Neowulf Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 It would be a great big ball of wibbley-wobbley timey-wimey... steam. Quote
Markarthian Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 However cool 3d time sounds, the current string theory (or better said, the new one (as there are loads of em) with built in support for gluons, gravitons and sfermions) doesn't allow that. It only allows 2d time. Which, in a sense, is way cooler in this context than 3d time. Think of a five dimentional cube storing liquids O.o Quote
Lethosos Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 You know, there is a Xychlorium Void block. Now that would be useful in a Multitank structure... Quote

techno156 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I thought the tesseracts in TE were a reference to that.. But I could be wrong, I have been on multiple occasions Quote
Markarthian Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 12*12*12*12*12? Yeah (3 space ds and 2 time ds), so: if you alter the cube in any way, for example: adding liquid would not only affect how much cubic metres it would fill but it would also bend time around it, thus changing the size of the tank, thus changing the amount of cubic metres stored per time, thus changing the time bend, thus changing the amount of cubic metres of stuff stored. If time would be 3d, it'd just be two parallel cubes with data about stuff in it. (Not super parallel though, mind you) Edit: closed the loop. Quote

JakeVH Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Why call it a cube? A 2d object with equal sides is a square, a 3d object with equal sides is a cube, but a 4d (and up) object with equal sides is also a cube? Quote

JakeVH Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 But why not call them all "Hypersquares". Our brains can't really see past 3d, so we just try to shove 4d and such into a 3d box so we can see it. A 2d person would probably call 3d "Hypersquares", but they should have their own name. 'd before my email even told me. Quote
JakeVH Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Perhaps we should talk about the original topic. I think it was something about storage? Quote
holymage! Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 You people make my head hurt. Go away with your fancy science! i like it though...it give me something to confuse my friends with other then relativity and time dilation Perhaps we should talk about the original topic. I think it was something about storage? the max size of a xycraft tank Quote
Michael101 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 But it's hard to stick with just one tank. I like how the railcraft and xycraft multiblock tanks both allow load sharing among multiple tanks. I can create huge walls/towers of tanks sharing an input/output. Quote
techno156 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Curious, what happens if you put a valve between a tank storing water and a tank storing lava and complete it? Do you get liquid obsidian? :P Quote
holymage! Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Curious, what happens if you put a valve between a tank storing water and a tank storing lava and complete it? Do you get liquid obsidian? i would like to know this result as well...please test it for me :) Quote
danidas Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Nothing as the valves are smart enough to only share liquids if they are the same. Quote
holymage! Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Nothing as the valves are smart enough to only share liquids if they are the same. i wanted liquid obsidian :P Quote
jonjon1234 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I believe the newest forestry adds liquid obsidian, correct me if I am wrong though. Quote
techno156 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I suppose you could technically do the same with buildcraft tanks I'll try it out on my test world, okay? (It appears that something is leaking my other worlds...) EDIT: I can say buildcraft tanks don't work: http://imgur.com/5tXZDVL Quote
Sev Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Actually you can stack XyCraft tanks together, up. Meaning you make them max-wide, and the highest-evah! I love XyCraft tanks, I am gonna use them instead of RailCraft, mainly because they look nicer. Shame I literally wasted like, a ton of MJ and iron on that iron. But, yeah. XyCraft = The Best, ever. (Well, pretty cool. I really like ThaumCraft. Plus a few other mods. But it's really cool.) Quote
