[quote='sprAngles','index.php?page=Thread&postID=200975#post200975'] Slight tangent: does anybody think large turbines are worthwhile for biogas? Single-block gas turbines don't require nether stars or osmium.

A while back i had a biogas setup running of a farm, 2 distillation towers and 3 turbines. This isnt possible anymore since at least in beyond reality the processing time for biomass in the tower was nerved. At the time i posted in this thread and layed out my math but i cant seem to find it right now.

As we are on the topic of MT Scripts. What Scripts do you guys use? Be it for balance or convenience

And finally.... Red Alloy Wire... how to get that... i have no seen anything called red alloy, or is there an ore i'm missing?

You get it from putting copper with 4 redstone dust into an alloy furnace. You get the wire from putting the ingot into a wiremill or hammering the ingots into plates which you can then cut into a wire with a wire cutter.

One thing I want to mention here: these Minetweaker assembler recipes you've been throwing around will consume the circuits. To avoid that, use a quantity of 0 on the circuits, e.g.:
Thank you for pointing this out.
I fixed my scripts.
Here is the latest addition with alternate molten rubber recipes for U/LV cables:
https://github.com/Beyond-Reality/Beyond…ch.zs#L386-L486

Thank you so much! this is way more than I expected and it works perfectly.
Maybe if I ask 50 more times I'll have it all figured out ?

Quote from leagris

When an assembler recipe uses a single item in first slot, you must add an integrated circuit into second slot. null does not work here.
I don't know if it is a limitation in GTTweaker or in Gregtech API though.

Gregtech uses Integrated Circuit 24 with assembler cable coating.
This should work:

Code

mods.gregtech.Assembler.addRecipe(<gregtech:gt.metaitem.01:1246>, <gregtech:gt.metaitem.01:1240>, <gregtech:gt.integrated_circuit:24>, <liquid:molten.rubber> * 144, 100, 8);

Thanks for the quick answer, sadly it didnt work.
While the script loads fine, the recipe doesent show up in NEI.
Its the same outcome as if I replaced the circuit with stone.

Maybe "liquid:molten.rubber" isnt correct?
Since you wrote "gregtech:gt.integrated_circuit:24" I assume that the first four digits in the ID for the circuit (5726:24) are something else?

Quote from Blood Asp

It seems some are missing me and the updates.

I'm currently in the last weeks of writing my final thesis and quite busy.

I will be done next month, but not sure how soon my activity here will improve again.

Best of luck for your thesis!

But it wouldnt be me if I hadnt another question..
I'm trying to add an assembler recipe for tin cable. But I can't get it to work.
the command is:

mods.gregtech.Assembler.addRecipe(<gregtech:gt.metaitem.01:1246>, <gregtech:gt.metaitem.01:1240>, null, <liquid:molten.rubber> * 144, 100, 8);

If I load the script I get the eror:

Error executing Custom.zs:
[Lnet.minecraft.item.ItemStack; cannot be cast to net.minecraft.item.ItemStack]

If i change the second input from "null" to "<minecraft:stone>" the script loads but the recipe doesent show up in NEI and doesent work in any assembler.

Would anyone like to help me? Thanks in advance.

While Im at it: Why are the first two digits after gt.metaitem alsways "01"

Marry me

Wonderful, exactly what I was looking for. I guess that means I'll slap EV Eneregy hatches on the Miners and Power them with Nukes. I need to burn the uranium anyways

Oh boy.. guess I'll be prospecting for a while.

Thank you very much

Quote from MauveCloud

Most multiblocks, presumably including the Advanced Miner II, can be overclocked by using a higher-tier energy hatch (or multiple energy hatches).

Yeah Iam aware of that. Its the only way to make tungstensteel production bareable.
But I was looking for more infoirmation on how exactly the miner chooses blocks to mine and how that speed is affected by overclocking.

right now I have 2 miners set up, both using an HV hatch and pulling arround 250 EU/t. But one isnt doing very much and the other one is producing ores like crazy. They are both setup directly over veins.

And, another question: Where should I look for Osmium? Does it generate in the Overworld?

Is there any Information on how the Speed of the Advanced miner is affected by the energy supplied?
I've read that it takes some amount of energy per block mined, but since it is very slow, I was wondering on how I could speed it up?

Also, would anyone mind sharing some reactor designs? I'm particular in need of a Plutonium breeder and an efficient Uranium and MOX Setup.

Quoted from "Cocolumbo"

You have an ME system and you haven't set up automation for the water cells? Not that I have much room to talk - I'm only using my ME system for storage, and haven't really set up any permanent AE2 automation. I'm not making any drilling fluid though - my choice of title should tell you how I'm getting my oil

Well.... it was probably a bit of a stretch to call it a "ME System" it is essentially a glorified Wall of barrels and i only use it for storage. Iam currently busy with moving my steam turbines for the third time which is why i didnt have much time to setup automation...

Thank you very much for your detailed reply!
Iam not at all familiar with the scripting language used by Minetweaker so I welcome working examples.

I see that you replaced "gregtech:liquid_drillingfluid" with "liquid:liquid_drillingfluid". I assume that "gregtech" and "liquid" are classes or some other data structures containing objects (or whatever else items and liquids are saved as).
My question would be why my version didnt produce any errors and if yours always works?

You also replaced "dustStone" with the metaitem ID. Is this always necessary? or is this good practice?

And, while I'm at it, is it possible to remove or change recipes? While this way works great, I now have two mixer recipes for drilling fluid.

Concerning balance, I was thinking of adding a recipe containing barite which would increase the production of drilling fluid. My main motivation behind the current change was, that it is incredibly annoying to run back and forth between my ME System and the mixer to supply the demand of Water cells. Since water is free, I dont see this as cheating.

Thanks again for your help.

Quote from MauveCloud

You make a good point there. And now I notice that the Oil Cracking Unit, which has a controller made with HV components, uses rings of cupronickel Coils. WTH? The other multiblock machines that can use kanthal coils, the EBF and the Multi Smelter, can use cupronickel and nichrome coils as alternatives, with changes in functionality (different heating capacities for the EBF, and different numbers of concurrent smelted items for the multi smelter), so maybe something similar could be done for the pyrolyse oven, e.g. allow biomass and simple charcoal production with cupronickel coils, but require kanthal to get the efficiency/speed increase from adding nitrogen, and require nichrome for making heavy oil.

I also really like this idea. This would make charcoal production way less of a hassle.

While I'm already posting. would you mind checking my minetweaker script?
I wanted to change the recipe for drilling fluid since I dont want to move water in and out of cells.

I have a custom.zs script in the correct folder. it contains only this line:
mods.gregtech.Mixer.addRecipe(null, gregtech:liquid_drillingfluid * 5000, [gregtech:dustStone], liquid:lubricant * 20, 60, 16);

when I reload the scripts i get the error message:
ERROR: parsing custom.zs:1 -- ) expected

But I dont see where I could have missed that bracket?

What did I fuck up?

Quote from sprAngles

Just to clarify - Pyrolyse Oven is meant to be MV tier right? It requires Kanthal Coil Blocks which need a Vacuum Freezer to process the ingots, which in turns need Data Control Circuits, and that is a circuit meant for EV machines, requiring HV tech. Is this meant to be? I had to build numerous systems and HV machines - even needing to manufacture some C2F4.

It isnt MV Tier. It just requires very little power to operate.
I built mine right after upgrading my EBF.

Have fun in your new world then ;)You might find it helpful to mark every vein you come accroos on your map...
I cant count how many times I needed one specific mineral and couldnt find the vein again ';(

Quote from MauveCloud

Yes, unfortunately that's a known issue that's impractical to fix: https://github.com/Blood-Asp/GT5-Unofficial/issues/320
On the plus side, I think when it does that it only consumes EU for the 6 working centrifuges, rather than for all 16.

Oh Well, at least now i know and can stop trying to exorcise my processing arrays

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to ask a few questions.

1. Is it normal that a processing array containing 16 basic centrifuges only takes 60 Redstone at once? I'm guessing this is because the recipe requires 10 Redstone per Centrifuge and because of the way its coded it caps at 64?

2. Would any of you mind sharing your Reactor designs? I'm thinking of investing into nuclear but I suck at reactor design

3. Is it intentional that a turbine made from HSS-S has less durability than one made from HSS-E? It is better in optimal flow though...

4. What materials do you normally use for your turbine blades?

Thank you very much

Jesus christ.. I just discovered the new method of refining tungsten from sheelite...
EV voltage, 7:1 conversion and Hydrogen?

I was soooo close to having enough TS for all my boilers

Blood giveth.. and Blood taketh away

Yeah that will be the bottleneck.. but I dont have to run them on my current power supply. I only need to generate enough Biogas to spin the Turbines up, then I can start adding additional turbines and Distillation Towers as the turbines will Power the towers.

Because every distillation tower needs 512EU/t my actual power surplus will only be 382 EU/t per Turbine, or 573EU/t per Distillation Tower.
Hmm... doesent sound as good anymore

I might need to test the vanilla IC2 Biogas prodcution... but I doubt that it will be comparable to the Distillation tower...

I have a quarry installed but iam not using it. As you said... waaay too much power. Iam using a ming laser and an MV Drill for manual mining.

Quote from willis936

Damn son. Nearly 10 kEU/t on biogas? It took me two LHEs with 4 turbines each to hit that (each LHE runs 2x large tsteel super heated steam turbines). One is lava (not sustainable) and the other is nuclear (7 fluid reactors worth, each taking 8 iridium reflectors and 4x quad thorium).

The fact that you can match that with a farm is impressive.

Also jump to fusion asap. It's so much fun. You'll need extra parts and EU because everyone makes mistakes. It's important to be able to afford those mistakes.

Well it isnt exactly cheap. Since each Distillation Tower only outputs 57mB/t of biogas I will need 4 Distillation Towers in order to feed 6 Turbines.
I could overclock them, but since Iam doing this for energy generation it would kinda defeat the purpose...

The good thing is: the distillation tower produces Fertilizer as a Byproduct which I could use to speed up my Treefarm, which in turn would speed up my Biomass production....

But iam currently at the beginning of the HV age and iam powering my base with 2 Large Steel Boilers feeding into 4 Railcraft turbines. this gets me about 4 Amps of 512EU.
So it will take a while to get my infrastructure up to par. I did this hwole testing to see where my "way of the Grag" will lead me.

Fusion is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the distance... For example... my ore processing consists of 1 macerator 2 ore wahsers and 2 thermals all at MV Level

Again, thank you guys very much. I cant stress enough how helpful you guys were!
after setting up my final build in creative I come to the following conclusions.

With the amount of Biogas iam producing I can feed 7 Large Gas Turbines each containning a normal sized tungstensteel rotor and generating 894EU/t. Each rotor should last just shy of 10 Days of continous operation.

now THATS what iam talking about !

EV Age, here i come !
