About dye processing u're right. Outputs of dyes must be chanched for machine, beacose that will stimulate machine's automation and using of liquids at all.
May be add new material (ex polypropilen/plastic) for pipes as alternative wooden pipe: low temperature limit, but can handle gases without lossing?

Polyvinyl Chloride or Cross-Linked Polyethylene (PEX)

Want.

Mmm, delicious uncomfortable itchy wierd-feeling waxy synthetic fibers.

Would you consider adding a chunkloading option for pumps similar to the ender quarry? For oil it's simple to just load a single chunk but for pumps you need to load in dozens.

A greggy chunkloader.... hmm.... uses EU and liquid enderpearl? XD

Nah, way too easy. How about running on molten Osmium and powered by Nitrogen Plasma

willis936 · October 15, 2015 at 2:48 PM

I was thinking along the lines of a one time cost. The ender quarry loads the one chunk it is working on. The only reason to add this is to reduce server load from having to load in all possible chunks the pump will hit instead of just the one it is currently working on.

I have currently no idea how to code a chunkloader, but it is on my to do list. I'm also not sure what happens when only the machine is loaded and then mines blocks in unloaded chunks. I guess they will load, mine the block and unload again for every block. Thats natually not a efficient way, but as the miner is jumping from chunk to chunk, loading like the enderquarry is also not possible.

My general idea about chunkloading is also a bit special. I think about cubic or exponential growth of running costs per loaded chunk. So that it be comes possible to chunk cheaply load at LV age but quite limited number of chunks. Over time it is then possible to slowly rise the number of loaded chunks as the base is growing but at a certain point it becomes so expensive that more efficient use of chunks is better. Another function is certainly needs is turning off after the owner does not log in for a certain time.

willis936 · October 15, 2015 at 3:41 PM

If you add chunkloading will you add config knobs for things like that timeout timer?

Also I personally see making more chunks being loaded as more expensive as bad. A late game base will have just as many machines whether it's in 50 chunks or 5. The only difference is how painful it will be to try to work in 5 chunks. Total computation isn't too different though. The place where I see server resource usage go down is when you load 50 chunks for automated resource gathering when only one needs to be loaded. There's no reason to have 200 sheep and 50 pig men taking tick times.

I've always tried to stick to a 3x3 (9 chunk) base area, since that's what the Railcraft chunkloader loads. It uses enderpearls. I set it to last for 12 hours for offline chunkloads, and 24 for online-only chunkloads.

I think is bug: Argentia and God of thunder (and possible other crops) grow on last stage with Bauxite ore below.

But without any ore it does not grow, right?

Marks · October 16, 2015 at 12:11 AM

Umm...there is something strange. For example:

God of thunder grow with:
Thorium block
Thorium Ore
Coal Ore
Brown Limonite Ore
Copper Ore

Does not grow:
Copper Block
Silver Block
Copper Block

It seems that growing with many/all ores.

Yep.

Found issue and fixed. The check was basicly if GT Ore = allow growing...
Only metalblocks and non GT ores were correctly checked by oredict.

4 days, i'm almost ready to fire up the teflon machine. MAN this was an undertaking!

I found small bug:　We can infinitely harvest glowheat　on 5 stage.

Blood Asp · October 16, 2015 at 12:46 PM

Do you use a harvester or special tools? In my testworld it goes back to prior stage as it should.

If you hit it on 5 stage (not 7 stage) with hand or a scythe, he will throw the glowstone dust and stay on 5 stage.

Found and fixed. Size nessary for harvest was smaller as size after havest... Seems all other crops are fine.

I still don't understand the RS cover screwdriver mechanics. Can someone please explain this?
