couple missing textures from the newest update. argon and helium. found these during the update video I made for the current update.

We run GT5.09.xx on Thylacraft with forge 1588. you just cant run the versions between 1428-1481. anything above is fine.

update video for 5.09.22pre for anyone interested

ok thanks, I can't wait to try it out. nice addition

in most recent update the assembly line and diesel generator controllers have the same recipe

ya that did it, thanks bloody, btw unless I am missing it somehow the magnalium alloying recipe is missing in NEI. It has the nuggets and ingot plate recipe and a few recycling things but not the magnesium and aluminum recipe.

can anyone tell me why this isn't forming the multiblock?
I tested in a live stream tonight, I tried adding a muffler, changing out the EV dynamo for HV, and changing the hatch to the opposite spot on the side with just one hatch.

if your interested in seeing the testing, its about a 3 hour video

thanks man I will try that out, I didn't try the liquid oxygen. I was thinking there would be a canning recipe for the canisters.

bloody, is there anyway to use GT oxygen for GC oxygen? I tried it the other day in my GT5 video and I had to go ahead and make a oxygen collector.

the seismic prospector isn't a multiblock, the miner if memory servers does a 5x5 chunk area witch is a multiblock.

glad it helped don't feel bad we all have our moments!

rather than trying to explain it I made a short tutorial of it and took this picture.

small ores can drop gems, and crushed ore can be sifted to try and get gems from it.

the fuel and diesel will or should still work just fine in a diesel generator. I believe your issue maybe the association of the fluid, it should default to GT fluid diesel from even the refinery. also the BC fluid pipes should work unless your in a weird pack that blocks them, GT doesn't afaik. use a pump as a cover on a fluid pipe(GT) and it will extract from any tank including the BC refinery.

you, if memory servers, can make fuel(diesel) with GT distilleries but you need to make the sulfur versions then run them threw a chemical reactor to de-sulfurize it.

personally I would stick with steam at this point, you can make a lot of power with steam but that is just me.

hope this helps

witch generator? the first generator is typically a turbine with takes steam, then you have gas turbines and diesel generators. gas is methane and hydrogen, etc. diesel is for fuel, ethanol, etc. all semi fluids are burned in large boilers (multiblock) now like oil and creosote'

no offence taken man, I do all my videos in survival for a reason, damn near no one else does. If people want creative videos to tell them everything then there are plenty out there, but not what I am going for with mine. that is why my videos, except for the few "tutorial" videos are all labeled LP.

Glad you figured this out and good luck!

malefactor, you may want to look up Tech Reborn, it is made to be easier, less nerf'd, and with less of a learning curve from GT4 since it is based off of GT2 - GT4.

you will also find that with GT5 you have all new ore generation with many materials you cant get though processing vanilla and standard modded ores. the new ore generation is a 1 large vein per 3x3 chunk and small ores scattered thought the area. this makes for a just drop a quarry and go way of playing almost impossible. most will either tunnel at specific levels to find veins or do a 3x3 grid type core sampling. there is a miner for GT5.09 branch but it is later tiered.

I would suggest starting at the beginning and learning toward late/end game rather than starting at the end and trying to work backwards. start a fresh world, turn off all other mods in NEI but GT and go from there. adding other mods as you see a need. think of GT5 as a modpack base rather than just a mod.

also GT solar panels will work in array configurations just using wires to place the panels on then into transformers and or bat buffs.

If your just doing creative testing grab a battery buffer the tier your using so LV for LV machines, and lithium batteries to put into it. then just hook them up and see if the power drains from the batteries. Aso the back of GT5 machines are outputs unless you use a wrench to move it or a screwdriver to tell it to allow input. I have a YT series on GT5 that may help you get starter.

All GT5 machines run on a tier system so you cant just hook a ultimate solar panel up to say a LV machine, that would blow it up if it connected. Ultimate solar panels along with any other regular IC2 addon or IC2 generators can't connect straight to GT power grids. you need to connect a IC2 transformer to GT transformer to change from single amp IC2 to GT multiple amp system.

GT5 also doesn't start at electrical power, it starts at a bronze/steam age that needs to be worked trough before you can make and use electricity.

I had a similar idea where you had set value for each material kinda like the atomic number, but a bit different do to balance. then the more complex, or rare a material was the more EU and UU needed. but the UU would be just a base, you would need to add in the elemental material, protons & electrons, from the recycled materials. UU would be from everything recycled, think of it as neutrons. stone and such would only give that UU call it UUN. then you would need to add UUE and UUP to it to get to the atomic number your wishing to create. then everything could be recycled. the only thing I would blacklist would be microblocks and and such. parts or machines would need to be recycled in arc furnace or macerator first.

on Thylacraft servers we try to stay spread out by at least 1000 blocks for building and such but mining is kind of a first come first server thing, but we are very community oriented so if someone is in need we try to help them out or even tell them of a vein we have found and don't currently need.
