I'm planning to since my gate generated right on the nether lavalake shore. It's an interesting map so far that it gave me. I rode around in a boat around my tiny landmass and didn't see any other land for 300+ blocks in all directions. My island has maybe 2k square blocks of area at best. Only downside was no volcano :/

right now I have 2 geo units hooked to 2 stacks of 24 tanks both full, batbox full, pipe from layer 12 to 66 full, and much more lava below still. whats interesting is when it first started it sucked the lava lake down 1 block fully and since then has not "drained" it lower at all. Infinite source found?

can i just destroy the new stupid portal it made in the overlworld and force the other 2 to link?

um, i dont know what happened this time. I made a gate on layer 45 ended up in the nether on 32 on the shore of the lava lake. went back thru the gate and it made a new gate in the overworld 180 blocks away. wtf???

ok, so with this fresh start I did 4 watermills initially and now geothermal. with 12 tanks and a 100 block long pipe now full and my batbox full this is nice I'm going to assume at some point I'll need to move the pump though even though the lake I chose was massive.

I cant find a happy layer to make the first portal on myself. Layer 12 sucked in the nether appearing on 22 way below the lakes. Layer 80 sucked being thrown up on FU isles. 64 is almost as bad as 80. I'm thinking maybe layer 40?

i'm still puzzled a bit on the adventure mode vs survival. I know adding the wood colors to made products like stairs were coming. The placing upside down stairs happened last update. I kinda got pissed when my suggestions for new blocks got deleted from the MC forum with no notice or pm and I had searched beforehand for anything remotely like my suggestions and found none.

what i have done in the past sometimes is to make a second portal 20 or so from the first nether portal in the nether and spawned a new portal in the overworld. Then depending on the outcome I destroy that nether portal in the nether and use the newly generated one in the overworld.

breaking ssp mod's how? I know the requirement coming for all mods to be smp friendly, but i don't see how that breaks the ssp use of a mod.

I really want to give this an honest go this time and do it right without the need to manually bucket the lava. First off, to pump lava you need the BC pump right? The one upgraded from the mining well. Second, is it easier logistically to pump the lava up waterproof pipes to a surface generator or really waste alot on expensive cables to run the power up? We're talking 80 blocks give or take from my desired location. if I pump the lava up, do I store it in tanks like oil?

wierd. it was unreachable by me for at least 36 hours.

usually that means a corrupted save.

all i was getting was the apache test page for 2 days here.

I missed you guys so much :)

nope, and both sand and sandstone are behaving the same. I have them both set to filter into this chest and as with all the rest go on to the condenser when the chests are full. Right now its 2:1 rate they're bypassing the filter by. i flip flopped the 2 chests on that leg and they seem to be working right. Maybe it glitched on first setup?

i've set up a nice filtration system now off of my quarry feed and i'm having an issue with sand so far with only half wanting to adhere to the diamond pipes chosen filter and go into a chest. The rest ignores the filter and goes straight to my condenser. Dirt and cobble which are coming in from the quarry at a fairly higher rate are having no problems filling their respective chests. Is this common/known?

Thats what it appeared to use when I tested it with solar panels. I put the link on the quarry and then a batbox and then used lv and basic panels to get a breakeven to show on the batbox. I always use the batbox now though to keep it from hiccuping when I have brownouts early in a game :)

I am gabberflastted

to power the quarry?

windmills cannot power a quarry directly. you need an energy link to transfer EU to MJ for BC machines. and 2 redstone engines are a joke for it. Redstones alone you need about 20 to power 1 quarry. Otherwise feed 18 EU/t thru an energy link to the quarry.

I dont think the alchy chest does that. You're thinking of the energy condenser which is made from the alchy chest.

I'm working on setting this up as my return to surface from layer 12. It's being a bit quirky and I keep moving the magnetizers. I need 2 for my setup and something thats being vague in game needs clarifying. Does this NOT work with the magnetizer sitting next to the rail? I've had it work for 2 trips now in this manner, but the only method consistently has been with the magnetizer inline with the rail itself which is semi-defeating the purpose of an elevator because you hit your head on the magentizer.

i did it as a cost thing starting a new map. 6 of them were easier to make faster than solar to power a single macerator, extractor, and e-furnace. I dont have glowstone dust yet to make a meter, but i'm doing alright with them and 6 solar panels now charging 2 batboxes

if its .1eu/t per water source block around the mill in a 3x3x3 its 2.5 if the mill output is .25 than its not .1eu/t per source block.
