Magneticraft isn't as useless as I thought. You can connect a thermopile up to a capacitor or something using magneticraft connectors and get about 20 RF/t out of it if it's using lava and snow and the wire is as short as possible.

Okay, my maximum canola farm is feeding two compression dynamos, one hardened one signalum. That seems to be exactly the limit of passive production from one farm, so that's about 700 RF/t. Not bad, but... well, turns out tree oil is twice as energy-rich as refined canola, and the infrastructure takes up way less space-- or at least, horizontally it does. I wonder if it's possible to automate production of crystalized canola oil? edit: yes it is, though a bit messy... McFrugal fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Jul 19, 2018 |

I'm looking for some advice on mod-packs. I've not played since 1.4.* with Technic by KakerMix (2012?) and want to get back into the game. There's so many packs and no doubt 95% of them are total garbage, is there an approved not-poo poo pack i can try?

So some friends of mine and I are playing Sevtech and we just got to age 4. Looking at the progression, one of the ender utilities ingots needs shulker shells to make. Is there a way to farm these at all? I read that shulkers don't respawn once they're killed, and while I can use ender utilities to capture one or two for pearls, I don't know how to get shells without killign them.

Okay so I'm progressing through Futurepack now and I ran into a problem. The Redstone Cable research won't complete. I put in 8 redstone and 2 cable and the redstone's progress bar fills up but the cable's does not.

Playing through Blightfall, what is the throughput on a mana fluxfield? Will it take as much as I can shoot at it and pass that to a tesseract or do I need to split it up into multiple fluxfields?

Okay let me get something straight. Support points in Futurepack are only generated via machines that autocraft, while they work? The e-reader is a bit vague about it. It looks like the opti bench is the first machine that generates support points, and can't be used to manually craft anything. edit: Also apparently Exchangers cannot be used to harvest misty cobblestone to make furnaces because "force drop items mode" does *not* turn off silk touch. Why are furnaces the most annoying thing to craft now? McFrugal fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Jul 23, 2018 |

Gotta have furnaces require 64 stacks of cobblestone to make cause that's totally hard and stuff and all the cool kids are doing it so we gotta do it too and artificial difficulty and tedium and stuff.

Put two opti benches next to each other and install in both of them whatever chipset that lets them auto-output. Make them perform a crafting loop, like crafting ash into ash blocks and then back into 4 ash. Enjoy infinite SP over time. As a bonus, the inputs in the opti-benches will slowly dupe themselves over and over, because lol bad mod.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:Others mentioned no limit, but you will find yourself constrained by how many spreaders you can shoot at it. So you will likely inevitably make another. I was just worried that it would take a new mana burst as soon as there was any room in the internal rf buffer so would be wasting a whole burst for 1 rf. I don't know how fast it dumps it into the adjacent tesseract so it might not be a problem at all if it never has anything in its buffer. We can't seem to get our reactor to self sufficiency with mining lasers pulling in new yellorium, not sure at what size that finally happens. Trying to keep it as efficient as possible and pull most of the weight with a bunch of gourmaryllis until then.

Tesseracts have a pretty large internal buffer don't they? The fluxfield will be happy to waste mana if it can't push RF though. If you were using a cell adjacent to the fluxfield it'd be a bigger problem.

I haven't used it, since I stopped playing Exoria almost immediately, so this is just an outsider's perspective but Futurepack seems really bad, based on all the posts in this thread.

I don't know how fast it dumps it into the adjacent tesseract so it might not be a problem at all if it never has anything in its buffer. Your worries are founded -- the fluxfield (really, all things that receive mana from spreaders) will happily request and waste a full mana burst to fill 1 mana or 1 RF in its internal buffer. You want to use a comparator on your energy storage to shut off the spreaders when you hit signal strength 13 or 14.

I don't know how fast it dumps it into the adjacent tesseract so it might not be a problem at all if it never has anything in its buffer. I don't know about you but I managed to find by hand enough yellorium to fuel a small reactor effectively forever, just running an AE2 system and a small selection of TE machines. I feel like if you're trying to do tech in Blightfall like you might in other tech-focused packs with everything automated by tech, you're in for a bad time. A mana fluxfield will definitely accept all the mana bursts at once as soon as what it's connected to requires 1 rf though. McFrugal posted:Tesseracts have a pretty large internal buffer don't they? The fluxfield will be happy to waste mana if it can't push RF though. If you were using a cell adjacent to the fluxfield it'd be a bigger problem. Tesseracts have no internal buffer, you might be thinking of Mekanism Entangloporters.

Okay I got sick of waiting upwards of 10 minutes for Futurepack research to complete without even knowing if it was a required research or not, so I found the command to instantly get all research. "/fp research @p unlock all" You're welcome. OOOOR you can modify the fp.cfg file to massively reduce the research costs. I'd put everything to 0.1 except for Energy which I'd put at 0.01.

It wasn't obvious to me at first but you're expected to build a shitload of calculation modules to speed things up, and use network cable to connect them. I thought they would only affect the time column so I ignored them. Turns out they speed up the energy column as well. I basically stopped playing Exoria after I completed Futurepack. The satellite stuff that follows it relies heavily on making a lot of Futurepack chips and cores and quantanium and I've had enough of that.

Seriously, of all the big packs this thread's talked about in the past, I think I've only truly finished like 2-3. Most of the others I get to the last few questlines and just can't push on. Even Blightfall I never technically beat because moving the Dawn Machine around this enormous landmass to hit every single block of corruption would've bored me to tears even if it wasn't a total pain in the rear end to move. Then there's the countless others that dip into Avaritia or expect stacks upon stacks of refined products just to have them, some even before the "bonus" creative questlines most packs cram in. Are people afraid of an actual conclusion in their endgame? Do they want to imagine people will play their pack into infinity and always need more to do? Endings can be satisfying!

Exoria was unique in that what caused me to drop it wasn't an Avaritia-style slogfest, but a combat challenge. I just couldn't be arsed to finish out the last quest, which is "beat Voidcraft."

It's less that the energy costs are obscene and more that the energy module can only consume so much energy per tick without calculator modules. Besides, once you unlock the RF -> futurepack energy thinger, energy is no longer a concern.

You can get pixie dust from murdering pixies in the Exoria dimension. The ones that are a flying cube, not the fairy torture ones or the astral sorcery flares. You can also make a woot farm for pixies. It's level 1, IIRC.
