    Realism-mode heresy.

    One uses what works. Sadly EnderIO pipes work more realistically. Pipes under pressure shouldn't "slosh", and pressurized throughput should always be 99.99% predictable.

    (Also, in our pack, they're way more expensive than GT pipes in resources)

    Having seen contradicting information, can someone confirm whether a large titanium boiler (1800 mb/t of steam) will produce enough steam to run a multiblock steam turbine?

    (the contradiction i've seen is 1800 mB/t vs 1800 B/t required for the turbine)


    Where are you getting your turbine information from?

    Make sure you're using the gamepedia wiki information as its the only one that's up to date. GT5u turbines don't have a set steam requirement: it varies depending on the rotors.

    Just a quick notice: I will be away from tomorrow until next monday. At best a quick visit with my mobile, so certainly no update or bugfix until then.

    Also, on the weekend i will be at the Connichi anime convention in Kassel. Should anyone here also be there, feel free to contact me.


    Cool Blood, have fun!

    Cool, i live in Kassel and plan to visit the Connichi at some point. What are you doing there exactly?

    Have you seen his avatar? Well, that's a real photo.
    Anime conventions are the only place where he feels confortable, because everybody thinks that he's cosplaying, so he goes on every one. It's kinda sad, but he wins a lot of cosplay contests.

    As a matter of fact, we all use our real faces.
    SpawnX is really a smiling cat, Willis is a bearded character from minecraft, Pyure is a Pirate-ninja Mushroom (I hope?), Mauvecloud is... well, a raining cloud. He still plays pretty, besides the fact that he rains on the keyboard.

    I do have a batbuffer with 8 Lapotron Crystals, before a Transformer near the EBF, and my turbine actives when the buffer is low, and deactivates when its full.
    Usually this is enough, but I finally found a tungstate vein today, and I'm cooking non-stop, so it's being too much for the poor girl.

    Well, I let it charge for now, tomorrow I finish batch, time to sleep here. No need to hasty now :D


    This inspired me to make two EV x16 bat buffers filled with lap xtals. I have two x4 EV buffers on either end with energy detectors hooked up to them. The energy detectors go to RS TX that feed a simple RS SR latch (the really compact one that only needs two RS torches). It turns on when the first buffer is near empty and off when the last buffer is near full.

    Also funny enough I do wear black jeans often, a wool sweatshirt that looks like that one, and a beard.

    Hi.
    I've made a simple modpack, but it has a trouble.

    First, it works well in singleplayer. However, when I try to open it in multiplayer, it gives error messages and goes back to the title or crashes. It's like when I used the Gregtech 5 Unofficial with forge version 1445-1481.

    Linked is the client's crash log.

    Lastly, for your information, both of server and client were using Forge ver 10.13.3.1428.

    Could you post some Screenshots of this scheme? I don't know that one with RS torches.

    I have one to activate the boilers when my main tank (steel railcraft one) is empty (fluid detector on a pipe before a tank buffer for the turbine, so it don't stops), and deactivates when the output hatch of a boiler is full (meaning that my railcraft tank is full as well). It is a little improvised, with pistons and redstone, but works pretty well and is very cheap.

    For the battery buffer, I'm using energy detectors, RS transmitters and receivers, because it stays far from the turbine.
    It opens the steam pipe that feeds the turbine when power is low, and closes when its full.

    But the setup that I use to keep the boilers and the turbine active is a little big, two pistons, two brick blocks and a redstone block. I wanted an idea for something smaller, I don't use to play with vanilla redstone, so that was the better I could do.
    Also, a detector mode to outputs redstone signal only when a tank or buffer is TOTALLY full or empty would make my setup much more smaller.

    BTW, I feel that Lapotrons crystals are really cheap, in comparison with HV batteries. I was struggling with lead to make battery alloys, even after finding a galena vein, but I have plenty of redstone and lapis to make the lapotrons.
    Thats not bad though, as they are used to make those expansive circuits further on...

    You mean, "I actually wear my eye patch on my other eye (as well)"? Clever guy...

    Honestly the cheapness of the lap xtals is causing me to rework my energy network for EV distribution. Even after a few tetra veins and proper processing I'm out of antimony while trying to wire things up. It just takes so many batteries to limit current to certain areas. With EV distribution/buffers with HV xfrmers it takes the burden off the batteries a little.

    Also I can't screenshot atm but I will later. I'm doing the isolated perpendicular RS Nor latch. You can actually make it a bit smaller than that picture shows. All it needs is the redstone from one torch going in front of the other torch. You also don't need the negated output (unless you design to do it). The hardest part is keeping all of the negates and double negates in your head. Your best bet is to just write down some states. You know you want the LHE on when the input buffer is low and off when the output buffer is high. Write down what your energy detectors do and what RS input your LHE needs. Also learn the single RS torch inverter. That thing makes life so easy.

    What witchery is this? 8|
    I think I'm pretty happy with my pistons, really.

    It's basically this, probably most of you know how to do it:

    ________________________Boiler controler______
    |Piston|Brick|Redstone block|___________|brick|Piston|

    It works like this: Tank empty, redstone signal activates a piston that push a redstone block under the boiler control, activating it. When it starts to fill, the piston will retract, but the block stays where it is. Until the Boiler hatch gets full, and sends a signal to another piston, that push the Redstone block back to it's original position, deactivating the boiler. The brick is there only to avoid direct contact with the piston, keeping it active. It's simple, and don't blows my head off :D
    It stays under the boiler too, so It's hidden all the time, not so ugly.

    But I'll read this link, maybe is easier than appears...
    ---Edit----
    I see that you are using a LHE, so Boiler input is also a concern. ATM, I'm using regular boiler and charcoal isn't a problem, so I dont need to check for it. Maybe later I'll do a more complex system, probably using a hidden room underground and attach inputs and outputs to wireless RS transmiters. Like a program fuction ^^

    Now I'm curious: what other mods carry social stigmas in this forum?


    Which ones don't? I only use Gregtech, Railcraft (tank) and Thaumcraft (I feel that even IC2 is casual).
    I don't know much others technical mods, therefore I fear and want to destroy them.
