It does extra damage to players, and ignores any nano or power armor they have on

The nanosaber was intended for PVP, not PVE, AFAIR

Sorry if I missed it but, how much HP steam is put out by the LHE on each of the chip settings? I tried to do the math myself but it seems off.

I included a spreadsheet. It's OpenOffice format.

If this math is correct, I would need ELEVEN large HSS-E turbines to handle most of it!

Necroing in the hopes there's one for the new IC2 and the new GT5U crops. Been trying to get Scheelinium for weeks. If I knew it's attributes (I am assuming 'metal' is one) maybe it could help. This was a top result when I was searching for gregtech crop attributes.

AFAIK you still need metal blocks for bees as well as the plants. So without GT5 ores generating, you're SOL. Don't use skyblock

AWWW YEAH!

It's usefulness is in alloys. It's weight is too much for wood and would bend steel, theoretically. Hence tungsteel.

Bismuth is a fairly heavy metal so I don't see why it wouldn't need a tungsteel rod.

But a better question is why would you even want to?

Are bronze machines supposed to be recycleable in the arc furnace? 'Cuz they're not working and I thought they were. I can macerate for bronze but I figured the arc would work.

Edit: Oops, forgot oxygen. Derp.

BTW, this was helpful to me for knowing what the new stuff does:

From our very own bear.

I've never seen a diesel *turbine*, but i've seen plenty of generators. IBM had numerous enormous ones with a kinetic wheel based capacitor and a more traditional Lion battery pack. The rig was a rather large room and they had several spread out across the complex.

Fun fact: The flywheels were either osmium or contained osmium, I forget which. Basically a motor slowly spins up a huge, very heavy disc which reaches a certain peak speed. In the event of a power outage, the polarity flips and the flywheel turns the motor to generate electricity. It has a fast switchover speed and surprisingly high amount of capacity for not being a battery, comparable to supercapacitors. They provide a bit of time until the diesel genny cranks up and peaks. The kinetic capacitors also have surprisingly good efficiency, a bit better than Lion in terms of energy in/energy stored.

Any good servers still alive? I want to see how others progress and have set-up to help figure out the point 9 branch and some of the higher aspect in general. Also is they a gt machine to work with ic2 fluid reactors to generate either power or steam a bit more efficiently?

We're still kicking, and i'm considering opening a new third 'brutal-hard mode' server if there's enough interest in a post-apoc survival-theme version.

Is there a difference?

^ I just learned a thing.

Well poop and crud.
Personally, I wish we could remove all the Metallurgy Mod crap- that'd free up a freaking ton of materials. But i'm biased against it.

What about removing polycaprolactam? Albeit realistic it has no use really besides making string from oil..
That's at least one material freed up.

And is it not possible for GT5U to call another, add-on mod to allow more materials in it's recipes?

So you can't actually remove materials? Or add an add-on mod to allow more? This is the end?

Quote from Blood Asp

New machines are still possible. About 20000 machine ids left. Only new materials is not possible and needs a new material system (aka. GT6)

Is there no way to remove useless materials like Terbium to regain a few? Or even a second mod to add additional stuff, required to be paired with GT, like how Growthcraft does it?

And to the post above me:

Why? How does gluing a plate to the outside of a machine keep it's internals from becoming damaged during operation? Besides, maintenance is a barely occuring thing. I run my blast furnace, oil distillery, and bronze boiler damn near 24/7 and so far i've only had to repair them a combined 5 times. Big woop. Nothing of value was lost there- including time. If anything i'd increase the frequency, 'cuz god knows working at the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Factory nothing IRL goes 24 hours without a breakdown of some sort!

He has a good point on the massfab PA thing. there's really no reason for it, plus it would not be easy to implement without totally re-doing Mass Fabs, which there is no reason to do. He'd be more likely to make a multi-block super-mass-fab than that. But since apparently GT5U is out of item slots I don't think there's anything else that can be added anymore.

Make a bigger redwheat farm and/or more of them.

I have a barrel of 2,056 stacks of calcite from my fertilia farms. It fills in about 3 days. I'm sure you can do the same with redwheat.

(The fertilia farms feed my mass-fertilizer-production to feed my quantaria, reactoria, cyprium, stargatium, starwart, glowwheat, oilberry, and transformium crops. IT'S ALL 100% AUTOMATED! AAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! *Thundercrash*)
