1. Try using Granite Pickaxe made of Red or Black Granite Rocks.

2. That is a Forge Bug and it happens in all Modpacks. It annoys the shit out of me too. If you launch a World and get thrown back to the Title Screen instead and then try again then get thrown back again and then try again and launch the world successfully then you have to kill the process afterwards.

1. But Granite is too hard to be mined with a weaker material, isn't it? How do I get a material strong enough excluding default stone, because that feels like cheating(Since the guide says "Stone if you have absolutely nothing else").

2. Are you sure? The same 1.7.10 version that I use for GT, I also use for other mods and packs, but while it consistently happens in GT, I do not recall it happening on the others.

I couldn't even figure out how to harvest tougher stones... I had to use vanilla stone.

Also is it just me or is there a bug with GT that prevents the game from closing properly? I always have to kill the process.

I have no idea what these are but judging this as a reactor setup of some kind, this outputs 2*3*4*4=96Heat per second and you dissipate only up to 20

Is 90% of this guide just for people to know how you obtained the command rather than explaining the command?

I mean I like that, but I am also confused.

I have seen these years ago being useless.Anym source suggesting this is upcoming and not played around with and then abndoned? Like the uranium ingots, that are still in there for no prticular reason.

There is actually a trade-off, because the Semifluid generator is MUCh faster than the liquid fuel firebox. SO I guess you trade efficiency for speed.

Generally any time you have a choice of using heat or direct electricity, the heat version has the same efficiency with a stirling generator, but more with a steam boiler.

How does one actully know how much heat Biogas "should" produce? The mod is extremely opaque.

I have sucessfully got GregTech to run with NEI. It ran like butt, but I was in a jungle with only 2G and no fastcraft or anything else on a 7years old PC.

I just noticed EU is mentioned a lot in GregTech and rubber trees exist, but have no utility beyond being wood, as it seems, so it seems to want IC2. I tend to prefer small packs and play mods in their pure form, but if GT is mostly intended for use with at least IC2(and fastcraft) I should add it.

Even though I doubt I'll have the time to get very far.

I decided to try GregTech and I am completely new to it. Is there something I should absolutely read? Does GregTech make any sense to use without IC2?

Is this even the right place to ask?

It was up earlier today. I guess it's just not stable.

Am I missing something or does GregTech stop at 1.7.10?

Are you using 64bit Java? 32Bit can't assign more thn 1G RAM.

I was super amazed when I heard about the pipes.

But how do they work?

Despite their tooltips, they all only transfer 400mb/s for me.

...and yeah I'd still like to be able to pick up upgraded machines.

EDIT: Okay, their transfer rates are right, but only theoretical. Since they try to move half of the fluid backwards they can't be used with something that accepts the fluid they contain as source and if there's no pressure, they are REAAAALLLY slow.

Reactors have been made not being affected to outside environment (at least that's what I believe). And, this is like an outside vent, a random one that doesn't need much materials.

You can power the reactor through a repeater and a block, and use a cobble generator to constantly replace the block once it melts, or you can use the configurable redstone behavior of EU storage blocks, plus some redstone and wiring. I mentioned before that te blocks don't get affected.

Thanks for the info, but in the version I have they still produce infinite lava when turned off, so it's not necessary to find such a solution. I just wish it was.

So you mean that the upgrades don't drop when machines are picked up? This helps a lot especially when moving machines.

You don't have to turn all machines off, you just have to break the cable(s) that will connect to the machine when you place the machine and connect the cable again afterwards. You can also use a big amperage at low voltage, which is what I did in my old survival world. I've managed to get ~15k EU/t by connecting a lot of transformers to MFSU.

There are steam designs that don't require a big pipeline and there are already fluid pipes in IC2 now.

Wait... just so we are at the same page

The IC2 version I currently have:

1. When machines are picked up they drop all upgrades.

2. The only direct fluid transfer systems are fluid distributors and upgraded tanks, which are both absurdly expensive.

Is that no longer true in the current version?

Is there something like an up-to-date IC2 wiki? Seems like a fairy tale.

I am sure someone must have suggested this, but I couldn't find it, so here it is.

Why can't we pick up machines with installed upgrades?

When you have a big pipeline, it often contains machines of varying power tiers, so some of the machines will require transformer upgrades.

But whenever you want to add a machine, you have to first turn the power off, because otherwise your machine explodes.

And whenever I build a fluid reactor it starts overheating and I turn it off and go look for the part of the pipeline where I forgot the fluid ejector upgrade.

Thoughts?

I meant that the process of turning something into lava should maybe remove some heat from the reactor, so you at least have to do something for your free lava...although I currently see no way to keep a reactor powered at 85% because whatever block you put the redstone on melts.

I mean it could remove the lava's worth in HU at least and not turn flowing lava into source blocks., so at least a dormant reactor can't be an infinite lava source.

The reactor can also turn flowing lava into source lava.

I mean creating lava cheaply, OKAY, but creating free infinite lava, when obsidian is among the most expensive things to replicate?
