Lev, I swear, Charter owes you like 3 months of free service for the crap you've gone through with your connection.

Umm, Lev? Could we get the job titles in chat turned off? Seeing Elder Apprentice Ass-scratcher Steve every time someone chats is going to get old really quick.

Are you guys remembering to delete META_INF from the .jar? I installed everything with no trouble.

I usually burn it up either in reactor components or RP2 red alloy wire.

Guessing we hit technical difficulties.

Would it help if we started a cheering section?

GO LEV, HE'S OUR MAN, IF HE CAN'T DO IT, BLAME NOTCH!

Huh, Fun already was a pmod, lol

He's at work right now. I'm assuming he'll be working on it when he gets home. Just be patient, lol.

Not to mention, yeah, building that super power plant may have been an accomplishment for you, like my house and my nuclear reactors were for me (and the half-finished hidden temple I have), but think of how much bigger an accomplishment it'll be when you actually work towards it instead of just throwing resources you had stockpiled from the last map into it.

Honestly, as much as I liked my house, Lev raised a good point a while back. There's an unmanageable amount of wealth on the server now, exploits and dupe bugs and x-ray hacks have been used, in conjunction with the vault from last map, to make everyone rich as hell, and a fresh start with everyone on even footing might be a good thing.

I mean, I had a shop in the market district that I paid 6k for, and I had 8k or so on me. Not to mention a chest half full of stacks of metal blocks. It'll be hard starting from nothing, granted, but look at it as a new opportunity to get a breath of fresh air instead of just breaking down metal blocks to build your latest super power plant or whatnot.

That was my bad, Rick. I thought he meant he had somehow come up with a design for a Mk1 with high efficiency that output 120 EU/t, not an efficiency 1, so I told him to post it in this thread. Had I realized he was talking about an efficiency 1 I wouldn't have suggested it.

Ah, good deal then! Although I hope things don't get messed up too bad with all of the mod updates into an existing world.

Aww. I was hoping to take a walkthrough my house with Hypercam recording before the map reset, just to preserve it. It's probably the most impressive thing I've created from an aesthetics point of view.

Oh well, I'll just have to make the next one bigger and better.

I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong, but 1 efficiency...good if you're swimming in uranium or have a good breeder set up, I guess!

The best way I've found to specifically target diamonds is to do a variation of branch mining at level 17 (just above the diamond level) and bring along a lappack. Scan with your OV scanner as you mine. When you find a particularly big number, drop your mining kit there and let it operate while you check the surrounding area for more big numbers. Then, just pick up and move the mining kit to the next hotspot when it finishes.

You'll still get thrown off by gold and other high value ores occasionally, but it helps to narrow it down quite a bit.

You might also want to just make a modpack, or provide a list of links to the required mods, as distributing your .minecraft folder is...very iffy.

Thank you, Lev! I was going through withdrawal not being able to get electrical engines

Question then...since we know now that us not being able to make tin gears is the result of a bug, if there is a way to make them, are we allowed? Or should we withhold for now? Because it is possible to craft them, but I don't want to go spilling how unless it's okay to do it.

I would be strangely comfortable with a map reset, although I have to admit that I would mourn the loss of my house and my new secret project.

We wont go to a hosting site for the server mostly because the only way to be sustainable as a server at that point would be to become a pay to play server which isn't going to happen. I would shut it down before making it a pay server. I understand the server going down is frustrating...how do you think we feel? If your not happy with us there are plenty of other servers to play on.

Exactamundo. For being a free server, the Gorge is actually doing pretty decently, even taking into account crashes and lag, and the admins are spending their own time (and money!) trying to make it better for us. Think about it a bit before you complain too much about crashes and lag and downtime...Lev takes donations for the server, but he doesn't make any of us pay anything for it. The connection, the box, the issues with the technicians and all of the other headaches that come with running a server...he's paying for it all. For you.

Hosting services cost money, and for the type of equipment that Lev is running, quite a bit of it. That would be an extra expense on top of all of his current bills (since he's paying for internet anyway), and I'm quite sure that whatever donations he got, even if we all gave something to him as a thank you, would cover no more than a month or two of hosting service, after which it'd be coming out of his own pocket.

Not to mention, if something goes wrong, he has direct access to the server to fix it himself, whereas on a hosting service if a piece of hardware fries, he'd have to wait for the service to fix it. If the system hangs and locks up and stops responding to input entirely, right now he can manually shut the box down and restart it...with a hosting service, it might be down for hours, possibly even days depending on how closely they monitor the systems, before anyone even notices it.

There's other factors involved too, but those are the two biggest ones I could think of off the top of my head. Once his internet situation gets resolved, it shouldn't be an issue at all.
