psusi Copper Miner

You do have to not overdrive the machine, but the saw's max is 64, so that should have worked. I normally prefer to use dense invar boilers for the 100% efficiency once I'm past the first bronze ones but I have used steel in the past when invar was in…

Nope. You just have to produce the right amount of steam to drive the machine you want. The tooltip says can not store power conductor fluids, which means steam.

Cassiterite. Tetrahedrite is best for copper.

I just noticed that the smelter has a fluid input and a solid output. Why? It only takes solids and turns them into liquids.

There's a tungsten drum too, but you can use less tungsten to make one of tungstensteel instead. Would make sense to do the same for a tap. I thought it felt a little cheeky to store lava in a drum, but it sure was nice to be…

Not sure. Water? Water + Oxygen? Hydrogen + Oxygen?

I also just noticed that pipes get the same temperature bonus crucibles do so you can run molten invar through an invar pipe, but drums do not, so you can't store molten…

Because it's a much more convenient way of making nitric acid. Also it can turn K2S into K2SO4 and Na2S into Na2SO4.

I see. How about adding the ability to filter to the conveyor? Also when you added the lightning processor, I thought you made it able to create hydrogen peroxide, but it appears that still has no recipe. Is that something else coming or should that…

Oh wait, I think I remember now: a retriever will reach through the pipe to a far away machine that normally will not push into the pipe and pull things from the machine into the pipe, to itself, and then inject them into the machine it is attached to,…

Pipes will push into a machine all on their own. My understanding is that a conveyor makes the pipe pull.

No; I never played GT5, but that sounds just like retrievers from COFH. My understanding of conveyor belts is that you slap one on a pipe and it will suck items out of the thing the pipe is connected to ( just like the retrievers…

So it's a conveyor belt that can be filtered? Does it have different speed tiers like the conveyor belt?

Holy hell, you only need to mine 20 sheldonite to get 7 iridium. That beats mining 2000 garnierite by... a metric assload.

Yea, I'm now certain that the whole aqua regia platinum group sludge thing is too weak. Purified sheldonite and platinum can be washed in aqua regia, but if you centrifuge them instead you get 10 times more iridium. Acid washing should be better than…

So in my last world I did somehow manage to to make an iridium crucible from aqua regia processing nickel ore from sluicing garnierite. I tried looking for a nickel vein last night in the nether with no luck, so I Just checked the math again and it…

If there is a molten version, sure, but it kind of sucks that once you get the smelter you can mixer up a bunch of alloys nice and easy, but because carbon has no molten form, anything that alloys with that you have to go back to…

So you can mix molten tungsten with molten steel to make tungstensteel, so why can't you mix molten tungsten with carbon dust to make tungsten carbide?

Now that not one but two lithium batteries have been reintroduced, did you go a little crazy on their capacity Greg? I mean at the LV level, we go from the next lower two types at 128k to 2 and 4 million for the lithium types. Isn't that a little...…

(Quote from GregoriusT)

Theoretically yes, but practically, would it really break anyone's setup? The only things I can think of that would break are:

1. Solar flowers
2. Running a single battery bat box into a transformer to send only 1 amp bumped up to

(Quote from GregoriusT)

I'd love to use a battery box, but those require circuits which require the ever elusive iridium!

I put an electrometer on the wire between the MV dynamo and the LV-MV step up transformer, and it reads 65 EU. So the dynamo makes 66 as I calculated, and 1 is lost in the wire so the transformer should see 65 in doInject() and go into overload, but…
