  1. Interesting. You running optifine?
  2. are you using BC power pipes to transmit power?
  3. It seems that mystcraft has herp-derped and changed their books. I understand one of the reasons why mystcraft was changed, but the rest of it remains a full mystery. The link books you made in your own inventory were changed to stop bypassing of anti-grief checks on other mods and bypassing of forcefields. At least having some way for these books to function as a fast travel system is now either broken or non-existent as we cannot even seem to generate a world with the crystals in it. Even with the books. Is there any way to get these working again so I can hand out a fast travel book to spawn without really having to rely on a /home or /spawn plugin?
  4. This ^^ Although I prefer a bit more complex setup :)
  5. From what you're describing, the power decreases as the ME Controller has an internal battery. When you reconnect it, it consumes a large amount to charge its buffer then stops. Also the ME Controller's "Energy Units" is converted from other power. It uses its own power system so what is indicated is neither MJ's or Joules (Or EU for that matter).
  6. Uni cable has its uses in specific places. As I've mentioned before it will short out REC's quickly. Dont use REC's with Uni cable as all faces are both input and outputs on an REC. There is no way to regulate the directional flow.
  7. Universal cable has a few pitfalls. First you cannot control what direction the power flows. If you connect it to a Redstone Energy Cell, it will short the cell out and drain all its power in seconds. Second is large amounts of the cable will severely drag your pc down. Its dynamically textured based on how much energy flows through it like a liquid pipe. It can connect to buildcraft pipes. I dont really call this a negative, or a positive bit it depends on how you look at it. Connecting it to a wooden pipe will allow it to draw items out of containers. If you're not paying attention, this can kill your power.
  8. The fortron has several modules that can change the way things work for it, such as confiscate items from intruders or prevent opening of crates. Also there is the sentry turret. Although the range is very limited for it, it can be rather effective for the casual (and unarmored) player. They require constant power, bullets, and ultra simple programming to setup. Next up is the EMP tower, who's sole purpose is to counter missiles and those pesky power armor user's capacitor. Ive seen it negate every last bit of power off my suit's 30M MJ's. Externally activated via radar, but radar does not have any way to differentiate friend or foe, so it never activates. Railgun has to be manned by a player. Only downside.
  9. IC2 is only wanted because of the power system, not the actual production machines. You will find the Universal electricity Adv Solar to be quite rewarding if enough are present.
  10. Try a dimensional anchor. Item ID# 1001. By default its only the same chunk as the block. F6 will show you the area loaded by it. Use with caution as these blocks can drag a server down quickly if they're set large enough.
  11. Bonemeal not consumed when used on Gysahl Seeds (12393) Seeds not being dropped by Gysahl Green when harvested by harvester machine. I've gotten zero from it and by hand I at least get something.
  12. YOu using any kind of breeder or is a breeder nearby?
  13. Emerald Transport Pipe (non-waterproof) is no longer working. Will not remove items from chests or storage regardless of engine or power source used.
  14. What further complicates this issue is that I've noted how its intermittent. Some days it goes for hours without reset. Then the next day, its jammed packed full of lagtastic goodness. Also, correct. I've noticed much more behaved response of bigdig with 2GB restriction.
  15. Dylanpdx: It seems there is a bug with the BC Power Pipes. You will need to have the area chunkloaded with a Dimensional Anchor so that it does not break when the area is unloaded. Why do they explode when they didnt before? Good question! Currently if there is no place to put the power, the pipe absorbs it until each piece is exploded. If the explosion happens when nobody is around, the pipe simply breaks and wont conduct. To rectify this, you will need to break every piece of conductive pipe and replace it if you wish to continue using them. I would highly recommend using universal cable first, then switching to redstone conduit if you're going to be doing any large operation.
  16. If you use energy cubes, make sure you use Uni-cable, and chunk load the spot it sits in. I've had energy cubes permanently break and require me to replace user's cubes as they become bugged and wont accept power. You can eliminate a lot of heartburn (and be sneaky about it) by using Tess, makeshift power cube, Uni-cable (connected to side with green dot as output), turret base.
  17. Is the map from an older version of MC or other mod pack?
  18. Big Dig is powered by Forge, like Tekkit (not classic). I would think you'd be able to add plugins like you did before. Just make sure they meet the build requirements of Forge.
  19. Due to the moving textures that require calculations based on the flow of energy through Uni-Cable's, every piece has to be rendered. In long or very large areas where there are many of them in operation, it will cause hordes of lag. Another thing is the number of sounds being played by the turbines. I count 3 unique sounds just for the turbine alone. The ticking one is the most absurd and needs to die. They're turbines, not Geiger counters. Each turbine is also spawning its own sound instance. This is problematic as it consumes ram quickly. Mod author suggestions: Reduce number of concurrent sounds played by turbines Fix Steam Funnels (they don't work) Make cable a two state, non-transparent, static image
  20. REC's have problems with Uni-cable for one reason. Its faces are both input and outputs, hence the use of redstone conduit is required. It will loose power over time if you use Uni-cable. Pick a power system and stick with it, mixing the types has drawbacks. REC's have a huge advantage over other power systems. You can regulate and throttle the power coming in, and out of it.
  21. Addition of railgun to power glove causes everything you perform with it, to generate heat. Correction: Everything you do in nether generates heat once you install it. Launching Lux lights, breaking blocks. Final correction: Quitting and returning game corrects this bug.
  22. I just remember that the universal electricity mods have some bits of ore processing. There are significantly more steps and machine costs, but that guarantee triples. If you want serious ore output, a process like Factorization's is impressive output. 3.5x to 4.2x output.
  23. Also, what is very strange is that this is an intermittent problem. One day it happens incessantly. Yesterday, not a peep at all! Nothing different. So infuriating.
  24. Still does it with 1.7 u25. Every time it goes to flush the buffers it jams the cpu up, freezes the game for 10 seconds and its fine for 15-20 seconds. Cycle repeats. Have to quit the game, and come back.
