The next time you play a mod without AE2 you go slightly mod because oh my god why.

That's when you add in layers of complexity to your auto-craft setup. Like having your machines inside the smallest Compact Machines you could possibly fit them in (not recommended, it has a tendency to crash badly)! Or go full aesthetics and hide all the piping.

Okay, got another noob question about Tinkers Contstruct. I've made a bunch of casts, but how do I make actual tool parts? I can put the casts in the casting basin, but nothing happens when I click the faucet.

For simple storage with AE2 all you need is a monitor (ideally crafting monitor so you can craft right there), a drive to store cards in, some cards, and a power accepter. Don't worry about the rest of the poo poo really unless you're the type to sperg out over computer networks. But otherwise, a massive house made of storage drawers is still better than a wall of chests.

You can increase your capacity for things that you have a lot of. As always, NEI knows how to craft the upgrades. They're cheap.

I am almost tempted to recommend Rutibex try my BFSR stuff for storage tutorials just for the giggles of it all. Like, Rutibex has done this stuff so much longer than me that any scathing criticism from it would make me just think, "Aww grandpa you still love me, right?" Storage drawers in truth are a very good thing and get people to organize stuff for long enough to tool up to AE2. I generally treat that mod's quirks as a kind of interesting engineering problem outside of the luck involved in getting presses and charged quartz. You might just not nail it. It also sucks to have to rely on somebody's YouTube video to figure that poo poo out: "Hey, everybody InuyashaGoku here and uhhh today uhhh we are like going to uhhh do AE2 I hope by the end but first here are umm some things I uhhh did in my base wait let me kill this creeper."

I don't think I ever actually found any of the videos explaining AE2 useful though, actually. It wasn't until I poured over the official documentation and mashed the pieces together myself that I actually figured any of it out.

Are the drawers really just as simple as "plonk down storage drawers connected to controller and good to go"? I've never touched them (for some reason I can't remember) and just always slogged my way to an AE network.

If you want to get into AE2 for autocrafting, I'm pretty sure you can slap a storage interface on the drawer controller and have access to the contents of your storage drawers network via AE2, as well.

Hey I have a quick question, I've never played a skyblock map but kind of want to get into it - if I play with a friend then what happens with all the quests, do we both have to complete them individually to keep up with each other? Like all the PO2 quests needing you to collect stuff, are we going to just need to swap materials all the time?

You can arrange it to share quest completion, I think if you define that you're on the same team, inside a setting in the quest book. For example, you're logged off and your buddy completes all the Agricraft quests - when you log in, you'd see all the quests as completed and you'd be able to complete them. So you essentially get double rewards since you each get to collect them.

If the quests are run by the HQM mod there's a way to get into a party with each other where you share quest progress. e: yeah, that

Played a bit more Project Ozone today. Things are starting to get a bit expensive, and I am having to make more exotic metals and stuff to keep pushing forward. I needed a good supply of Obsidian, but I was not going to make diamond pick and mine it out. I decided to automate the process. This machine can produce Water/Stone/Obsidian/Ice/Snow, I was already familiar with how Thermal Expansion works, it hasn't changed much since 1.2.5. I made a large Crucible array to produce enough lava to feed the Obsidian mode:   This is what I made with the Obsidian, a QED. It is for crafting more advanced Extra Utilities items. It was really annoying to build!  I used the QED to make energy transfer nodes, which I needed to craft the 8x Generators! My Sifting Machine now runs at 24x rather than 3x  I have 15 of each upgrade in there, it really chews through the sift now. I also upgraded my Smeltery in order to accommodate the larger amount of smelting. I made a bunch more furnaces to process all the charcoal I need to run the things:   I made a portal to the Aether (it was a quest requirement). Looks like an interesting place, I can gather some resources here, though it seemed a little dangerous. I will come back here later and explore more, I just did an initial scout of the area this time.    Another side project. I sifted some dirt and got a grass seed. I made this patch of grass that has begun to spawn Fluid Cows! These cows produce some valuable liquids, I will capture them in safari nets and put them into a milking machine for their vital fluids. I know how to make a good milking machine from the Feed the Beast days. Milking was a good source of EMC

If you pipe from your lava gen into the side of a stone barrel from ex nihilo, you can then form obsidian by having water above the barrel. Once it's formed, you can pipe it out of the bottom of the barrel into a chest. Completely automatic, zero energy!

I recently upgraded from a really old 3.2ghz AMD Phenom II to a still really old but slightly less so AMD FX-6300 that I've overclocked to 4ghz, entirely on the basis that I wasn't able to play heavily-modded Minecraft and watch videos/streams at the same time. Granted I really overload my computer at all times so someone else might have a better time but still I dunno.

Danny Glands posted:Is 2.5 GHz a bad clock speed to run some of the bigger packs? It's once you start building stuff, or if you are playing single player, that you run into issues. Without knowing anything else, 2.5ghz is fine but you can't make a super mega base. You likely need to split it up between locations and be conscious of anything that causes frequent chunk updates.

Evil Mastermind posted:Wait, does PO2 have automatic lava generation? It's part of Ex Nihilo; if you place a crucible above a heat source it will turn cobble into lava. The speed of the conversion is determined by the heat source so it's very slow with a torch, faster with actual lava beneath. I think there might be some mod fluids that make it faster still but i'm not familiar with them. This can be completely automated with transfer pipes: item transfers across the top to insert from your cobblegen of choice, fluid transfers along the side to pull out the lava.

I don't remember what the Lava multiplier was, but for Pyrotheum it was 7x on the source block and 5x for the flow. Be very careful with that stuff, though. I put into my setup and it smelted all the cobblestone around it into smooth stone, then set the tops on fire. Containment wasn't lost, but if I had had any chests or other wood items next to it they would have definitely gone up.

Yeahhhh, I once made a huge wooden platform in PO2 and then placed some pyrotheum below the crucibles (oh god why). It ate its way thru the planks and fell into the void while setting the entire thing on fire.... That was a fun day.

A block of yellorium below the crucible does 25x, and is safe A nuclear bomb does 50x, but if it explodes you'll have a bad day
