Tekkit chat... I thought I'd try using as much of the MFR mod as I can and started with conveyors to move stuff around and I've hit a snag pretty much right out of the box. Without RedPower, whats the most efficient way to get a redstone pulse to fire an ejector so I can get the stuff onto the conveyors from the mining turtle chest?

I'm about to test out a redstone engine to see if that will work but I'm wondering if there's something buried in a mod there that will let me make the equivalent of a RedPower pulsing timer circuit?

Thanks!

Could write a computer craft program to emit a pulse every X seconds/ticks.

In tinkers constuct you can melt down villagers into liquid emerald. Supposedly there's an emerald cast somewhere but I can't find it and the liquid emerald is useless without it and you can't scoop liquid emeralds or metals once you have put them out in the world.

Couldn't you pour it into a casting basin and then turn the blocks back into emeralds?

That's not a bug; the reactor can't operate if part of it is unloaded, as the bits that are unloaded may actually contain parts of the simulation. If any part of the reactor unloads, the whole thing pauses until the machine is whole again. You can use UE uranium, but I think yellorium is more common by default.

I think you're imagining 0.17. You might be thinking of 0.1.7, which is an older version than the current 0.1.13. The most current version can always be found on the Big Reactors website.

I've talked about 0.2 in the future, which will of course start with 0.2.0 and go up from there.

Does it use the yellowcake, refined uranium or the fuel rod? CAuse I got some of those sticking around, but Mekanism stuff always causes my computer to lag with all the block updates and noise and stuff.

Yes it does use the Atomic Science U-238 derived by turning Uranium Ore into Yellowcake then Uranium Hexafloride then U-235 and U238. I have done this myself, and in my suggestion: don't. The energy costs of the machinery needed far outstrips the power you get back. However if you find Nether Urnaium, you can pulverize it into 4 Yellorium dust.

So basically just drain my supply of U-238, then start using Yellowrium/Blutonium then?

At least fusion reactors don't seem to lag so much. Friend of mine built a huge one, but he used the Mekanism energy pipe to transfer out power which basically turned my MC into a slideshow. Thankfully convinced him to switch over to conduits.

Progress video of the new fields, felt it needed to be seen in motion. Adds a new meaning to "light rail," I think.

Do you think you could possibly have some kind of extender or remove the range restriction entirely for the rail fields? Would be great for futuristic transportation. Plus I wouldn't have to rely on Railcraft's high speed rails anymore.

I have some new emitter types on the drawing board, including one that would generate fields in such a way that you could have one continuous field extending as far as you wanted. Like the electromagnet rings around a particle collider. I don't expect to have it in for the next release though.

I didn't originally envision the yellow fields behaving this way, but as I was experimenting with the physics, came up with this, and immediately spent 5 minutes sliding around having fun with them I figured I found the answer. Right after that I realized I needed new emitters so people could make zoom tubes.

I still have several bugs relating to the yellow fields I need to resolve. After that, there's one more emitter type I *do* plan to include, and some general polish and additional user configuration. Will release after that, but I don't expect it to be for a week or two.

I always thought it was weird that no matter how futuristic I could build things with various mods that I was stuck with minecarts (Or if I had traincraft, old fashioned coal trains) for transportation. Having Zoom Tubes would just be incredible.

I only need one more type of mod to complete the whole ensemble though... anyone know of any good wireless redstone mods? I know Chickenbones didn't update his for 1.5

We had a bit of a cow infestation, as I found out the chronotyper in the breeding facility was 1 block short to cover the whole room, enabling the cows to overwhelm the... Walls. And in the slaughter area with the calves, the slaughterhouse had dead spots as well. They are all dead now, and I will have to reinforce the walls with spikes or something before I repopulate it.

Are blocks less... penetrable (I guess) than fences? Cause I had a 5x5 area surrounded by fences that I used to breed cows. There were only like four of them in there, but every now and then I'd come back to the pen and there'd be calves outside the fence even though power to my chronotyper was never interrupted.

So I recently added a bunch more ram to my computer which so far has basically crushed any and all problems I've had with playing modded minecraft.

Except one.

For some reason I can load as many mods as I want (Got up to like 85 most recently) with few to no problems. However if one of those mods is ever Natura or Biomes O Plenty, suddenly my CPU usage skyrockets and the game becomes unplayable.

And it's only ever those two mods too. Even if I cut out a bunch of the other mods, the moment I add in one of those, my framerate tanks the moment I load a map until the game crashes.

Any idea what could be causing this? I know I have a fairly old computer but without those mods everything runs perfectly.

I would love to see something like the Redpower windmills except they generate power people actually give a poo poo about. Those were super cool aesthetically. I know some mods have wind generators but they're either tiny or just inert blocks. When RP2 for 1.4 was teased, the windmills were the only thing I got excited about.

Mekanism has wind generators that are like modern windmills. The blades animate faster the higher up they are and the more power they generate.

They're not as big as RP2 windmills, but I still think they're kinda cool even if they're one of the more low power options.

KingLemming: I'm having trouble with itemducts and MFR harvesters. I've got the harvester, an itemduct on "red", a few more, an itemduct on "blue", and a chest, and it's not harvesting. I've tested it with BC pipes and it works perfectly, and I've also fiddled with the itemduct settings (blue/blue, red/red, blue/red). Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem here. I have the harvesters dump their contents into a chest, which feeds into two itemducts. One is set to vacuum mode and delivers stuff back into the planter. The other is set to restriction which heads to an overflow chest which feeds an MFR Bioreactor.

However, the itemducts are completely ignoring their settings and are going for the overflow chest first. Which is especially weird because even without the restriction/vacuum settings, the overflow chest is farther away from the planter anyway. It doesn't make any sense.

Both of you, screenshots. Seriously, this is literally pics or it didn't happen.



This is the way the itemducts connect to the chest next to the MFR harvester. I have four farms, all set up like this, and all of them dump to the overflow chest before refilling the planter. Green pipe leads to the harvester, red leads to overflow chest.



This is the overflow chest. I've temporarily disconnected the itemduct from it so that the planters can refill. The farms are fully grown at the moment as the farm had been working overnight due to a nearby Stargate (which apparently acts as a chunkloader). This is the closest farm to the chest (you can see the wheat farm in the background), but all of them dump to this chest before going to the planter.

See how the connection on the bottom of the chest is red, the pipe is probably full of crap that doesn't fit in the planter and wont pull anything else. You should just replace the chest itself with an itemduct.

Huh. didn't notice it was red now. It wasn't red when it was sending crap into the overflow chest. And the only thing going into the chest is what's being harvested.

Still, I'll put in just the duct and see if that works.

Items will fall out of the pipes and onto the ground. This is one of many reasons that BC is terrible and you should use something better. TE, AE, EXU, etc. There are many superior choices.

And if you're holding out on BC for the Quarry, apparently Mekanism now has it's own version.

There's really no reason to use BC at all aside from using it as a dependency for other mods, although most of those are switching over to RF power.

I still find that I prefer vanilla Minecraft, but the Attack of the B-Team pack at least got me to try modded Minecraft. I did enjoy parts of it, but I think what I'm looking for is a modpack that is more of an expanded version of vanilla than all the fantastical/magical elements and crazy machinery that I find in most modpacks. I find myself enjoying mods like Biomes O' Plenty, Bibliocraft or Carpenter's Blocks - mods that seem like a logical expansion of what's already there.

Does anyone have any mod suggestions that kinda fit this feel? Or is there a modpack out there already somewhere that has what I'm looking for? I can't seem to find it if so.

Tinker's Construct would probably be a good bet for you.

It lets you make tool parts out of various materials to make better tools than in vanilla. It also adds new tools like mining hammers and lumber axes and various weapons.

You're gonna starve anyway, Hunger Overhaul is brutal on skyblock. If you're using the Sweet Home map, there's some hidden dirt you'll want to get asap and expand your tree farm with it. Always use a crook to break leaves, try not to move around a whole lot, and do quests immediately- one will give you apples and another will give you a pan you can cook food in. Definitely start using silkworms on trees as soon as you have some backup saplings, because you get more silkworms to cook that way. More than you'd get apples. Just keep your silk tree separate from the rest of your tree farm because oak WILL grow into the silk tree and get infected, which means you could accidentally run out of saplings.

Also, hostile mobs keep spawning even though most of my area is brightly lit. Did one of the mobs change spawning behavior?

So I checked my spawner platform. It's in plains, so there should be stuff spawning there, but nothing is.

But then, I suddenly got a ton of spawn eggs out of a reward pouch, and a cow finally spawned there after I converted it into a chicken pen.
