Also start using forestry worktables asap!! you won't have to memorize where the parts of a piston or motor go, and it will use whatever tools are available (most of the time)

Actually the devs changed things around so you don't use the avaritia crafting table to build rockets- now you use the nasa workbench, which, among a bunch of other machinery/circuits, requires 6 nether star plates! much easier but you'll still probably prefer going with thaumcraft for the stars.

Threw in my vote for disabling it, seeing as I already disabled it locally due to the latest patch. i'm a little annoyed the conversation seems to be entirely centered around servers with no regard to how the changes affect SP worlds. a mechanic invented for your server performance shouldn't be punishing my single player world's infrastructure.

I'm not sure that's a very good idea unless it's very ad hoc and easy to set up. At the beginning of HV, you still have some big recipe upgrades ahead of you (cleanroom circuits in the ev circuit assembler for starters), and you probably don't have AE2 yet. AE2, while incredibly expensive at the start in terms of materials and power (at least if you want reasonable autocrafting), is a big enough boost to ease of use that you'll save time just crafting a stack here and there and waiting for your infrastructure to get better.

McFrugal posted:Yeah polyethylene really demands that you make a bunch of machines just to make it. Though you can siphon off some of the products at some points, like divert some ethylene to a tank for use making other chemicals. I find 1 to actually be pretty easy. the LV machines aren't that hard to build, and I already had a line of lv machines making light + heavy fuel then mixing them to make diesel. btw, the best rate of return for ethylene is from naphtha rather than light fuel. so instead of siphoning off my main power source i set up a third distillery->chem reactor->chem reactor->distillery->chem reactor. i just route some oil towards it whenever i need polyethylene and let it accrue a few buckets. once i have hv infrastructure i'll be able to just run it full time and let it fully fill the polyethylene holding tank. I'm already doing that for light/heavy fuel, but the whole polyethylene line takes more than 1 amp mv, so i'm leaving it. you just really don't need that much polyethylene at that stage. all the oil production has the added benefit of supplying near unlimited hydrogen sulfide for making sulfuric acid and sodium persulfate. I automated those, too, which is a big help for circuits down the road. for whatever reason i've never wanted to mess with biomass and biodiesel.

if you care about the gas and naphtha at all, the distillation tower is way more than twice as efficient. it's a must-build if you're doing oil chem.

that's pretty much how it works. for each tier higher, it cuts the time per operation in half while keeping the total energy required equal, doubling the cost per tick, then doubles the cost per tick for no additional speed gain. so lv->mv is 4x. if you do lv->hv, it does those both twice. so it cuts the duration down to (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 but multiplies the total cost per tick by 16. to ev would be 1/8 duration for 64x per tick. for n tiers increase, duration is 1/(2^n) while per tick multiplier is 2^2n this applies to multiblocks as well, which is important for when you start using higher tier energy hatches, as it'll automatically boost energy tiers completely ruining your efficiency.

Faldoncow posted:What's the word on using AE in GTNH as I enter EV tier? Any tips? i'd rush the first bit of it asap. making the screens and a set of drives so you can craft from a terminal is a huge step up and isn't bad power-wise. the power crunch comes when you try to use it for autocrafting. definitely be slow and careful adding new autocrafting systems because if you add too much too quickly you can end up with pretty absurd power costs. one thing that's neat is you can have a bunch of patterns, but route all the materials for "autocrafting" it to a chest or something so you can get precise measures of what's needed for a given set of crafts. that doesn't cost much power but can take the calculating out of batch crafting. it also makes handling fluids much easier, so i'd recommend pushing some fluid storage/terminal too. given the large volume of lots of fluids, you're better off sticking a storage bus on a super tank than trying to fit everything in fluid drives.

BlondRobin posted:Yeah, it’s a good idea, it just joins everything else in the “Ugh, gotta get around to building a setup for that” since I also plan on feeding it nitrogen, so I need a nitrogen setup (which I need anyway, admittedly) so I get the byproducts which are an easy way to get into epoxy and cetane chemicals. It’s more work than just feeding wood into an infernal furnace. 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. actually i'm not sure it was energy positive before adding n2. it definitely is after, though.

drat, I need to take some screenshots of my absolute MESS of a base. I think I topped out at like 14 coke ovens- whatever was just enough to stay creosote-neutral on one railcraft 2x2 liquid fueled boiler firebox. I've since moved to EIO spruce farm powered by a single 8v solar. the spotty power gen works fine for this machine as it just needs a little burst to chop the whole tree. got my lumber axe up to reinforced x , so no durability issues. tree farm feeds into a MV pyrolyse oven w/ t2 coils + n2, liquid output is wood tar which gets distilled into benzene and toluene. benzene powers this whole setup, toluene makes tnt. charcoal is sent to 4 compressors to make triple compressed blocks. blocks fed into a big boiler -> steam turbine @ just under 1a hv production. that's my totally passive power gen for basic chem and lv/mv machine lines, passive h2/n2/o2 production, and AE system. also have oil producing all the way through cetane-boosted diesel for more burst-y power needs (blast furnaces), and rocketry. highly recommend diversifying power production because then you get all the side benefits of the system's byproducts. Like, oil means i have passive (poly)ethylene gen, and the pyrolyse oven means i'll have everything for epoxid ready to go once i build a couple more distillation towers and can move from wood tar to charcoal byproducts. I just have a ton of untapped byproducts from oil and charcoal production, it's killing me to void so many tasty chemicals right now thank you for coming to my tedx talk.

i feel like parasitic really is a great way to describe how most magic mods feel. if you're playing a quest/objective-based modpack, the tech mods tend to all be modified to feed into one another, but it's like as soon as you jump into the magic mods, everything's its own separate system and each mod has you starting from scratch. i think it's mostly on modpack authors to better integrate magic mods into the core progression, but i get why it usually doesn't happen. because those mods usually have their own internal systems of progress, they don't interlock with your average tech mod very well. it's a lot more work than combining, say, immersive engineering and ic2.

just updated my boiler multiblock+large turbine setup post moon and realized this setup flows PERFECTLY. triple compressed charcoal takes 10930 seconds to compress, which is the exact default burn time of triple compressed charcoal in that multiblock. it produces 24kL steam/sec, which is the exact intake my brand new normal sized energetic alloy turbine takes. don't need a regulator and can use oversized pipes with no explosion risk strangely, my turbine's power output seems to alternating between 580 and 590eu/t when i thought it should be 630. halp

Gwyneth Palpate posted:The steam is probably moving sluggishly through that pipe. Try building the turbine such that its steam input hatch directly touches the boiler's output hatch, and the business ends of said hatches are facing each other. makes sense. we'll see if the missing amp of LV power makes enough difference to go through the hassle base tour time! realized how easy multimc made uploading screenshots so here you go  my original lv line and handcrafting area. i just plopped my AE panels down right in the middle  oil processing. left is diesel and right is cracking naphtha for ethylene. my solar powered spruce farm in the back  the back of my lv line with automated rubber+cable, and a small ore processing line with my second ebf. the yellow cable coming down from above is my passive power gen. there's also an extractor stuck in there for glowflowers.  my main ebf, mv line, and hv line. can also see my vacuum freezer peeking from behind the ebf  my very neglected thaumcraft corner  where i first put my bed and built a dirt hut. used to have a stack of coke ovens here. now it's just glowflower passive production and my food fields  view from above  spaghetti underground. left to right, this is automated cetane boosting, implosion compressor, cleanroom, auto sulfuric acid, and a combo line that does a few things. originally for persulfate, now the electrolyzer also helps with chlorine from all the excess hcl. handling all the hydrogen sulfide and diluted sulfuric acid is becoming an issue, so some of this may be split off to its own area where i can plan better for my future sulfuric needs  pyrolyse oven with tar being turned into benzene and toluene. this area will be expanded greatly when i get around to building two more distillation towers

Rocko Bonaparte posted:I'm kind of curious if you figured this one out. i upgraded my output hatch to mv, and installed a long distance pipeline and i have the same issue. i think my problem is the lack of a regulator because the output hatch doesn't push every tick as far as i can tell. sometimes the input hatch on the turbine has steam in it, which shouldn't happen if it was receiving the right amount per tick. looks like it's time to spend the ev circuits on a regulator. boo hiss on the plus side i centralized my power mostly. hooked up my steam turbine plus a couple hv diesel generators to a 4-slot ev battery buffer. i now have four full amps of ev burst power available for my whole base, making ebf/vacuum freezer upgrading quite easy. also have an energy sensor on my battery buffer that only turns my diesel generators on when my buffer is low. i'm saving a ton of fuel now that all my ongoing processes only use my passive power

Gwyneth Palpate posted:Regulators don't help you if your output is unsteady. What I'd do is make a super tank or something, then use that to buffer steam. Put the regulator on that. IIRC, all that steam stuff occurs not per tick, but per second, so you'll get the entire output of your boiler or LHE or whatever every second rather than a little every tick. actually, turns out it was the lack of regulator. the input needs to be fed the exact amount to consume each tick or it voids the excess, causing lower efficiency for the following tick that falls short. my boiler is producing the exact right amount of steam, it's just not moving it every tick. having a slightly oversized output hatch and pipes is enough of a buffer. the long distance fluid pipeline is apparently a no-go for this situation without a buffer between it and the input McFrugal posted:The rate of new maintenance problems cropping up is very low, though. Very, very low. yeah, it's low, but i think it's based on time running, so things like turbines and your cleanroom that run constantly are at more risk and need to be checked regularly

So I recently switched my GTNH world to be a localhost server rather than an SP world and I'm having a minor issue. If I disconnect from the server with my player instance and go afk for a while, the command prompt goes nonresponsive and I can't log back my world. I can't type in the prompt so I have to manually close the cmd window rather than using the 'stop' command. I'm not sure if this risks world/save corruption. Is this a known thing or something with an easy fix? I've literally never hosted MP worlds so I have no idea if this is common or how to troubleshoot. On another note, I've discovered combining fluid p2ps with ender fluid conduits to create an entire fluid i/o network with built in filtering and very low power overhead, this is such a game changer. so so much better than using fluid import/export/storage buses for every fluid port. (thanks to Threefold for this revelation, who is currently doing a GTNH playthrough on YT that's probably the best out there imo)

Gwyneth Palpate posted:The Precise Assembler has two modes, and in the mode all that AE2 stuff is for, it is doing normal assembler recipes. There are tens of thousands of assembler recipes, and they all draw from a common ingredient pool. Pipe sorting wouldn't work. i mean, why don't you just create a redstone control circuit with five bits, enough to send a redstone signal to the pipe hooked up to the appropriate input bus. only activate a given pipe input when the crafting system is sending ingredients which would activate that circuit number's redstone ID (please don't actually do that. it sounds fun but probably even more tedious than what you set up. i could see it requiring less in terms of AE2 stuff though!) actually i'm not sure how you'd translate the crafting request into the redstone circuit without just having 25 different interfaces anyway e- you could include 25 different extra items (not used by any recipe) in each assembler recipe which would get picked up by a set of filters and serve as a set of IDs, activating a corresponding redstone signal and pipe. how's that for overengineered?

I'm sad it doesn't seem to be compatible with Chromaticraft though, that's one of my favorites from 1.7.10 in spite of Reika basically going out of their way to make it more needlessly complicated with every update.
