It sounds like you only had as much power production as your conduits are capable of but that's not actually how conduits work. They can transmit any amount of power through them. Energy Conduits power input is per blockspace input and power output is per output face.  As far as IV power its up to 8192 EU/t, 4x as much as EV. RF converts to EU at 4:1 so a signalum numi is probably outputting about 800 EU/t depending on what augments you have in it (I can't remember how many slots signalum is). So an EBF pulling its max input from an single IV input is about 10 numis. So about half your total generation capacity so unless the rest of your base so no wonder it blacked you out. I've heard after numis the next step is generally plasma turbines from fusion. I just setup some diesel multiblock generators because my nitrodiesel storage was full and I felt like it but the discord says that's really kind of a sidegrade to just stamping out more numis. A multiblock diesel will put out 6144 EU/t if you give it oxygen too which isn't too bad but they need robust petrochem.

Yeah, you’re at a pain point until you get oxygen plasma fusion up and running. I’ve seen people do large complex fission reactors with active cooling but that seemed like too much hassle to me.

Anyone got a rec for a good shader/texture replacement mod that I can just chuck in and keep playing on the non-modded server I'm currently on? Making the game look a bit fancier would be fun.

So really i should just add more numis :/ At sign level they are putting out up to 12,500 RF so 3,125 EU. SO i need 3 upgraded numis per IV power input. I think i might need to just carve out another massive room and make about 100 of these things :/ (and expand my loot fab/simu), or look into plasma

I had something like 50 numis before I had to switch to fission reactors. I think I overdid the fission reactors because I skipped fusion power. I still needed to make fusion reactors for exotic materials but I never took plasma to turbines. Ultimately, I did make a few of those Mk2 naquadah reactors in the end game while I was trying to get to creative power. Edit: I don't think you can completely skip a fission reactor because you need various byproducts for the end game, but you can make a lovely breeder reactor that just kind of mauls thorium and then just reprocess the output to get all the other stuff.

It’s me - I’m the Thorium Mauler. I am now ramping up production to build 15 T8 micro miners so I can baby-step my way to sufficient Neutronium to make Chaotic injectors…. I must say it’s pretty empowering when I can single-click schedule hundreds of crystal matrix plates. Watching the system chew up several hundred thousand diamonds in a few seconds is baller.

Ok ill get to those at some point. The T3 miner. option 1 is exquis diamonds and ruby, emerald, and some token ore. option 2 is pretty much tungsten , some sapphire and certus ore. Do i need any of that stuff? Im getting my tungsten from endstone, so while ive set up all my crafting recs for the t3 miner, im thinking of just bee lining to t4

Eventually you'll need exquisite diamonds towards the end game. I think it was the diamonds in particular. You could munch down the rubies too (always grabbing around for spare poo poo in end game). I don't remember mauling the emeralds though. I think sapphire also had an interesting end-game demand. I guess, in other words, no, you don't need any of that stuff--right now.

I just got my first T9 miner. I am thrilled to be able to advise you that you need something on the order of 50k exquisite diamonds and you should automate their retrieval as soon as feasible. You also need absurd amounts of dilithium and wither realm data, so bank that poo poo. Now that I have my T9, I calculate I need to send 10 more T8s for the mats to make a T10, to say nothing of the omnium. The end is nigh though. That neutronium slog was rough.

Does the pack have any tools for enchanting armor more easily than vanilla? Even vanilla isn't too bad once you get it rolling. I played for a while on a Vanilla+ Server (serverside mods only, it was playable with a vanilla client) and an important part of gearing up on that server to fight some of the customized boss mobs (who did crazy poo poo just teleblind and rooting you and so on) was getting set up in diamond armor with maxed out Protection enchants, cause Prot IV on all four pieces of gear gives you a second layer of 64% damage reduction that stacks multiplicatively with your regular armor reduction - a full 20 armor and Prot IV on everything gives you ~93% damage reduction and will take that death in three hits to death in 9-10 hits. The "ey just go enchant gear!" tooltip is kind of unhelpful but is also technically good advice MonkeyforaHead posted:Okay, coming back to this, I found The New Guy ran a length of Tom's Storage cables a few hundred blocks long/deep to a terminal at a strip mining operation so he could just offload everything back to his central vault via long distance. Oh boy. It's... not really a second network, but it is reaching several chunks away to send items. I'm not sure how likely it is that this is the culprit, and if I should just remove a couple cable pieces to sever the connection for testing performance or if I should gut the whole line to be sure.

Yeah, it has Ars Nouveau, which has a full separate enchanting mechanism that bypasses the table and bookshelves. You can also use it to cast defensive/restorative spells *and* it doubles as a really good offensive source; IME a lot of my issues with combat in RW2 were abated when I really started sinking my teeth into Ars Nouveau. Oh, and Reflective enemies. gently caress every source of "your damage is reflected back at you" that has ever existed in video games. I swear the overwhelming majority of my deaths in RW2 were firing a mass AoE nuke into a room and blowing up instantly because it tagged a boss monster with Reflective.

Double checked, this is the right thread !!! So nomifactory, How do i deal with fluid storage? I wanted to use 5 quantum chests on a fluid interface (AE2) hoping it would push/pull but it didnt. (and boy do i wish i was on a server. Ive set up a draw for annelled copper wire, 16x 8x, 4x, 2x, 1x, but only have enough o2 for 1 EBF, god its been so slow. And that needs to fill before i can grind it for powder and automate signulum) And auto packet crafting. is there a way to open the packets after they are crafted? Yes i stuffed up. I set a stack of t3 miners to auto craft. EVERY PACKAGE was set to process, not craft. So i have all the mats for a stack of t3 miners stored away in packages that dont actually do anything. (im tempted to bin those and just magic in a stack, but then im never going to learn how to use this thing)

You can right click the packages to get all the stuff out of them. I had to do that a few times in the end game when automation would jam up for some reason. I am kind of puzzled by one EBF eating all your oxygen. I was having to dump excess oxygen early in the process. Or maybe that was a side effect of my fluid storage . . . . . . so speaking of fluid storage, I would just dedicate a cell to each fluid I seemed to need by partitioning it. Slap the cell in a workbench and put the new fluid in every square. This is kind of obnoxious but a common approach. I think second-best we're fluid storage buses set to specific fluids. Either way, you will have to vent excess side products to ensure the primary output still gets produced with the machines jamming up. I had electrolysis going on but I feel like plenty of other crap was making GBS threads out oxygen constantly. Ores in particular have a pile of oxides in them. I cannot remember specifically but I would not be surprised if all my wood processing didn't poo poo out oxygen too.

I think they may have fixed it but look for a materials-positive sodium -> sodium hydroxide -> sodium infinite loop which produces oxygen. Cryodistillation for noble gasses shits out a ton of nitrogen and oxygen if you are doing enough to get noble gasses at anything but a trickle.

Yeah, that's fair. I definitely feel like combat was the weakest part of RW2 other than the very finale - that is, trying to make the Creative items without an easy in-road like Nomi's creative tank - but I never felt like I didn't have options, only that the options possibly weren't sufficient for the bullshit I was facing. Like Reflective mobs, there's no way around those just deciding "you die today, gg bitch", especially if you've tooled your Ars spells to do enormous damage and have the charm that adds a percentile damage bonus for every kill you've ever scored. If I was gonna replay RW2 I'd find some way to remove that modifier specifically from the pool of options. Nothing else, even infested, caused me as much annoyance as Reflective.

Between that, cryogenic air distillation, and electrolyzing water to get hydrogen, I have more oxygen than I know what to do with. Also, PackagedAuto pisses me off. It always manages to eat/"lose" one of my packages if I multicraft anything, and some kind of bug basically lost the packages for 120 LuV Emitters before I realized it's only a 7-slot recipe and I can just use regular-rear end AE processing crafting for it.

Yeah there's some goofiness with PackagedAuto that gives me some Skinner Box vibes. That is, if you manage to learn the magic song and dance that gives you the treat of it working, it'll be perfectly fine, but you wouldn't be able to say what changed. It just managed to teach you its peculiar way through trial and error. They were jamming up on me all the time up until right at the final quest when they always just worked. I would often see a pile of clogged up package crafting if I cancelled a job. The problem was that I'd usually be cancelling a job that had jammed, and I wouldn't be able to tell you if it was because of package crafting. So I never was able to tell exactly what was cause and effect. LtSmash posted:You don't need to fill every space. Partitioning locks it to only take what's in the squares not locking each fraction of the cell to use what's in a square. Huh, so I could have just high-fived one of the squares and called it a day? That's a lot more convenient because the GUI really bogs down as I painted in the fluid.

I found packageauto breaking/hanging jobs was always, ALWAYS related to me forgetting to enable blocking mode on my interfaces somewhere (generally deep in the dependency tree). The main end-game culprits were my microuniverse projectors which took me half a dozen hours of failed/stalled jobs to find, which were broken both because I forgot to enable blocking mode (which I didn't catch because it didn't matter for half the game because I wasn't trying to sequentially put different types of microminers in) and also I didn't have a large enough import/export block for the end-game recipes. You may think you lost recipes but I assure you they are sitting SOMEWHERE in some unpackager because of no valid destination from a clogged input bus.

And im at EV now (i think) and more tempted to just remake a new line of machines oncve i figure out what stopped because i no longer have access to it. And i will double check to see if it was a fluid storage bus or an interface. Is there any thing at all that uses nitrogen? i think i have a 10 slot ME drive with 10 64k fluid carts just for N

So... I'm getting the itch again and wouldn't mind advice on what pack to play. I'm mostly looking for a pack with guided questing and an emphasis on progression. I'm not so big on exploration or very esoteric systems, though some is fine. Nor am I opposed to magic systems though I like at least some tech progression as well. I remember playing some pack, I think it might have been Sevtech ages, where it kept sending me all over the map to find weird resources, and doing things like building totems and dancing around them playing drums to advance, that was just too out there for me. Which is a pity, because I like the tech ages concept and gating to open up new mods, but I mostly want to build stuff. I played Omnifactory (90% sure) and that was probably the furthest I got in a pack, but I ended up dropping it when performance was dropping and I realized something about my spaghetti bowl setup of pipes and AE had broken and was now generating resources from nothing. I probably should have gone through with plans to rebuild everything as a space station with a better setup but that was when I got bored. I also played was I think was Gregtech New Horizons, it was sold to me as a harder but more up to date Omnifactory, and it was too brutally hard for me. I probably could have survived with just the progression difficulty but getting my rear end handed to me constantly by mobs on top of it was too much. And of course Blightfall was awesome but I follow this thread enough to be under the impression there's no real successor that quite captures the charm. Of the ones I've played, I'm most likely to return to Omnifactory and hope there's a better performing/less buggy version now. I see people talking about Nomifactory, but don't really know how that compares with other packs? It might be what I'm looking for. Also, suggestions for other packs are welcome, I'm not exactly well versed about what's out there.

Hello everyone, long time no see. I'm stepping back in to modpack creation, and *wow* has curseforge made that process way easier. I no longer have to run a CI/CD pipeline to create modpacks, yay! (Though there is something to be said for making the barrier of entry complicated, I also see there are a bajillion modpacks on curseforge) At any rate, I've created a 1.18.2 modpack to dip my toes back in to the process, and fired up a server for it once my release is Approved by the moderators at curseforge (which I'll post about over in PGS). It's pretty streamlined, only 95 mods, primarily tech-focused but has some fun stuff like infernal mobs and twilight forest and... ProjectE.
