Making a vein map is one of the most important step in Gregtech when you have made your Ore processing chain. Following Bear steps, I have digged more than 50 chunk borders (to check 4 chunk at once, so almost 200 chunks checked) and only found two manganese veins, for instance (but they were enough for Tantalite, hopefully).
How does that Bear's method exactly work ? I try to dig in the center of every 3*3 chunk, which works quite well, but your method seems to check chunks quicker
I'm kind of surprised that GT 5U doesn't do this. I'm just getting into creating my first Multifarm, and the Assembler recipe for tubes requires Medium Voltage. Not directly, it's just that the recipe requires molten glass, which in turn requires MV, like almost all molten materials except rubber and tin. Just building a Themionic Fabricator instead was a lot easier, since I've yet to achieve MV tech. The fact I could bypass this felt like a bit of a cheat.
The less-expensive Forestry gear recipes are disabled. The Thermal Dynamics cheaper gears, which duplicate Forestry's recipes, are not, but I assume that's because GT 5U isn't really aware of Thermal Dynamics. I'm using Thermal Dynamics for fluid pipes that are better behaved than GT's.
The wiki doesn't really detail how Thermal Dynamics fluidpipes behave with each fluid. It says that the fluid transfer rate is inversely proportional to its viscosity, but how can we calculate it ? What is the rate for Steam for example ? Water and lava, hydrogen ? Does it know the viscosity of every GT Fluid ? I'm looking for a mod that has friendlier pipes than GT (sorry) but can still transfer the huge amounts of fluids required, but I can't find a suitable one.
Moreover, one additional thing - after installing GT in console ive got this:
"[21:35:14] [Client thread/INFO]: If your Log stops here, you were too impatient. Wait a bit more next time, before killing Minecraft with the Task Manager.
[21:39:34] [Client thread/INFO]: Congratulations, you have been waiting long enough. Have a Cake."
In that time CPU usage drops to 50% (yes, old one) and nothing happens in meantime. In that time GT is silently setting up everything or it is just Greg joke to check my patience?
If I remember correctly, during this time, Gregtech scans all the items to check and put them in ore dictionnaries, that's why it's quite long : it has to check every item to categorize it.
Oh god I'm dumb, it has to go on a spot where there were originally sticky resin, ok that's more cleat now, thanks a lot !
The rubber tree sap liquid is from IHL Tools and Machines, involving a leather sack to collect it, and fairly simple to automate, as explained in the IHL wiki here: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com…y_resin_production_branch
But how are the leather sack supposed to work ? I tried several times, and never got any liquid rubber.
I grew an IC2 rubber tree, placed a tree sack on the second log (just below the leaves), and put a GT fluid pipe under it. IIRC they are supposed to output into it automatically, so where am I wrong ?
Just updated to Forestry 4.1 and GT 5.09.11. The world doesn't load half of the time and just takes me back to the menu saying "violent error", no crash report.
And I got this crash, when looking for the charcoal pit recipe in NEI :

Not sure if it's GT side or Forestry's so I haven't put it on GitHub yet
The oil drilling rig is a rig that drill for oil
, you can get oil and gas from under the bedreck with it.
If the oil is pumped from under the bedrock, do I need to restart a world/reset chunks to get oil or will it retrogen and add oil in the already existing chunks when I update from 5.08 to 5.09 ?
(I'm not sure what retrogen means : it means that even if the chunk is already created, it will still spawn oil, right ? )
And about the pyrolyse oven (I haven't upgraded to 5.09 yet and there is no wiki page about it), which technology does it need ? I saw it needs ULV casings, but apart from that, which voltage and maybe something undoable without a certain tier of machines ?
When using a Railcraft tank, is there any limitation on the input and output rate imposed by the iron/steel valves or the limitations are given by the pump rate and pipes capacity ?
Concerning the current IHL issue, do you know if IHL is completely playable with only the GT Oregen or if I need to custom the GT oregen ? I mean, can I put IHL back in my pack when it'll be updated, without having to regenerate the world and still be able to use it completely ? (i know IHL adds ores even with GT but idk if they are already spawned by GT)
GtE being... ? Gt5u exp 5.09.00 and more ? But nice, GT extras for GT5 would be nice aswell. Thanks a lot !
Is GT-Extras still developped (even if at a slow rate) or not at all because of a lack of time (GT5u) or anything else ? Because it seems like a really nice add-on ! That would be awesome to have a more completed version !
Oh ok, thanks
And I have a question about oregen : I guess the GT6 oregen is similar to the GT5 one, but what are the sand veins compared to the regular ones ? A completely independant generation or just a part of a regular vein that is visible from the ground with the sand ores ?
Crash report with GT 6.00.55 (forge 1492) :
I don't have any crash with 6.00.53
I don't think its needed to wash manually more than 10 stacks of anything, before washing machine can be built.
Plus the fact that most of the impure dusts are more or as efficient than the pure dusts early game (except redstone), so no need to wash tons of stacks of dusts
By the way, concerning the dynamites, do they blow up items that are on the ground like a regular tnt or not ? I blew up a part of a vein and ended with too few ores compared to what I should have received, but I don't know why
Is there a zinc vein in the default configuration ? I looked it up in the ftb wiki and in the configs but I can't find any zinc (or anything that gives zinc) vein, and in my world I found ~30 veins, none gives zinc, so I was wondering : do I miss something or I should make a custom vein containing zinc ?
I'd say some glass on top of your solar boilers, I think it worked with the IC2 solar panels so maybe it also works with the GT ones. But it must be a bug and not an intended feature, otherwise there would have been complaints about that before (I'm not sure about what I'm saying here)
And still, if it's not a bug, it should be able to resist to rain and lightning
Ok, so I don't have to get worry a corrypted world or anything ? Thanks
Could'nt it be IHL ? It's the only one in my modpack that has unusual ores and that don't seem to spawn (or maybe I haven't been looking enough for them) (edit : found a IHL vein so nope that's not it)
Using .23, I have an issue with gt.blockores.0.name that look like stone and drops cobblestone, so the block doesn't update when broken down, I don't know if it's a common issue in this version
(it doesn't change anything using a silk touch pick)
