I always wound up dumping fluid into the top of a drain.

Actual answer: I think both ways work, but the inward drain has to be part of a fully-legal level of smeltery blocks. I thought in the past I could just kind of pop a drain up by itself on top and it'd all go. I might be hallucinating again.

No, the drain definitely needs to be part of the multiblock proper, i.e. a full layer of blocks. Note that the corner blocks don't count, but it can be on any layer of the multiblock.

It's legit to put a drain on the top layer of the smeltery and pipe it into the top of the block, though

Here's some Enigmatic 2 spam to liven up the thread: Can somebody contrast Engimatica 2's changes to EnderIO to how it is used normally? I found it quite stark to have to light up some bedrock to even get started with the mod. Previously, it really just took getting to some redstone and a ton of iron. Will the wired charger also be something I can use to charge up all those wands that are in the loot? I was gunning for that last night and I wonder if I'm about to waste my time. Is there a better alternative I should be looking for starting up power generation? Intro power seems to really shift every few months. To think that canola kind of rise and fell in the time I didn't really even care to try it... For Thaumcraft, is there anything particularly cool I should gun for in the new one that jibes with tech mods? I really took advantage of the infernal furnace and metal alchemy in Blightfall, but I am not sure if the metal alchemy was done with modified rules. I also wonder what the cool kids are doing for essentia management now since it doesn't look like Thaumic Energistics is in there; I don't even know if it's updated. As a side note, being able to scan the contents of a chest in one hit is very much a nice thing, but it's still frustrating to have to scan individual crafting ingredients as they are made. Actually, is there any real tangible use for that? Actually, another Thaumcraft thing: has anybody figured out how to consistently scan the moon? I have the most luck when it's nearly overhead. At other times, I seem to get eastern/western quadrant more often than not. However, I challenged the notion one more time last night and got the drat moon within 30 degrees of the horizon. Is there anything equivalent to lunchboxes in that mod pack? I think one of the old hunger mods had that, but I figured it was a novel enough thing that something else would have picked up on it by now. How glitchy is Cooking for Blockheads right now? It's really fond of showing me stuff I can't actually make with what I have on hand, and I'm suspecting it's omitting stuff that I can definitely make. For the latter, it might be poor integration with Natura. Finally, how well do the weapons in Tinker's Construct work with the new rules for shields and cooldowns? It takes over right-click for me and has kind of devolved combat to running backwards and taking paced swings.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm going insane. I've spent the past few days working my way up the tech tree in Per Fabrica Ad Astra, a TerraFirmaCraft based modpack in which you progress from stone age stuff to immersive engineering and IC2 machines and then rocketry and other planets. I was a few hours into a long trek looking for a Gabbro rock area to look for Garnierite (nickel for black steel) and kimberlite and native gold/silver, when I suddenly just became fed up with the grind, exited to main menu and deleted the save game and then exited out and deleted the backups as well, with my mind justifying it as 'saving me from a pointless grind for nothing'. What even is wrong with me... I've been doing this a lot lately, deleting saves in different games that I've put dozens+ of hours into. I can't seem to leave any old saves lying around, either. Start a new game in something to try something new? Delete all the old stuff. I think randomly detonating that nuke last year in JAdair's Age of Engineering server was the start of the slope into madness. These days, I'm a gibbering wreck searching for anything to keep my mind off this pointless existence.

You can automate it with a vanilla dispenser, a vanilla observer (business end facing the block that sets on fire,) and a ranged pickup method of your choosing. Run a redstone lead out the back of the observer into the dispenser, and put a bunch of flints and steels into the dispenser. It'll collect grains of infinity until the flints and steel run out of durability.

I don't know about the misanthropy but that sounds like burnout. I don't know how much a person can play "generic progression pack that has Immersive Engineering as a stepping stone to IC2" before they get fed up and want to destroy reality. Something that particularly frustrates me about a lot of TFC packs is you could go hundreds and miles without finding the resource you need. In base TFC, that is less of an issue because some of those trace minerals don't matter too much, and you can poo poo out bronze in a variety of ways to do most basic quality-of-life stuff. Heck, in this bit of Enigmatic 2 I'm trying, I ended up having to rely on the /bop tpbiome command to try to find a biome that had a jungle sapling. I had only found oases up to that point, and the trace amounts of jungle leaves weren't giving me saplings. So I tried that command against every jungle/tropical/whatever biome I could find and it found... nothing. I had to then go in 20,000 block spurts--since the command searches within 10,000 blocks--until I found one at something like 30,000, -30,000. I was starting to think the command was bad and had it take me to a prairie... which it did. So it took programmatically searching a 30,000*30,000=900,000,000 square of blocks=900 square kilometer area to find a biome with some jungle saplings, and that biome ended up being a small tropical island. For comparison, according to this site, here are some countries that are smaller than that: Bahrain Singapore Malta (three times smaller!)

The way some people grind mining ore in Minecraft makes me think I could make some money writing a cell phone game that displays a 3x3 grid of "ores" that you can press to reveal a new "ore" while making a bunch of ASMR noises or something. It would have no point but people would buy it.

I think what alot of those grindy 'realistic' map gen modpacks need is someway to (expensively) explore or acquire the rarer resources you need. Build an 'expedition post', tie a horse to it, and fill it with supplies / equipment. Then it runs passively in the background, generating chunks in a spiral pattern around the post and dumping samples of any ores, saplings, crops, etc. it finds inside an output chest along with a log of what was found where. Once it runs out of food or equipment it stops. Fill it up again and click on a found resource in the log and it slowly mines it for you until it runs out of food/picks.

If you're not on Expert, Mekanism is probably your first major aim - Wind Generators are crazy good and not particularly expensive, they're just loud as poo poo. If you are on expert, I started with Immersive Engineering windmills and went to Mek Wind Generators from there.

I will say cooking for blockheads mostly seems to work fine, but I can confirm I see it ALWAYS show like 6 or so recipes I don't meet the requirements for on Disasterpiece. That said, I like it pretty well, except man, what I REALLY want it to do is show me (with clickable items?) what pre-reqs I am missing when I type in a recipe, rather than YOU CAN'T. Also why can't ovens be dyed?

Black Pants posted:I'm not sure I could play non-skyblock Enigmatica now. I honestly almost switched to skyblock but I kind of am enjoying non-skyblock mode as well. Like, having Recurrent Complex or whatever mod is adding the ruined buildings is great for me - I want minecraft to have a ton more of that to be honest. I built my base in a tower that I found and then restored an old ruined church and built my thaumcraft area there (so flux wouldn't ruin my main base or anything). Frankly Skyblocks are way funner when you have like the Skylands setting or something where you aren't having to do the worst part of skyblocks : building infinite big boring platforms. I get that Minecraft is all about building and stuff, but honestly a mod that gave me some options for prebuilt buildings ( and I installed one on my last skyblock ) would go a long way for me personally.

The Prefab mod does a decent job for that. It tends to focus on vanilla with some of its structures, but you can use one of those houses to cut out some of the basic crap. If I ever made another BFSR release, I was going to use that. The houses can create a solid mining shaft with ladder all the way down to a chest that contains anything interesting it had to displace along the way. I would prefer if I could create my own prefab buildings, but I also wouldn't really have the time to define some and publish a pack using them anyways.

Yep, that's the mod I was using - I just didn't find the buildings very interesting. Again, unless there's a super compelling reason why dirt needs to be rare (and even if it does, just make your skylands out of silt or something useless instead), Skylands is 100% better than normal SkyBlock. If folks don't remember that, SkyLands was a generation option in some older skyblock packs that just made huge floating landmasses of dirt and nothing else.

Not that there is really much reason to travel around.
