GT4 distillation tower recipes.
You are the best

What is the steam consumption of all bronze age machines? In mB/t.

I agree with Sphax. I wrote that quickly and without much thought. So go ahead and rewrite whole post from scratch.

Thanks, I totally forgot about modtweaker. It all works now.

This is the script I have:

recipes.remove(<harvestcraft:stockItem>);
recipes.addShapeless(<harvestcraft:stockItem>*3, [<minecraft:bone>,<minecraft:bone>,<minecraft:bone>]);
recipes.remove(<harvestcraft:cranberryjuiceItem>);
recipes.addShapeless(<harvestcraft:cranberryjuiceItem>, [<harvestcraft:cranberryItem>, <harvestcraft:juicerItem>]);

recipes.remove(<appliedenergistics2:tile.BlockGrinder>);

// --- Iron Plates ---
mods.railcraft.Rolling.removeRecipe(<Railcraft:part.plate>);

// --- Steel Plates ---
mods.railcraft.Rolling.removeRecipe(<Railcraft:part.plate:1>);

// --- Tin Plates ---
mods.railcraft.Rolling.removeRecipe(<Railcraft:part.plate:2>);

// --- Copper Plates ---
mods.railcraft.Rolling.removeRecipe(<Railcraft:part.plate:3>);

And this is what I get in minecraft. I use Minetweaker 9c and Railcraft 9.4.0.0 Forge build is 1236

I never noticed that private message until now! Yes, I do not mind, actually I encourage passing this to Dream Master. I did not do anything to contribute in this thread other than starting it (that was the plan all along ).
So, yea, you have my blessing.

Btw, I tried to use so scripts from github. Looks like Minetweaker does not recognize railcraft.Rolling recipe changes anymore.

Instead of turning off rolling machine completely, I would rather find a way to remove iron and steel plate recipes from it. Does mine tweaker support RC in that matter?

Another suggestion inspired by TFC.
Greg, since you are working so hard to replace vanilla enchanting, levels that player accumulates become useless. So my suggestion is, to make player levels work similar to TFC system, where accumulated levels increase players health. It does not have to by much. For every 10 accumulated levels player would receive 1 full heart of health, capping it at level 100 and a total of 20 full hearts. Of coarse if player dies and loses all levels, those bonus hearts would be gone as well.

Quote from Mine_Sasha

It's a shame you don't add Thaumcraft 4, because GregTech support it very well and even add technomagical related stuff to it

Thaumcraft is a great mod there is no denying it. But, it's very stand alone. It does not contribute in enhancing tech based play. It requires you to focus on it completely, turning your attention away from other mods. All the mods I have listed are working with each other supplying each other with features that other mods do not have. Thaumcraft can work alongside those mods fine, but does not contribute anything. I'm looking for mods that add features not present in current composition. So everything can be turned in to well integrated system.

That is why I'm still not sure about Galacticraft. Having to go through GT progression in order to visit farther planets, seems like a great game goal. However I have no idea what do you get from visiting those planets.

And thanks for ironchest recipes.

I wanted to make this thread in GT section of forums but I have no such option. If possible I would like to request this thread to be moved there.

We are entering
the 1.7.10 era. And I'm working on GT based modpack. Since I want that modpack
to focus on survival having GT as a base, I'd like to make some balance changes
to recipes in other mods using Mine Tweaker.
I came in to
conclusion that we could maybe do this together. Let's all share ideas on how
to make other mods more Greggy.
Here is the
list of mods that I want to build this pack with. I am open on ideas on how to expand that
list. Keep in mind the theme of this modpack. All magic, RF and weapon based
mods are outright denied. Decoration mods very welcome.
Present mods:
AppliedEnergetics
BetterStorage
BiblioCraft
BiblioWoods
Binniemods
BuildCraft
CarpenterBlocks
Chisel
Forestry
Gravisuit
NuclearControl
Immibismicroblocks
IndustrialCraft
PFAA
Railcraft
Redlogic
SpiceOfLife

Mods not yet added:
Pam'sHarvestCraft or similar
Galacticraft

Mods not yet available:
GregTech
HungerOverhaul
LogisticPipes

I'm still
debating if I should use harvestcraft or some other similar mod. If you have
propositions let me know. About Galacticraft. My player base would be
interested in this but I know nothing about that mod. I checked wiki but information's
there are not very informative. I know you can go to some other planets (dimensions)
but I know nothing about what this mod adds to the game. Any feedback would be appreciated.

But this topic
is supposed to be about Gregging other mod recipes. I'd like to make progress in other mods be dependent
on your progress in GT. Post recipes in any format you like. If you have them
already written in mine tweaker code, that would be most welcome.
Just let's try to keep this in somewhat proper manner. If you are posting your changed recipe do this format:
Mods name/Item name/Recipe Type(SD-shaped, SL-shapeless)/Recipe
In case of mine tweaker code, post whole thing.

Mine does really stands for mining..
it means this is mine! my world, I can do whatever I want in it...
We can experience life in minecraft just as we do in real world, but with more freedom and flexibility.
If IC2 exp is going to take all of that away, it is not going to be fun at all...
And that is the way where IC2 EXP is heading into..
requires more ores which forces us to do boring MINING even LONGER...
comepletly destroys the fun of IC...

[Reminder] This is autonomous mod. Development team does not answer to anyone. It's their creation, their vision. They can do whatever they want with it.
It just happened that majority of people here likes where this all is going. And the majority does not play in creative. The majority wants to PLAY this game.
People today, does not know what Playing a game is. PLAYING means putting effort in order to be rewarded. If there is no effort, just reward. Than it's no different from watching television.

Hung in there, you can do it

Seeing in is so much nicer than this!

And yes, this is how you build it.

Y U no like block of concrete?

First MOX fuel
Madman's reactor

And now External coolant heat exchanging
(Suggestion/concept/idea) "Rwactor"TM New Nuclear reactor for GT this time.

I wonder how much I affected IC2 reactor development past year

Someone was suggesting this some time ago. It's about terrafarmer. Suggestion was to make terrafarmer change not just blocks around it but a whole biome. If it's possible to make terrafarmer change biomes than please consider doing it. If it's impossible, than I do not see any real use for terrafarmer at all.

A couple of days ago, on GT topic Nuclear power plant
simulator was introduced. Since so many people wanted something like this to be
implemented in GT, I decided to make a design that would be fun to make, and
presented some kind of challenge in running it. I presented a quick idea which
was confusing at best. After giving it more thought, I think I now have figured
out its problems and can present a proper suggestion now.

Goal of this creation is to make a modular nuclear power
plant, where every component does something else and all components are connected
with each other through coolant loops.

Since this idea contains so many different components, it
could as well be made as separate GT add on.

Quickly about heat and temperature. Temperature of a
structure is determined by amount of heat actually residing inside it. Different
structures convert heat into temperature at different rate. For example: 2000
heat inside reactor might result in a temperature of 300 degrease C, but the same amount of heat in
a boiler might give 500 degrease C.

Also, all reactor components, structures and items are affected
by temperature and have different temperature tolerance.

Cooling ports. Those are basically plugs for your cooling
loops. Every structure that can be affected by coolant has both in side and out
side. So, when you build your coolant line it can be closed in a loop. Coolant
ports will exchange heat between structure and coolant flowing through it at a
fixed rate and with help of reactor heat exchangers residing inside proper
slots. Heat exchange speed is affected by difference of temperatures between
coolant and structure. Bigger the difference, faster heat exchange. Coolant
ports are integrated part of the structure.

Structures

Nuclear reactor. This is a core of the plant. In this
structure fuel rods react with each other to generate heat. Heat is directly
applied to reactors hull. With applied heat, hulls temperature rises and heat generated by fuel cells fall down
the hotter hull is. Reactor core is a multiblock structure that can be expanded
in order to contain more fuel rods and coolant ports. And reactors size
determines the amount of heat radiated in to the environment as passive
cooling.

Boiler. Boiler is a structure where water is converted to steam
by applying heat. Known to us all boilers would use solid fuels like coal or
liquid ones like creosote oil to create heat. But this boiler uses heat from
coolant running through it. Coolant brings heat from reactor. Coolant ports
exchange that heat with boiler which than uses it to warm up water.

Coolant pump. This structure moves provided coolant through
the coolant loop.

Emergency heat dissipation structure. This structure is
supposed to cool down coolant if its temperature rises too high using reactor
vents.

So, those are the basics, but how is this all supposed to
work?

Heat generation from fuel rods. IC2s mechanics are very nice
and we can use them here. Basically, fuel rods react with each other as they
usually would and depending on those reaction they generate heat. To turn
reactor on, you have to apply redstone signal. Strength of that signal determines
how deeply you lower fuel rods into the core. Depth of rods affect heat
generation and lifetime of fuel rods. Basing on signal strength form 0-15: 0,
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100% So, now we can
regulate reactors work load without changing fuel rods position. Generated heat
goes to the buffer, which amount is further shown as hulls temperature. Depending
on material used to make reactor heat toleration is affected. When redstone signal is set to 0, fuel rods
will attempt to rise from reactor core. Since all components are affected by
temperature, fuel rods might be damaged and even malfunction, preventing them
from leaving core. Fuel rods that are inside reactor core work regardless of
redstone signal provided. To repair them, reactor hull has to be cooled down
first. In extreme case, you can end up with situation when you will not be able
to rise rods from core, nor cool it down. Situation like that will result in a
meltdown.

I think there is no need to go in depth about how boiler
works. Just imagine RC boiler where heat from fuel is replaced by heat from
flowing coolant. The main difference will be again temperature toleration of
used material. RC boiler will reach it's max temperature and use less fuel to
maintain it. In our case, you can keep rising temperature without limits until
boiler explodes from material weakening down. You have to monitor temperatures
at every point, as well as components status.

Emergency heat dissipation structure. This structure will very
effectively cool down flowing through it coolant. You have to provide it with
reactor vents. And strength of redstone signal will determine vents usage. Differently
from all other components, reactor vents are not only affected by temperature,
but also by their speed and time they were constantly used. Running them at
full speed for a long time in high temperature will result in eventual
malfunctions. Also, there is no need to provide coolant port with heat
exchangers, because cooling is provided directly to the coolant. And reactor
vents just take place of heat exchangers.

Coolant pump to work needs a couple of things. First, it
needs to detect a correct loop. it'll check coolant line through all connected
structures and back to the pump. Than you have to provide it with coolant. Next
thing is power supply. Pump needs EU to work. Last thing is redstone signal.
Again, strength of signal affects pumps speed. Pump not only exchanges heat
with coolant like other structures but also provides that heat by itself. So a
pump working at high speed can malfunction even with cold coolant flowing
through it. The sole purpose of pump is to push that coolant through the line
as a flow rate. Coolants flow rate is affected by pumps speed, amount of
coolant in the loop, coolants flow ratio. Important, flow rate and flow ratio
are different things.

All parts and components can get damaged and malfunction from high temperature. Temperature tolerance and overall endurance of components is affected by materials they are made of. Any damages can only be repaired when component is cool enough to safely touch, which means a complete shot down of coolant loop. Also, all Structures radiate some heat in to environment as passive cooling determined by a difference of temperatures.

Coolant itself.

Coolant is determined by a couple of things. Temperature
tolerance (everything has temperature tolerance), its mass and flow ratio.
Temperature tolerance determines to what temperature you can heat it up before
it changes properties and clogs up the loop. This is extremely important. Mass
affects how quickly it changes temperature. Light coolant can be quickly heated
up but will also quickly cool down going through the loop, so it's not good for
long loops. Heavy coolant is harder to
heat up but can maintain temperature at longer distances. Flow ratio determines
how easily it is for a pump to move this coolant through the loop. Because all
heat exchanging is affected directly by coolant flow rate. There are no
downsides to having a high flow rate other than stressing your pumps. While
coolant temperature is different at every part of loop, flow rate is identical
being affected only by pumps speed. Before coolant goes in to the pump, it's no
different from any forge fluid. You can move it with pipes, store in tanks
etc... However, simulating forge fluids in a coolant loop would be just ridiculous.
So, coolant in a loop works more like blood in human body. it goes through
whole body visiting its various parts and ends up where it started.

This gives us room to having many different coolants of
various properties. so why not go further?

Coolant Mixer! This is a machine in which you can mix
different coolants to mix their properties so you can create coolant that would
be best for your needs. i wonder if it's even possible to make.

Coolant is a rope that connects all of the Nuclear plant
parts together without limits. It's up to you, what you connect to the loop and
in what numbers. So why not make coolant powered blast furnace? Furnace uses
heat to smelt things and coolant moves heat from reactor, join them together
and we have nuclear powered furnace, or thermal centrifuge.
Since you can connect multiple coolant loops with one reactor, you can even connect multiple reactors with one loop creating complicated systems you can connect different structures with in different loops. The only structure that has to be in all loops is a pump.

I'm posting this wall of text now. Soon I'll provide some
images to better explain how this would look and work in practice.

Oh, i completely forgot. I named this thing
"Rwactor". Why "Rwactor"? Once I created a text file which
I wanted to name "Reactor" but I made a typo I actually like that
name so I'm using it now.

Again. I'm no modder and I will probably never make this
idea a reality, so anyone is free to take from it. All discussion welcome!

We need an RPG.
With Homing missiles.

Just reminding that MineFactoryReloaded ads exactly that. A rocket launcher with both blind and homing missiles.
But I have another idea. Dynamite nail gun. When shot at point blank range at the wall, will pierce a couple blocks in and detonate inside.

Could it not be the fact that 1.6 is not 1.7, and a 1.6 mod will therefore not work on 1.7?

Do not bother him with your empty argumentation. We all know that version mismatch is not an issue

Quote from hoho

Any chances to get a lower-end steam-to-eu generators? Something one could use as an alternative to nukes between small single-block reactors and bigger ones. Nerf their efficiency a little bit (don't allow to use the fancy turbines in them?) and have not-as-efficient steam generators. I'd just like to see a bit more gradual change in used technology instead of massive jumps. With 5 tiers of machines it'll happen to other things, would be nice if it happened with enegry generation too

Agree. Y no low tier steam turbines greg?

Quote from GregoriusT

Why did nobody give Names for the Auto Forge Hammer? It is technically a Basic Machine, even though there is currently only a Steam Version, but I will add an Electric Version too (which will make Ingots to Double Ingots and Double Ingots to Single Plates).

"Thor's Hammer". Happy now
