Well on my last server my partner made a fully functional tree farm, vanilla crop farm, and rubber farm using them. A charcoal pit matron wouldn't be hard since the only blocks you'd see are wood, dirt, brick, and the igniter. You can have it compare adjacent placed blocks with blocks in the inventory to identify surroundings. Figuring out a pathing algorithm is where most of the fun is.

couldnt you just set it to break all the blocks in a set pattern in the pit every so often? that wouldnt be hard at all with computercraft turtles.

I was thinking about how reactors in IC2 work (I dont know how gregtech changes fission reactors) but I was thinking that the explosion mechanic isnt that realistic. I think it would be a lot cooler and realistic that instead of them just exploding, that it would actually make the area it was in very dangerous to be in and clean up, because even if a reactor does melt down, its usually pretty easy to clean up if you had blast protection. So what would happen here is that in a meltdown, the reactor would create molten corium as a liquid which emits tons of radiation even through a few layers of blast brick, and through the hazmat suit. It also can melt through almost anything. to clean it up, you need to wait for it to solidify and create an upgraded hazmat suit(maybe a lead reinforced rubber suit)to pick it up and dispose of it far away from your base. I think this would make reactors even more of a challenge and more realistic. What do you guys think?

So I have got my ore doubling system set up with a macerator and steam furnace, and I have an alloy smelter. Is the next step to make the bronze blast furnace, or should I set up some other steam machines?

It didn't fill the second boiler at all, that's the issue.

Well looks like my lead wrench was a waste. Found the lead in a village anyway so not a huge loss. Also, finally found a tin vein. I dug at least 50 holes down to bedrock, not finding any, then walked into the next biome and there was the tin just sitting out in the open.

I have a setup for processing ores with a steam macerator and steam furnace, but I couldn't get the gregtech pipes to put fluid into the boilers. I switched them out for buildcraft pipes and they worked fine. With the gt pipes, the water only went into the closest boiler. How do i get the pipes to evenly distribute water?

what tool am I supposed to break fluid pipes with? I made small bronze fluid pipes and they dont break with a wrench, like it says to. does the material of the wrench matter? my wrench is made of lead.

so after three literal hours of running around in an extreme hills biome, I didnt find a tin vein. I was tired of walking up mountians so I went into creative mode and flew around to try to find one, but still no luck. so im going to cheat in the ores. how many of each ore are in the average tin vein? who am I kidding, you guys have probobly never seen one either.

I got the oregen figured out. is there any notable ores from mods that I should leave in the worldgen?

Forestry bees should work normally, you just won't have the additional bees that GT 5.09 would otherwise provide.

ok its finally working. does gt bees add a bee for each gregtech ore because thats a lot of bees.

also when I load up a world, all the gregtech ores spawn, but vanilla ores are all spawning normally too, like iron and diamonds. the config is set to disable them. and thermal expansion ores spawn too. Im wondering if its because of the cofh world generation thing that combines all types of copper and tin? what do I have to do to disable this?

thanks for all the help btw.

Update Forestry to version 4 or disable GT Bees in the config. If you're using 3.6 to allow Binnie's Mods to work, Chocohead made a patcher to make it compatible with Forestry 4.

will disabling gt bees make forestry bees work normally or make them unusable?

im getting this crash when using the newest version.

so I have been experimenting with gregtech 5 unofficial (1.10.2) recently, but I find it way to complex and tedious. I have also tried techReborn, but it seems unfinished.

So pretty much, I really like the concept of adding a lot of high tier stuff after IC2's end game. But I dont like how much gregtech changes. I have looked into config adjustment, but there is still no good way to make it so it has vanilla like ore generation, and not a rediculous amount of ores. I also find the fact that theres 10 tiers for every machine kind of overwhelming.

so pretty much what I want is a lighter version of gregtech, aimed at extending IC2's end game rather than completely redoing vanilla minecraft. some Ideas I had for this include:
-much fewer ores that get generated like they do in vanilla, and only get generated in normal stone.
-no changes to vanilla recipies or IC2 recipies, and use Ic2 difficulty level recipies
-Use ic2's cables with only adding cables for higher energy tiers
-use the old IC2 energy net, with packets and no current stuff.
-have all the types of machines that gregtech has, but using the IC2 machines for macerators, powered furnaces and other vanilla IC2 machines
-have all the super end game multiblocks like fusion reactors
-have pipes for items and liquids, but a much simpler version with only a few types of each
-not be intrusive on other mods recipies
