Hooplah posted:tbh you dont need the nitrogen to get some returns. the whole thing is energy positive converting the liquid byproducts into benzene and burning that. that's what i did until i could get my n2 setup routed into it. Well, you can't get Charcoal Byproducts themselves without nitrogen. You can, however, get Wood Tar without nitrogen, and between distilling the wood tar from the pyrolyse oven into Benzene, as well as fluid extracting the charcoal output into more wood tar, you can easily net power. I set up my pyrolyse setup in MV and while I did convert it to a quadruple distillation tower setup mulching Charcoal Byproducts instead of just the Wood Tar, it still powers a significant portion of my base.

sorry, when i said byproducts i was shorthanding it for wood tar, forgot that was actually a thing. distilling wood tar and burning the benzene produces net energy for the oven.

Gwyneth, what are you using for power in IV? From your screenshots it looks like you just throw a nuclear reactor down by your big machines (EBFs, etc.)?

I have like five nukes right now, plus some auxiliary benzene power. I'm looking to set up a fluid nuke some point soon, but it takes an absolute fuckton of titanium for all the pieces. I need a large heat exchanger, plus 6 large steam turbines (3 high pressure and 3 regular.) If I did my math right, that'll output a total of 30,420 EU/t, or 3.7 amps of IV power with this reactor design:  (it also needs a source of distilled water and IC2 coolant, but that's quite a bit cheaper to set up.)

SynthesisAlpha posted:So Hydrogen isn't as useful unless you're making fuel from oil. Oxygen gets used in huge quantities for things like the arc furnace or making steel in the Electric Blast Furnace. Electrolyzing also consumes a TON of power (because hydrogen can be used to generate power it needs to be net negative).

What's the EV/IV power storage solution? For HV and before batteries were fairly easy to make, but it looks like I need Sunnarium for EV. Is there anything hidden that I'm missing as an alternative?

You can also make a Power Substation in IV, which is a huge power storage device (just not portable as it's a multiblock.)

BlondRobin posted:For what it’s worth the only way to speed up the rate at which essentia moves from the furnace to an alembic (any alembic, more alembic won’t speed it up) is using Alumentum as fuel. For this reason I used to create infinite Alumentum to run my essentia burners, though I haven’t in my own GTNH run since they tripled the cost of the conversion and made it harder to get charcoal. What got me on this track was stuff like this: https://imgur.com/a/PlqCN ...where they are stuffing bellows on buffers for some reason. So I had a notion that I could draw the essentia more quickly with them if I introduced some buffers and bellows. It doesn't seem too straightforward. I guess the advanced alchemical furnace is the thing that might do this faster, but I'm anticipating the recipe for that to be especially nasty in GT:NH. I'm trying to get way ahead on AE2 in the pack and start hooking up everything. Doing that with some ergonomics and aesthetics is going to eat up a ton of cable. At this point, I have a complete flow from a cobblestone generator to the furnace to get vitreus and I'm trying to lean into it. There's always the old thing of making more than one furnace and going parallel instead, but I'd rather do some clever buffer/bellows thing if it will be faster.

FTB Interactions is based around a version of the GregTech mod, which is notorious for its difficulty and grind. It's sort of like Angel/Bob's for Factorio. A gentler introduction to modded Minecraft is something like Break Out.

queeb posted:as someone who knows nothing about minecraft modding but lovesd factorio and all that, is the FTB interactions pack a good way to get started? If you're coming off Factorio, Omnifactory would be a much more straightforward and familiar experience, which I highly recommend, as it's both robust and has tons of quests and guidance to get you through it. It's much more focused on perpetual automation and getting there early to create self sufficient factories. That said, as has already been pointed out, neither is a very good intro to modded Minecraft in general, largely because they require a lot of interim crafting and some familiarity with involved systems. But they might be worth working up to down the line.

Have you tried taking the materials out and putting them back in again? Reforming the structure by taking a brick out? Do you have enough warp that Warp Theory is placing blocks in random locations?

It's probably the furnace being across chunk boundaries. I had the same thing happen to me. Also, zinc is a very light tan, almost white but not quite. I don't think you can find the ore blocks for it yet, just as a byproduct.

It's a tertiary ore spawn in Sulfur veins in the Nether. Pulverize the ore, hammer it, wash it, then either smelt directly for zinc ingots or process otherwise (centrifuge, I think) for zinc, sulfur, and 25% small gallium.

You'll need a little bit of gallium for quests so you should definitely centrifuge some of it.

In our GT:NH game, I suddenly had water blocks disappearing, netherrack disappeared, cobblestone turning to gravel, gravel to sand, sand to nothing, and lava to cobble. I thought it was some crazy warp effect but I don't see such listed in Thaumcraft nor the extra warps mod the pack has. Pollution sounded similar. I measured something like 400,000 gibbl which seems to be too low for sour/acid rain or whatever. It eventually stopped when I went a hundred blocks out and back. What the heck could that have been? Edit: I guess it is some Gregtech effect. I also expect McFrugal to come smashing into the wall to vent on this particular topic. I didn't even know it was a thing going on since I don't remember seeing a prompt for it like the other effects that come up.

How high is your warp? If you have 50 Warp that's high enough for the Decay effect, which does everything you described as well as destroying plant life. Acceleration does something like a reverse of that? Warp Theory is absolutely the worst part about GTNH. You have to avoid warp as much as humanly possible until you reach like IV or something where you have enough tech to make the items which remove permanent warp. If your warp gets too high before then, you're going to have to get some form of autocrafting purifying salts, because otherwise your base starts getting destroyed by things like Decay or worse. Warp Theory is one of the worst minecraft mods in existence. You know how in TC4 it was eventually updated so that warp effects stop occurring if you don't do anything warp-related? Warp Theory never changed to match that behavior, and almost all of its effects are far worse than vanilla warp effects. Like five or six of them have the potential for you to grief other players just by standing near them. Like, by summoning Withers, or destroying blocks, or placing blocks randomly (the Swamp effect does this), or scrambling chests... In short, just edit the config and set this line: code:McFrugal fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Apr 27, 2021 |

I found the config. I don't want to just disable everything. Well, I really like my lonely creepers. They're very cute. Is there anything typical in 1.7.10 for detecting if an item is damaged? I'd like to outright trash anything that's damaged but I can't think of anything in the normal ecosystem. I also don't think Integrated Dynamics ever was made for 1.7.10. If it was, it certainly isn't in GT:NH. Edit: I guess OpenComputers has something, but I haven't really looked into it.

Specifically the MultiMC dev edition does FTB. Not sure if regular version does yet. Though it can still be finicky. Took me like 6 tries to get the latest DW20 for 1.16. Finally I tried renaming rather than leaving it as it was and then it finally worked.
