Naterocker1999 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Me and my Brother have Started playing tekkit recently and wanted to build a cool base.we brainstormed and wanted to build an underwater Factory. after asking some of my freinds we decided pumps would be an adequte way to take the water out after building the frame however after doing a dry run on my creative world i ran into a few proplems. 1. although i had my nanosuit on i still toke damage 2. when i was using the pump it got to the point where water would come out of the pump but not the base i belive the water had formed and infinite supply.How can i prevent this? If you are not such a noob can you give me some pointers? also if you have any ideas one how it should look please tell! =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okamikk Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 1. you were drowning, the nanosuit does not replensih breath, only prolongs it 2. are you reall that lazy that you can't get rid of a single layer of water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Star Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 A Nano Suit, while very protective, it does not help in drowning. If it is a single layer of water, just use buckets, or place wool in the water area and burn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukie666 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 1. Answered in the post above. 2. Depending on your views of EE, this can be handled in a multitude of ways. EE has an item called a volcanite amulet than destroy water source blocks if it has a source of fuel either glowstone or a klein star with stored emc. The other option is just fill in the source blocks with anything, sand is a decent choice, but I remember watching a youtube vid that had someone using wool as a material for a reversed mold and just burning it when it was sealed in glass, but not sure if this is still viable. Personally I would go the EE route, its much faster and less material intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using sand can be a lot cheaper as far as materials go, and so can wool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this is idea however im worryed that when useing inside the base it would still destroy blocks on the outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctichenry Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I personally would use MFFS with the water remover upgrade. Just use area projectors on sphere mode, build your factory, then collapse the shield. All the water stays on the outside, and you have a nice factory space on the inside.

I was right about to say that. The domes are pretty cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctichenry Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 IKR, im personaly investing in 5 domes right next to each other with a tube projector punching a hole through each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazDude2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 however big you want them. I believe in MFFS1, (the version Technic uses) the max is 32? but I could be wrong. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naterocker1999 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Everybody here has been a big help but still once i make the ForceFeild water is still in it is there anyway to get water out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggins Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You need the water removal upgrade, not quite sure of the name though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctichenry Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ya, the max size is 32. If you are thinking of a fiew dome shaped things, then use the area projector configured to be a dome. however, if you are looking for a more tube shaped factory, then just use the tube projector. Eather way, you should probs read up on it vea the link on the mods page of the main site. Also, word of caution: If you use the blockcutter upgrade, it drops all the blocks it breaks, createing a metric crapload of dropped items, so you will encounter a massave FPS drop for the next 5 min.

V00doocat Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Just a side note on drowning... Charm of vigor which is part of Thaumcraft prevents drowning. You have to research the item though before you are able to craft it. It takes damage over time but can be repaired using talisman of repair or with Covalence dust. Charm of vigor is very useful indeed when working in submerged areas and making bases such as the one you are planning. It also sustains the body, meaning you never need to take on food again.
