@JeffreyLin Yeah, I plan to be a busy busy bee slurping up these pools into drums.

Actually, wait a second ...

So yeah, we'll be powering our bases off cheap child labor from The Philippines.

I'm hoping to find a larger lake or ocean of the stuff, but I doubt it

Did someone say make a frame ~~quarry~~ pump?

Tim Post

8:48 AM

So my daughter had some friends over, I went AFK to get some snacks for them, and I hear OMG YOUR DAD IS A MINECRAFT GURU ZOMG THIS IS AWESOME!! ... I was in @KevinvanderVelden's base .... :/

Kevin van der Velden

11:45 AM

@TimPost nice :p

user43095

1:09 PM

@TimPost To be fair, his first floor is pretty cool...

aytimothy

4:52 PM

Hello.. Does anybody mind if I join the server? (IGN: aytimothy)

Tim Post

@aytimothy Sure, I can whitelist you, sec

@aytimothy Done. Welcome to our very strange world :)

Kevin van der Velden

Only 99% likely to kill you!

Tim Post

I should probably put a linkbook to the workshop at spawn. That would be polite and all

Kevin van der Velden

I'm ordering my AE system to build me 98 capacitors...

This might take a while

Tim Post

98 sounds like a good number. 97 could be simply disastrous and 99 would be presumptuous and show-offy. I approve.

Kevin van der Velden

5:07 PM

It's a 7 by 14 square

To fit the other 7 by 14 square

Tim Post

Something tells me you're up to something with pink slime if you're storing that kind of power

Kevin van der Velden

Perhaps

I'll need to digg a hole down to bedrock then for the lasers

Also the pink slime has been nerfed! You need 9 pink slimes for a single precharger =[

Unionhawk

Wait, you're telling me pink slime is used for magical space ores from lasers?

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Unionhawk

...

PowerCrystals, u so weird

aytimothy

5:36 PM

Looking forward to join you guys :) | Logging in about 12 hours.

Tim Post

Some people build floors out of stone. @KevinvanderVelden uses capacitor banks.

How many blocks high are you going with that thing?

Kevin van der Velden

@TimPost one, probably

Maybe go one down (there's a hollow floor beneath it)

It's still building those 98 btw, that's the original set, the one I'm currently building will go in the hole beside it

Tim Post

Okay, so now we know what would happen if Tesla played minecraft.

@aytimothy There's now a small cobble hut right at spawn, with a linkbook to age 3 in it. That leads to a community workshop. You'll see a diamond chest under a pig, help yourself to whatever you want from it (it's a community chest), and any of the machines including the AE system (and contents within) found in the basement of that building.

Just exit using any of the portals behind it, my base is the closest one to spawn (about 200 blocks north), @Jochem's is about 150 north, then east a bit.

Kevin van der Velden

5:52 PM

Mine (TBYourdoom/Vandammetje) is floating over the ocean so probably not a good idea

Tim Post

That base isn't floating, that base is waiting.

Kevin van der Velden

Preparing

user43095

6:08 PM

I like how I can have the capacity of @KevinvanderVelden's power system in ~20 blocks.

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin really? how much storage do you have

Unionhawk

@JeffreyLin I don't believe you.

aytimothy

Okay.. @TimPost I'm confused with the modpack at hand; do I use the DW20 modpack plus the extra mods or do I install the modpack plus extras found on the site?

Kevin van der Velden

Install the 1.7.10 DW20 modpack and then those linked on the site

Tim Post

@aytimothy I need to update the site. It's the DW20 modpack with the extra mods

The extra mods are linked in this room's description

Unionhawk

6:14 PM

Direwolf20 pack plus extra mods

aytimothy

Thanks for clearing the confusion.

Unionhawk

Version 1.0.2

Tim Post

And I think there's one mod missing from the extras actually. I'm a horrible web person

Unionhawk

Oh, yes, plus extra mods and also thaumic NEI

aytimothy

Wait.. Hangon.. @Unionhawk the Direwolf20 ModPack v1.0.2 runs 1.6.4 and the server is 1.7.10. Are you sure that's the right version?

Unionhawk

6:21 PM

No it doesn't. The 1.7.10 pack, version 1.0.2

It doesn't help that they didn't like, increment the major version number for this pack.

user43095

@KevinvanderVelden Well, after I use up all the resonant ender I have. Which will happen shortly. You should have about 1B RF through, am I correct?

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin just about right now

user43095

yep, about twenty blocks should be able to replicate that.

user43095

So at 5M per, you should need 200 for that amount. Interesting.

Kevin van der Velden

6:36 PM

Mine however provide nearly a million RF per tick

Resonant ones are tricky to do that with =p

Tim Post

@aytimothy Yeah, it's the latest version for 1.7.10

I really need to update the info page on the server. Tomorrow-ish.

I now have a fully enclosed, nicely capped, well-lit pretty much explosion proof base :) \o/

user43095

@KevinvanderVelden That might be overkill for my everyday usage

user43095

Plus, you can only transport 10k/t.

Tim Post

Is that what the extra utilities hyper transfer node is capable of?

Kevin van der Velden

@JeffreyLin 20 per cable

Tim Post

6:48 PM

@KevinvanderVelden What's the output limit on a capacitor that size?

user43095

I think he said 1m/t

Kevin van der Velden

@TimPost almost a million

user43095

If you link the two capacitors together, it might be better than two separate.

Tim Post

FYI, while ramming my head against the wall trying to get Loren's age 'kid-ified' stable and awesome, I cheated in a bunch of notebooks. My writing desk is stocked, feel free to copy whatever

I would have preferred to not do that but I also wanted to get her age done before wondering how I'll collect my social security

Unionhawk

You won't technically be able to get it stable because Mystcraft

Just, any age with standard stone generation will be unstable, at least a little bit

Tim Post

6:55 PM

I did actually, you just have to remember a bunch of things (weather, lighting, directions, etc) If you have all of those things, there's no debuffs / instability

user43095

I think you can do a command to turn off instability per world.

Tim Post

But you're probably end-game before you find all of those pages (at least ones you want in your age) so I say pthbbbbbbb to instability.

And yeah, there's an op command to set instability to false, which I ended up using on my last try

user43095

Also, can you check TPS?

Tim Post

we hemorrhage ticks on a good day, something wrong?

user43095

Mobs just seem slow, seems to be that way since Thursday.

user43095

6:59 PM

Plus it was a pain to tear walls down this way.

Tim Post

I'm seeing more block lag than usual too

Vandammetje

@TimPost Oh, I like that. Now I can finally complete my collection of pages

Tim Post

I'll fill up some ink vials

user43095

Not me, my base currently doesn't have anything resource-hungry.

Tim Post

@Vandammetje There's stacks of paper and ink at the ready, have at it :)

Vandammetje

7:05 PM

@TimPost Awesome, thanks! =D

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin You know what it is? The server hasn't been restarted in a while because it hasn't crashed because I found the root of (what we thought) was that IC2 thing

user43095

really?

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin Yep, it was the power converter mod (I forget what it was called), I took it out

No one was using it, all of us used the rednet power conduits for RF -> IC2

user43095

So then you might need a restart script.

user43095

you could also use Extra Utilities.

Tim Post

7:08 PM

I'd be open to that, but I'd want a smart one.

Vandammetje

@JeffreyLin Or you need chickens.

Kevin van der Velden

@TimPost enetbridge

Tim Post

@JeffreyLin Extra utilities does EU->RF, not the reverse

I am really happy with my base now. I know, small achievement, woohoo got a roof, it was just a very expensive one to finally finish :)

user43095

Also, what can I put into the piggy in the workshop?

Tim Post

I don't quite know what it does, I just found it and .. well .. put it there because it's easy to say "The stuff under the pig is free" :)

I think it gives easy access to donate to open blocks if you put something from open blocks in there

@JeffreyLin Yeah, that's what it does. You get to say "Thanks for making this [specific thing]" as you click the donate button, if you put something from open blocks in it

user43095

7:20 PM

Does it eat the thing?

Tim Post

I ... would imagine not.

It just lets you open or copy a URL based on the block you put in (just tried it)

user43095

Where does the link go to?

Tim Post

To the donate thing for open blocks

user43095

Ah

Tim Post

(said pig is from open blocks, I found it in a dungeon)

user43095

7:23 PM

@Vandammetje Thanks for the snowballs!

Tim Post

There's a linkbook to age 11 in the workshop

It's .. interesting.

user43095

What's age 11?

Tim Post

All the pyrotheium you can eat

along with a super flat world full of basically everything from the overworld and the twilight forest

I've been doing a lot of mystcraft stuff today

re-starting the server

Wow, yeah, last crash report was 3 days ago, looks like that did it.

Kevin van der Velden

No crashes for 3 days! A new record

immediately proceeds to crash the server

Tim Post

@KevinvanderVelden THAT IS NOT A CHALLENGE SIR

Well, I was going to get into witchery next, but the more I looked at witchery, the more I said 'meh'. I think I'll do some more on TC, and rebuild the tower of power I had in 1.7.2

@JeffreyLin Yeah, that was it, block lag is now 1/2 of what it was after restart. I'll look into something that greps the latest MC log and restarts when it starts bleeding ticks

That also means finally fixing that init script, which I've been putting off because it's going to be painful, but it needs to be done.

user43095

9:03 PM

@TimPost Preferably it would restart when there's nobody online, I think Minecraft uses the GameSpy4 prococol or something.

user43095

9:23 PM

Client crash, huh

user43095

I blame @KevinvanderVelden

Kevin van der Velden

9:40 PM

MOAR LASERS

user43095

So it is your fault?

Kevin van der Velden

No, there is no mention of lasers in your crash

user43095

So then what's the problem?

Kevin van der Velden
