Wait what? The pocket edition was always C++, wasn't it? And even the UWP based Windows 10 app is C++, not C#.
Unless I am really mistaken here.

So I've built my FTB Infinity Evolved base in an RFTools dimension and I need around 1300 rf/t to keep it running.

What I want to do is to have a completely independent power source powering it in the overworld that will never require any maintenance or input from me (so no deletable fuel, etc.) so I can just leave it and never think about it again.

What would be the best way to go about that? I was thinking solar panels, but any panel good enough to put out that amount of power is not just expensive to craft but ridiculously fiddly and time consuming without an autocrafter set up. They also have the limitation of only generating power during the day. I also thought of a tree farm but I'd rather not go that route cause it can cause lag.

Any ideas?

Mr Scumbag posted:

I've just spent the night doing what I can to make the lightning rod a viable overall power source, but it doesn't seem like a good bet. It's great for powering a few dimensions, for sure, but the limited output of 4096RF seems to be a total dealbreaker, even with 9 of them running together. They can't power my currently very modest base as well as my badass ender quarry without losing power in the buffer.

I thought that the lightning rod was super nerfed after an update a few months back.

How is RF power working without any of the CoFH stuff anyways?

Anything that uses the default crafting grid for crafting rather than their own special unique snowflake grid like a certain cooking mod is greatly benefitted from MFR's liquicrafter, which runs on a redstone clock for crafting actions, so makes it easier to automate things that need milk, water, so on.

As for crafting that doesn't need liquids, all the brainless auto crafting things are all basically versions of TE's cyclic assembler, take power and recipie and make it every so often, some of them have multiple slots so you can use it for more than one thing. If you're not going to go nuts with things like computercraft, I'd suggest using TE's fetching servers, which you can add limits to how much it'll fetch, so your system will never clog.

Just planters/harvesters have that issue. Sewers can if their effective radii overlap. I don't know if those issues still apply, but they're easy enough to work around, regardless.

OgNar posted:

Is that why all of my maps degenerate soon after I start to automate?
Because I use MFR extensively. And tend to stack farms in one chunk to keep less chunks loaded.

Speaking of, as my 2nd tier power gen I usually use a tree farm using the saplings in a forestry fermenter/still for ethanol and wood/charcoal into steam dynamos. But I seem to be getting jack for saplings this go. Anyone have a good layout for a tree farm? I am thinking either 2x2 dirt/slab squares or 2 dirt/2 slab rows might work.
For next time.

Another good trick is to set up a buncha various machines you can manually input poo poo into but that will output into your AE system. Know you're gonna need a buncha silver dust for Enderium down the line? Drop a few stacks of silver ingots into the chest feeding a pulverizer whose outputs all go back into the same "all outputs into the ME" itemduct system.

A further step is making it look pretty but that's purely subjective. Some people don't mind the cobblestone aesthetic and exposed conduits going every which way. (Those people are WRONG!)

SF3 doesn't really need Agricraft. You can get all the different seeds through mixing / nature essence, and if you want to speed up crop growth look into a Growth Crystal mk2 from Actually Additions. It is so stupidly fast that an Enderio farming station can't keep up with a 7x7 plot.

McFrugal posted:

Looks like that'll be useful for filling empty spaces more than actually storing things. Though it'd be amusing for that to be the only storage solution in a pack, haha.

Doesn't Storage Drawers have packing tape that you can use to move drawers?

Dareon posted:

I've found I got kind of used to being able to generate all the resources I needed with bees, and now I just groan when I realize I need to go mining again. The problem is, I don't want to spend hours breeding bees. Mystical Agriculture looks promising, but I'm also a little iffy on mods adding several new resources I need to go mine. Would someone mind giving me a rundown on it, how hard it is to start up, and if it plays well with Agricraft?

just force people to learn ipv6 and assign everyone a a subnet like a /150. But that isn't minecraft moding enough so ipx or appletalk!

TriggerHappy posted:

I can't figure out how to get Refined Storage auto crafting to work. I have a crafter pointing into the top of a furnace, with a pattern I encoded in the Processing Pattern Encoder. I have an importer on the bottom of the furnace to pull out the results, and and exporter in the back inserting coal blocks. When I request a craft of glass (or anything) the job shows up in the Crafting Monitor with "No Machine Found".

I was able to get auto crafting working fine with solderers, but the furnace just refuses to work. I've also tried Alloy Smelters and vanilla furnaces. Anyone have any ideas?

Side view.


Pattern.

I do recall crashing that server when I found a bug to quicky reproduce magical crop seeds by ramming one with a piston accelerated by lilypads of fertility. I had run out of capacity for seeds and the rest were just laying out everywhere and killing the server with lag.

with Excompressum I believe this is for the skins it puts on the little players inside it's machines. I have no idea what beyond is doing. I don't want to look

If the skin bothers you, rename it with a name tag and it will choose the skin for that player.

Here's an odd request: Anyone know of a good modpack (preferably 1.7.10) that starts you near a structure that's fairly well made/good for exploring, or a decent world for doing just that?

I ask because I'm having some buddies over in a few hours to experience the Vive for the first time, and Minecraft is still one of the best ways to demonstrate a sense of physical presence and scale. Using Vivecraft for this, so pretty much anything will do -- looks like my old saves are gone, though, and I'm on the clock right now.

Just to let people know: a new fork/iteration/whatever-you-want-to-call-it of Ex Nihilo has been released for 1.12.

And it actually has built-in autosifting!

Yep. The original FTB came out before command blocks, so the beast was actually a giant mechanical computer built from redpower logic.

If one wished to gate access to Mekanism behind Immersive Engineering, the obvious thing would be to make Osmium unobtainable until significant progress has been made within IE. The only vector I can think of for that is the Excavator, but drilling for core samples has potential to be tedious and very not fun if the mineral deposit RNG isn’t in your favor.

Any other ideas of ways to gate Osmium? Also, I don’t want to use Game Stages, I want to set up natural roadblocks and progression paths.

Wooden crucibles don't need heat. All they do is "melt" saplings and leaves into water, no other inputs necessary. You're thinking of the crucible made from porcelain clay that you use for lava. That one you do need a torch for.

Ah man I love SkyResources2. It's 100% better than Ex Nihilo in my opinion - or at the very least, I really enjoy the core concept of 'it upgrades over time and gets less tedious', which Ex Nihilo just...you automate it, and you can build a bunch of it and that's it. SR2 has issues, but I really enjoy the core loops a ton better than EN.

Edit: also if anyone else is having problems with moving items with the scroll wheel go to Mod Options, search for "Simple Inventory sorting", click config and disable "Mouse-wheel movement". There are 2 mods that add mouse wheel movement and turning this one off solves the conflict.

Rutibex posted:

There is also Custom Stuff 4, which lets you make custom furnaces and crafting tables with their own separate recipes. You can't really tie it into other mods power systems, but thats basically all you need to make a custom "machine". The furnaces don't need to be powered by typical combustibles, you can make them burn batteries or Xg-5 crystals or whatever you come up with:

I figured I'd ask before I tried: Is there a way to dump all EMC values from ProjectE? Follow-up, is there something similar without necessarily using ProjectE?

I'd like to use something like EMC values as a basis for sales costs for NPC trades.

A friend of mine is in the hospital and feeling real restless, pondered about getting into modded Minecraft. She hasn't played in a few years so it would be neat to see the various new things without dumping a pile of bullshit on her lap. Any packs that showcase cool newish mods without going into the weeds of progression? Without being the lagfest that are kitchen sink packs?
