With Gregtech though, how do you get 4.5 million blocks that aren't cobble?
You can even get that from cobble :
Cobble + Universal macerator = Gravel + Flint (10%)
Gravel and flint are both recycleable.
[PS: Universal macerator is not that cheap, i know, but thats your problem, i use several of them for my scrap factory.]
People just have to think more and play around with all the mods they have (stupid farms generating junk are another option)
It does, but it's pretty ... expensive for mass production for that purpose. I was suggesting something mid-game for that purpose only, probably powered by EU (so that it's not OP). Otherwise - yes, they do it
Just use an input (or output) hatch of multiblock machines, they work wonderfully as "liquid transposers".
scrap and energy are still very easy to generate in massive amounts, even for those who doesnt play 24 h per day.
Use your mind and reactors for quick power, then overclocked recyclers for quick scrap.
There is a new generator coming up in LevelStorage.
You will be able to contain an entire micro-sun in your base...
And there will be supa-dupa fancy rendering to it.Spoiler:
The name of this generator starts with "Thermonu...."
Let me guess, "Thermonuclearfusiongenerator"
You could call it "StarPower Generator", as it uses the power of an artificial star (sun) to generate energy.
Hello. I have a problem. When I try to carry uranium (U238 or U235) with me I'm dying of it.
I wearing a Full hazmat suit.I am using version 2.0.271.
Thanks
Are you wearing the exact 4 parts i mentioned on my previous post, before you pickup U238/U235 ?
Closed. :3
If you are going to keep discussing about radiation, do it at my recently, but still alive, thread.
Biggest problem with current e-net is you can't pull more than one cable out of a transformer block. If I downstepped from 512->128 and tried to feed ind. grinder+blast furnace with cables connected to different transformer outputs both stalled. I needed to have a transformer per machine instead :\
Or you could have used a tranformer upgrade on each and use HV, saving space.
as the current experimental e-net is, i don't care for it. it isn't the cables, it is the storage blocks. you used to be able to pipe in the eu limit per side. now it is cumulative. IE 32 eu max from any source into a batbox, and so on.
this becomes difficult with generators that fluctuate the amount of power they output, especially in tandem. i just blew up a cesu because i had one line running 128eu/t to it from a reactor, while a line from my passive generators was supplying 12eu/t.
this adds a bit too much rigidity to power grids. all my power basically now has to be routed to a single storage block, and has to be less than that block's max intake. i then have to step it through my base, with no auxiliary power feeds in.so rather than rant and run, i'm going to make a suggestion: capacitors.
a capacitor would be a transformer-storage hybrid. it would accept up to 1 tier above it's output(cumulative), and would buffer the excess energy(appropriate for it's tier) when space is available. functionally, it would be no different than putting a batbox directly behind a transformer, with one exception...if it's capacity is exceeded, it will stop working rather than blow up...unless a full 2 tiers of excess power is applied (ie 512+ to a 32 eu capacitor). this block would need to be manually reset by the player in the block's gui(no redstone reset). The capacitor would then start blinking and/or buzzing. a circuit breaker is something i have long wanted to see in IC2. redstone behavior would be emit if storage is empty, breaker is tripped, eu in storage, internal storage full, power is entering and/or leaving, etc. optionally, the capacitor may heat up and trip if the internal storage is full for too long. a display in the gui as to why it was tripped could be useful aswell.
To deal with current e-net :
Have a storage block of high tier, preferrably much more than you can generate, then use tons of transformers to decrease the EU/t as needed (or transformer upgrades).
For example, you should use a MFE (or even a mfsu) if you have a 128 EU/t power gen line, then making transformers on the way to reduce the EU/t flow to meet a machine requirement, then if you are not careful the wiring will be really messy and it will be very easy to blow something up if you misplace a wire/machine.
Full hazmat suit :
Scuba Helmet
Hazmat chestplate
Hazmat leggings
Rubber boots.
Uranium processing :
Uranium Ore + Macerator -> Crushed Uranium ore
Lower yielding route :
Crushed Uranium ore + Thermal Centrifuge -> U238 + U235
Higher yielding route :
Crushed Uranium ore + Ore washer -> Purified Crushed Uranium ore
Purified Crushed Uranium ore + Thermal Centrifuge -> U238 + U235
U238 + U235 = Enriched Nuclear Fuel
Iron item casing + metal former (extruder mode) = Empty fuel rod
Enriched Nuclear fuel + Empty Fuel rod + canning machine (canning mode) = Fuel rod (Uranium)
Fuel rods can be used on nuclear reactors alongside other components.
Remember to always use hazmat suits when handling uranium and plutonium.
NEI shows it perfectly for me the ore washer and thermal centrifuge recipes, when pressing "U" while hovering crushed uranium ore.
Really? I can't believe that all the server owners are wiping their maps by each game update
Most of them really do, because they don't want (or don't have the ability) to solve all the problems that comes upon updating.
1.2.5, I'd say your server version is too outdated to be able to keep the world, for various reasons (terrain generation, MC block IDS...) , as mentioned above.
If you REALLY want to update, you should make a new world.

and don't forget that i said that he could somewhat try to recycle the LESU "stupid block" detection code for that sake.
Are you using the special version of forestry that is for IC² experimental? If not, thats your problem.
Remember that Item id values are offset by 256 (forget if its positive or negative) in the config versus ingame.
Ingame are ID of config + 256, and that IS an ID conflict, solve it by yourself, good luck.
Diamond Dust is not really healthy for Humans. The Diamond Dust inside the Water usually cuts everything into pieces.
In 1000 ways to die, I saw someone doing Cocaine + Gunpowder after he weighed his Diamonds, without cleaning the Table before. He sliced himself to death by breathing that Stuff.
Slice and Dice :3
No, there is a 1.6.2 IC²-lf (classic branch, discontinued) and addons updated to it.
I'm still not sure what that thing is, but it seems it is something i should delete, agreed?
according to his sentence, yes.
Some IC² addons are not updated to IC² experimental API, by the way.
