for some reason, and trying to move the mod's multiblock totems will also take down the server hard.) While reading the source code I found a couple backdoors that the authors coded in. That's pretty much the last straw for me with this mod. Of course, on raising the issue with them, it's not a big deal. Minecraft modding.

When you said 'backdoor' i was expecting more than 'creative flight and immobilizing players in the extremely unlikely event that the developer is both a: on your server and b: has an item you can only get via admin commands'. I feel like it's pretty harmless, since if you gave them access to the admin console then that's nothing. There's similar crap in ExtraUtils iirc.
