Hello

Elloraam.com is offline the whole night can somebody send me a download link?

thanks, Lennard (12)(dutch)

The downloadlink IS ON ELORAAM.COM adfly bypasses it only.

And Thermopiles are enough for my 8x8xLength Drillmachine. But i forgot to make Screens of the work in progress, so you can only see it tomorrow or so.

Edit: I have it actually not finished (only Forwarddrive and Drillhead but no Automation), that's why you have to wait for them.

Ow, damnit... Now i'm tempted to start messing around with frames instead of programming useful stuff or having a reallife :O

GAH!! have to fix that....

So i got the 8x8-Drill (without Outerhull for Lavaprotection, D'OH!), It runs on a Sequenzer and Batteries.

Edit: Pic 4: Outerhull finished now is only the IC²-Machinery left.

Still missing a fuel-based BT source, so no BT machines for me.

Edit: Facts about Frames:

- They can move your Spawnpoint WITH THE BED!!! => Truely Mobile Base
- They can move everything including Lava and Water => Onboardcobblegenerator and Thermopiles usable
- They can move into not frameconnected Air/Lava/Water without Problems
- They can fly

- They need Blutricity to run (there are Blue Lamps to indicate that), but no matter how large the Construction is, they still consume a constant amount of Power per Move (even a BT-Furnace consumes more)

- A Drillmachine needs at least a Width of 4 Blocks and a Height of 2 (3, if you want to sit in and 4, if you want to survive Lava)

- You can change the maximum amount of moved Blocks in config (linksize=1000 by default).

Edit1: Thank you, Captain Obvious. i will add the following:

- Everything must be attached to the Frame otherwise it will stuck.
- If you put a COVER-Block on the Side of a Frame it becomes unsticky
- If you put a PANEL-Block on the Side of a Frame, it's still Sticky, but allows additionally Cables/Buttons to be placed on

Edit2:

- Thaumic Crystals are not compatible to Blockbreakers, which makes Tunnelboringmachines a little bit more expensive to harvest them, but hey you can then also harvest Chests if you put a few Transposers there to suck all up.

You forgot to include the most obvious, if you want to move something, it must be connected directly to a frame, otherwise it will make the system stuck itself or something

Yes sir, Captain Obvious, Sir.

Tangent alert! (sortof, it is a pr5 thread)
anyone seen a good forth guide as it's related to redpower computers?
I am a programmer but i'm still trying to wrap my brain around forth. RPN gives me a headache.

failing that, i'm wondering if anyone's going to do a redpower 6502 c compiler.

in other news: Eloraam really needs her own forums for redpower, it's nearly impossible to find anything in that thread.

Oh this Thread was more releated to Frames than Computers, i think you could make a new one for RP-Computers.

Eloraam should make a deal with al and share this forum, that way we can get information on both mods easily XD

I support this.

What if you shove a chunk loader/anchor block on mobile base/drilling thing? That work as expected? :>

I dont use Chunkloadingblocks of Additional Pipes, because i don't use BC.
I wait with installing Railcraft, because i don't want any BlockID-Conflicts with IC² (Redpower and IC² must use their StandardBlockID's)

I think they could have Problems. Make sure you use the Anchorcart for that, because it's programmed to be mobile.

passinglurker · April 23, 2012 at 7:27 AM

the forward drive has me stumped mind posting some detailed pics on how you built yours?

jppk1 · April 23, 2012 at 9:07 AM

I made a "TBM" that mines around 120 blocks per second at diamond level and places torches after it. It runs on 16 thermopiles and a sequencer. imo frames are op because the only real cost to do that is the four motors. It gained those diamonds back in under 10min.

What? you have row of 480 Blockbreakers?!?! You must have modified the config for that (maximum size), because Maximumspeed is one Move per Second, and you have four Framemotors.

~~@Forwarddrive, moment i will do it after i finished the Forum.~~

Edit: The Forwarddrive:

These Pictures are explaining much about how it works

Dirt = COVERS
Stone = PANELS
That is only to make the Diffrence visible you can use any Cover or Panel you want.

In the End i have only to push a Button and it moves one Step forward.

jppk1 · April 23, 2012 at 10:10 AM

Yep the config is set to 2500. The 120 blocks/sec is quite theoretical,as the amount of lag is quite ridiculous. Btw ,thanks for the pics. I'm so stupid that I wouldn't have figured out to use redstone tubes myself

IC² for 1.2.5 is out. Now i can build my Machines to process the Stuff of my TBM. Sadly i started a new world 5 hours before IC² was out and now i have no Uranium in the nearby Area, but i have plundered a Thaumcraftobelisk within the first hour of play, on the legit way, what makes that acceptable.

Must... resist... temptation to build giant solar-panel producing&planting machine.
