How do I use the new stuff?

Quote from Chocohead

Welcome to now for a start.
The ore washing plant washes crushed ore (from macerating ore) and turns it into purified ore, with stone dust (for Construction Foam) and some extra of the metal ore that you put in. It needs 1 bucket of water per crushed ore.

The kinetic wind generator is placed down, and then one of the kinetic wind generator rotors can be inserted. Once one is, and the wind is strong enough (use a windmeter to check if you want), it will start making kinetic units. You then put a kinetic generator next to it, and that will turn the kinetic units into EU. It is essentially an upgraded form of the windmill. The wind is strongest at Y 161 BTW.

does the kinetic wind generator offer options not to break from high wind like the old one suffered from?

Quote from SpwnX

It doesnt break with high winds. It will just damage the rotor faster if it exceeds material resistance. Use high-grade materials on your rotor and it can withstand any wind just fine.

cooll

another question..

How is the item buffer supposed to work with the item sorter? feeling lost here or at least confused some as to how to use it?

I see it as a option to prevent backups in the item sorter but don't know how to use it in that method? any idea/suggestions?

I haven't used the item buffer myself, sorry. You might want to go creative testing with it.

looked at it.. and honestly it feels like a item sorter 1.0 or hopper 2.0, need to see how it takes in items and goes

they
don't naturally output unless there is a upgrade.. even if a box has a
color touching. they don't have a default exit option like hoppers do..
so they are just glorified boxes

feels like a hopper that can go
up or to a side.. but you can't put two next to each other or it will
loop weirdly and probabbly cause alot of issues with any server

honestly
i don't know what the item buffer is meant for.. i can't figure out the
logic and would say the item sorter is better but needs a dedicated
direction buffer and more logic options.
IE if you have 4 ore washers
in a row.. and 4 item sorters it will balance the ore going up between
them as long as they all have a up rule ( and somehow this is set per
the TYPE of item IE only CRUSHED ore know it should go up.
IE you
have 256 crushed iron ore, ( 64 per washer) and you put in another 64
ore into the item sorter. it should split that 64 into 4 stacks of 16
for each washer

this could be done if the was a UI checkbox between the directions and the "white list" to indicate ?balance load?

right
now I am not seeing out of the forward backward left right up down all
the directions being needed ( someone fill me in if i am wrong ( other
then going in a corner))
just a up down left right directions would be good.. and allow most things to be routed..

if you need to turn at a corner then use a wrench to change the output faces?
