Koldsnap Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I am going through pickaxes at a fast rate. What are people using to replace the mining drill / batpack combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirleader Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Modular Powersuits has an amazing glove (http://wiki.technicpack.net/Power_Fist); once equipped with a power pickaxe it slices through everything like butter (well, almost). It's not quite a mining drill, but it's fast. Of course, you need to power the fist, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koldsnap Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thank you, I was leaning toward that. Whats the best way to charge up the Power Suit? I used to use the Lapatron Charging Pad or a Charging Bench. I don't see those available now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkon Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 For charging Power Suit armor and the Power Fist, you're going to want to make an Energetic Infuser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I heard some form of power tools are going to be added in Thermal Expansion 3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badkruka Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Best way is to balance the power consumption against power regeneration you get from solar Generator on helmet and Kinetic Generator on the legs. A balanced suit never have to be recharged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon_Eleuel Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Considering a power suit can hold easily 10 million units of energy I really don't see a reason to bother with generators :| Personally I play a fair amount and have to recharge it like once every 2 weeks...

theMij Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Because of this thread I decided to give MPS a shot, and I am in love! Something else to keep in mind is that you can carry a full REC and use its charge as a backup. I keep one in my backpack just in case I forget to charge my tool, since it'll only deplete when it's in your regular inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman1346 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The modular power-suit tool is ugly. I refuse to use it. I do hope Dwwojcik is correct about power tools coming to thermal expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Ducky Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 If they add buildcraft tools we would have nice early/mid game power tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
