Dead bush, you're my only friend.

Also, advanced lighting technique 2.0:

Lava florbs.

Yep.

Best idea.

@Unionhawk What's your problem with the poor dead bush? it died for you.

Actually, if it's a necessary part of the game, I'd say it died because of him.

@TimPost That's even worse. He murdered that poor bush so he could advance his game.

You have to watch those bush whackers, they're bushy alright.

I can not seem to get water into these railcraft boilers no matter what kinds of pipes I try, or which sides I try to put it in

Ahhhh, it goes into the firebox.

@arperum dead bush is on part with the other basic rewards anyway

I gotta get MJ off my power converters, that dude is just too expensive for me.

Happy little boilers.

@TimPost This made me think of the Korpiklaani song "Happy little boozer".

Now to just make sure I always have enough charcoal in the system

So, I found a bug in our version of IC2 that might interest you.

Place an induction furnace, nowhere near power

give it a redstone signal

;)

ah crap, nevermind, it heats up to 100% with no power, but won't accept items until you power it

Huh, thermal centrifuging 10 fuel rods (and remaking the iron into new fuel rods) takes an entire CESU

Yeah, you probably want to keep that thing hot all the time with a redstone signal, if you're not already doing it

2/3 of the CESU was consumed just by that thing heating up

If you keep it always 'on' and hot, it eats a little power (I think something like 8 EU/t), but the gain is, every operation doesn't cost you a ton of EU, which is basically wasted on making it warm again.

You can use an AE level emitter to heat it up for you as well, if you get close to wanting to make a bunch more. But that's not much better.

The most efficient setup I found is 3 mark 1 reactors, with a timed power up, so that every 10 minutes a full reactor cycle completes. That basically means spending only 2 'real world' minutes wasting idle energy ticks on a centrifuge, it'll otherwise either be processing more uranium to make fuel rods, or the spent fuel rods.

In fact, one of those isotope generators is perfect for free energy to keep that thing hot, and you probably have enough plutonium by now to make 3 of those pellets, which is all you need for (I believe) 16 EU/t

Now, with these steam boilers, I want them as hot as I can possibly keep them all the time. They only explode if they run out of water and you try putting more water in them (empty) while they're hot, right?

@TimPost always give induction furnaces a redstone signal. Best way to keep them warm.

@Arperum The 'i have power' indicator lit up when I gave it one prior to powering it is all, for a moment I thought I tricked it into actually having power.

Now I have to figure out how to automatically mine redstone and lapis that I'm getting from the nether. Thinking ... set up a very small quarry, let it run, then stick some formation planes on the sides of it. If I keep it powered after it finishes, it should see the new blocks and mine them.

Nothing that I can think of requires either in ore form.

@TimPost well yes, but an operation happens every... 27 hours?

No that's not right

Every 2 hours 46 minutes and 40 seconds is a cycle

@TimPost I hadn't automated the the system until earlier today so I have 2 pellets (I didn't have a depleted fuel rod to set my filter to)

Hmm powergen:

@TimPost can't you just smelt nether ores into two regular ores and then macerate those?

@TimPost SAG mill works well

@Jochem macerating it only gives like, one back according to NEI

Or wait, you can't macerate it*

not the nether ores, but you should be able to macerate the regular lapis ore you get from smelting nether lapis ore

I was talking about the regular ones =p

Nether ores can only be smelted

@JeffreyLin yes and no :)

In that order =p

During what?

I just saw Rosh and figured you were fighting roshan (from Dota)

@JeffreyLin I have no idea, I've just used multimc

@JeffreyLin amongst others me, I've added you

I think

I've told the server to add you at least

@KevinvanderVelden you have to reload permissions I think

@Jochem not if I use the whitelist add command

@KevinvanderVelden ah
