I generally use the builder's wand or there is also a block placer that builds walls of cable, also i wonder has anyone tried using the Drawbridge to place cables?

Light Gun Man posted:Builder's wand is only really useful if you want to make a line of cable right next to existing cable, although maybe it would be slightly faster than finding the right hover spot for ender IO. Not sure what the other block placer you're talking about is, but I'd love to hear about it. Thinking about it i think it was a spell in Ars magika or thaumcraft or something like that. All i remember was having to put a lot of blocks in my inventory and it would place down a 3 high wall

Light Gun Man posted:This reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask. I remember at some point in modded minecraft, I could hold shift and hover over items with the mouse to move things to or from crafting/inventory, and it was very convenient. I don't seem to be able to do that any more, although shift clicking, spacebar, middle click to sort etc all still work. Was that a feature of something that isn't common anymore, or something I have to enable in a config or something? Well, you can't shift click into a crafting bench as which slot should it go into? they do have left click and drag to even out, right click and drag to place one of each

Thats the other way of doing it, With my pack (MorePower II ) I have tinkers + iguana Flint - use until it levels up and gets another slot + random boost. keep using until head levels up then you can get level +1 Swap out head and relevel rinse repeat Every time i level a pick i get Fortune, Speed, Autorepair and the one i hate - Auto smelting Edit: sometimes i do get durability but its usually fortune (if not I add fortune)

They are easy, Turbines + Fuel + Storage + controller + input port + flux output pump fuel of some kind in, Usually I find some oil gusher and pump that into a refinery to make fuel, (bio fuel also works) Pump into the generator and you have power

Ghostlight posted:So I got back into Minecraft, breezed through Baby's First Space Race (well, until it broke), and picked up OMP-I to fiddle with. I found a really nice walled village (I quit playing before villages, so it was really cool) with a tower next to it that seems to lead directly to hell. I've got some kind of haybale golem next door that seems to poo poo skeletons and giant zombies and some poo poo brown lake that I think poisoned me when I fell in it, but I'm excited to try and renovate this tower/town as a castle base long-term project. There's a whole bunch of magic stuff mods I've never seen before, and I wandered into an area that made me start tripping balls, so I thought I'd best ask if there's any particular gotchas I should be aware of or if I'm good to just blindly forge ahead with landscaping and rebuilding this area to be nicer looking and not so gravel filled. There is a spawner under the haybale so if you have cardboard boxes you can box up that spawner and re-use it for mob drops and XP

Vib Rib posted:One of the only things I can think of that activates the smeltery but never smelts down is most types of dense stone. Stone tool heads, for instance, take 1 degree of heat more than a smeltery can reach, so it just sits in there at "almost done" status and eats up lava, never turning into liquid seared stone. I guess that's so you can't smelt seared stone at an accelerated rate, you have to do it 1 cobble at a time. Otherwise you could just make a bunch of stone hammer heads and smelt 8x as much cobblestone at once. Metal Blocks never seem to melt either, you need to split blocks into ingots to make them melt.

Enzer posted:There was a ton of internal changes to 1.8 including how rendering works and what rendering methods were valid to use. 1.8 uses a very strict rendering method which makes implementing some mods not possible, for example the carpenters block mod, according to its dev, is not possible without certain rendering options so he can't update to 1.8 (if this is actually true, I'm unsure, it might be possible but could be incredibly time consuming). Well Pixelmonmod has upgraded to 1.8 and apart from some complaints from the model makers about the new format it has all been possible. the one we are not looking forward to is the 1.9 upgrade as it will require knowledge of the new rendering system they are putting in (to improve rendering and make it less laggy) Ho Hum, Back to Battle code....

Well that is the bone of contention, AE2 introduced meteors which is what you found, and you need to find 4 presses (logic, calculation, engineer and silicon) these are what are needed to make Processors. however once you have them you can make storage, it ends up being like Star Trek Replicators, you put stuff in and can pull it out whenever you want. I always make a crafting terminal as you just shift click the ? on the NEI recipe and it will auto fill the slots from the ME system (Matter-Energy) instantly building whatever you wanted.. Imagine large chest that autosorts the items. Its worth it but the meteor thing is the pain at the start

I think it should just work as is, but it depends on how the reactor will distribute steam to multiple turbines. If it puts even (or close to) amounts into all turbines. If it puts all steam into one until full, then the second, I'll have to do some steam routing via limiting flow into separate turbines. Either way, it should be fairly easy. to implement well enough You know you can make cyanite, Yellorium + sand in a crafting table - instant stacks of Cyanite...

It's mostly just that people can't be bothered to read the book properly (which is fair enough, it's wordy as poo poo) and miss the part about mixing whatever it is to create the life essence. On the server i am playing on (Crackpack from AT Launcher) I was just kicked out of the base i was sharing with someone else, I logged on to find i had no perms in the claim and a sign placed down saying "I dont want thaum in my base, all your thaum stuff is outside to the right in a chest, this is why i don't base with anyone, bye" So my ender quarry, other machines, ores and stuff and all the stuff i brought to the base is now his (including all the mob spawners and reactor stuff.) and I have had to start again. Why are so many people scared of Thaum? I mean i have since heard that his base was covered in Flux and taint as he broke the Energised Nodes spilling flux everywhere. As for ars, you have an obelisk next to the altar, then use the magicians staff (or whatever its called) to link the obelisk to the altar, then flip the switch when you need it for the recipe.

It just mentions in the quest book that some of it is bullshit, and then gives you all the presses and some of the intermediate gunk. My issue was that there is not a universal simplification for the presses and processors. I had to assume people would play a pack afterwards that did not have everything. I think it was me, I play on a server and was told that all meteors had been cleared and raided, followed my rules with the compass, first small meteor gave me calculation press second about 100m away gave me logic, silicon, engineering press and about 200 skystone

Goncyn posted:I have to disagree with this. It's not the channels that really put me off, it's the incredibly complex crafting tree. Look at any item that actually does something -- take the ME Storage Bus, example. ME Storage Bus < ME Interface < Formation Core + Annihilation Core < Fluix Dust (grown then ground) + Logic Processor < Printed Logic Circuit + Printed Silicon (both inscribed). That's more than five combination steps using four different crafting methods. I realize that it's meant to all be automated eventually, but you still have to do it manually for a while until you have a system built, and that means I have to constantly refer to NEI or the wiki to remember what I'm doing. Contrast that with a mod like Ender IO in which machines are mostly two steps: you craft a machine frame, then you craft the machine, both in the crafting table. The fluix doesnt have to be grown, the grown one is the PURE fluix, - you do have to make it but its quicker. i have an automated inscriber using hoppers and item conduit. but most packs I have played recently has Steve's Machine Manager which allows you to fully automate creation of stuff meaning you can set up auto crafting. @acnerain: It starts off as an easy storage and becomes an amazing processing system, imagine you start with a room that is Jet black, with a green terminal on the far wall. you open the terminal and desire a Couple of tessaracts, you click on them in the gui, and it asks how many do you want. you select 2 and press go. In the distance you hear lots of machine noises and suddenly you have your 2 Tessaracts ready for use. That is the point of it, making the task of making items a non task allowing you to concentrate on harnessing the power of the elements, whilst trying to avoid the Eldritch Guardians and bouts of Thaumoriah... On another note if a mod could look up on NEI/Recipes and assign a value to each block, so a recipe for something needs x points, I think EE had the right idea just not set properly. Make manually an item, put it in a scanner, That is now known, Put stuff into the main system it gets turned into energy. you want an item no making sub items just if it has been scanned its now available example - i make a ludicrite block, scan it now i put 2 million cobble into the system and can pull out ludicrite blocks if i have enough points. Damaged armor etc goes in - and gets turned into energy. lost your imbued sword not a problem just pull another out based on the template you scanned That is how to do Matter energy transfer

Vib Rib posted:ProjectE, formerly Equivalent Exchange, is this exactly. Every item has a value -- cobblestone and dirt are 1. Iron is like 256. Diamonds are 8,192. After you've obtained an item and used the tablet to "learn" it, you can burn up any item into its raw cost and pull out whatever it was you needed. Dump in 128 full stacks of cobblestone and you could grab yourself a diamond, or vice versa. It's super convenient but basically overrides every other mod once you get it, which is why it's probably best having it as a true endgame thing. I did mention EE in my post, but i hate how you need one of x to get another one, sounds like projectE is going more as I would want it. (so like a star trek replicator as it can only make stuff you have scanned into the library

You don't have to worry about taint unless you accidentally get too close to a cave, and you can seal off tainted tunnels with a 3-thick wall. I gave up on caves early on in blightfall, there's just not enough in them to make all the taint damage and the bloody taintacles worth it. one thing i discovered recently is that WATER clears taintacles so you could just drop a bucket to clear the area then pick back up move on and drop again

TheresaJayne posted:I'll get right on it seriously i already had thoughts about it, It will be a frame that you have special colored buttons on to select the different destinations (still trying to determine how to fully do this without needing a complex gui - colored wool blocks like enderchests will not work as what if someone else chooses the same code ? I have an idea but it will be fleshed out as I go along. First each Teleport Frame Block will have to be made (and it will not be cheap) Heisenberg Compensator = An Emerald surrounded by ghast tears in the corner and diamonds in the centers Zero point module = Heisenberg compensators round a Nether Star Pattern Buffer = Diamonds round a ZPM (this has the 3 wool blocks for the address) Teleport Block ZPM middle Heisenberg Compensator Bottom middle Surrounded by wool Teleport Blocks can be dyed by dyes to allow coding. so make a frame with 16 blocks and buttons on each block. to activate dial the 3 color code for your destination or you can just make a 3 wide 4 high block and use that as the smallest (less available codes 9 codes rather than 16) when you dial the center activates loading the world/chunk the destination is in, and then if i can work out how to do it - shows you the view out of the portal at the other side (that will be the technically hard bit - i mean portal had to custom write that part of their system Thoughts?

I hate gregtech but with only 16 ^3 combinations and some people using more than one it needs to be expensive Maybe the first thought was too expensive the idea is that you have multiple blocks that are used, based on Star Trek Tech you should have a power source, pattern buffer, heisenberg compensator. The recipies can be tweaked. The idea is a frame with colors that you attach buttons to, activate in the correct order (button on the controller to reset) so, activation would be Red Red Green, Portal opens, walk through Portal disables or push reset to turn off or times out after a minute (to stop people using them to load chunks)
