Average Bear posted:Oh and are any of these gonna cause the server to run like poo poo? I already have my eye on millenaire, which has autonomous villagers running around doing stuff. Before I saw your followup post I was about to chime in that Millenaire and the "autonomous village" type mods are notoriously computationally demanding. Keep an eye on the ChickenChunks loader, I recall that it used to have really poor performance beyond the overhead with keeping a chunk loaded. Most people use the GUI map for claiming/chunkloading chunks. Foamfix might add some instability, but I gather that the performance gains are pretty huge.

Blood Magic can be nasty depending on how hard your players go, but last I remember Millenaire brings all but the strongest servers to a crawl. Maybe pregenerating it helps, but the autonomous villagers are killer.

Ok, Millenaire is getting axed then. Not worried about blood magic, its just 3/4 of us loving around. And I'll replace chicken chunk with FTB tools for chunk claiming (though I don't think it will be a big concern, I just want my potatoes to grow when I'm away). Anyone try Minecolonies? Feel like that could replace Millenarie without actively crushing the server.

While setting up my new laser grid for my Mekanism reactor I kept seeing errors in my power delivery. Turns out for some reason my cryo stabilized fluxduct is only sending 4,000 rf/t So I set up various tests to find the best power delivery, and it turns out I've had a missunderstanding of Mekanism's power cables ALL ALONG. "Capacity 12,800 rf" I thought that was the internal energy storage but I wanted to know the throughput. Turns out it's 12,800 rf/t PER METER OF CABLE. A route of 200 Ultimate Cables = 2.5 million rf/t throughput!

Rocko Bonaparte posted:More stuff: What would it be like to update this biogenerator control setup for 1.12.2? Update--so far: I have an intermediate setup going using RFTools logic gates and storage drawers. The storage drawers have redstone inventory cards in them. I went with min inventory instead of max inventory because faaaaart; they both seemed to work. The drawers are single-slot so I don't think it really matters. Both cards emit a signal if something's in them and stop emitting if they're empty. The RFTools logic gates can only take three inputs at a time, so I have three gates configured like a logical AND feeding a final logical AND gate to signal to the biofuel reactor that it can do what it wants to do. What I don't have are rationing pipes. Did that get stripped out of Extra Utilities? Right now, I just have some EnderIO conduits just lining up into the biofuel reactor. This isn't entirely ideal because I believe an imbalance of any particular seed will overwhelm the conduit. I am not concerned about one side occupying two slots in the biofuel reactor; Industrial Foregoing set it up so you can lock seeds to specific slots. I'm just afraid the setup will lock if one seed is starved out of entering the conduit and the reactor never triggers. Another open question is the best way to acquire the seeds. I'm using Pam's Harvestcraft seeds, so I always get plants. I need something really lazy to turn them back into seeds. I can use a crafter, but I'm blowing 100RF each time I have to do that and I'm having to feed in crafting cards. Is there anything clever that can efficiently turn nine different, single-slot crops into the seeds based on their built-in recipes? There's a final question of if it's worth it in the end, but one thing at a time. Side note: I guess the rednet controller was gone because "you need a degree in computer engineering to know how to use it." To think that I all I got out of majoring in computer engineering at a tech school were three things: a piece of paper, my wife, and knowing how to use the programmable rednet controller in MFR. Now I'm down to two things.

I've been itching to play Minecraft with people again, but none of my buds have servers or want to run one and I'm too drat poor to run one. Is there a goon server which doesn't require a lot of technical fiddly stuff to advance? I tend to prefer exploration, foraging and building, and my specific type of executive dysfunction runs screaming at anything more complicated than basic ore smelting or Thaumcraft ala what Blightfall had. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this isn't the place to ask.

You want the Transfer Filter (no "Pipe") -- it has a single whitelist-only slot and a button that switches between unlimited, stack, and single item only. Yeah you got me. I found the non-pipe filter and tried that one out. I don't think it quite does what is necessary. Depends posted:The Thermal Dynamics retrievers can do rationing. Disregarding the Eye of Ender it needs, I tried that too and it also doesn't quite do what is necessary. The situation is that the biofuel generator has nine inventory slots, to which I'd like to have a unique seed. I want to pull seeds from adjacent storage to fill in their respective spots. The generator in Industrial Foregoing allows me to specify which seeds in which slots and lock that, so I don't have to worry about one seed overwhelming the reactor itself. However, I do have to worry about one type of seed overwhelming the item conduits coming into it. I basically need it to be able to fill in for the spots it currently has empty. One way I thought to do this was with AE2. I could craft a dummy recipe that turns each of the nine different seeds into a MacGuffin of some kind and set up an interface to the reactor to create that item, and let the ME network vomit the ingredients into the biofuel reactor as I get enough to craft one of them. But then I have an ME network up and running at that point. At first I thought it couldn't be in one subnet, but I realized instead of 9 storages of some kind that I could have a drive, so it's quite possible I could do this with just 8 devices in a subnet. I wonder how much power I'd be losing from doing all those operations though. Overall, I'd prefer to be able to do this using stuff preceding having a bunch of certus quartz. Note that I'm not even sure that's how it works in the image I posted earlier. Could that setup get overwhelmed with lots of one type of seed?

Just put the seeds very close to the reactor and use impulse itemducts along with lots of resonant servos. Itemducts can transit an infinite number of items at a time and the tube doesn't "clog" or anything like that; it's rate limited by the servos pulling items and the travel time of the items.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:Disregarding the Eye of Ender it needs, I tried that too and it also doesn't quite do what is necessary. I got it working nicely with a resonant retriever, storage drawers, and vanilla redstone:  First a picture of the full setup. I have the 9 ingredients in drawers with a Redstone Upgrade, which allows them to emit a redstone signal with their relative fullness. That goes into a redstone torch + repeater combo to invert and boost the signal (looking back the repeater isn't required). The signal then feeds into the bioreactor set to run without redstone signal so the bioreactor only runs when all 9 ingredients are present. (I also have a fluid void and some creative drawers in there for testing)  Next the Retriever. The setting here are a bit tricky, you need at least a Reinforced Retriever for the slots and options you need. The top number is the max # of each item in the inventory, this needs to be 64 or less so you can fit all your ingredients in. The number beneath that is the max items pulled at once, this number is not actually important but it smooths out operation a little bit if it's less or equal to the top number. Next is you want the retriever in whitelist mode, and you want it in round robin so it keeps everything as evenly stocked as possible.  And there you go, a Bioreactor happily running at max efficiency. Note how the ingredients are capped at what I set the Retriever to.

Yeap, I can confirm an resonant retriever can do it. That is one hell of lynchpin to have on the whole thing though. I wish there was something cheaper. I suppose one could get away with operating semi-automatically until that point.Willheim Wordsworth posted:Not even in Round Robin mode? (The rightmost button in the row of big buttons in the GUI cycles between methods of choosing the order of items retrieved) The resonant one was necessary particularly because it had the extra option of how many items to keep in the target inventory aka "rationing mode." Edit: This is the best I've seen so far; I couldn't figure out a way to use an ME subnet to tackle the problem since I don't have a weigh to shut off the reactor if it's short on some seeds. Is there something out there you can put adjacent to an inventory that will emit a signal if that inventory can no longer take new items?

Filters get the ability to limit items int the inventory at reinforced IIRC. A single Retriever is much cleaner though.

Depends posted:Does the bioreactor put out enough power to make it worth the effort? It'll be energy-positive, but it'll be worse than even trivial nuclear reactors. I have some basic math. The biofuel reactor will generate 1,440mb of biofuel with nine seeds. The Industrial Foregoing biofuel generator will generate 160RF/tick for a total of 640,000RF. According to various Wikis, a completely-utilized biofuel reactor could run 28 generators. That's 4,480RF/tick. I had a quest path in BFSR to go from a tree farm to ~3 MFR steam generators into a Big Reactor turbine with electrum coils that could deliver similar; I decided for the level of technology of the setup that more advanced coils was an unreasonable demand. What I don't really know to compare against this is what kind of farm I need to keep the biofuel reactor constantly busy, and that's a design problem without multiple parameters: size of farm versus using different accelerants on the crops. As a comedy option, it might even be fastest to just leave out some crass with sprinklers and harvest whatever grass keeps appearing, but I don't really know all the possibilities that might erupt from that. Whether it's worth the effort is going to be a matter of opinion. It's mostly just different so it's more novel, which I just need sometimes. Devor posted:If you use the Applied Energistics 'pattern' method, will it only shove a full 'recipe' worth of 1x each seed into the receiving chest if they're available? Or will it put 8 of the 9 seeds while it waits for the 9th to be available? It should wait until they're all there and then do it. You raise a good point though on whether it'll export them all simultaneously. If so, then I don't have to regulate the biofuel reactor at all. And I could use an export bus with a crafting card set for 9 seeds to turn into some oddball junk and something else that just constantly requests that junk.

The reinforced filter works. On the AE2 side, I'm not sure what I can do. An ME interface to a chest with a pattern to output nine different seeds to, say, a sapling appears to output all nine items immediately at once. However, then I have to do something cute to tell the network that sapling was "made." I just tried an export bus for saplings set to always craft instead of use existing items. That wouldn't work because a real sapling wasn't actually being created. What I realize I should have tried was having a second export bus just keep running a sapling through a chest that would import the sapling afterwards and have it counted as "crafted." An alternative is an export bus with two capacity cards and two acceleration cards. I can't tell if it actually "immediately" exports nine seeds at once, but it sure is doing it quickly. I'd have to just do some trials with a reactor and see what that thinks of the situation.
