Hm, Toast actually works now, at least after the initial chunks load. Cool. So, could I have some tips on what power grid to make in the early game and how to progress it?

I admit I'm just assuming they can; I thought all mobs could go through portals, even mod ones. If they can't go through portals, they might be able to go through dimensional doors. I'll try tonight and see. Edit: And yeah Chocobo breeding can be a major pain in the rear end, so I can understand not wanting to deal with it.

I've not been able to ride one through (you take suffocation damage and get pushed out), but I've pushed them through. I find chocobo movement choppy though, so I don't really use them. Scale armor provides immunity to lava, so I wear that and can be very cavalier about safety which makes movement pretty easy. If you don't fear fire, you don't need to worry about mining into lava, which makes tunneling and bridging much faster.

This is my first sorta serious foray in Mekanism's power and... Nah. There's gotta be some catch. It can't be this easy. Low effort, self-sustaining, what am I missing here? I don't know how equitable their power output is compared to, say, magmatic engines though. Maybe they're just less power generation? Anyone know how these compare to using TE's power?

The catch is mekanism is laggy poo poo. It's nice cheap start up power and cabling, but every time your generator goes empty you'll feel it refilling, and more generators just compound the problem.

Tsurupettan posted:This is my first sorta serious foray in Mekanism's power and... Three things about that setup - first, you're better off using Thermal Expansion's Aqueous Accumulator, as it doesn't draw power to produce water, second, TE's redstone energy conduit is more expensive but produces less lag than Mek's universal cable, and third, each hydrogen generator/electrolyzer combo only produces 10MJ/t (in Buildcraft MJ) after enough is taken out to power the electrolyzer.

10mj/t with zero upkeep is pretty nice in the beginning when all you're running is a pulverizer and a furnace, but once you get a decent size AE setup and multiple machines running you'll want to move to something with more oomph. Hydrogens used to put out 100mj/t and that was crazy.

Thanks you two.  Yeah I know about using TE's stuff. I leaned pretty heavily on TE last time and I wanted to try out alternate power/technology solutions just for the sake of it. Are we talking server-crushing lag or just frame lag? I don't mind the latter.10 MJ/t doesn't seem too bad. I had a setup of 20 magmatic engines last time. It'd take 8 of these to match that. However, it'll also take up much more space unless I came up with an efficient solution. My magmatic engine setup was really compact. However, if I'm going to poo poo the server up with lag I'll happily incorporate TE to reduce lag, as I put the server above my own little personal 'challenge'.

It used to be server crushing lag, but only when the generators dipped below full and had to refill themselves. I couldn't say what it's like now, but I wouldn't expect much better. Mekanism is a neat mod, but it's also a huge hunk of poo poo that gets broken as much as it gets fixed.

Tsurupettan posted:Thanks you two. I tried Mekanism's bioreactor a couple weeks out to produce reliable power when mixed with Farmcraft's auto-farm. On one hand the setup was able to easily power a 9x9 potato farm (planter, harvester, composter, fertilizer, sludge furnace) as well as some basic smelting industry (pulverizer, induction furnace, some powered furnaces). In the end it failed for two reasons: 1) I could not get the compactor providing the biofuel pellets to feed into a buildcraft pipe. It would take inputs from transport pipes but would not output to them, meaning it had to be unloaded by hand and then fed into the reactor. 2) Holy hell, Mekanism's machinery is loud. On the plus side I noticed that Universal cable will power wooden transport pipes like Redstone engines, which makes things easier and a bit better looking in my mind.

Having not used it myself, I don't understand Big Reactors entirely. Wouldn't that setup eat a ridiculous amount of the 'fuel' ore? And that ore has to be dug up, it's not a renewable resource.

It's actually semi-renewable, at a 2-to-1 ratio: Reactor makes Cyanite ingots, that can then be converted to Blutonium, and put back into the reactor. So it's not as bad as it seems.

That looks like a Buildcraft Pump. It requires a tiny amount of power but I think it outputs more water than an Aqueous Accumulator. It can also operate all fluids, not just water.

And that ore has to be dug up, it's not a renewable resource. You can also throttle the reactor by increasing the control rods' insertion (the blocks on top with white dots; right-click 'em for a UI). The further in the control rod, the more that particular column's energy generation (and hence fuel consumption) is suppressed. So you can throttle down your baseline load and then, if you need to run some kind of high-power/high-draw intermittent process, throttle up when needed. This'll all be easier with 0.2, as you'll be able to manage the control rods via RedNet.

Go to Magic pack would be Hexxit. Go to Tech pack would be Tekkit, Bigdig or Toast, depending on which selection of mods tickles your fancy. The latest iteration of Tekkit has a spaceship theme.

I decided to give him some feedback on that on... ugh... facebook. Oh! A reply: quote:I'd agree with you on the player marrying the NPCs too and shelved that idea, I was going to add it to the last update, but as you've mentioned, it either wouldn't work, or would be very hard to implement, just way too many variables! I think it's better for the player to lead the community, rather than play as one of them. I politely told him that marrying the npc's would lead to headaches (What if the player is a woman wanting to marry a man? Didn't touch the topic of homosexuality) and that the boobs are horrible due to how badly it looks. Well, half a victory is still a victory i guess?

m2pt5 posted:A wood pipe wouldn't extract? Did you try setting the sides with the configurator? Yup, one thing I am good with is pipes so that was the first thing. Then I tried the side, the front, or the bottom. Unless it has to specifically unload from the right side (there wasn't room to try with the setup I had at the time due to barrels) it wouldn't output into a powered wood pipe. Vib Rib posted:Having not used it myself, I don't understand Big Reactors entirely. Wouldn't that setup eat a ridiculous amount of the 'fuel' ore? And that ore has to be dug up, it's not a renewable resource. Indeed, Yellorium ore, while common, has to be dug up. Unless you edit some files you can't create it in any way as far as I know (such as using the mining laser). However at the same time the mod comes with a machine that is specifically designed to turn the waste into more fuel at a 2:1 ratio, so if that reactor was filled it would run quite well for a really long time. Honestly I suspect that reactor was built either on a mature server where someone said "I have all this yellorium, what the gently caress do I do with it", or it was never fully powered. You could break apart that monster along the mid-lines and make eight reasonably sized reactors.

I've just started playing minecraft again and fired up the Technic launcher and added Wylker's pack to it since I've been enjoying his LPs and I all I can say is that heatscar spiders (and their kids) can go right on ahead and gently caress themselves. Are their any good tutorials out their to help remind me of the stuff I've forgotten about thermal expansion, et al?

Their wiki has the jist of everything currently available. Give it a skim and it'll slowly start to make sense as its actually a fairly small mod. Aside from scaling upwards with more furnaces and pulverizers, make sure to grab an omniwrench just before you're ready to start laying down liquiducts, energy conduits, and possibly logistics pipes for hassle free adjusting.

Thanks. It hasn't been _that_ long since I last played but it seems like things are changing fast these days. To manually add a mod to modpack do I still have to unpack the minecraft.jar and all that nonsense? Or is there an easier way now? I want to add the mods to Wylker's that he couldn't include.
