Using one of Bear's many minetweaker scripts to fix the recipe until an official fix.

Major problem in 5.09.01: You cannot apply rubber sheets or rubber to copper wire and thus cannot make circuits. The only recipe to do so is in the assembler using molten rubber. For which you obviously need to have made circuits and generators, etc. a long time ago.

Bug: The achivement for washed ores doesn't seem to work. I got piles of washed ore and nadda.

TYPO: "Electric Problems" achievement flavor text: "Loose a Machine due to Overvoltage" should read "Lose a machine due to overvoltage".

One o' them pet-peeves of mine.

Also:
"Batterys" should be "Batteries".

Thanks for the fix!

Finally giving this mod a try. Since there's been little activity on the GT6 server lately. No new content = no new players, less playing players, less reason for me to log in.

I do miss my machines. <3

If you're not interested in food, then might I suggest new chemical dissolution methods? Kinda like how IHL lets you take chalocpyrite or pentlandite and disolve it in nitric acid to get blue and green vitriol, then electrolyze to get sulfuric acid, copper/nickel, and a tiny pile of polymetallic sludge, when can then be centrifuged to get various rare earth metals.
That long chain, but with more materials, such as Greg's 'rare earth', monazite, netherrack, etc. In the case of IHL, it was a source of iridium and osmium at an incredible cost with a painfully large production chain that is quite hard to automate fully, and requires enormous power (>300 EU/t) even with all low-voltage equipment, as well as a constant supply of oxygen and nitrogen to make nitric acid, and post-processing of the sulfuric acid as a waste product (batteries anyone?! XD)

It's a long chain, but it's very efficient in an ore-to-ore sense and gets you some nice stuff that is too 'finely divided' normally. (1 crushed pentlandite = 1 nickel, 1 sulfuric acid*, 1/9 polymetallic sludge. Each 9/9 PolyS = 10% chance each when centrifuged of 1/9 iridium, 1/9 osmium, 1/9 platinum, 1/9 palladium, 1/9 gold, and 50% chance of 1/9 silicon, IIRC)

When I was doing it with GT5, it was actually MORE costly in energy overall (and sliightly slower!) than just synthesizing osmium with my 512v replicator! XD However pre-replicator tech, it was nice. It was also fun as hell and made me feel super accomplished to set it up automated. (Almost as proud as I was for my 100% automatic nitro-diesel machine!)

IHL is nice but last time I tried to get it to work with GT6 it, obviously, couldn't. So i'd like to see that chemistry chain (AND CENTRIFUGABLE AIR CELLS) come back.

Carrot cake is delicious. It gives me laser vision.

Oh, you don't believe me because you don't have laser vision? Do you eat carrot cake? No? You hate it? Well then, there's your answer!

Carrot cake. Make carrots slightly more viable for food by way of extra processing!

Just a note that as a former industrial electrician, I have never heard nor seen anything beyond 144kV used for distance power transfer. High exists only suitable for very short distances. 144kV is the highest i've ever seen or heard of because much higher and materials just break down. At that voltage the flow has to be 'eased' in, if it's just put through instantly it vaporizes the aluminium into plasma instantly. I've done that. It's the ultimate nerdboner.
But yeah, it has to be brought up to amperage. Not sure why but if you were to just dump an amp in all at once, it would just vaporize.. but can do more if you grade it up over a few minutes.

Sounds reasonable, as long as it can get me to the 1950's.

IRL low-tech pumps exist (there's one someplace that's been going for like, 100 years? It was designed by that Derrick guy who actually invented them) and they're VERY, VERY efficient. But they are also uselessly slow by today's standards, only bringing up a few gallons of oil a day at their low points. However they will get damn near every drop given enough time, which is better than can be said about a lot of modern methods (such as fracking) that are more wasteful and initially costly, but very rapid and cost-effective.

I propose a modular system:
A 'low tech' method that works like an artesian well. You just work a manual hand-pump, and it is slow and painful and obnoxious. Like, you pump it five times and get 1mb. Small (1x1x2) and simple.
A weighted clockwork style Derrick, which is automatic, but even slightly slower than above. 1x2x2)
An automatic one that is mid-tech, requiring steam, produces at 3-5 times faster.
An automatic one that is high-tech, requiring electricity, produces 6-10 times faster.
And the above upgraded with water, uses 100mb at a time to increase speed by one tick up to a 300% increase in speed (at around 1500:30 water:oil ratio). Also contaminates the oil with water making it require an extra step to process.

Sounds nice but there needs to be a lower-tech way to do it. After all, we were pumping oil and making fuel long before datasticks, computers, or seismographs!

Just to verify, this IS comparible with GT6, right?

Also, any plans in the near future to add (assuming GT6 doesn't) naturally spawning oil, natural gas, and other natural fuel sources (ethanol), or gonna leave those to the more clunky and less balanced mods like BC and Forestry?

I don't use galacticraft but fully support it's er.. support.

If you work on magic tho, then I want a recipe to mix raw beef and holy water to make Holy Cow. Sates hunger AND acts like a bucket of milk!

I'd rather you stick to the modular armor and realistic tools and chemistry, rather than venture into the realm of fringe and psuedo science, or magic. After all, GT is a tech mod, and tech is da bomb!

Thanks bun, that's all super useful

I always clocked it in higher, but that sounds right when you factor in cable loss. Thanks bunny! *Hands his bunny to the bunny. Bunny^2*

Speaking of, I need to get more pics of MIPS
