Uh, modifiers on books is still possible. That's what the Ink Mixer is for, not just for creating link pages - you drop dusts into the ink splot in the center to change the properties (for example, gold dust gives intra-linking.) I don't know if following is still possible, though.

Following is not possible. It's going to be a ~binding material~ modifier or some poo poo, if the mod ever includes them. Intra-linking is available via ink though.

mod.addShapelessRecipe("quartzC 1", "lapis");
mod.addShapelessRecipe("quartzDustC 1", "siliconR");
Its in a file named mod.js I put in config/CustomStuff/mods , which I assume is where I am supposed to put it.

The only thing I can see off the top of my head; there should be a space between the ItemID and the Metadata in your Alias's. I'm not a programmer though so I don't know if this would make a differance:

code:

mod.addAliasWithMetadata(4362, 6, "quartzC");

Rocko Bonaparte: Mar 12, 2002; Every day is Friday!

I finally started pumping out all the oil I have in my undersea work site. It turns out I have quite a bit of the stuff. The 10 portable tanks I made are all full, and I'm starting to debate having a longer-term oil tank instead. Is it correct that the Railcraft iron tank's capacity is 16 buckets times the outer volume of the tank?

I'm trying to come up with clever ways of hollowing out the work site for my undersea dome. My initial plan was to work on my turtle program until it can do it all, but it looks like I can get most of the site preparation done with clever use of the digital miner. I wanted to know if this all sounded about right, and if there is anything else to worry about. I want a 128 diameter dome under the ocean, and I want the inside of it to to start out flat, with all dirt. I also need a ton of sand to smelt for the clear glass. Underneath the dirt I want it hollow so I can build out a good base. What I am planning to do now in the general perimeter is:

1. Poke the digital miner out of the ocean floor.
2. Have it mine everything to the low level I want.
3. Mine the floor y-level, replacing dirt, clay, and stone with dirt.
4. Hollow out everything 4 y-levels beneath the dirt.
5. Mine out all the ores.
6. Start up a quarry in that hollow 4-high region to finish clearing everything out, stopping to pump oil as I run into it.

I'll probably also set this thing up in some desert somewhere to dig out lots of sand for the glass operation.

I was planning to use a smeltery, with something to generate lava to feed it. Is that the most efficient method of making clear glass? Should I be using an array of electric smelter? I'm talking thousands and thousands of blocks quickly. When I did a smaller dome, I had something like a 3-high smeltery with basins all around it, artificially clocked to just keep pouring.

I was way into the idea of rail networks carrying materials mined from my mines and drilled from my wells until I found out that the price of tracks in railcraft had been arbitrarilly increased and hidden behind several tech upgrades so that in the train mod featuring trains I wouldn't exploit the trans too early or too much.

If you search for "Drum" and have it then those totally own. You can hold 256 buckets in a 1x1 or 1x2 (I forget) and you can pick them up with wrenches.

They aren't nearly as cool as railcraft tanks, but depending on where you are looking to store things they are top-notch for efficiency.

Depends on how you are going to start it.

If you have a flat ocean floor to start with, and you want to clear the water, you need walls and a roof, then you can just sponge the top and let the water fall away.

if you have an uneven ocean floor, or you have tunneled in with ocean above you, well, blasting is best. Double-charged obsidian TNT will get you a 15 tall, 4^2 chunk room easily. Double charging obsidiantnt is where you put the first charge connected to your primer, like rednet, and the second charge under that. That way the first blast activates the second tnt. I cleared my room by capping it with advanced blast walls, so all the explosive force was down and out. If you just let it go crazy, well, mileage may vary.

Obsidiantnt doesn't work if its wet by the way, so water on it make it pop and then do nothing. However, I use it for all my undersea expansion. 2-3 stacks minimum.

OK I'll look them first. I didn't know they could hold so much stuff. The work site is so transient that I wanted to avoid a tank. I've started to clean enough out that I could keep one somewhere for a little longer though.

Edit: Which mod does this? I see something about an item drum but nothing for liquids. I just get noise googling for it. When I get to the game I can just see what NEI comes up with, but I was hoping to read up on that in some down time here.

I both have an uneven floor and I have tunneled under it. I could blow holes in the stuff but I do already have a lot of power available, as well as the digital miner and the quarry. They're just sitting there, looking smart. Do these blasts preserve the ores?

An ME interface is treated as an inventory, and anything dumped into it gets sucked into the connected system if there is a place to put it. Put a tesseract directly adjacent to one and it will output into it.

Indeed that is. Arrath linked you to the new stuff...

So ErogenousBeef-

I setup the above and then after a fashion realized that no more extra steam was coming out for the water I was putting in. Seems like the active-cooled reactors give out a max of 5000mB/t before they simply cannot go any further.

Any chance we could get that as a config option (alternately: is it possible that you could increase this limit, or is it there for some other reason)?

Ctrl-shift-click will send all items of the same type into or out of an inventory that tweaks supports, and spacebar-click will mose as many items as possible (ignoring possible stacking, only empty slots get filled.)

I still have to manually match up items in my inventory to stacks in the chest (for ctrl-shift-click)/be working with a full chest (for space-click).
It's just that after playing Terraria for a while I really miss the convenience of a single button that you simply click and everything automatically sorts from your inventory into the chest.

Hopefully not a silly request, but could that be keyed to the size of the reactor in some fashion, say for example a base of 1000mb plus 250mb for each internal block that isn't a rod or solid metal/graphite block, or implied as a fixed multiplier per rod block or some other fashion that scales with physical reactor dimensions?

In other news, I built the worlds' worst turbine in my secret underground lair before realising that, duh, making long rotor blades is obviously far less efficient than smaller cubes. I guess I was hoping for a better inertia based generation on size than it actually gave. Worst technician ever.
