I'm not sure what could lead to that warning message (unless maybe you're logged into Windows as "Guest") or why running it with that command would suddenly allow the planner to display when double-clicking the file didn't work.
I have an idea for how to eliminate it, but it involves removing a feature, so I will have to ask others on the main thread about my planner to make sure it won't upset people.
In the meantime, making a batch file with that command should work for you.
Okay, hadn't noticed before that using the filename of the jar by itself on command line would work (I think with older versions of Java and/or Windows it wouldn't), but that still suppresses error messages.
Could you please try the following command to see if it shows any error messages:
java -jar Ic2ExpReactorPlanner.jarAnyone know how far down an ore/metal block can be for metal plants to still detect it?
I'm curious because I got an idea to put like a copper, aluminium, and iridium block down below a dirt block to allow for any of those three plants to grow.
I think that depends on what the root length is set to for the plant. I haven't tried GT 5.09, so I don't know about the new crops it adds, but I tried once with Aurelia, and as far as I could tell, only the first block below the farmland block worked. However, both ferru and aurelia can reach the second-to-last stage of growth without ore or metal blocks below, and still have a small chance to drop a seed bag, so if the GT 5.09 crops behave similarly, it won't be critical to have the blocks there for initial breeding.
Sorry I took so long to respond to your multiple attempts to contact me about this, but it works for me, and I think several other forum members have used it sucessfully, so I need a bit more information to figure out why it isn't working for you:
1. Does the standalone V3 planner open for you?
2. If you run the experimental planner from command line, does it give any error message? (running it by double-clicking generally leaves Java with nowhere to show error messages)
That result matches what integer limits could cause: that amount multiplied by 100 but clipped to a 32 bit integer would become 1 381 954 804; then dividing by the capacity would give 18.
Edit: the mentioned threshold of 21.000.000 is also in line with integer limits (considering that it probably gets multiplied by 100 before dividing by the capacity to get a percentage), though to be more precise, I expect the threshold will actually be once it goes over 21.474.836 (since the maximum for a 32-bit signed int is 2147483647)
The IC2 nuclear reactor is a fission reactor, and making iridium from tungsten or osmium would be a fusion reaction. As far as atomic numbers go, the closest to iridium that exists with just IC2 is gold.
I searched online and didn't find anything saying this would work in real life, but I thought of a semi-believable way to do it in IC2: induce alpha decay in the gold by surrounding it with radioactive fuels - e.g. put a fuel rod filled with gold dust in a reactor, and surround it with 4 uranium/mox fuel rods (maybe require quads, but thorium rods would be insufficient). The gold fuel rod wouldn't actually produce heat or EU, but once it becomes depleted, it could be thermal-centrifuged for a small amount of iridium.
Is it normal to make a flint sword with Fire Damage on it? It seems really overpowered for the start. I think the flint tools are fine but not the sword. Can I disable just the sword or disable getting an effect on it when u make one? I was thinking in the recipe.cgf file B:toolHeadSwordFlint_true=false
Edit ... that didn't work, please assist.
recipes.cfg is mainly for machine-processing recipes. The lines about toolHeadSwordFlint are for the tool head separately, not the whole tool, and for being able to macerate/pulverize/rockcrusher said tool head. Flint tools are a special case where they are normally crafted directly without making tool heads first (in fact, by default, most flint tool heads are uncraftable; the exception being the arrow head). I think it might be possible to get either change using Minetweaker, but not easily, because GT swords of different materials are distinguish by NBT data rather than by metadata.
And I have a GT suggestion.
We already have a coolant for reactors. GT can add another coolant types for reactors. I am pretty sure, that there are several types, which are based on metals. Na-something. + Some metals in their molten state. mercury 100% had its uses in IRL nuclear reactors. Something like that.
I believe, these coolants could have simply a diferent multiplier for heat X hot coolant. default is 1 HU= 1mB of hot coolant. (If I am correct). So, these types would be able to eat more\less heat for different setups. I d like some better reactor components though.. or maybe better reactos. Naq maybe
In case you hadn't noticed, GT5u already has NaK and Helium coolant cells for nuclear reactors, and separate Naquadah reactors.
The second post of the "How I learned to stop worrying..." thread has reactor designs, including several that don't require GregTech components.
As far as how to open my reactor planner, it's an executable jar, so as long as you've got Java installed (which most PC Minecraft players already have done to be able to play Minecraft), you should be able to download it and double-click the file.
Have you looked at the below thread?

The "V3" planner is now over 3 years old, so I suggest using this one instead:
IC2 Experimental Reactor Planner open beta
Also, you seem to have made two almost-identical threads about this.
Display MoreI was thinking that the super conductor could have variable loss (cooling cost) depending on the ambient temperature of the dimension. For example, IGalacticraftWorldProvider, provides methods to get a getThermalLevelModifier() for that dimension. For example, over-world is hot with a value of 1.0, moon has a neutral value of zero, Mars has a cold value of -1.0, and Asteroids has a really cold value of -1.5. I am not sure how you would calculate the different loss, perhaps,
float loss = (getThermalLevelModifier() + 1.0) / 2; loss = loss >= 0 ? loss : 0;,
so that earth will still have a loss of 1 eu/t, moon will have a loss of 0.5 eu/t, and mars, asteroids, anything colder than -1 would have 0 loss.
Let me know what you think?
I can see some problems with that:
1. I think GregTech was deliberately avoiding floating-point calculations for cable losses.
2. It doesn't make sense to use a single ambient temperature across the entire overworld, given that it includes cold biomes like ice plains as well as hot biomes like desert.
3. Asteroids and the moon have no air of their own, and vacuum has zero thermal conductivity, so how do you figure those dimensions would be colder than the overworld?
How about a UUM crop as the ultimate crop?
Even if you set aside the balance issues, how would that function? Make it drop a universal fluid cell that's only partially filled with uu-matter?
When I'm looking through NEI for turbine blades I see all of these exotic sounding materials that I have no idea how to acquire. Are they for mod support for something like metallurgy? If so why are they present when metallurgy isn't? Is it out of necessity? It ends up cluttering things quite a bit (and getting me excited by having decent looking blades).
Many of the materials have ore blocks defined in GregTech, so one could technically edit WorldGeneration.cfg to make them obtainable, but personally I'd be happy if GT did a bit to determine if materials are probably obtainable (by checking that config and for mods that are known to generate the material by default) and hid the ones that seem unobtainable from NEI.
As far as what mods make certain materials available by default, this page has a good list:

I NEVER had to recharge my lithium+HV drill at all.
Seriously? I hadn't bothered making an MV or HV drill, figuring that they'd have increased power consumption to match the increased battery capacity, and an LV drill didn't make sense to use without some backup power (I'm currently using a charging lapotron crystal), given that it would run out of power faster than a GT diamond pickaxe would run out of durability.
It's also kind of hard to remove exact 1 durability from a reflector.
I'm not so sure about that. A stone button will work to run a single reactor tick at a time, right?
It wants 8x reflectors with 9999/10000 durability which isn't the durability present when they're crafted.
What build of IC2 are you running? I think a recent IC2 build changed them to be down by 1 durability when initially crafted, which broke the old recipe.
Ah ok. Working under the assumption that the values are listed by input, it seems that steel should only take 25s, but it's been taking several minutes for me. Am I reading something wrong, or is there another setting that multiplies those times for the Bronze Blast Furnace? My Recipes.cfg is using the default values atm.
The blastfurnace section of recipes.cfg is for the electric blast furnace only. The Bronze Blast Furnace only produces steel (none of the other EBF metals work), and the times are hard-coded (and not shown in NEI - see http://ftb.gamepedia.com/Bronze_Plated_Blast_Furnace ).
Hello all, made an account for this one purpose. First off, thanks for all the effort from all involved parties to make such a fun mod. Second, I was looking through Recipes.cfg at the blast furnace section and wanted to confirm that the numbers that are defined there are the times (in seconds?) that it takes to run the specified operation. I enjoy the complexity of GT, but sitting and watching the blast furnace tick while I'm bottlenecked is no fun.
I'm fairly sure the times there are in ticks.
cant use uni cells in GT machines..?
i hadnt known
I think the GT fluid canning machine supports ufcs, but things like centrifuge and electrolyzer recipes that output more than one type of fluid require regular cells instead of ufcs for the extra fluids.
Anyone know a good mod to make the end... endless? I'd like to see some floating islands or something so there's a chance of finding some of those end ores from GT5U
There's a mod called "Endless End", but only for MC 1.4.6: http://www.minecraftforum.net/…1285160-1-4-6-endless-end
The closest I could find for 1.7.10 is "Hardcore Ender Expansion", but it looks like it does so much more than just increase the size of the end that I hesitate to use it myself: http://hee.chylex.com/
There's already a tool for disguising construction foam as other blocks (presumably including wood):
