I will try is this issue is possible to fix by ignoring single overamp ticks. That shoud be relatively easy to implement.
Basic idea: Every cable gets a variable. One tick overamp rises it by 100, Every tick without lowers it by one. Rises the variable above 400 the cable melts. In case it is just 1-2 ticks on chunkload that melts the cables, this should help without breaking the general function.
... or just disable getBaseMetaTileEntity().setToFire() until first onPostTick().
xF4m3, there was a recent update to support forestry 4.
How much EU/t Oil Drilling Rig uses (LV)?
The first location I tried to oil-drill in test world contained natural gas. Natural gas is only 15 EU/l, (15 000 for a bucket), so energy "profit" was negative (needs more energy to pump out than it can be gained by burning gas). Intentional?
5.09 is fun. I restarted to experience what it is really, and to use oil more. Usual obstacles (diamond hunt, cassiterite hunt).
New rubber obstacle: find 42 small sulfur ore, what is enough for basic steam turbine, basic wiremill and basic centrifuge, when using IC2 copper cables. Now obsolete because of alternate circuit recipe, which eats redstone instead.
Plastic is expensive. Distillation tower will make it much cheaper. For now I'm reserving it for HV tier things. (I'm going to power my universal macerator, while I still have no ore washer and I'm still moving my single fluid canner around).
Nitro diesel is good and a good LV-era semi-automation practice (120 oilsands blocks -> 60 light fuel; 80 oilsands blocks -> 12 heavy fuel; all that to 72 diesel and then to 90 nitro-diesel. IHL helps to get nitrogen).
Feature request: replace an empty drill's battery with full.
Simplest implementation would be:
On shift-rightclick:
Ensure that drill's inner battery is empty.
Search player's inventory for exactly the same battery and "move" it's energy to drill.
gregtech 5.09.02. from MachineStats.cfg:
I:SteamTurbine.efficiency.tier.1_7=7
I:SteamTurbine.efficiency.tier.2_8=8
I:SteamTurbine.efficiency.tier.3_9=9What do these numbers(7, 8, 9) mean?
bug after update: maintenance damage happens 100 times more often.
https://github.com/Blood-Asp/G…811d00fc655f91b1416dfL325
noticed effects: large stem turbine's rotor degraded very quickly, blast furnace got 3 maintennance problems over relatively short time (an hour or so).
Is that block called gt.blockores.01? These get generated by some other mod i could not yet identify. Because they are generated the wrong way, thay contain nothing. In that case they drop cobblestone.
That's most likely some version of IHL. Two reasons to claim that:
1) IHL generates huge veins of it's own ores successfully, and similar-sized veins of invalid GT ores appear.
2) IHL generates huge veins of cinnabar (Thaumcraft version). looks like it first checks if any other mod has an ore it wants to generate. GT ores are more complex.
So 20kEU/Bucket Lava. With superheated Steam even 30kEU.
It's still weak, compared to high pressure lava boiler (that small spammable block), which makes 300K liters of steam per lava bucket, so 100K EU with basic steam turbine (if I remember numbers right). Downside - no pahoehoe lava. Maybe high pressure lava boiler should be nerfed?
Large heat exchanger distilled water usage. This line is a hidden bomb. As I understand, it rounds up distilled water consumption, and does that every tick. Then in worst case this machine will waste almost 1L every tick, what is 1.2 buckets every minute. It's distilled water, so it will very likely be used in a closed system, so expect explosions.
Unless I missed that a remainder (fraction of liter) is kept somewhere.
Should I post things like that to this forum, or github?
I'm very happy that wiki is up-to-date. I'm curious, how much lava is worth in a large heat exchanger? Wiki says "1L Lava into 2L Steam". I interpret it as 1 bucket of lava to 2 buckets of steam, or ~1000 EU. Really? 
Hm... thanks, I'll look there.
I forgot to add that these lava pockets are sort of vertical, several blocks wide. Height - something like 10 blocks, maybe more.
And if yes, could somebody kindly tell me where does PFAA generate diamonds?
At lava pockets. Quite easy to find while caving, because lava makes sound. If you are also playing with Railcraft, check under oceans.
Also, if it's not already possible, it would be nice to be able to process wood pulp into either ashes or carbon, even inefficiently. Same for rubber, and possibly plastic.
Rubber and plastic - already possible with arc furnace, wood pulp - I don't remember.
I built the new IC2 fluid reactor, added 1 quad thorium cell and some heat vents (capable to transfer 48 heat). Reactor shows 144 hU/t (too much, I think).
gregtech: 5.08.19
IC2: 717
After removing galacticraft, input hatch accepts oxygen (that is, blast furnace works perfectly).
That line of code: return mRecipeMap == null || mRecipeMap.containsInput(aFluid);
part 1: mRecipeMap == null
Is true when chunk is very recently loaded. Not very interesting.
part 2: mRecipeMap.containsInput(aFluid)
calls: https://github.com/Blood-Asp/G…/util/GT_Recipe.java#L221
then: https://github.com/Blood-Asp/G…/util/GT_Recipe.java#L226
last line: return aFluid != null && mRecipeFluidMap.containsKey(aFluid);
where mRecipeFluidMap is public final Map<Fluid, Collection<GT_Recipe>> mRecipeFluidMap = new HashMap<Fluid, Collection<GT_Recipe>>();
So there is a map with a key of class Fluid (from forge). When keys are equal for containsKey() method?
I didn't find this specified for HashMap, but for Map it is: [size=10](key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k)) http://docs.oracle.com/javase/…Key%28java.lang.Object%29
Does forge Fluid implement equals() or hashCode()? No: https://github.com/MinecraftFo…ftforge/fluids/Fluid.java
Then equality implementation of Object is used. Which may be comparison of internal addresses (pointers?) of objects. Oracle java documentation about that: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/…bject.html#hashCode%28%29
What happens, when there are multiple oxygens, and only one is in a hash mRecipeFluidMap? Only that one will be accepted.
I don't know what exactly happens, but:
without galacticraft - everything works
with galacticraft - right after chunk load some oxygen (like 5000 liters) is accepted to input hatch (because mRecipeMap == null). After that, no oxygen is accepted. My base is far from world spawn, so chunk actually unloads/loads when I reconnect to server or switch dimensions. Oxygen in electrolyzer's output looks like the same GT oxygen, but that is just a visual, so might be disguised galacticraft's oxygen.
I tried Galacticraft 306. Electrolyzer shows that it contains GT oxygen, it tries to output to input hatch, but it happily refuses. I have a feature request. Take a line:
https://github.com/Blood-Asp/G…tity_Hatch_Input.java#L64
and do something like return true if config says so. That should work.
I used:
Gregtech - 5.08.something
Galacticraft - 3.0.11.333
Forge - 10.13.3.1408
Basic electrolyzed made galacticraft's oxygen, if I remember well. I think it looked different.
