  • Support Request: Problem with server

    Check your buildcraft config file for converting old pipe entities.


    If that's set correctly re-download everything (could be a corrupted file, or a silent version update) and re-integrate in the correct order. I have BC 2.28 + IC2 1.42 + RP2 pr4 running together so it /is/ possible. You MAY also need to update your block IDs since there are a few potential conflicts between 1.8.1 and 1.0.x worlds.

  • BUG: Pump doesn't fill buckets IC2 version 1.42 SSP

    The 'water' on the right that shows up right after the pump comes online isn't actually water but an indicator that the pump is ready. When in action this plunges down and slowly sucks back up until a cell is filled. Cells go in the top slot only, the lower slot is for power.


    If your miner is stopped way too early and your pump isn't working, you might need to go down and see what happened your self. (You didn't state the was the case or not)

  • Support Request: Server Install isn't working for 1.0.0

    Recheck everything; that the archives open without error, that you correctly assembled them, the exact versions of all involved files.


    If it's still a problem the above list of fact is what we need; however you will probably find the issue and resolve it your self by trying to gather those facts.

  • Transformer recipe question

    As pointed out already, Transformers are special; both IRL and in game. They do things in special ways that unless you're interested in real electrical engineering you'd be completely TL;DR about.


    As for the special cables, they are like switch boxes RL, and must be rated to handle the maximum load that can go through. Since that load is EV that's the kind of cable that it costs. (Where in a transformer the cable is used in other ways; there are other forces at work that provide the actual transfer in/out.)

  • [Suggestion] Add the Minecraft 1.0.0 port that is posted on the blog to the forum banner above.

    Quote from HeadHunter67

    You know, they could just check the "Public Releases" section - that's what it's there for. It's visible from the main page, you just have to make the tiniest bit of extra effort to look for it.
    I'm sure the banner will be updated, though - I agree that it's out of date.

    Who ever goes or even looks there? It's practically never active so it gets added to the 'mental ignore' area as 'useless'. Plus, there are the lovely banners here that tell everyone the old version is out. They're more likely to see 1.42 is released if they look in the /bugs/ or /servers/ sections.

  • [Bug] [IC2 1.42] Machines not drawing current at night

    I /have/ seen overloaded servers where the state of a dialog box doesn't update in a timely manor; it is possible your server was experiencing this. Another critical thing to do would be to check the machines themselves to see what their charge indicator shows and if they have any input/output left to work with.

  • Reducing Energy Loss the right way with a timer circuit ?

    click really fast, keep clicking fast. Eventually you'll notice a string of 0 and 32/128/512/2048 EU packets (or possibly one of the later numbers divided by 2,3,4 etc) When you're clicking fast enough you can capture a small enough number of frames to actually see the size of the packet; otherwise you're seeing an /average/.

  • [Bug] [IC2 1.42] Machines not drawing current at night

    I'm still in the 'need to find enough iron to make a pickaxe out of it' stage (-just- wasted 3 ingots on making a bucket so I could start growing food and not die) on my new world. Maybe later tonight I'll be advanced enough to test this legitimately... but I could try giving my self stuff via MPUtils /i command (damage codes are so useful).

  • [AddOn v1.90] 100% Wrench Rate v1.90-1

    Trying to use 1.337b version of this for 1.42 server results in these errors; it seems a further update is necessary.


  • [IC2 - Server] [Informational] [1.42] Awesome seeds

    Do you have an awesome seed for 1.42? Please share it, and why you think it's awesome. If there's a benefit in other mods (RP2/BC2) please also state that as part of your reason for considering it.


    Basic seeds:


    ic2 - Start on a small island with but a single tree. Probably not the easiest, and finding rubber sounds difficult.
    IC2 - (note caps) Started in a forest (wolves were found) near a desert and swamp (rubber trees). (happened to start at about 260, 69, -80 )
    rp2 - Forest (with a few rubber trees spotted), desert, and volcano (RP2) - This looks like a nice start.

    Kill me - (with one space) Everything noted in that thread by the original finder, a lava pool, swamp, snow, deserts, forest, town and planes. This is possibly the absolute easiest start yet.
