Lmao, He has a recipe for water tiles to cells I guess and I want him to add a recipe for cells to water tile I guess.

That's because it works for piped-in water.

Quote from Grimshad

The industrial Electrolyzer is broken. It uses EU when it just has empty cells in the cell slots and i bugged it out where it kept pulling power when there wasn't enough and then starting over and over and over forever, i had to replace the block.

THAT'S NOT A BUG. You don't know how often people report that "bug" which is completely intentional.

All GregTech machines use the input items before they start processing. So when you put, say, 12 bauxite dust in the electrolyzer, it will use up all 12, and 8 cells and then start running. It will use power even though there's nothing in the input slot because it's still trying to process the stuff that was in the input slot before.
If it ever runs out of power, it will restart the process. That's also intentional. Since it keeps restarting you might not be able to see the progress bar move, so you could think it's a bug.

Display Spoiler

I can't tell what those cells are and I doubt Greg can either.

There should be a UUM recipe for chrome dust.

Quote from MatLaPatate

And the diamond is here for ... ?

Yep, I know, but cable aren't made like that in IC². IC² cables are made to makes you use one type of cable for each situation. And Refined Iron Cables aren't totally usefull, as it can be used one by one without any losses. But yeah, they only exist for some setup, not for energy transmission.

I use them for energy transmission. What's the big deal, unless you need every last EU for some reason? You can go out of loaded chunk distance with under 10% loss.

Quote from dispatchcompg

Error to report. The industrial electrolyzer WILL eat all stored energy in an energy storage unit (in my case MFE) if it doesn't explicitly receive the input voltage it's requesting. In my case I was attempting to electrolyze some bauxite dust with 3 other machines in-line before the electrolyzer running. I had over 400k EU stored in the MFE. The electrolyzer sucked the MFE dry and did not complete its recipe. (Long time lurker finally decided to register).

Completely intended. If the electrolyzer's internal storage (which isn't very big) gets completely empty, it restarts the operation. Same for the industrial sawmill, implosion compressor, industrial grinder and industrial blast furnace.

Quoting is broken for me AGAIN, so here's my attempt at manual quoting.

Quote from GregoriusT

So a major Buff to Massfabrication itself? Its not ment to be used en mass. At least not that Way.

I would like if there was a lower-tier mass fab that makes only mundane items, even if it requires catalyst. Unless you intended people to use matter fabs ONLY for iridium and for ridiculously expensive stuff? (Like the ender pearls or emeralds you need for a fusion reactor)
It would be higher tech than the matter fab, but cheaper to run.

Or maybe a duplicator, something like the one in Thaumcraft 1 or 2. Put any duplicatable item in, say redstone, and feed it scrap and energy. Then it uses 666,666 EU and 132 scrap to make 24 redstone, as if you'd used the IC2 mass fab.
That actually doesn't seem like much EU, so maybe 4 million (equivalent to IC2 MF without scrap, but still requiring scrap, and way less than the matter fab).

Quote from GregoriusT

Then make the Circuitry with Platinum. That's also a possible Way to not waste Iridium.

Platinum can't be obtained without opening tens of thousands of scrapboxes, mining in the End, mining iridium ore, or installing additional mods. I agree with Almanorek here.

Quote from GregoriusT

More uses and Tools/Armor, yes. Your Suggestion for a replacement of Iridium, no.

Partially agree with Almanorek - this would be a nice use of aluminium, but it might not make sense for things like data control circuits... although it's really just holding together some tier 3 and 4 circuits, so it could work.

Quote from GregoriusT

Sorry but denied before. Use them as Decoration, they wont Lag!

Agree with Greg, only the advanced ones are expensive enough to justify reusing them, and there's nothing to upgrade them to.
Maybe a reinforced one could be smelted into 1 or 2 steel, but there's really no point.

Quote from GregoriusT

Recycling is already a bit OP. Increasing the Efficiency I wont. ~Yoda

Actually, that would take 8 times as much EU as a normal recycler, but produce twice the scrap on average. What if the scrap was the same? (8 scrap per stack)

For hayo-ish energy storage, electrolyzed water should be a liquid which electrolyzers can output as an option, which can be turned back into normal water and energy by another machine.

Quote from CrafterofMany

I hate repeating myself, but if i have to, i will. Tungsten ingots did not exist, but W-Cells ((wolfram-cells(tungsten)) did exist for the fusion reactor for iridium.

Tungsten ingots didn't exist, W-cells did instead, so what's the problem with lava making W-cells?

Quote from phresno

In other words, you guys don't know how the mod is actually supposed to work, you're just guessing right? Even if the recipe's all require different inputs those values should be known, and able to be verified.

They are shown in NEI. Most recipes require 128 EU/t.

Quote from phresno

How could it need more than 119 EU/t if it'll run on LV at 32 EU/t?

You are confusing EU/t and EU/p (EU per packet).
LV is 32 EU/p. If you have 4 packets per tick, that's 128 EU/t.
All storage devices and generators output 1 packet per tick. Transformers can output up to 4 packets per tick.
For best results, put an MFE right next to the electrolyzer, facing it, so you have NO cable. You could also use up to 2 pieces of fully insulated gold or 39 pieces of glass fibre, if you wanted. You don't want even 1 EU/p of cable loss, because that will make the electrolyzer slowly run out of power and then get stuck, like you saw.

Quote from hoho

2048 EU/t as LV? How is that even possible?

By having 16 packets per tick. See above.

If the electric sorters could handle more than 9 items at a time, I'd use them instead of BC diamond pipes.

Quote from phresno

- The G-IE will not run on medium voltage EU (128EU/t) at all. It does not even light up as it does when run on LV. When connected directly to an MFE (regardless if it is the only machine, or if other's are connected) the G-IE will stutter as if not receiving power. Breaking and replacing does not fix this, and the G-IE will never process a batch when connected directly to MV EU. Again, confirmed the MFE was full and the G-IE does this even if it's the only device actually connected to the MFE.

Can you provide a screenshot?

Quote from GregoriusT

How many Forestry Machines do you really need? One overpowered Farmer of each kind, maybe a second Peat Bog, the few basic Machines, and thats it.

You forgot biogas engines. I have 6 stacks of biogas engines. I'm not going to say what they're running on, in case you decide to nerf it.

Quote from GregoriusT

These Cells can even be emptied in a Shapeless Recipe. Also, if a Material has too many byproducts, then I skip the Air Cells first as they are currently almost useless.

For one thing, producing more cells means the centrifuge/electrolyzer can process less inputs before I have to manually refill it with empty cells. And I know about the shapeless recipe.

Quote from SteveofDoom

How does Electrolyzed water cell put into the electrolyzer give HCells? That doesn't make sense. Electrolyzing water will IRL give hidrogen and oxygen, not electrolyzing already electrolyzed cells.

An electrolyzed water cell is the hydrogen and the oxygen in one cell. In case you didn't notice, it's much faster and uses less power to separate the cells than to actually electrolyze them in the first place.

Quote from CrafterofMany

Oh sorry, wolfram cells. As far as i know, wolfram and tungsten are the same (hence the "W" on the periodic table)

You know that FTB uses Version 2.03? Tungsten Ingots didnt even exist back then.

Quote from GregoriusT

Note, that you can use Brass (twice as much and very easy to get with the Zinc of the Nether) as Bronze-replacement in Adv-Alloy.

Not in Forestry machines though.

Quote from GregoriusT

Its not that hard to just put them into an Extractor to empty them. Also, did you know about Adv-Circuits being able to use Silicon Plates? I guess you now have a use for all that Silicon.

What about a mode where it ignores compressed air cells? They are incredibly easy to make after all. If this is added it should also be on the electrolyzer.

Quote from CrafterOfMines57

No, I thought of it, but I decided that realistically the centrifuge is meant to separate dusts into different minerals, so therefore why would bronze be an exception? It just seemed to make a lot more sense to nerf something in a mod literally about nerfing things and making stuff more difficult, than to remove a recipe from the centrifuge.

One obvious alternative: Halve the centrifuge outputs when Forestry is installed.

Quote from CrafterOfMines57

It's either forestry takes a hit on bronze, or an exploit is left in that allows people to create infinte bronze and tin using a centrifuge, your choice.

Or the centrifuge recipe is removed. It's funny how many people didn't think of that option - especially since Greg himself added the centrifuge recipe.

Quote from Mister_Omega

Can I get something clarified? Putting the Compact Cell in the top-right slot of the Extractor puts the machine into "Extraction Mode" and enables it to slowly pull Forcicium from "space-time" while using a ton of energy? And the only way to revert the mode is to remove the cell and place 'raw' Forcicium into the very top slot?

How would you go about discharging the full Cells?

Put them in the top slot instead of forcicium.

wormzjl: For some reason I can't quote you, but try right clicking with the cell in your hand - that's what the guide says.

Quote from GregoriusT

Accidently leftclicking leads to Destruction? What the hack are you using to click? The Admin-Banhammer-Tool aka Creative-Steve-Stump?

Oh, I see it now drops itself when mined. It's still nice to see the progress remotely though.

(When I first tested it, it dropped nothing when not wrenched)

Quote from TwoTailedFox

Are there plans to use a Creative Tab for ARS' items?

No, but I don't see any reason not to.

Quote from Kane Hart

Think you will hate and like this. Time to make centurefuge like you do with the rest the big machines I think it should be a epic structure not some tiny little magical block

Already suggested and denied I think, like the electrolyzer, because you need them much earlier in the game.

I want matterfabs to be CC peripherals so I can check the progress without having to walk up to it and risk accidentally left-clicking it.
