wait without redpower, is there still a way to get liquids out of pumps? I need sewage!

**Grundz**

as long as my meatorium can sit on a lake of sewage and blood I am happy

I need to read up, but why would you liquify metals? I've had a lot of nonsensical issues trying to get liquids out of pipes near eachother, unless the smelter is smart enough to pull the right liquid or you have an easy way to tell the wrong liquid to get out of your tubes it seems like a stupid system, cool idea, but stupid.

I could program a turtle to fill the void of the end with meat

Wherefore are you getting these meat bricks? because I may have to join you in your quest for gory glory.

I'd love the help,
minefactory slaughterhouse makes liquid meat which you combine into ingots/bricks, we will need a mob farm that defies logic

My plan is to cut off a large body of water, and drain it
Build a massive meat tower in the middle, I'm talking titan sized, using red/pink wool as needed for bleeding sores, huge eyes, arms, ect out of it at odd angles, nightmare stuff and such that pour unto the ocean that I pumped out, except the ocean is now sewage, redstone blood, and other horrible liquids
Continue with adding grasping hands, floating bodies, ect. ect. throughout the "ocean"

Well, I've been mucking about in creative mode and I've managed to create an almost-perpetual Minefactory/BC energy system.

Just need this set-up:

Minefactory Oil Producer -> BC refinery -> BC Combustion engines.
( linked using RS energy cells/conduits/etc, the storage is the important bit)
So long as you can provide enough BC energy to generate a single bucket of oil and refine it to fuel, then it becomes self-sustaining (as the bank of combustion engines will create more power than is needed to make and refine a bucket of oil. (Can be scaled up/down as required).

Also, apparently mushroom soup is now a liquid, the next tavern is going to get a big-ass cooking pot full of soup that you can sit in...

There's a number of these that generate slightly more power than they use, lava+magmatic engines being another one.

I'd be willing to bet that a combination of Generators, Furnaces and Tree Farms would be able to get you a charcoal-powered infini-source.

thats actually how I started my mega farm, the issue is that its not consistent so if you need a few generators running for machines, you're good
If you need generators running 24/7, more of an issue

I could pretty easily make a turtle that would roam around and fill quarry holes with sand, returning to a home base ender chest for refills of coal and sand

I don't know why people are asking for stuff to be carried over. Better to reset everyone to zero than give people an advantage over each other or whatever. I'm thinking it'd also involve undue amount of effort from Darkinnit to sit there and pop out a load of specific items for each and every user. It is a survival game mind...

as long as the people do their job and make sure the item id's are the same (they are in NEI) it would be cutting and pasting a little designated "chest zone" that we plop down a few days before reset in mcedit

**Grundz**

Doctadeth wrote:
The problem is that is it a new modpack as well, so some stuff would not be transferable.

right, some stuff, which is why you check item id's, its like it would kill you to spend 5 minutes writing them down then checking them in the new modpack to make sure they match

Well if people don't do that, then it leads to widespread de-pantzing and a server crash maybe

if people dont do that, their chest gets deleted

thats some pretty excellent use of microblocks

..and then likely another reset for 1.6

However, given all the overhauls Mojang are making for the ModAPI, and a lot of modders' lack of backwards compatibility, I'd predict required resets for every major Minecraft update, certainly at least until the promised ModAPI is released.

You'd think by now mcedit could have an addon to purge unwanted blocks or convert them to something else by now.

Ever since I said the R word, the server's been pretty much dead

Not sure on any ETAs at the minute, especially as the 1.5 pack isn't actually officially out yet. If you had to push me and say hypothetically the 1.5 pack was out and people decided they wanted to switch to it, then maybe a week from then?

I noticed that too,
Hey, if I could properly make a script that uses https://code.google.com/p/midas-gold/ to remove/change all block ID's that cause problems (and therefore not need to reset) would you be game? This would sort of cause the same "issues" as when new versions of minecraft came out in vanilla with the jungle biome needing new chunks and such.

**Grundz**

darkinnit wrote:

Can't we just use MCEdit/Midas Gold?
No. Biomes have changed drastically (that's why biome mods are now disabled by default) and block replacing just doesn't cut it. The world generation is completely different. Not to mention that some mod blocks that are still "the same" have completely different functionality and will break.

I dont understand this part, if your crap gets dumped into a different biome, or a bunch of blocks would have generated differently if they were generated, that doesn't break the world.

**Grundz**

Vanilla doesn't 'have terraformers though

Anyway, I bet that given a reset you could all re-build your Houses/Villages/Manufactorums/Mage Towers/Volcano Lairs/Biodomes/Angrydomes in the same time if not faster than I could convert the world (or one by one import every single thing) and test for block ids/item ids/biome ids/mob ids/world corruption/errors/lag/explosions.

The newest generation of technology is meat based. THE FUTURE IS MEAT.

I'm really hoping meat can be xycraft walls, and also makes a nice slap-slap-slap sound when you walk on it.

+1 for a reset without gregtech to 1.5 Ive reached the point where to make anything interesting I need to spend about 20 hours staring at a 3x3 square...

This is the primary reason I went to AE storage, the autocrafting is necessary when higher end machines requires like 20 steps of construction.

I was thinking of having a public ME that would be cut off from my storage but would allow all the patterns from my interface, but couldn't figure it out.

For Darkinnit to replace them all is Herculean, even with Midas/MCedit.

Er, I'm not 100% sure here since I haven't done it yet, but with one person on skype I can have this hammered out in about an hour or two plus processing time

Well if people bothered to read my initial post I said that we could make an ocean age and build the land we need for ourselves.

People did read your post Apostle, then gave well reasoned and logical arguments as to why 'building Morrowind' is an impossibility, and moreover, a project that won't get finished. You need to put into perspective just how large a landmass the Isle of Vardenfell is, and just how many millions of dirt blocks you'd need just to replicate the landscape alone.

schematic reading turtle and dirt generator, problem is biomes

and yeah, a single city would be nice as well, but which one? we could get guys building the enviment while the others make the buildings and others get the resources

Once i've claimed an ocean for my meatlab (assuming dark turns on creeper protection) people can just let me know what resources they need and what ender chest to provide it to and I should be able to take care of it, I prefer to be the backbone of a project than do the manual labor these days

Yes it would be possible to take the raw height map data out, however it would be one hell of an effort to convert that into meter square blocks, if at all. Even then there would be so many anomalies that you'd have to trawl over the whole thing to get rid of them. On a server with our low, though regular, user count I think the chances of us finishing a city, not an entire volcanic island would be pretty low...

Issue is you can't remove blocks with a mod, this is why I built much of my stuff on or above oceans
They changed how mods work like 4 times since I started the titan and I got tired of remaking it, if you know someone that knows an amount of java they can try updating it. Mineprinter and shaper were older ones that did that but they aren't posted in the minecraft mod forums anymore because they are "cheating"
There's a number of mods already out that will let you load a schematic as a template, and you will "see" the transparent template blocks, but you still have to manually place.

Hey dark, my matter fabricator seems to be shutting down when no one is around to load the chunk, or after reset or something

Currently I use tesseracts and bridges to supply about 4000 eu/t from various sources, when i'm around and watching it its about 1% / 3.5s

My theory from how much I make, is that the chunk unloads (or bridges stop working) after a server reset and it doesn't come back up
any ideas?

**Grundz**

well poo I never noticed until now, no biggie

Anyone need emerald blocks?

**Grundz**

well I made about 10 stacks of emerald blocks to save storage space

Man. Does anybody have massive amounts of Spruce? Or the ability to, say, convert a Tree Farm to using the Spruce providing Autumn saplings or Spruce trees?

I really need a ton of spruce.

Also, I'd welcome help with designing my library. The circular shape makes me rather confused. And I'm wondering if I oughtn't to replace the glass around the edge with solid stone-- might actually do that, come to think about it- could probably help the design...

bring me some saplings and I can get you some spruce
