Edminster posted:I solved the first problem by spending about two and a half stacks of iron on a railcraft Tank. Two stacks gets you the basic tank blocks, and the rest is for two tank valves and the iron tools that inevitably break when crafting. Now I've got a giant steam battery and can use my solar boiler for passive charging!

Vib Rib posted:Okay, uh. So this is embarrassing, but I just realized I haven't used Railcraft Iron Tanks since, like, Buildcraft days/super early TE, so I sort of don't remember how to get fluids back OUT of the tank and into the pipes I have attached to the other valves (the one that's not feeding steam in). I tried slapping copper/bronze pipes on and toggling redstone power to it but no go. What's the syntax here? I think you can only drain Railcraft tanks from the bottom. Put the valve you want to output from either on the very bottom face, or on the side, one up from the bottom (since the edges have to be solid tank and can't be the tank glass/"gauge" or valve)

you can drain a railcraft iron tank from a valve on the bottom part of its face (not counting the very edge) you will need to use something that can extract the liquid, like a wooden fluid pipe or fluiduct set to output if you have two railcraft tanks touching each other vertically with a valve in the dead center of the top and bottom, they will connect to each other and the top tank will fill the lower tank

The edges/corners need to be solid tank, but if you go one up you should be able to place a valve there and drain just fine. No idea why it wasn't working for you.

Note that it obeys gravity, so a valve placed high up on the tank won't drain anything below it. So like, if your tank is only 50% full and the valve is on the top half of the tank side, it won't drain.

I have no idea when that happened. It should still be 1.5.0.3, but it looks like Technic decided to have old packs do the new naming convention, so I am waiting for it to further accept my new link. I have to give it some arbitrary time to figure it out. I set it, and I find it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to an hour to update the link. Edit: It still was stuck on a bad link, so I declared a new 1.5.0.4 version that is just the 1.5.0.3 files, and that got taken in immediately. After what they told me, I am pretty sure the whole thing is not working as they'd expect. Rocko Bonaparte fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Mar 13, 2016 |

I'm messing with IE for the first time. God I love multiblocks. Also it seems like it's going to be an effective way to gate other mods, specifically tech ones, without being too much of an annoying road block. It seems like a very Good Mod. Hopefully it's not too laggy. I'm testing the idea of leaving out Tcon too, I haven't played without it for years but I'm actually enjoying using the various alternative mods and tools they provide, because Tcon always eclipses everything except the most late-game tools.

IE is pretty good, though we actually just found a bizarre source of significant tick usage: Arc Smelter having graphite rods in it. Like, them just being in the machine, whether it's doing anything or not. So it seems like you'll want them to be taken out when it isn't smeltering. PS: throw as many ore blocks as you want into the crusher at once, it'll take all of them and deal with them in a queue. Having windmill/watermill power being a good idea for earlytimes power gen rather than just throwing out a Sterling Generator or Steam Dynamo might be an idea. PPS: IE needs specifically IE Steel for the steel blocks used by the Arc Smelter multiblock. No other steel will work. Black Pants fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Mar 14, 2016 |

The problem I had with IE when I fooled around with it was just how much loving metal you needed to make anything. It was really hard to justify building any of the machines when there were other mods that worked just as well, for 1/50 of the cost. They were really cool once I had them built, minus the fact that the UIs tended to break all the time, though.

A pipe placed on the bottom extracts automatically just fine. But there's nothing I can do to get a valve on this layer to output. Even though a valve opposite this one, on the same height, inputs just fine. Redstone signals don't help either.     As you can see the pipes below fill up with steam instantly, as soon as being placed, even, but the pipes on the side stay empty. Guess I'll just stick to using the bottom to extract, unless maybe Edminster or someone else had a way of making this work.

Yeah, that sounds like GT being GT. The upper pipe would work just fine with Fluiducts, EIO pipes or tesseracts.

Vib Rib posted:The problem is I'm not sure how GT pipes handle it. I'm guessing that those GT pipes don't specifically pull from the fluid container they are attached to. Valves on the bottom dump fluid to anything they are attached to, but pipes on the side don't get dumped to -- you have to pull using a pipe that can pull.

Im still playing that furry modpack. Found 4 ingots of signalum in a chest at the start fo a rougelike dungeon and combat is now over. Hardest part was getting the right bolts (plastic was meant to have a 1500 durability, but i ended up with 5 bolts... so enderium enderium it was) This pack has some sort of morph mod that im really really liking. I pretty much go everywhere now as a bat. (didnt work too well when i went to the nether though. Morphed into a bat in order to cross some lava, moved out of hidey hole and right into a wisp. 3 hearts of hp as a bat didnt last long. But at least i could fly back and get my gravestone! )

Gregtech fluid pipes are literally the worst. Every so many ticks they simply try and move half of their contents into an adjacent pipe or machine/tank. This can mean either direction. The fluid just sloshes around in there forever. You are supposed to use shutters on them in order to prevent fluid flowing backwards but I recommend just ignoring that they exist at all.

IE handles crafting machines in a much more satisfying way, by having you build multiblocks out of a few simple machine components so creating factory lines for the components are feasible instead of becoming a huge tedious line of a million crafting components you can only reasonably do with Applies Energistics

Or some ungodly combination of auto-crafting blocks and pipe logistics systems that takes up an unreasonable amount of space.

How do Progressive Automation machines work? I have a stone chopper with a stone axe, plenty of charcoal, saplings, and a stone upgrade. What else does it need to work? EDIT: it plants saplings but it doesn't chop apparently.

Ariong posted:How do Progressive Automation machines work? I have a stone chopper with a stone axe, plenty of charcoal, saplings, and a stone upgrade. What else does it need to work? The weird thing about progressive automation that you may be running into is that the "range" is actually not a radius. It's the length of a block spiral that goes around the machine. So you want a range of 8 to cover a 3x3 area, range 24 to cover a 5x5, etc. There's a wrench that will show you the range of the machine with a block outline that moves around, try using it and you'll see what I mean.

Plastic has high base durability but a terrible handle multiplier. Plastic is also terrible at mining things, and does bad damage. I guess you could use it as a chisel head maybe?
