The scaner is meant to get exact values.
The first effect is called smog. I did not yet get that working. It is meant to be a visible filter, like when in thaumcraft there is some eldritch stuff going on. Air becomming brown and muddy. This i meant to start early before any real effects come out.
So far i tried to do the effect for a few hours so far, but i will try it later once again. Coding stuff about visuals is certainly not my strengh.
Pollution is more of a machine spam prevention. Spamming dozens of low tier machines to produce EV+ energy is what ends with pollution effects. Upgrading your machines while progressing and not making more of the old stuff will keep you in the save area.
Despite changing the config, end asteroids seem to be extremely few and far between (I see 1 like every 1000 blocks). Does anyone know if something is interfering with world gen? (e.g. climate control mod or smth)
The default chance is 1 Asteroid every 300 chunks. So, did you lower the number to get more asteroids?
I:AsteroidProbability_300=1 would result in every chunk containing a asteroid.
Also the visibility in the end is really bad. that results in missing many of the generated asteroids.
Display MoreI'm still strugglng with automating my ore processing.
It's really a larger problem with Gregtech item pipes and sorting in general. They don't really deal well with any kind of filtering. I'm trying very hard not to resort to using another pipe system, such as Project Red's transport pipes or Thermal Dynamic's Itemducts, since I feel I ought to be using Gregtech's expensive pipes and filters to stay in line with the overall difficulty level of the mod.
If a chest buffer sends its output into a pipe, if the destination for the first item in the chest is full, the system locks up. The item goes into the pipe and stays there, and the item in the pipe prevents the chest buffer from sending out anything more. The same thing happens if there are no valid destinations for the first item in the chest buffer.
If the chest buffer is directly connected to another machine instead of using an item pipe, this doesn't happen. Obviously the "full" case still results in a delay, but if the first item in the chest buffer can't go, the chest buffer chooses the first valid item instead of locking up. For example, if a chest buffer for an ore washer gets dusts because the macerator created some dust, that's fine. The first crushed ore goes instead, no matter how many dusts are ahead of the crushed ore.
If chest buffer is sending out logs, and the first item attached is a Type Filter Buffer set to logs, and that type filter is full, the system locks up, even if there are other things in the chest buffer than could move. If there's a sapling after the log stack, for example, it stays put even if there are valid destinations for the sapling. On the other hand, if I replace the Gregtech item pipe with a Thermal Dynamics itemduct, the logs wait but the sapling moves.
So the simple solution is just to use Thermal Dynamics Itemducts. Which cost 1/6th what Gregtech Item Pipes do, because it's 2 Tin + 1 Lead -> 6 Itemducts intead of 3 Bronze -> 1 Item Pipe.

As linked again, oreprocessing with GT only is fully possible. It only ends up as huge clusterfuck and needs an gigantic amount of materials. for your order issues, maybe allow some overflow even trough it does not go trough the most ideal path then, also restrictive pipes for the order might help.

Including AE2 and/or EnderIO Conduits allows for much more compact systems.
Adding to that i can quote some tipps i made a few months ago:
The setup i posted also looks really complex, but using EnderIO pipes or Applied Energistics can make it much more compact. I can try to list some important improvements/points i have... Input goes into type buffers: Ore, crushed ores, impure dust, dust. Ore into one single universal macerator, that output loops back into input. Crushed ores get split by filters. Chemical bath with mercury and sodium persulfate get filtered out, remaining with lowest priority into normal ore washer. buffer chests of chembash full triggers redstone to close shutter, so nothing flows over into normal washing. Purfified crushed ores go again trough type filter, remains leave oreprocessing. Purfified get filtered for sifting or thermal centrifuge, remains go into macerator. Some purefied dusts go directly into smelting, remains into centrifuges. Now all the output gets filtered for tiny/small dusts or nuggets and typefilter+superbuffer+packager setup turns them into dusts/ingots. Dusts that need Electrolyzing or centrifuging get filtered out again and looped back. Now all coming out gets filtered for dusts that need smelting. Also there are some special lines for other materials that need centrifuging or fuel rods that need thermal centrifuge. The machines are all Low Voltage besides the High voltage macerator. Also are the machines set up so, that stacking them as much as needed is no problem. Remember that (type)filter only need energy for auto output. push pull them with other mods and everything is fine without powering them. Doing that using enderIO is actually quite easy.
The MC 1.10.2 builds are uploaded on github. I will from time to time upload them on the other download places too. https://github.com/Blood-Asp/G…al/tree/1.10.2/build/libs
To disable GT machine recipes, use the Recipes config file.
Ok, weird question here: does anybody know what the "HardCoreCableLoss" option was intended to do? Searching the GitHub source, it looks like the value is stored, but then nothing is done with it.
It does change the cable loss to be higher:https://github.com/Blood-Asp/G…taTileEntities.java#L1249
I thought i wrote it already often enough, but to repeat it again: There will be nothing added to actively reduce pollution. The only way ever will be to let it fade away on it's own.
Using higher tier machines allows to produce more while the same pollution happens. For multiblocks you install better muffler hatches.
And its time for GregTech update 5.09.26!

Modular armor now has a config to change its values. Balancing proposals would be nice.
The steam machines store steam really as steam, but the scanner reads the energy value of the stored steam. So it is actually the scanner confusing people here.
The Alloy Smelter is the most steam hungry GT steam machine and constantly running it takes a bunch of boilers. I think 3 or 4 was the right number.
I my case i start using it by running the boiler until it's internal tank is almost full and then put a small amount of materials inside, so it does not run out. About 3-4 runs should work if i remember right.
I do not really understand why you disconnect the pipes? Give the machines only so much material to process so they will not run out of steam. They will not use any when not working.
But the tool you are likely looking for is the soft hammer/mallet. Hit a machine with it to turn it off.
After that i recommend to upgrade the steam storage asap with some tank. For example railcraft or whatever you have in your modpack.
Seems to be GT++ and not GT itself.
Is this bug?
Scanner is not accepting the IV Piston and Data Stick. It worked for the motor and pump but not the piston. I tried this for the new scanner, new piston and new data stick.
Also, in this setup, when I remove the data stick from the scanner, it disappears.
Yes, a bug. But did just fix it and uploaded a new build to OneDrive.
These centrifuge recipes could get removed without breaking anything and are just for lazy players.
They are meant to be inefficent. The correct way to get Plutonium is in the IC2 nuclear reactor.
To make the whole nuclear reactor system more technical correct would need a bigger rewrite where i'm the one too lazy doing that for now. Still, i'm always open for help, the code is on github.
The crash looks more like some memory error or issues with the java VM and not some mod error.
And currently i recommend updating to .25. No real important fixes so far in .26.
You mean so little? 
No, that is fine, but better you read a bit in the wiki if you start at that point. https://ftb.gamepedia.com/GregTech_5_Unofficial
Somehow forgot about it since the bug annoyed me. Did reopen the issue to not forget it again.
.23 Gets the fixes of old bugs and then reuploaded until the new material system seems fully stable, so no one has to care much about unstable worlds.
But .25 should be mostly working fine by now and new features will come only on that branch now. A bit like the 5.08->5.09 move, but this time if possible much faster moving on.
