When I started building a mystcraft tower to move that whole system out of my house's library (for lack of anything better to do), I figured the blue bricks looked neat enough to use in the construction. With a couple quarries that have dug about 30 holes in a flat plain, I figured I had enough. Except that 4 blocks of lapis per 8 bricks is a bit ridiculous and I quickly ran out. I had to manually mine for the first time in a long while! Outer second layer is complete, but I want to add a third, smaller section. It's my most expensive building yet! Also, my meat factory conveyor belt is terrible for baby piggies. I had to rip it out and replace it with a fall and Chronotyper because they would not separate from the belt edge properly and somehow slipped out into the floor proper. And my Vet station pipe refill system is a terrible kludge of an autarch gate always running and diamond pipes to send full syringes back into it. I think I have to experiment with PRC a little, so that it'll delay pulling items out by at least the idle period of the machine if the inventory is full.

Pidmon posted:Few Skyden questions: 1. According to a couple cheat sheets, your best bet would be to use chiseled stone bricks (the square looking ones); it has 1 Carus (goblet) and 1 Saxum (stone). I'm not sure you have the easy recipe to convert normal stone bricks to chiseled; I think the EE3 stone should do it, though. Smooth sandstone is an alternative but since this is a sky map I don't think you have easy access to a replenishing source. 2. It's a tier below diamond but above iron in terms of defense/damage. Enchantments may turn the balance, I don't know, I never really experimented with them. I would suggest using diamond/ruby still. Get a bow and lots of arrows for the first half of the fight; he's like a faster moving ghast. Recommend building an arena to make things easier. 3. Don't know, never played. Someone else will chip in, I imagine!

Quick question for the Tekkit maintainers, is there any chance of it getting updated to the latest mod versions? I'd *really* love to burn lasers into the core of the world for rare ores (to the point where I've built the platform). If not, no big deal. The structure still looks pretty sweet.

I think I'll dedicate a Mystcraft world (ooh, bonus points if I can find/create a Void if it's not too concerned about actual bedrock) for an array because I've got a lot of power without a whole lot of use and more than one in the same place seems a bit cluttered.

Perfectly happy with that change if that's the case; flux just spawned tons of wisps and maybe a couple environmental effects once in a blue moon with no way of reducing it.

Yonic Symbolism posted:Also is there a way to make some kind of timer with the slaughterhouse or other machines in order to make a automatic animal farm that only slaughters animals every so often instead of all at once. Make a pen 5x5 in size so that your breeder works optimally, then on one of the other sides stick a powered Chronotyper to pull the babies out of that pen. Now, babies are finicky little bastards that want to stay as close to their parents as possible and because of this having them on the same z-level will result in a handful being able to vibrate their way through the wall and back into the breeding pen. This is Not A Good Thing, so to prevent that have the Chronotyper pull them into a pit, doesn't have to be too deep but just enough so that you can dig underneath the breeding pen. The children will congregate there, so it's a simple matter of having a Slaughterhouse there to kill the adults when they grow up (Slaughterhouses don't kill babies).

I solved this issue in 1.5.2 by having the Chronotyper drop babies into a pit that had space underneath the breeding pen. They're quite content congregating directly underneath their parents, making it easy for the Grinder to kill off the grown up kids. I'm currently dicking around with crafty turtles to transmute dirt into gravel and then into clay for automatic processing into bricks. I guess I could do the same thing with cobble as a parallel line. And I guess I could expand into performing a similar trick with my large excess of jungle logs to eventually turn them into diamonds. Oh hey, I guess I could go whole hog and transmute dirt to diamonds if I wanted to (dirt->gravel->clay~>clay blocks->iron ingot->gold ingot->diamond) but I have a greater need for construction material at the moment over diamonds. (Reason why turtles is that they don't damage minium stones while they're crafting with them) And then I'll get my bank of auto processor machines shoved into the basement linked to a Logistics Pipe system I've been kicking around for a while. Once they're out of workshop proper I can dedicate the walls to be banks upon banks of AE Monitors to go with my AE system and DSU extreme storage wall. And I *still* need to prettify the Mystcraft tower up. And restock the 'meat' factory. And create a void Mystcraft book to shove an array of MFR Lasers in (or try it in lower earth orbit instead, hmm...). And...and...and...

So I mentioned I was playing around with a couple of ideas recently. Let's recount,quote:I'm currently dicking around with crafty turtles to transmute dirt into gravel and then into clay for automatic processing into bricks. I wrote two iterations of the script and it works out pretty nicely, gaining me ~500 bricks. Problem is the turtles stopped their programs when I came back. Mind you I was in my mining Mystcraft book when I logged out so the overworld chunk with them might not have loaded when I came back (single player). Whatever, next iteration will have them re-orient to their supply chests on start up if and when I come back to this idea. quote:And then I'll get my bank of auto processor machines shoved into the basement linked to a Logistics Pipe system I've been kicking around for a while. Once they're out of workshop proper I can dedicate the walls to be banks upon banks of AE Monitors to go with my AE system and DSU extreme storage wall. This has happened, over the course of a couple re-designs and finding out that Logistics Pipes only connect to one machine at a time. It's not the neatest solution since I'm flooding the pipes with the items (particularly my huge backlog of wood) instead of figuring out how to get the AE system and Logistics Pipes talking with each other, but it's cool to see the flow moving about. There's a significant hit to my FPS, unfortunately. I left a couple Induction Smelters, Pulverizer, Powered Smelter and a bank of Magma Crucible-Liquid Transposer pairs above since they weren't doing auto-processing but crafting. I did shove them a block closer to the wall so the power cables aren't visible and threw in an initial set of monitors to see how it would look once expanded upon. Workshop looks a lot less cluttered! quote:And I *still* need to prettify the Mystcraft tower up. And restock the 'meat' factory. And create a void Mystcraft book to shove an array of MFR Lasers in (or try it in lower earth orbit instead, hmm...). Initial efforts on the tower was basically adding a couple stacks of bookcases to the walls. There needs to be more but I want to add something to break up that monotony. Haven't figured out what yet. Restocking worked a little too well. Somehow banjaxed the breeding Chronotyper so that the babies stayed in the pen instead of falling down to the slaughter floor, they grew up and I guess the cascade ate up my entire carrot supply. I had to wholesale slaughter about 20 pigs, some of which managed to find their way above ground and outside! But I've got a full tank stack ready to be processed into 'meat.' Just a matter of flipping the switch. No Mystcrafting. The interface sucks and I've been reluctant to put together a stable world again. Also no LEO mining either. I'll try to get pictures up once I get back to that computer.

I have an interface connected like that, but it didn't move anything from the AE network into the pipes. Same with a provider module hooked into the ender chest that contained the output of my quarries. The ender chest works with an extractor pulling everything into the pipe system which is my messy solution.

Maybe I'll go buy a minecraft server from Akliz or some such and dev up a stock ticker system that interfaces with ME (somehow). I think it comes down to if you can get OpenCCSensors to read a ME Access Terminal directly for the types of blocks you want to track. If not, then it's going to be a lot more complex and limited in scope (ie. setting up a bunch of chests/DSUs holding the items instead).

Alkydere posted:Alright, I have a quick question about AE. If I set up a long crafting chain, generally something that requires waiting for something to be cooked/pulverized like making a bunch of processor chips, the computer system will cancel the process midway through. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have a sneaking suspicion it's because my AE is sharing furnaces and pulverizers with the auto-processing output of my laser drill, so sometimes the furnace ends up occupied with something like nether quartz. Of course my hunch doesn't explain stuff like the system hanging when I'm asking it to use minium stones to make ink sacs or other dye from lapis and bonemeal, that's just lots of basic crafting. If you go into another dimension (Dimensional Doors, Mystcraft books, Space/Moon), it will stop crafting. If you make a change to the AE network (by a dark cable getting a redstone signal, or adding/removing a cable/interface/bus/etc), it will stop crafting. If you go far enough away from the chunk with your network and you don't have it chunk loaded, it will stop crafting.

How full is your storage? Not sure on the behaviour when it tries to craft and there's no space for the result in the AE network, but it might be worth looking into.

fondue posted:I'm beginning to think it's stable and will post something official here about the pack on Friday if it stays that way. I've been playing recently and when you yanked out the coral mod I was forced to move from my little workshop on the shores of a lake. The pockets of air that now exist at the bottom is enough to spawn hostile mobs, which then float to the surface like they were Deep Ones. It's not fun to have skeletons at all hours just bobbing about nearby, waiting for me to come to my farm and then start sniping. Or creepers. Or zombies coming up to knock on my door. Infernal mobs combined with that just made it worse. As I was in the process of moving everything out to a nice hobbit hill I found nearby, I wasn't caring too much about my health or food levels. Thus as I opened the door and walked out I was smote by a bolt of lightning that killed me instantly. Since it set me on fire the items I was carrying (mostly Tinker's patterns and casts) were all destroyed too. I'm not blaming your mod pack at all for this. My current place is a hell of a lot more nicer/spacious to boot! Oh, also heads up trying to see spawners/Nether portal with your Thaumometer seems to crash the game.

I really hate Thaumcraft's compound elements requiring you to either memorize the drat sequence from primal onward or keep backing out, consult the 'Nomicon and then do the next step. Say you want Auram, which is a fairly difficult element to obtain in sufficient numbers. It breaks down to Praecantito and Aer. - Praecantito is Potentia and Vacuos - Potentia is Ignis and Ordos - Vacuos is Aer and Perditio And it's not even the worst compound element. Instrumentum is a huge pain in the rear end to alchemize. - Instrumentum = Humanus and Metallum - Humanus = Bestia + Cognito - Bestia = Motus + Victus - Cognito = Terra + Spiritus - Motus = Aer + Ordo - Spiritus = Victus + Mortuus - Mortuus = Victus + Perditio - Victusx3 = Aqua + Terra Building from primal is not fun. It needs almost the reverse of the Deconstruction table, something that slowly condenses elements dumped into it to the highest compound it could take.

Don't worry, when it comes to my houses and decorations I'm in the same boat. But as soon as you add functionality requirements (like 'I need a wall of autocrafting machinery to process a couple quarries worth of blocks' or 'I want a central location for mystcraft books and portals') then it becomes a lot easier to design something pretty. In Tekkit, I've got a largish house with a chest and a bed still on dirt, but the second story is where I've got my enchanting altar and first library so the effort's gone all into there. Workshop sort of started as a rectangular enclosed area with a couple windows but as soon as I got the initial workings on the AE system it expanded one side with a really nice sloping roof and skylights because I needed a safe place for TE machines and MFR deep storage.

Well sure, BC/TE is a good start but if you're looking for MOAR POWAR  then you're at a material baseline that can sustain experimentation. An array of magmatics powered from the Nether lava fields are all fine and dandy, but then you'll never know the glory that is MFR bio-reactors, giant steam boilers or...arrays of hydrogen/heat generators. Yeah, Mekanism isn't all that great for power generation. It's probably the closely associated to IC2 in terms of how power gets generated (solar, wind, etc), but to get to that point takes more machines than it really should with the base mod recipes.

Also not all mods, particularly those that have their own crafting blocks, use NEI.

And another deeper point, having the baby pen directly underneath the adult one will reduce pathing attempts even further. Since the babies will try to stick near the adult as much as possible, if they cannot directly path to them they're quite content to be as close as possible, so they'll crowd in roughly the middle of your lower pen instead of to one side. dijon du jour posted:Augh why didn't I think of this sooner.
