    Plummeting Power

    in Big Dig Discussion

    Posted

    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).
    I am aware of the high energy draw when first plugging in the controller, but this is different. I watched the power, and it plummeted for quite a long time without stopping. On top of that, even after I disconnect the controller, the power still keeps depleting until I break the cable connecting to everything else. Breaking the cable connecting to everything else before plugging in the controller averts this.

    Defense Mechanisms

    in Big Dig Discussion

    I've been trying to think of defense mechanisms for bases in Big Dig, and I though that the forums would be a good way to hear interesting ideas for ways to keep pesky intruders out of your base. By all means, if you have a good idea for base defenses and want to share them, post them here!

    How do I use the Centrifuge?

    in Big Dig Discussion

    Posted

    I have set up a Fission Reactor in my basement, only to discover that I can't work out how to operate the Centrifuge required to make Uranium Rods. I have it hooked up to sufficient power, but I don't know where to put the Uraninite and the Empty Cells. I checked the Voltz wiki, but it uses the updated 1.6.2 interface so that didn't help me. No other wiki had any information on how to use it.

    Never Mind. Someone elsewhere answered my question. My understanding of Fissile Fuel Rod creation was seriously outdated.

    Plummeting Power

    I use two Solar Generators and an Advanced Solar Generator connected to a Basic Energy Cube to power all of my machines. I always have a Charge Pad and a Gun Turret hooked up to it , though the Gun Turret is not always on. I also have a Coercion Deriver and an ME Controller that I occasionally plug in. Sometimes, I plug in my ME Controller without removing the cable that connects to everything else first. I look at the Energy Cube, and the power is rapidly going down. I remove the cable connecting to everything else and it stops plummeting. I put the cable back again and it continues to cease plummeting. I have tried recreating this without the Charge Pad and/or Gun Turret attached, and it still occurs. Why is this happening?

    The link to the addon pack on the MPS website goes directly to the mod's jenkins page, which currently lists a version that isn't actually compatible with the latest recommended version of MPS (It requires build 561 or greater, the current recommended build is 534). You're going to want to use the build found here with the latest recommended build of MPS instead.
    Thanks, that worked.

    Texture pack?

    I remember I had this same issue but it was an early version of my modpack and updating fixed. Make sure your using the version appropriate for your Mc.

    I am not using a texture pack. The current version installed is for 1.5.1 and Big Dig is 1.5.2, but as I said before, updating the mod and the addons pack makes the game crash on startup.

    Top of dark tower missing

    in Hexxit Discussion

    Posted

    The problem is the Dark Tower must have generated on a hill, or in an especially high part of the world. No blocks can be generated above the build limit, so the top (and the Ur-Ghast arena) was not generated. This could be avoided by adding a build-limit increasing mod to your instance of Hexxit, but I am sad to say that your adventure to get to the Ur-Ghast was fruitless, and cannot bear fruit, since it has already been generated as-is. I'm very sorry. But by the way, thank you. I had no idea that Nether Chocobos could fly, so thanks for that picture.

    World won't start

    in Hexxit Discussion

    Posted

    I have made a really big world in Hexxit (my vast search for treasure has brought it up to 503MB) that also has some nice builds of mine in it. The other day when I brought it home from a friend's house ( I take it there on a USB drive) I put it back into my saves folder and attempted to load it. It was stuck on "Loading world" for as long as my patience lasted, and then I closed the window with minimal hassle. I tried deleting it and putting another copy of the world on my USB drive in, but when I try to delete the world it says that another program is using it. I cannot find a program that is using it. What's wrong?

    Crashing Randomly

    The Technic Launcher has a gear in the top right. Increase Permgen is one of the options. Big Dig and Hexxit both need increased Permgen. That's were it stores the mods. Hexxit has many and large mods.
    I already have the Increase PermGen box checked. It has been so for quite some time.

    Are your 'graphical crashes' occuring with only Minecraft or other games as well?
    oh wait, I misunderstood. When my graphics card was having extreme problems (which was followed by the blue screen of death), I accidentally started up Spore, and the 3D galaxy on the main menu looked weird. But aside from that, no.

    I don't know, I've been playing nothing but Hexxit for the last few days. The crashes occur randomly, so I wouldn't know for sure if I tried playing another game.

    I was playing Hexxit survival, when suddenly the program stops responding and windows starts searching for a solution. I waited a while, until eventually my computer started slowing down immensely and I had to open Task Manager and close the darn thing. It has happened multiple times since, mostly at unfavorable times. The last time it happened, when I was frolicking around a Walker castle I had just conquered, the screen the game froze on appeared to be a wood-ish texture in 3D spiky crystal form. My laptop has a history of graphics crashes every now and then, and on one occasion it went into a graphical death spiral and bluescreened. Why are these crashes occurring, and what can I do about them?

    Search for "rift" in NEI, use the stable fabric recipe it saves on ender pearls. Like TokiWartooth said, do it over water so the Endermen are hurt before you have to deal with them, and it's safer to close them. If there are too many they multiply and make it horrible on land.

    That would be great, except for one problem: I have NO ender pearls whatsoever. I tried making a rift storm, but it just keeps disappearing.

    I concur completely with the opinion that there should be an easier way of getting Ender Pearls in Hexxit, but I also concur with the opinion that EE3 makes it too easy. Also, how would I create a rift storm? My pleas would be answered if I had enough Endermen to finally construct those Altars and Crucibles.
