Not_U, I have to ask where you found an atomic penguin...

That's not an atomic explosion, that's red matter kicking the fabric of reality in the teeth and stealing its wallet.

Anyway I found some penguins in the twilight forest and tried to move them to the overworld. Now mystcraft book travel combined with ion thrusters and manipulating gravity doesn't quite agree with penguins too well, so I tracked down some transformation powder and made some penguins out of chickens using science the uninformed would call a form of hedonistic magic.

Then it was simply a matter of sciencing the rest of it until it sorted itself out. Many penguins vanished of course; nothing the science of jamming wheat down their throats couldn't counteract. With enough science the square peg will not only fit through the round hole, it'll burn that block of wood to the ground and hunt down its loved ones for getting in its way.

Science-- the Cave Johnson Way.

I've run into a situation with my lava pump station and was wondering if anyone could help explain it.

Logged on to find my lava supply not working. I assumed it had run out, so link booked to my lava pump station, in the nether, coords +1272, +2854. Here I found the cobble hut which houses the pump damaged, the pump turned off, and the waterproof piping removed. The ender tank, which connects to said pump system uses the colour combination yellow, red, blue. A combination I've been using since the start of the game. My conclusion here is that someone started using an ender tank of the same combination, found it filling with lava and as a result, turned my pump off in order to use that colour combination.

I checked with Dark and he did not turn the pump off due to lag/any other reason.

Alternatively someone just felt like visiting the pump station and a ghast hit it or something?

What kind of engines do they use? Sure it couldn't have been that going boom perhaps?

The pump uses four redstone engines to power it. There's no way they could have exploded.

Hmm, then I'd have to agree someone's probably taken refuge from ghasts in there and the explosion from that damaged it. But, suspicious not to mention it.

They may not have a dakka account, a few people on the server don't.

For the future, I'll give you diamonds to make the tank network private. I personally don't like having public tanks...

Well feth.

Managed to lose my quantum legs and boots (plus some assorted other stuff) in this huge unlit tunnel that goes through one of my quarries in the mining age, sigh.

Actually, I think that Redstone Engines can explode when being used to power machinery- it was an update. May or may not be the update Ultimate is running on. But it was meant to make people have to use higher tier engines to power their higher tier machinery- not Gregtech, just the mod author wanting to add a little required progression to the system.

Redstone engines will only explode in two situations.

1: The RS engine is powered but not hooked up to anything.
2: A second RS engine is directly powering the first RS engine.

In no other situations do they explode. In both situations, they will last a long time in red before they explode, and an attentive person will notice it long before-- normally, the RS engine toggles between red and yellow phases, because it passes its energy faster than it can produce it, but when it's stuck in red, it's very obvious, and needs to be rectified immediately.

I've had redstone engines instantly blow up in my face when I accidentally connected them to a geothermal generator's output, but I can't remember if that was tekkit or FTB.

Yes, if they have too much power stored, they'll blow up. That is the number two situation I mentioned.

They will not naturally store too much power if they have no other engine inputting in to them-- they output faster than they input.

To reiterate what I said to Oshunai (since it was probably lost in the dicussion):

I wasn't trying to tell you to do anything or whatever. But you really shouldn't be strip mining in an area dedicated to quarries. Even if it was under my quarry before I put it there (which I can't confirm or deny), it's still kind of crappy. The quarry I have is a few hundred blocks away from your sign (and existed before you started your own quarry there), there was no reason to expect there to be any mined blocks under it when it in an area that, according to the signs in the Mining Age nexus, was meant for quarries.

I realise my mistake now, though when I originally dug tunnels and used my arcane bore manually the area was unoccupied in every direction. If you feel that you lost valuable resources by my old tunnels then I am happy to give you any resources that would perhaps compensate you for your loss.

If you have a concern like this again (or a problem with anything I do on the FTB server) please do not use swear words when talking to me as it comes across as extremely aggressive.

Well, at least you put it kindly, honestly at first I thought you were joking when you said you wanted to kill him, among other stuff....

To be fair, my poor mood had nothing to do with you, and I apologized for it in chat.

I don't request you give me anything, Osh. I'm just explaining myself.

I never said I wanted to kill Oshunai.

Or... anyone, really. I don't like PvP on minecraft.

No you treathened to actually kill him, not in MC

I didn't do that, either.

Has anyone claimed the redrock mountain at X=1750, Z=750, and attached wasteland?

Looks like it, the village has been expanded and there's a marble house on the wasteland. But if you do live there, you're pretty much next door to my thaumcraft desert base.

Someone owns that village Melissia, presumably whoever owns the house to the north of it. When I was there it was lit up and had a stone wall built around it. =P

Okay. Hm. I guess I'll claim the area around the redrock and wasteland combo at -2330 1000 then.

The inchworm drive for The "Banhammer" is almost ready! Soon I'll get to work on the body skeleton and even the rear engines! Can't wait for this to work!

I am in need of an unreasonably large amount of mercury/quicksilver/cinnabar ore.

At least three stacks, preferably more.

Anyone have some for trade?

What would you need with that much quicksilver???

Using it as a grinding medium. I asked earlier. Already gave her my 55 Cinnabar Ore.


Update on the tower- I am in need of Spruce Wood now, as well as quite a few more Arcane Alembics. I am starting on the Library.

(still need to figure out the transportation system- it might work to simply have a single shaft going up and down, and you just step off at the right level...

White-White-White is now setup!
i'll be adding more, different resources over time, don't abuse the abusable resources like redstone or hook them up to machines and such or i'll take them out

 The Dark Apostle wrote:

I need to convert 3 stacks of silver ore in to 9 stacks of silver dust.

FTB Ultimate has been updated to 1.1.1 - however the server has not, yet.

I'll do some tests and see how soon I can update it. Please be patient.
