akhayo Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Played the new tekkit in normal mode for a couple days and quite liked it. A few things i noticed: creating a big bag required a lot of string, leather is no problem i just builded a cow farm, but string you can only get from spiders, cause you can't macerate/pulverize woll anymore. Was a bit of challenge. i did not build quarries until the end and they are moving very fast and produce a lot of cobblestone. You can't do much with cobblestone. Converting it to iron with the minimum stone depletes the minimum stone very quickly. Maybe a way to actually destroy stone? Just throwing it into lava was already a lot of manual work. i found it a bit easy and was already turning off magma engines cause the power couldn't get anywhere. I did build a lot of redpower cells but 10 seem to be more than enough. Just some thoughts :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvariae Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 1) String is plentiful in abandoned mineshafts, just bring some shears and cut the cobwebs. 2) Void pipes automatically delete anything that goes into them, but if you can, you should look into Deep Storage: http://ftbwiki.org/Deep_Storage_Unit. 3) Energy tesseracts will allow you to send power over distances/dimensions. If you need a power sink, build an ME network: http://tekkitlite.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Applied_Energistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melfice Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 1You can't do much with cobblestone. 2Maybe a way to actually destroy stone? Just throwing it into lava was already a lot of manual work. 1) Create a Magma Crucible. Melt the cobblestone down to lava. You can then use this lava, in combination with water, in the Igneous Extruder to create cobblestone (useless, of course), smooth stone or obsidian. 2) Create a small pit of lava and have a buildcraft pipe hang over it. Items go through the pipe and end up in your lava pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvariae Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I just discovered this, but there's an option in the ThermalExpansion.cfg under the 'Tweak' section that reads B:Pulverizer.Wool=false Change that 'false' to 'true' and you should be able to pulverize wool into string in a 1:1 conversion.

King Lemming Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hmm, wonder why that was turned off? It's off by default because I feel it's kind of a dumb thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onmius Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Here how I solved the cobblestone problem, I have my quarry pump items into an item router, and on the bottom of the router I have a void pipe, then I simply filter dirt and cobble into the bottom of the router and everything else to the sides where they are piped into a gold chest.

Calvariae Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's off by default because I feel it's kind of a dumb thing. I always thought so too back when the macerator was around, but it is damn convenient. Did you ever think about using the sawmill instead of the pulverizer? Still dumb but at least logically feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
