Boy I feel stupid asking about steam boilers again, but here I am having the same problem as I was months ago. My boiler is producing steam, but the steam consumer is only getting 480 mb steam/tick when it should be getting 720. If I remove the top 3 liquiducts entirely, there's no change. I don't think they're affecting it at all somehow. Maybe liquiducts have changed? I swear this used to work!  This is an old setup I had, using dual boilers. It worked fine, and as near as I can tell I haven't done anything differently. If you're wondernig why I'm even bothering with Railcraft, it's because I can't get Mekanism working in my Hexxit + Big Dig pack. Error of "NoSuchMethodError: mekanism.api.InfuseRegistry.registerInfuseType". If this turns out to be too much of a pain I'll just find another power source I guess, but most other options are either low-power or very high-maintenance in comparison. Also because I thought these tanks would be better than Xycraft's, since Dynamic Liquid Tanks doesn't work right on 1.5.2, but now I'm thinking maybe I made a mistake. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll want more steam consumers, I find that 4 is more than enough for a max size HP boiler, and you'll also need to make sure to attach liquiducts to more than one side of each of course. Your Mekanism issue is due to an outdated API... somewhere. Delete any mekanism folders in other mods and it should sort itself out. Probably. (UE breaks every other day)

Vib Rib posted:I swear this used to work! I think the max output for liquiducts was lowered to 100mB/t. That accounts for 400. The Boiler itself can only output 80mB/t per face per block, so the Consumer is grabbing the other 80 directly. I believe you can manage 500mB/t by moving the Consumer one block away so that it's taking in steam from 5 liquiduct outputs, but it doesn't matter since you need 720mB/t to handle one boiler's steam production. So you need two consumers per boiler now.

Ok so axelsoar posted this a thread or two ago (Skyden related) What I'm attempting to replicate is the spider shooting range. I can't get spiders to spawn. According to the wiki they need a 3x3x2 area to spawn in...According to the image, there's only one air layer and then a glass layer. Is there something I'm missing? Also sticky keys in MC are super annoying...

Ladies and gentlemen, the home of the future:   Everything can be crafted with vanilla resources and I plan to leave it that way for the time being. I have 3 strengths of field emitter now, with max ranges of 4, 16, and 64 blocks. At half of max range, field strength increases 1 notch, from dirt to stone equivalent. No power required for these. Right now the fields emit light equal to a torch, though I'm considering turning it down slightly. I can already tell the code is a heap of poo poo, but I at least want to get this part fully functional before I go about rewriting already. Things I want to do that I am not capable of yet: connected textures, multipass rendering, multiblock structures.

Nothing too complicated going on, they only need 2x2x1 as far as I know.   Unless you make it long as hell, they will not spawn if you are standing next to it since mobs will not spawn within like 16 blocks of you. Spider eyes are not too terribly hard to get a hold of, I just went with this aproach since it is pretty much risk free and kind of neat looking. Ghast tears on the other hand.   edit: A wide shot of my current set-up for block porn enthusiasts.

So you need two consumers per boiler now. Yeah, each liqiduct can only output 100mB/t, which is a pain in the rear end. You can either do 2 steam consumers per boiler, or you can work around it a bit with tesseracts. Each tesseract will take in 600mB/t if you surround it with liqiducts, and a consumer will take in 1000mB/t if its right up against a tesseract. Should only need 4 tesseracts per 3 boilers. So it depends on which you want to do, i found a tesseract setup more compact but a multiple consumer setup a bit cheaper. Plus theres no penalty for transporting steam, so if you have any distance to go and some space at the destination you could save the transmission loss by converting the steam onsite after its moved.

Saxophone posted:Is there a good 'getting started with toast' guide somewhere? There is just so much stuff going on that I have no clue where to start. Firstly you're going to want to farm mobs for shard of 8 Minmus, get a stone asap. Then plunge into the earth and mine. Then you want a grinder, a hand macerator. This should allow you to get most of your TE machines, Furnace, pulveriser, smelter, liquid transposer and eventually magma crucible*. *Using the stone and induction smelter you can get nether bricks without going to the nether. For powering your first two or so machine a stirling engine should be fine, but don't connect it directly to machines without wire cause poo poo will blow up. Once you've got your basic workshop you'll want a stable power supply. You options at this stage are bio-reactor feed by MFR farms, (high initial effort, high output) lava pump in the nether tesseracting to magmatic engines (expandable, relatively cheap) or the hydrogen loop exploit (again, cheap and expandable.) During this time you should be working towards quarries to passively provide most of your materials, have the first one or two empty into chests, then using their materials look into making a AE storage and crafting system. Once you've got an AE server up, you don't have to worry about chest and storage any more and at this point I usually make a powered suit, teaching the components to the server as I go so I don't have to craft a billion wires. Set up more quarries feeding into a chest next to your AE system, have an import bus pull it all into the server and maybe craft yourself a wireless access point? From here you should be flying around shooting poo poo with your hand mounted railgun while your arrays of 64x64 quarries stripmine the world and provide you with near-infinite resources. Then you can go to the moon, or learn magic, or setup deepcore laser drills to get rare materials or explore mystcraft ages or build a cow concentration camp pumping out liquid meat or  Tsurupettan posted:This is the stuff that dreams are made of. Hhahaa yes oh god when they all kick in, the noise is deafening. Tsurupettan posted:I also have a 10x10x6 space prepared below this room for a big reactor. Go big or go home   All one reactor.

Tsurupettan posted:I haven't used Big Reactors til now. I'm at the point where I am going to start adding rods. What's the ideal placement for rods? I watched Wylker's video and saw I want water in there. Do I ideally want them surrounded on all sides by water, or would having water on one side work? What's the most efficient? I've got a 10x10x6 so I have 8x8x4 of interior space usable. You may want to tinker a bit in Creative to figure that out. The internal dynamics are somewhat complicated. You want to try to line up each rod with as many other rods as possible, so that the radiation from each rod tends to hit other rods while propagating. This produces power more efficiently. However, you also need to keep the rods cool to keep them efficient - that's where the water comes in. As a result of that, the current designs that people favor tend to be grids or checkerboard patterns.

Erogenous Beef posted:You may want to tinker a bit in Creative to figure that out. The internal dynamics are somewhat complicated. Alright, thanks! I guess I'll have to add a row on both side to make 11x11 so I can space them out properly inside. Right now with the 10x10 there would be wasted space or I'd have to have a bunch of them side-by-side. Like this for a 10x10: _R_RR_R_ (R being the rods, _ being spaces of course). One more block of space would add another square between the center rods. Pound_Coin posted:Go big or go home Unlike my last foray or two, I have designed my base in a way that all of my systems are fairly extensible, so while I may be starting with a 11x11x6, I can eventually expand it into a 17x17xWhatever (that looks like it's 16 tall, but it gets hard to count near the bottom).  e: End game project: Rather than a 17x17, make it 15x15 with all of the cables/connected power cubes/etc. on the 1 square space to the side. This keeps it contained to a single chunk. Now start at bedrock, and go up, up, up!

Sir Lucius posted:The problem with books is there's nothing interesting about them. What you need to do is trick people into reading by making them think reading is fun. For example, instead of just having a book in a chest, you could have a computer craft monitor that talks to the player in the world. It doesn't pull the player out of the world like a book does, and it doesn't look like a 4th wall game message like chat text does. It's also easier to follow than a bunch of signs next to each other. Is sea den going to be 1.5 or 1.6? In 1.6 can't you make a resource pack with speech in it? I remember yogscast showing this off in Joffery's Room or something, it was mostly mp3 of speech at triggered events. Have the sea god talk to people at certain events, instead of books or signs.

Arkitektbmw posted:Ok so axelsoar posted this a thread or two ago (Skyden related) They need 3x3x1 and the center of that area can't have a solid block above it (thus glass or another transparent block over a 1 high area works - I used fences). Also, mobs don't seem to spawn close to the spawn island, so if you are building your shooting range near that you won't get mobs spawning in it.

And then hook your item one to a AE or BC system, and the liquid one to a tank.

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.

Unless i'm misunderstanding you, backup your save then manually pick the newest tekkit version, using the cog icon under the pack on the pack select. That'll update the pack and give you laserbeams to work with.

Arrath posted:First, the lightbridge/wall mod looks awesome. I love that they just take vanilla items to craft (so, 8 diamonds and a nether star? The drawbridge is a block that will accept a stack of up to 16 other blocks. When you apply a redstone signal, it will extend those blocks in the direction its emitter face is pointing. When the redstone signal is turned off, it will retract them again. Also quite useful for large doors that don't require loving about with pistons, and nearly any other practical application you can think of that might involve extending or retracting a pile of blocks.

But yes, laser is now collecting me emeralds so I can crank out more foci. 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.

It doesn't care about bedrock. I couldn't say how that fares in mystcraft ages, but I expect it works much the same. As far as I can tell it just checks the height of the drill from 0.
