Next episode of the server tour is up. Was going to do the strip club this episode, but decided I'd rerecord that one to correct audio issues. nearly have all my annoying issues fixed. Final issue remaining (which i've JUST now fixed) is the annoying black lines around the video (letterboxing or w/e that is). Next vid wont' have it. Anyway link to Ep. 2 is:

Enjoy!
This is a series of SMP tours of The Dragon's Durance SMP server. We have the author of Equivalent Exchange, x3n0ph0b3, and the author of infiTools, mDiyo. Those two among several others. We have some fun contraptions, a strip club, some cool buildings, some sky platforms, and a lot of fun players. I'd like to show all of it off! This is the first video, and the first contraption featuring IC2 recyclers, mass fabricator, cobble generators, Redpower2 breakers, filters, tubes, and transposers!

Criticisms are welcome.
But they both already use Forge. Is that not implemented yet?
Thanks.
That is correct.
Have kind of an odd trouble. Guess, because of having Eloraam's Redpower, I get two different kinds of copper. This is ok, I can tell them apart. However, she also has tin. Either I've only found hers, and not yours yet, or something's squirrely. When I smelt it, I get "Tin Ingots" which don't work in IC2 recipes. Any ideas about this? Can't even get to the Re batteries to, get to, ultimately, at least intially, the Macerator. Read somewhere in one of IC2's forums, that when you macerate them, then they become indistinguishable from each other, which is cool. However, can't get to the batteries or the initial Generator. (Just started a new world after BC and BTW updated. Was into T2 in IC2 in the last one).
Again, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
It doesn't matter. Forge ore dictionary is going to mean there will only be one type of tin shared between all forge mods anyway. Same with any other ore.
Not sure :). Make sure you tell whatever antivirus you use to ignore the folder that fraps is using to record videos.
No anti-virus installed. I'm a crazy person. Also I'm very technically inclined. Do you use Fraps? do you have multiple hard drives? If so are your videos going to a seperate drive from where the minecraft data is? Is it a performance drive?
Dude I have a MONSTER computer and like 15 gig of ram and a nice vid card, but FRAPs lags the crap out of me constantly. It's almost unbearable. In addition I get epic dark vids. How the hell do you get your vids to not SUCK darkness-wise and avoid lag?
OH! Dude! The Klein Star is gonna be epic. Lemme find it for you. Meanwhile:
4.5ish stacks of mobius fuel = a cloned dark matter block in around 9 minutes. 5ish with a maxed flowing time ring. I basically have anything I could ever want because of those two DMLs. Also mobius fuel is VERY useful for fueling the Destruction Catalyst and in my case the Catalytic Lens (which is INSANELY awesome). Mobius fuel is a more efficient way of fueling these tools so you'll be able to stay down in the mine longer than you would with an equivalent (after conversion) amount of glowstone.
Once you have one dark matter locus making more is fairly easy seeing as you just stick some mobius fuel in there and keep putting in more until you have enough. 9*8=72 minutes later you've got another one (another DML). Not bad considering the first probably took you AGES.
Also since I have this crazy contraption I tend to do the opposite of the recipe you like. I tend to convert mobius fuel to uranium. LOL
It's all in preparation for the Klein star. Hopefully I have enough for a full level 5.
Sorry about the messed up upload. accidentally forgot to fullscreen for a NORMAL aspect ratio. AUGH! w/e. Tell me what you think.
Yes it can definitely be flowing water. Does not have to be source blocks. In fact if you design such that the source block is dead center 3 above your reactor with a little plus design then if the reactor heats up so much that it would evaporate water, your water will still be unaffacted (it will continue flowing BEFORE heat/cooling is calculated). You'd be able to keep the cooling from water even at those tempuratures. There's a nice graph of it in Nargon's thread.
I thought about doing a LP, myself. I think I might just bore people to death though. I do have this CRAZY awesome contraption I've been wanting to show you though for EE/Buildcraft. Very fun. In fact I'll go make you the video now! You'll probably be like "Eh. boring." HAH!
Direwolf20: I'm sure someone has probably already commented on the video or something, but the water only needs to be around the reactor itself. The chambers don't matter. so of the 3x3x3 blocks (26 blocks not counting the reactor itself) of space around the reactor (some of which will be chambers) you will get 1 cooling per tick for each that has water in it. 1/4th/t for air, and 2/t for a chamber. So you can make your reactor room smaller 
I suggest 5x5x5 room of 2 thick walls with the 3x3x3 in the center hollowed out for the reactor and chambers leaving 1 in the center on the bottom, 1 in the back, and one in the front for the wire, redstone, and access for right clicking respectively.
Hope this info helped. Love your LP. 1.8.1 EQEX is coming VERY soon (in the next few days) and will include the new Klein Star! Should be very cool! Then we just wait for IC2 1.8.1 (I think SMP support is coming first though) and you will be able to play on 1.8.1. Will you be doing a world wipe at that time, not upgrading at all, or upgrading and simply traveling for new content?
I figured x3n0 would add something like that at some point - I've gotta get around to installing that addon.
Another alternative would be to put another 2 automatic crafting tables. one attached to your chest with the lava and empy buckets that makes 3 iron out of the pstone and empty buckets (this way it ONLY takes the empty buckets) and one to turn them back in to empty buckets. This way you could do it before getting your volcanite. Though it looks like you've decided on going for the volcanite anyway. 
Direwolf, the heat distributers also transfer heat two and from the reactor hull. Not sure you mentioned that. Great vids!
Hey man! You know that the EE IC2 addon has a recipe for easily making lava cells? You don't have it yet, but later it could come in very handy. Empty cell, redstone, redstone, volcanite amulet!
TONS of lava cells easy! This makes Geo-thermals far more plausible for long term energy! WOOT!
Nuclear reactors should change some of the blocks within a certain radius (probably based on how efficient the reactor was or how much uranium was in it) in to radioactive versions of that tile when they explode in addition to their explosion damage, of course. Probably would be fine to only do this on natural blocks such as sand, smoothstone, dirt, and grass. Perhaps this block would glow. These blocks would need a special tool to mine up (something for cleaning up radioactiveness i don't know what it would be called) and cause slow damage if a player is within a certain number of tiles. Perhaps if they wear certain armor it would protect them.
Mainly I think it would be cool for the repurcussions of a nuclear blast to include some of the natural blocks (maybe even some of the unnatural ones) to be changed to radioactive ones.
LMK what you think.
So is this basically never going to happen? 
Display MoreCool :).
I've been kind of staying away from TOO much EQEx stuff for now, because I want to experience IC2 a little bit vanilla first, and then upgrade things with EqEx stuff. I waited a while to make that destruction catalyst for that purpose. Wanted to see how the mining drill and laser did on their own. Thats also the reason I'm not doing the macerate gold -> Diamond cycle a lot, it feels a little like cheating to me :).
I'm also using all my diamonds for IC stuff, so haven't had a chance to make too many items from EqEx. I'll probably get an Obdisian factory going at some point, but that requires an awful lot of investment up front. Obsidian factorys are useless unless you have the Volcanite, Evertide, and Gem of Eternal Density -- so thats like 9 dark matter right there before I can start using the cheaper recipes to duplicate them.
I think Epsiode 2 of my EqEx series featured my Obsidian factory from my old world, I had like 48 of those things all pumping into a chest, it was insane.
IC2 is really the star of my LP series, for now at least. I'll go into more EE and BC stuff soon though :).
Yeah I agree. I'm glad you're doing it that way. I think it feels a little like cheating too. I'm contemplating not using EQEX at all in a new world. I've messed with all the stuff in the mod now. Once you get started on EQEX you quickly get more and more rich as you progress. It's crazy. once you have a Dark Matter Locus you are effectively making 576 diamonds every 5ish minutes doing nothing but transmuting.
Display MoreIt is very helpful! Thanks!
I'm currently researching how these machines work, so you can guess what I'll be doing in Episode 14, (Teaser!).
I'm also toying with the idea of doing a series dedicated to just IC2 tutorials. The wiki is currently hit/miss with some of these details (I might try to make some changes to it at some point) and I'm getting pretty comfortable with the wiring mechanics and machine mechanics.
Thanks again!
Yeah. The EQEX/IC2 combo is insane. EQEX is already crazy but combining everything ti diamond ore then breaking it back down to gold ore and macerating it doubles your diamond yield. I'm surprized you haven't made a Gem of Eternal Density yet. I got my first Dark Matter Locus last night, and it's INSANE. I have basically unlimited diamonds now. Combined with the Flowing Time power time item it's basically a new dark matter block every like 5-9 minutes.
I put like 13ish geothermals on my mass fab and created an epic recycler system with buildcraft and recyclers and an alchemical chest with dirt in it to throw scrap in a box for me. it used to go in to the mass fab which at the time was powered by my reactor. I like it this way better. I put the power from the geo's in to an MFSU with a lever on it switched on (stops the MFSU from transmitting power but not from charging). I can then just wait until I have a bunch of scrap and put it in then switch the lever allowing me to be sure it's got scrap in it 100% of the time rather than having to make buildcraft keep up with the very FAST rate at which mass fab uses it. If you're interested I can make a video showing you the automated mass fab/scrap contraption AND my epic obsidian generator buildcraft machine that pulls it's redstone stock from a chest too.
btw I'm mistershakie on youtube.
Display MoreHey guys,
Wanted to ask 2 questions:
1) How much energy does a Mass Fab need, and can I hook it up to HV current (MFSU) directly?
2) Teleporters. There was talk about a teleporter using energy relative to its distance traveled, is that how it works? Any ideas on what kind of energy we're talkin about? Also, do they work on MV or HV?
Thanks!
The Mass Fabricator uses 512EU/s which is HV. You can plug in a lower current if you want and it will happily generate the Matter just not as fast. If you plug it in to your system it WILL suck your energy dry. I suggest giving it dedicated power. Being that you're on EQEX in your LP you're probably best off making Geothermals and giving them lava cells which are REALLY easy to make using PStone. Recipe should be in your recipe book. You'll need a Volcanite Amulet.
The teleporter can't be wired to directly. It just uses the energy of "nearby" MFSUs. I'm not sure if it will also use MFEs or how close they have to be or whether the unit has to be touch it with the output face going in (that's how my test setup was and it worked). You WILL have to wire redstone to it from a button or lever to activate it. Each actual teleport (not redstone activation) will use distance^0.5*inventory where:
inventory{
100 per any animal
500 for mobs
1000 + 100 per item for players
}
This calculation came from a [Bugs] thread, so I'm not positive of it's accuracy. In my tests (very short range) teleportations didn't even take up 100k of the MFSU I had next to it.
Love your LP. Hope this information was helpful.
What do the 1-C and 1-B and all that mean?
