Wasn't i annoying to wait for cool GT5 machines and then greg makes food? On the other side: Give me textures, i will give you food. The actual coding should only take a few minutes.

Very.

It was also annoying to find out that the last several posts on my favorite thread are all connected to food :p

Blood do you know how to make GT covers yet? Is it tricky?

I have a thought floating in my head about GT covers but since it runs against the grain of standard GT progression I might have to try implementing it myself.

I was talking about the tower doing the same work as the ic2 fermenter, produce biogas and the diesel gen do the same work as ic2 semifluid, consume biogas.

Since that was my ideal route, I'm down with that My only concern might be balancing the numbers and keeping the output reasonable.

It occurs to me you keep referring to ic2 semifluid. I'm starting to suspect I set up a giant fluidheat/stirling array for absolutely no reason. I also suspect you warned me about this in 2014 and I forgot about it.

Well, the IC2 thing would be a tier on its own, being the lowest. GT would scale up the production, consumption and efficiency.

IC2 fermenter and IC2 semifluid can't quite produce or consume biogas (the fluid should not be altered, just add it to GT diesel gen) at the same rate a GT distillation tower would produce and a GT diesel generator would consume.

I'm confused. I wanna say this makes sense but I'm not actually following it properly.

Right now we have:
Biochaff -> Canner/Enricher -> Fermenter(IC2) -> FluidHeatGenerators(IC2)

Ultimately I'd hope to see something like this as an additional option:
Biochaff -> Canner/Enricher -> Distillation Tower(GT) -> Diesel Engine(GT)

Alternatively I'd also be completely happy with:
Biochaff -> Canner/Enricher -> Fermenter(IC2) -> Distillation Tower(GT) -> Diesel Engine(GT)
(So we'd be distilling crappy-IC2-Biogas into high-grade Ethanol. Notwithstanding that they're theoretically the same thing, but we can assume IC2 is lower grade if we want)

I'd like to *avoid* this as the sole option although its fine as an additional option:
Biochaff -> Canner/Enricher -> Fermenter(IC2) -> Distillation Tower(GT) -> FluidHeatGenerators(IC2)

The distillation tower and single block distillery are two different thingies, aren't they?
I meant a 512V recipe for the tower which is a multiblock. If you're planning to use the single block distillery a 32-128V recipe should suffice.

Sorry for being unclear here dude, my bad.

The single block I'm referring to is the Diesel generator. I'm trying to make an argument to possible convert IC2 biomass into a fuel that will burn in a single GT Diesel GEnerator instead of (512/16) fluid heat generators.

I hate spamming machines and since the IC2 variant doesn't have an upgraded/tiered option, and we're working with a GT machine now (the distillation tower), GT-burnable biofuel is more appealing.

There's not really any reason to convert it back to IC2 biogas of course. Once you introduce GT to the system you might as well keep it GT and allow running it in the diesel generator.

Granted I don't like a single block producing 512eu/t, but I prefer that to the limited 16eu/t you get from fluid heat/stirling gens.

Blood do you think it would be worthwhile to allow the distillation tower to process IC2 biomass? We discussed biomass a few days ago but it currently only processes Forestry biomass not the IC2 variant.

I have no idea what balanced numbers would be in this case.

lol you could just do what I do: make the cropsticks black for weeds, that stands out real nicely. I like to think that the weeds corrupted the cropsticks :p

Woops, see what I mean? (brown vs green, ugh, they're the same damn thing)

Yeah I usually alter my own textures in the same way, I just thought it would be easier to use yours this time since I tend to have to redo the same work each time, not knowing how to make my own resource packs etc.

Anyway like I said, just a friendly FYI, nbd

Choco I finally got around to checking this out tonight. Just wanted to let you know they weeds are essentially invisible to red-green colorblind peeps.

Since I know you're just sharing something you made for yourself I don't actually expect you to do anything about it at all, I just wanted to give you the FYI

The distillation tower is magnificent, dang.

Is there any way for me to tell which recipes it has? I was able to do biomass and 16 oil cells. Did Blood Asp add anything else?

Quote from Rikenbacker

Thank you for this awesome port.
But i have one little request. Can you add to Energy Detector Cover two additional modus: "Normal percentage of battery charge" and "Inverted percentage of battery charge"?
I hope this request will be interesting for you.

This would be for detecting energy in a battery buffer?

If so I second this idea.

Quote from Queue

Maybe a really cheap (just high volumes of metal) pump that is extremely large, and inefficient. By large, I mean 30 blocks tall.

Dunno about 30 blocks (that's crazy-tall) but I gotta agree; a large cumbersome inefficient drilling method is definitely a good idea.

Oddly I could have sworn I heard this exact same issue on the main infitech2 thread after a recent update. I couldn't remember if it was the main infitech thread or the private one for the forthcoming pack.

Any indications of the general stability of this yet? It'd be awesome if it was at a level where it could be used on a live server!

I've been using it for over a week now. There were a couple minor recipes missing but they've been fixed. No other issues at all for me.

I'm stupidly excited about some of the things he's added and/or tweaked.

Quote from Blood Asp

Next version:
- Maintenance can be disabled in MachineStats.cfg.
- Fixed Machine Control covers.
- Fixed Crowbar.
- Added Magic Energy Absorber (4 Tiers)includes Dragon Egg Energy Siphon and can harvest Thaumcraft Energized Nodes. Absorbing of enchantments and usage of Ender Crystal coming soon.

Next update will take a few days. Planned: Tiered Quantum Chest/Tank.

Woo

Quote from Blood Asp

And the next version is out: This time the Soldering Iron is back! Even as MetaTool!

Needs Tin/Lead/Soldering Alloy Rods/Fine Wires in Inventar to work.

Also a few bugfixes. Have fun.

hah so awesome

Blood Asp my new life goal is to become absurdly rich, and pay greg so much money that he has no choice but to adopt you into the GT team officially. I 10k USD won't do it but lets see him shrug off 10m USD in his face.

Aw, don't tease us man. How can I find the changes :p

Quote from SpwnX

I just read that "inofficial" is a rare form of spelling, not ever found on your common english. Obsolete.

Damn straight

Blood Asp, you should throw the mod up on github. Who knows, I might issue a pull request here and there.

Funny thing with words is, any word can be called "proper" if enough people decide it is.

That said: you'll never, ever find a published book written in English (fiction, non-fiction or technical) with the word "Inofficial" in it, except in parody, or as a typo. To me that's the criteria for "proper."

Blood Asp, tiiiiiiiiiny little item: Can you change subject to "Unofficial" instead of "Inofficial" (which isn't a word)
