My 2.67/2.67 ghz dual core is more than enough, and it's fairly mediocre and old (7+ years).

Are we allowed to use chunk loaders? I'm considering using one to keep my pipe system running when in another age.

As long as whta you have loaded doesn't slow down the server.

An Ender chest, some pipes and a few chests? Its so I can drop stuff off in an ender pouch indefinitely (or at least until the chests fill up).

Just don't do anything Grundz or CaptainPrice would do and you'll probably be fine.

For the Memory stuff- there's a known issue with Mystcraft- if you use the portals too many times (or books, or whatever) you'll start to get memory leakage and horrible framerate droppage.

That's not really an issue with Mystcraft as it is with other mods in the pack "holding onto" chunks in dimensions you've left. So it appears as a symptom from Mystcraft use, but it's not the cause.

Basically, you leave a dimension and Minecraft tries to unload the chunks from memory, but one of the mods says "hang on, I'm still using that" (sometimes even if it's not). So it sits there using memory. Not necessarily bad at first, except that if you go back into that world again, it loads those same chunks into another part of memory, using up more. Rinse and repeat and eventually, blargh.

It affects all dimensions (nether, end, twilight forest) not just Mystcraft ones.

This is apparently the main reason Rei's minimap is not in Ultimate, as from what I've heard it was especially bad at holding stuff in memory when dimension hopping.

Hey, the person who's place is around 300 800 in the Overworld (the tower complex made completely out of Warded Materials)- you're drawing an aweful lot of Vis from the surrounding nodes- I notice the couple of Pure Silverwood nodes you have inside- those're doing a good job of keeping the Flux down, so good on you there- but what in the world is drawing so much Vis with you AFK and the chunks not loaded? I traced the energy flow all the way from Darkinnit's village!

GregTech is one of those mods I should note.

Mostly irrelevant, even if we removed Gregtech there would be other mods with the same issue.

I never advocated removing gregtech.

Rather, I advocate gregtech's modmakers to be more competent.

Yeah thats my tower.

It could be some sort of delayed effect from using an arcane bore near to my tower, it drained somewhat more vis than I expected and depleted several large nearby nodes.

Im not using the bore near my tower anymore though Ill just use it in the mining age if I do.


Im planning on building up some larger pure nodes at my base to help replenish the vis in the area Ill just have to go find some more silverwood saplings.



Other than that all I use vis for is making some warded blocks and repair enchants.

I thought it would be an arcane bore...

Also, I still need that other 4 uu matter from a certain person

Yes ma'am...

It has been over a week since I used the bore though.

What's the best way to transfer EU across dimensions?

Musta been my travel through the chunks, then, loading them up. I mean dang, though. Even your Dark Node was down to the tens, out of, what, 400 or so?

This, people, is why we don't use Arcane Bores in the Overworld. Best bet, actually, is to use Crystal Capacitors with the things- Capacitor use, I think, doesn't create the Flux that direct Node use does. Might be wrong about that, though- I'll have to test it sometime...

Yeah I have capacitors but they arent fully charging atm, I think the nodes need to be larger.

Best way to transfer EU across dimensions is converting it to Buildcraft Power and feed it into an Energy Tesseract. Then, on the other end, turn it back into EU.

Or rather, that's the only way I know of.

Storing it in energy crystals and sending it via an item tesseract works too...

Ew, no.

That's a 25% loss in energy, very bad idea.

For late game, there's the IDSU, but before that, Energy Crystals in an EnderChest or Item Tesseract is probably the way to go.

or if you want to do it with style, make a horizontal Mystcraft portal and drop MFSU-carts through it.

Would anyone with knowledge of computercraft be interested in making an elevator system for rapture? I need a compact way to direct the frame based lift to 8 floors.

Sounds like a fun little side project. It just needs to pulse a redstone signal a certain number of times to move the frame to the correct floor, right?

It needs to be able to detect which floor the lift is currently on and pulse the correct number of times (to the correct motor) to move it to the floor from which the lift is called and then repeat the process to move to the destination floor.

I'm thinking of having one of those touchscreen displays on each floor to call the lift and a frame motor inchworm to move it.

Ok inchworms don't work in two directions, back to the drawing board.

Seems I cant use an Arcane bore in the mining age, as soon as I turn it on the lag becomes unbearable and the machine doesnt work.

Arcane Bores are known to be extremely buggy (and lag generators). But hey, that's pretty much Thaumcraft all over.

In other news, I may have found out how to restore aura nodes that go AWOL (without having to reset all aura in the entire world). Need to test it though.

As for the lift, it should be simple to save the last floor it arrived at and then calculate stuff from there. I think I'd do a rednet wireless system again for communication between the touchscreens and the lift controller. Touchscreens, variable saving, redstone pulsing, multiple input sources, wireless, oh my!

Lol dont get too excited there.

Capacitors only store Vis that is created above the normal amount, I think- you'll need or want a bunch of Crystal Clusters around the node.
