So it's a good way to save on the iron when building an array of machines, but it's not required.

Xycraft Aluminium is useful for making glass viewers and "tin" cans. But there's still far too much of it in the ground, maybe make aluminium blocks to build factories with?

I also have far too much iron, both are essentially useless to me in the volumes I have.

Wait, you need aluminium? I have a stupid amount of both gregtech and xycraft versions.

centrifuges need aluminium plates and stuff now IIRC was what I was trying to make, so yeah I need a bunch in order to get infinite copper and tin production up

Would you be interested in purchasing some aluminium plates? I need iridium (or UU) and uranium as per usual.

I also need UU

people should come together to make a very good power generating system to power a few fabricatres and work together to get more UU

Or everyone can generate their own power and UU...

put more power=more UU, correct?

do people really need UU? if I could figure out how to get only excess power into it I'm sure I could be cranking that out too.

I don't need U but a lot of people want it, I was just making a suggestion

If UU is a concern for people, my current system makes scrapboxes faster than I can use them. I have no qualms with shipping them out via enderchest. The UU-matter generation I have is chunkloaded, so you'll get a steady supply. I can even supply enderchests if that's a problem- had a mishap with a project table and made at least two stacks.

I have around 2000 stacks of scrap, the issue is power.

yes, maintaining power is the issue I have been having, after some advice from dark I am using excess mj using an energy link, as well as my reactor, and am producing 1 uu every 50 minutes, which really isn't that fast.

Darkinnit is using five industrial steam engines to power his (converting it to EU), it produces several UU a day.

My plans involve using solar power to produce the EU needed, since using UUM I can occasionally upgrade the solar panels to produce it faster anyway, and that way it's always on. With it being always on, I just need to wait and go do something else.

True, scrap's not an issue, but anyone without a recycler array should let me know. Most that scrap's going nowhere.

Redirecting my massive cobble reserves to my AE now that it's set up. Will probably take up a few disks, but it'll be worth it to concentrate the entire stores, never mind the technological look.

People will probably hate me when I say this but I'm pretty sure if we work together we could scrape out a fusion reactor, it's be like a community project witch would benefits as we could hook it up to a matter fabricator.

I kind of want to set up a big power plant. I want to see if I can combine magic and technology together.

Your banned......

Assuming he didn't clear up his issue with Dark concerning his long lost evil twin/alternate reality self/clone/mind controlled self...
I'm assuming that's probably what happened... possibly all of them at once. Maybe they ganged up on him.
Who can tell?
Dark can. By looking at logs.

Yeah, n0t_u is back.

However, that doesn't set a precedent that you can all go and blow up someone's place and then say it was your friend/brother/dog. You are each responsible for your account.

A lot of what went toward's n0t_u's pardon was the two years without incident. Not many of you have that. ;-)

So who was it? And how?

I'd say that's privileged and best taken to PM's rather than the thread

Mel this is the rebellious tree I was talking about before.


I kind of got in the mood to explore the ocean for the right type of trench. Found a couple so far I'm thinking of.

Also -10k,-10k was boring. Now it's slightly less boring.



Edit: Just found that place the mega-build age made completely redundant.
At -10446, -12534


It's as a set of a couple large sized islands and a couple of small ones.

Edit: Found a new volcano I'm happy with out at -11347, -15631. I'll be building underwater with basalt, so shouldn't run out anytime soon.

direct any excess scrap to red red red, I can use it, or at least scrapboxinate it to help supply public resource chest

Looks pretty cool, Iustis!

I set up an automated wheat farm, a bit small but for now it works. Because the materials used to make it are so cheap (the only thing that's 'expensive' is the golden axe), we can probably figure out a way to make a much larger farm through using the Planter, the Fertilizer, and the Harvester from MineFactory. We have a ton of rubber after all, so might as well make some plastic stuff, and we can power it through either MJ or EU, so we have options on how to power it.

Only suggesting we try this since your golems are only competent enough to harvest melons, and I'd prefer wheat because it's much more versatile.

One thing all you'z with tons of Scrap could do, is make it into scrapboxes and cycle it through a, what is it that right-clicks? Dispenser? Placer? That Redpower thing that does a 'right click' on anything inside it- Scrap Boxes have a chance of providing all sorts of neat stuff- just have it dump into a hungry chest, obsidian pipe or what have you- if it's a Wooden Hoe or something else useless, just cycle it back into your recycling system. But you'd probably be able to get a few diamonds and some other stuff out of it...

Actually with all the excess scrap I'll probably use it to make fertilizer for htis farm, and convert the wheat in to biomass then to biofuel.

this sounds like a good idea until you try it, it's a huge pain in the butt, impossible unless you use pipes and a lot of filters

my system first uses scrap to make fertilizer, if scrap levers exceed the 8, it scrap boxes it, which gets filtered to a distro system, which opens the scrapbox and only takes out the "good stuff"

The golems can do wheat if you were so inclined.

They kept trampling the wheat and mucking it up.

Oh weird. I havent had mine do that so far.

Smart straw goles replant plants they destroy, so with the wheat it could just be because it isn't smart.

You have to make an intelligence core for the straw golem.
