Ahh, I see, yes... that is all in redstone. So what about the burgers? Can you either make your burger upgradable to a cheeseburger, or pam's able to use a meat bar?

So it appears there is a GT hamburger, and a Pam's hamburger. Pam's can be upgraded to a cheeseburger, but Greg's can't. Greg's can be made out of meat bars, which can be made from chicken, but Pam's can't. Also iirc, redstone contains mercury and…

Oh that's weird. Fluix dust says it contains iron, mercury, aluminate and chromium, but it can be mixed with calcium sulfate walstonite and sulfur trioxide, voiding the iron, mercury, aluminate, and chromium.

So still no idea why I can't get a hopper to drop only one load? Is a vanilla pulse former not only a single tick pulse?

Weird... it actually takes less energy to make copper wire in the extruder than the wiremill, even before you count losses in the boilers etc.

The smelter can turn solids into molten fluids. The mixer can turn most molten fluids into molten alloys, which you can then output into a mold to turn back into items ( ingots/plates/etc ). The problem points are steel and carborundum, because those…

Oh, and why is a wrench not one of the tools in the multi-tool? That is the most commonly used tool, with the wire cutter and screwdriver after that. The scissors, file, saw, and knife are used much less, especially in world ( as opposed to in a…

That won't work because the iron will come out as soon as it melts before it becomes steel.

By the way Greg, the other thing you still need a crucible for is carborundum... no mixer recipe for that either. You going to put that…

The tools let you set how many items it should output at once. I set them to 5 and 1, but when they get the redstone negative pulse, twice that number is dropped. Despite that, the crucible has room for two batches at once, so I…

So I normally have to set the repeater delay to 2 ticks in the pulse former to make auto igniters work, but I tried lowering it to one tick in my attempted auto steel setup, and now the hoppers drop only 2 loads instead of 3. Why can't I get them to only…

Well that didn't work. I set the hoppers to only output 5 iron dust, 5 tiny iron dust, and 1 tiny carbon dust into a center hopper then into the crucible. I used a pulse former going into a solid block with a redstone torch to invert the signal then…

(Quote from GregoriusT)

How? I'm trying to play around now with 4 hoppers, a temperature sensor, a pulse former, and red alloy wire. I need to invert the signal though before going to the hoppers, and you did add the ability to stick a redstone torch…

Not a crucible! Must automate steel! Unless... has someone come up with a way to automate steel production in a crucible?

(Quote from GregoriusT)

Now if only I could convince you to add a mixer recipe for iron + carbon => steel, I would never have to stand over a crucible again!

Or.. how about carbon in the solid slot + molten wrought iron in the liquid slot of the smelter…

Suggestion: make the smelter capable of making wrought iron and annealed copper by putting in already molten iron or copper. The thing has a liquid input slot that isn't used.

Say, why is it that all of the other tungsten ores acid wash for a metal chloride that has to be smelted and then electrolyzed, but tungstate gives lithium chloride, which instead of smelting has to be electrolyzed with water. Why can't you do it in…

Vertically? Between two layers, as in limestone and... not limestone? Because so far ALL of this stuff is in limestone, it's just that the tungsten stuff is directly under the iron/copper stuff.

(Quote from GregoriusT)

Could you be more specific about this "inbetween two specific layers"? I've dug out some more and gone down deeper and while it is all in limestone, it appears that the limonite/malechite/azurite is just above a good layer where…

(Quote from GregoriusT)

I have yet to detect any sort of border between them. It's all in limestone and I just keep expanding the rectangular room in all directions and I seem to find a tungsten ore scattered here and there with the other ores all over.…

(Quote from GregoriusT)

Yea, so? Who in this picture *isn't* using redstone ticks?

By the way, I am very confused by my tungsten vein. I just went digging for some more tungsten and I got 11 huebnerite, 8 ferberite, 12 scheelite, 13 tungstate, 10…
