I tried one last weekend on creative and it worked, using a GT large bronze/Steel boiler, I think It was facing West, GT 5u.19.
Can anyone help with those questions, please?
How much energy a 100% Large Steam Turbine produces using optimal steam flow?
There's a ratio between optimal flow-EU/t (what is it)?
There's any problem for inputing more steam than optimal?
Sorry about all those questions, couldn't find an updated wiki...
I tried Galacticraft 306. Electrolyzer shows that it contains GT oxygen, it tries to output to input hatch, but it happily refuses. I have a feature request. Take a line:
https://github.com/Blood-Asp/G…tity_Hatch_Input.java#L64
and do something like return true if config says so. That should work.
Electrolyzing water gives Oxygen cells and Hydrogen as Fluid, right?
I didn't knew that the input hatch accepted automatically outputted cells, does it?
If so, it will make my life so much easier, why didn't I thought about that before?
Yeah, realised that last night. Feel silly now...
The TC use golem will constantly attempt to harvest the crop. Once mature it will harvest. But seriously, use IC2 crop harvester. It works in a great area and doesnt use much energy.
Crops will grow faster if given fertilizer and water (either manually or from cropmatron), however they don't need them. Except for high stat (growth gain and resistance > 20ish) combined with high tier crops.
Yeah, that was what I thought, even they being great to plant things, I don't think that they would recognize a fully grown plant on the crop stick.
I think I will enable IC2 machines, seems to be the easier way.
Thanks Doggy and Kitty, you were very helpful, as always (thanks to you too, Dohva, but I'm not ready to try a new mod yet 
).
Oh, no, I just want the new crops, didn't knew if the fertilizer would be needed to this (also, I assume that the Swamp biome and the +240 elevation isn't required to that end too, am I right?)
Thank you very much!
Edit: While here, does anyone knows a way to automate the harvest using IC2 crop sticks, besides using IC2 machines?
I have Thaumcraft 4.2, but I doubt that the golems will interact with crop sticks (maybe the "use" golem can right click the crop, don't know if it will recognize a fully grown crop though)...
Maybe I will have to enable the IC2 machines after all...
Hey guys, I want to start to mess with cross breeding, and was reading
some tutorials, saying that I will need a Crop analyzer and a
Crop-matron.
I don't use IC2 machines, so I don't have those - but I
read that Gregtech's Scanner function as a Crop Analyzer, but about the
Crop-Matron?
It is really necessary to fertilize plants on the crop sticks, or it
will just speed the growth? Can I do it manually?
Hey Asp, I really appreciate what you are doing with Gregtech 5, and I am looking forward for the things you plan to implement (research ftw).
One thing I love about Thaumcraft and I feel we need on Gregtech, are the new shinny things we unlock about every tier of research: Boots of the Traveler, the Tools and magical weapons with awesome effects, the flying chest armor, etc...
I think that this is what you're trying to do (I hope so), every tech tier could have some nice things aside processing machines, so I wanted to give some suggestions:
*Piston Boots: Low tech. Crafted from a pair of bronze boots, pistons, some springs, etc;
You charge it with steam at the boiler, and while equipped, you can use a hotkey to activate the pistons, giving a jump boost of 4 or 5 blocks. After using, It needs about 5 seconds to activate again (you can hear the steam or/and metallic sound when it's armed again).
With higher tech, you can make a module to equip on your boots giving about the same effect.
*Scuba helmet: Underwater Breathing. Last time I tried the Hazmat + air cells, (GT4) I was very disappointed, it used the air cells too fast! This could be only an helmet and an Air tank, with capacity to about 10 mins (or more with higher tiers).
*Auto crossbow: I am a FFVI fan, and Edgar's auto crossbow was awesome. It could use an electric engine and a have a battery slot, making about the same tier of the electric tools (could be available before the electric blast furnace). Less range and damage than a bow, but with incredible fire rate and cheap bolts so we can hold the trigger and make it rain bolts. Rain-bolts... hmm, I liked how it sounds;
*Iron Steve armor: High tech (endgame) - Not really iron, but made of and Titanium-gold alloy or something.
With thrusters, tiny rocket launcher and lasers, you know what I mean. You need a enter into a Multiblock machine with robot arms to equip/remove it, and uses A LOT of energy, probably a Fusion reactor would be needed. This is my dream. An hotkey to open the helmet visor would be cool too.
Thank you, and keep up this great work!
Man, thanks a lot, I read a lot about it, but I let that detail pass...
I am considering that, but I will start to produce aluminum soon, and want to keep the blast furnace running for the longest time possible.
I tested the railcraft tank in creative, but to keep 3 basic steam turbines running after storing the steam, I would need more than 4 basic pumps cover on pipes to remove the steam from the tank on the needed rate, would be a weird setup.
I have a little Thaumcraft golem tree farm + infernal furnace to get charcoal fast, but the problem is that the chop golem cover just a small area. Will try the lamp of growth tonight to speed the process.
According to post #4 of this thread, 1 bucket (1000L) of creosote burns in a large boiler for 15 ticks, and according to the FTB wiki, charcoal will burn for 20 ticks. If you put 4 logs in a single coke oven, that will take 7200 ticks to make 4 charcoal and 1000L creosote, which will power the boiler for 95 ticks, so as near I can figure, you would need 7200/95=75.8 coke ovens to keep a large boiler running constantly (though that's not taking into consideration how long it might take for the fluid and items to be piped to the boiler, so you might actually end up needing a few more).
Wow, thank you very much!
I would need 7904 sand (123,5 stacks) and 9880 clay (154,375 stacks) to build those.
Seems that I will need another way to keep it running...
How many Coke Ovens would I need to keep a Large Bronze Boiler running, assuming that I am using Wood Logs to generate the charcoal and creosote, and feeding the boiler with both?
I remember that, last time I've seen that, I could still pull the item from the crafting slot, even if it won't show it.
I have no words to thank you about that, I was trying to find a guide to mod Gregtech for a while.
And all the work you put this GT5u too, I finally returned to my old GT5 savegame.
Hi Pyro,
I'm kinda new to texture packs, does this cover vanilla blocks, as well?
If no, can you recommend one that would fit well with your pack?
Great work, btw, thanks for sharing with us.
