Let's Play! Episode 19 - Project Tables, Flax Production, and Ender Chest Scrap Machine

[TheSkrylar]

As I recall, a recycler just need crap in it; it doesn't care _what_. If you have the energy to spare you could use a cobble generator, macerate to sand, induction furnace to glass, and then use a BC automated crafting table to make glass panes.

[falconje11]

@TheSkrylar Or take cobble, macerate one to sand, cook it to glass and send 2 cobble and one glass into a table to make pipes (3:8). This is the same conversion rate as panes (6:16), but uses slightly less power. Even more efficient is to take one cobble, and put it through a series of tables to make the RP corner pieces (1:32), though the set up is much more involved.

[Muro321]

I agree with salpta. The combination makes the game rediciously easy, where as logi-pipes only takes the pain of manually crafting stuff away (which you are doing the project-tables anyway, only in a more crude manner).

[K4rb0n173]

also, great videos, can't wait to see more.

[K4rb0n173]

have you considered the possibility of using a build craft quarry with your ender chest to filter sand gravel cobble and dirt into your recycler while keeping your ores and useful materials?

it would probably be more efficient than the flax generator and if you used one steam engine with two supplemental red stone engines, it would probably be faster than a cobble generator system, and cheap since the steam engine only needs either coal or lava.

These vids are inspiring. Thanks for giving me ideas of some sort!

You could use sneaky pipes so you don't have to move.

Direwolf made a good tutorial on how to use it =]

[ShadwDrgn]

@lmacolor I don't use logistics pipes. I'm not a big fan. I don't need them though. My pipe configuration is fine. I want to move them because of how ugly it is the way I have them arranged. I have a good plan for them later, don't worry! ;)

[tantamounted]

@ShadwDrgn Sneaky pipes aren't logistics pipes. It's a separate add-on for Buildcraft 3.x that has nothing to do with automatic routing. The sneaky pipe itself can be placed on any side of a block, but has a gui that lets you tell it which side to act like it's on when inserting and which side when pulling out.

[ChilliConCarnage625]

You're using redstone??? *dies*

[ShadwDrgn]

@ChilliConCarnage625 I'm confused. Is this a bad thing or a good thing?

[TheCrazyPinapple]

@ShadwDrgn erm... you know, RedPower beggining was mod that makes better cabling than redstone...

[yancarloramsey]

@ShadwDrgn ChilliConCarnage625 probably meant "redstone dust". :)

I would really like to know what you are using to place water in the nether. It's not supposed to be possible, as far as I'm aware - emptied buckets evaporate instantly... RP thermopiles cause snow to sublimate instead of melt... etc. Water/ice blocks granted by inventory editing, or ice blocks acquired with silk touch before Mojang fixed that, are the only ways I know of. Does IC2 or Buildcraft do something that allows it?

[TheSkrylar]

@yancarloramsey You can use Pump+Compressor next to each other to produce snowballs without the need for cells, and then another compressor turns snowballs directly in to ice blocks. Place ice block in nether, break it, profit.

[alexdj7293]

4 UU matter(bonemeal) gives you 2 UU matter. I don't think that it is profitable :)

[ShadwDrgn]

@alexdj7293 Yeah. I agree. I'm going to build some cobblegens.

[HitmanReborn9999]

@ShadwDrgn Use the gens from nearbygamer sky tech!

[MonkeyMrMonkey]

How did you get water in the nether?

[TheHellEye]

@MonkeyMrMonkey 2 uu-mater gives you 1 water, in nether water can't be placed only directly from bucket.

[BigusGeekus]

@MonkeyMrMonkey IC2 lets you make ice with snowballs in a compressor (and snowballs can be made by compressing water cells). Place ice, then break.

[PureSlaughterpc]

Amazing love all the vids keep it up :)

[TimothyCoxon]

Few questions.. Do you actually have EE on atm? Any chance of a tutorial for you mod installs? (forum post or similar text based would be fine) Ever play around much with Thaumcraft? And have you checked out logistics pipes? (one sticking point for me with 3.xbc is I been having a nightmare getting logistics working properly..) Ohh and forestry lol :) I been trying for some time to get your current mods + a few extra working with not huge amounts of success...

[ShadwDrgn]

@TimothyCoxon I've never been a big fan of forestry, logistics, or thaumcraft, honestly. I don't like logistics pipes because they like they make things too easy. Same with thaumcraft and forestry.

[TimothyCoxon]

@ShadwDrgn Same could be said for EE ;P

[ShadwDrgn]

@TimothyCoxon You'll notice I haven't used any EE Items yet. v6 has been completely rebalanced. We'll see if it's better.

[salpta]

@ShadwDrgn

Anymore EE and Thaumcraft seem like cheating. Use EE to make Dark/Red Matter, then use Thaumcraft's duplication to mass-produce them into items. Get all your power items in very short order. BTW Keep up the good work SD, I've been enjoying watching an Industrialcraft Master at work!
