Unfamiliar with this method. Would help to see how that's set up...

My new question for the day, is how do transport pipes work now? And do Buildcraft Cobblestone pipes still work?

Got a full blown bronze age working and trying to automate it from machine to machine to chest and then autocrafter ect. also, trying to find out how to differentiate where input / output ect is on machines now... going through the wiki isn't exactly helpful in this regard.

What i'm trying to do -

Steam Macerator - manually place product inside (ore) - Auto transport (pipes) crushed Ore to Steam Furnace - Auto Transport (pipes) the nuggets to autocraft table to make ingots - auto transport ingots to a chest (will do 2 chests once i find more diamonds so i can build a sorting pipe) and then have ingots go to Alloy Smelter and from there to a final chest.

Steam connection (fluid pipes) are connected to the back of each machine in a line. Each machine is 1 space apart. Small boilers on each side of the assembly. Vent for each machine is facing to the right side.

If you want to transport items from something that isn´t an electric machine, you´ll need to set up an item pipe between the macerator and the furnace and then place a conveyor module cover where the pipe is connected to the macerator, than right-click it with the screwdriver and set it to import. Electric machine can output items and fluids, you don´t need pump or conveyor covers for them. I´d recommend that you automate the steam machines using hoppers.

annnnnnd... i think these videos i posted are outdated... to can't find the steam generator and boiler requires hatches ect that aren't in those videos... back to drawing board to figure this one out...

*edited* of course i was looking for the wrong thing... my fault... but... now to get started, i have PLENTY of bronze and such.... no clay... need clay, WTF to find clay, i'm in a plains / scrubland / jungle cross biome with PLENTY of water sources ALL over, not a single bed has clay... WTF?!?! if we have to go through this progression, at least let the materials required be available... this... this is where i get REALLY frustrated trying to do it legit.

go figure, i post this and suddenly, next stream bed i come across gives me about stacks of clay... *rolls eyes*... this randomness is absurd

and thus, thanks to other mods i have installed...i am already at bronze age... btw, for those making mod packs ect.. i HIGHLY recommend Treasure Chest mod + Marvel Universe... Already have gold and diamonds all legit through mods. You have to actually mine / kill things that GregTech doesn't interfere with. Treasure Chests give you "rare" items when you kill one of the mobs...it's random, REALLY random, but gold / diamonds are options, as well as iron. With Marvel, you get Titanium and Adamantium ore that spawn past Gregtech buffers, but when smelted turn INTO gregtech versions that can be used to make things like wrenches, hammers (until bronze age ect) to help out... past that, you can actually use said ore to make picks and such to actually mine with... which will make life MUCH easier... not complaining about this combo at ALL... not a fan of the time consuming tedium / nerfing. I want to build / create / make pretty things, but i do want SOME challenge / thought and automated processing as well as actual tech stuff. This... seems to be a close enough balance between the two for my tastes... not the route i'd have gone with it, but functional and acceptable.

Just that you know it, you´re supposed to turn of all ore gen of other mods and generate the ores, that GT doesn´t generate by default, using the GT configs.

Also ... rly? you´re complaining about clay being to hard to obtain? Try to get some osmium

Obviously not hooking something up right... all i can figure now, i even deleted everything, installed each mod in a new folder started on a new profile in a separate location... obviously things are not as easy as they once were... guess you can't just throw a universal macerator / Furnace ect down with a 2 ultimate hybrid solar panels and have it start working? like so. have input go in top and output in the bottom. Even tried to connect fiber cable to underside from Solar Panel and see if it needed energy input from bottom and nothing...

could you post a screenshot of your problem?

Quote from walkerjonny

I'm aware of that.
This is why I suggested to introduce a scrap weighting system/different scap sizes and material-related energy/processing time requirements before.
Using such a system you have many ways to adjust a proper balancing especially related to UUA/UUM producing.

Well, it is ok if cobblestone or stone itself and maybe some other too easy to obtainable materials are blacklisted because of a too simple way to directly feed the recycler with them as long as there is a way to process them into something, maybe a combination of those materials, that the recycler finally accepts.
For example, why not require cobblestone to be macerated to sand and sand to be macerated to stone dust (or pulverized to stone dust with small chances to get tiny piles of some rare earths/precious metals) and only accepting stone dust as resource item/block for the recyclers?
In that case you need a high amount of energy to use cobblestone as origin material for the recyclers. Sounds that fair enough?

Some time ago, you were able to put cobblestone in the hammer machine to get gravel and put that in the recycler. Dunno if you still can do that.

Quote from Liburia

It's weird how nobody could explain such a simple thing to me. So does that mean pumping each(or half of them?) branch is the only way to do this setup?

I think so ... or use huge tst. pipes or high pressure pipes.

Quote from Liburia

Anyone please?

24000 L cap means it transport 12000 L/s.

Quote from jaz3001

i tried this but it made a universal fluid cell containing ic2coolant, which isn't a coolant cell

Maybe input a normal empty cell and not a universal fluid cell???

How about a laser to transform large quantities of electricity into heat and "transport" them? It could also be used to power high-end machine, for example in material processing, uranium enrichment or to start up a fusion reactor?

Quote from Malazag

30 charcoal / min? Do you mean a RC boiler? The GT bronze boiler from what I've seen consumed like 1 coal every second.

Which version do you use? In the newer versions, the bronze boiler requires one charcoal every 2 seconds, the better boilers require more.

Has somebody already made some kind of table, which lists all the 5.9 crops, their properties and what block they need to grow?

Quote from junglejim

For GT5exp I usually add these in:

AE2 - base mod, I haven't messed with extra cells yet.
IHL - only for treesap, I turn everything else off. Not sure if there's a better way to deal with resin.
JourneyMap
GraviSuite
NEI
RailCraft - coal coke, tanks, trains
Waila

I used to include buildcraft but after the improvements BloodAsp has made to oil and other things, I couldn't find a reason to. I haven't done much with fission or higher, but IC2 nuclear control looks useful. I'd also like to try something like OpenComputers to make more sophisticated train stuff. I'm interested to hear what other mods people think work well with GT.

you get shitloads of resin from sticky reed, there is no reason to include IHL when you have GT5 (I would include it for playing with GT6)

Extracells is very useful, easy transport and storage for all the fluids GT has (oxygen, nitrogen, oil, glue, plasma)

Quote from willis936

Oh so you could only ever get an extra percent of EU throughput and it would require a creative setup and probably be dangerous.

1% ? Totalli worth it

Quote from KevinXtreme

Industrialcraft have a Fluid Distributor and a Fluid Regulator. So, why not add a simple tank to store fluids?

1000 other mods add tanks. If iou want an IC2 tank so badli, do a small IC2 addon for that.

Easy. Just breed reed with reed. If that doesn´t work, post some pictures of your greenhouse.

how can I send you a list of the mods I'm using and the configs?

Here is an imgur gallery of me putting it together: I'm not sure if I've done something wrong when assembling the pyrolyse oven or what.

At first I thought it was related to the bug noted here: I'm not sure if I've done something wrong when assembling the pyrolyse oven or what.

At first I thought it was related to the bug noted here: [url]https://github.com/Blood-Asp/GT5-Unofficial/issues/269 but that was fixed in Oct and the latest version was published in early January so I figured that should be all set? I'm using Beyond Reality Classic as a mod pack and it's updated to 5.09.19

I took the exact same setup in a test world and got the exact same results, am I missing something stupid here?The oven works, when the controller doesn´t show "incomplete structure" just test it, put some wood in it, it should work.

Quote from Alkalus

Can I not just use a BC refinery on the oil?
Don't need charcoal, I run on the power of the wind.

the output is better. one can get tons of stuff from the oil in D. tower, not just fuel: plastic, explosives and such things. 5.9 makes things more difficult and it gives a reason to have technologi-progress regarding the generators.
Btw. Wind is boring and OP

Quote from PaladinOne

Double-also: On its own, independent of GregTech, Forestry 4 Multifarms can (as of last week!) fertilize, water, and harvest IC2 Crops! (And GT adds more crops for use in that.)

Is it possible to grow the crops that require metal blocks below them on the multifarm??? It wouldn´t be that useful without it, except for oil berri and uum/uua berries .

Also, can iou tell me what I´m doing wrong? How does the crop farm work?

Maybe something like the Gendustry addon for forestry, but for crops instead of bees? Or would that be too OP?

Quote from Lardjo

Blood Asp, we have GregTech Replicator, but can't do it redstone. IC2 disabled on default. Why not add recipe for the production of redstone? Are there any prerequisites for this?

Just make a redwheat farm. That is better.
