That thing is cool as poo poo and kind of makes me want to do Thaumcraft again.


If it weren't for the damned research thing that is (or dealing with warp for not dealing with research)

Why use config to turn warp off completely ("wuss_mode") and the cheat sheet on?

Well his eldritch research has driven HIM mad, it isn't like you should get a better deal

Because Azanor's THATS MY FETISH ~vision~ means you lose all Eldritch research for turning his darling babby warp off.

Wait, you do? I have what I presume to be a full Eldritch tab in my cheat-sheeted Thaumonomicon and I've had warp disabled from the start.

Is there something beyond the primordial-pearl based multiblock alchemical furnace? Maybe I'm a version or two behind...

StealthArcher posted:

Well, you used to, if he's changed that good for him i guess, though tbh I've never cheatied around it so i don't know if that's specifically a way to get around it.

It crashes on the main menu? Before you even open load a save? That's a bit surprising. Have you messed with the modpack in any way or are you just running it using the mods and configurations it had when you downloaded it through the launcher? How much memory have you assigned to it? OMP is a big pack and will not be able to run without much memory.

Back on the OMPi is slow loading talk. I google Java setting for MC, trying to remember what the flag was that you used to have to set in Technic to make big packs work and found these.


Java 7:

The Java 7 version about halved my OMPi load time. So if things are still slow for you give that a try.

Less complaining about ponies more posting cool machines



I've been experimenting with Technomancy since StealthArcher added it to the latest OMP-i, and it's got some pretty neat stuff in it. After a few tests I discovered the Essentia Dynamo produces 96,000 RF per Ignis essentia, which is more than enough to power a galvanized bellows (RF consuming device that fuels alchemical furnaces). Here I've got a glacial precipitator pumping infinite snowballs into the furnace which is melted down into Gelum essentia, centrifuged down into Perditio and Ignis. This is basically a magic reactor that runs on water. The Everfull Urn provides infinite water, so it's upkeepless forever. It looks super cool too! Thaumcraft is spergy but man its blocks do have style.

Seriously, Thaumcraft would be such an awesome mod if Azanor could pull his "~vision~" out of his rear end and strip out research and just have the Thuamonomicon being an in-game reference book. The mod already has progression of sorts after, it's not like you can jump straight to silverwood pimpcanes at the start.

When I add mods to a mod pack, how do I stop technic from removing my mods? (When said modpack updates.)

If you don't gate the fun behind ridiculous grind you're not a ~real~ modder.

I liked the ideas and machines in Gregtech (especially the electrolysis), but holy gently caress if the time and material requirements weren't ridiculous. Also his obsession with making the player experience as hostile as possible.

Yeah I really liked his lightning rods and endgame fusion tech and that it was legit hard as poo poo to get enough chromium to do that stuff even in a modpack that otherwise made a lot of poo poo easy. Too bad he was too far up his own rear end to just make that poo poo into a decent mod that meshed well with other tech mods in spirit and scope and scale.

chairface posted:

Also his machines and only his machines giving a poo poo about rain was infuriating.

Truga posted:

So... I had a bigreactor filled with the gelid cryo thing.

Now I added a turbine. Is the gelid cryo thing doing anything besides looking cool now?

GotLag posted:

The only reason I was ever able to build a fusion ring was because someone else on our server had set up a 24/7 automated Enderman farm+trap - all of which required other mods. From memory, something like 1300 pearls were required for the full fusion assembly.

In IC2 breaking a machine with anything not a wrench would make it drop a metal block instead of the tool. I could deal with that, it's fair enough that you have to disassemble a machine with some care.
In Gregtech the machine exploded, but not until it had sent out packets of electricity to fry other cables and machines. Greg even patched this to make it send the packets in increasing size so it would cause as much damage to connected machines and wiring as possible.

MechaCrash posted:

The thing about breaking an IC2 machine getting you a machine block gets better. If you used a wrench, that didn't mean you got the machine back. It meant you probably got the machine back. There was a chance, I think 10%, that you'd get a machine block anyway. Due to people complaining about this, the electric wrench was given a lossless mode that was guaranteed to get you back the machine block, but it used so much power that you could only do it once, then you had to recharge your wrench.

Why? Because gently caress you, that's why.

GotLag posted:

Sorry, I misremembered. It was actually 3,072, as per this page.
Those 192 beryllium cells each require 16 ground-up ender pearls to be electrolysed to produce. Or you could grind and electrolyse 1,856 emeralds instead to get the beryllium. All this in addition to the 6,144 copper ingots, 280 pieces of iridium ore, etc etc.

Fun city!

Edit: also, the 384 chrome ingots required 3,456 piles of ruby dust, each of which comes from grinding one ruby, or spinning 10 redstone in a centrifuge for 350 seconds.

This seems an awfully low number to me.

That, and I don't play Minecraft offline very often if at all. I probably just should, since it's not like I ever do much with anyone else on e.g. Modderation or OMPi except bum charged certus off of them.

They may be using a different pack with a different power output multiplier. Also, I never really hit the books on Big Reactors, but my intuition is that the same methods for passive cooling are not what one would want for active cooling. So I am not so sure about that resonant ender when actively cooling.

Truga posted:

Also, I'm pretty sure the passive coolant doesn't do anything for active cooled reactors.

Vib Rib posted:

Where are people even supposed to be getting all this poo poo? If this were Equivalent Exchange and you were setting up generators so strong they shat out diamonds every few seconds then maybe, but what's the solution here, just go to the End and run around with a looting sword for hours on end? I mean, it always seems like some of the most resource-heavy mods are the same ones that provide no new way of getting the items they demand. How many mods add new recipes for nether stars? Tons! How many mods add a new way to get Nether Stars? Or even wither skeleton skulls? I can think of maybe two or three, and that's including Equivalent Exchange again.

Using passive coolant in an actively cooled reactor should give you a huge boost to steam production, if the Big Reactor Simulator website is correct.
