Morning everyone!

Kevin van der Velden

Morning

Jochem

09:37

Arperum

10:27

Last night we connected about 25 new thermal generators to our lava using grid, and in a couple hours our nether lava lake ran out >_> So now we have to go fudge around with our pump because our whole power system shut down >_> al thanks to that matter fab...

Kevin van der Velden

It's never to early to start on renewable power sources =p

Jochem

10:48

I haven't really been playing in weeks, and I'm 99% sure my boilers are still up and running with my treefarm

Arperum

11:22

We'll have to, moving that pump all the time is not an option.

2 hours later…

Arperum

13:20

@Jochem Do boilers produce EU or MJ? Since we need 200-300MJ/t for our quarries and then As much EU/t as we can handle for the matter fab

Jochem

@Arperum They produce steam, which you can feed to either a steam engine for MJ or a steam turbine for EU

the turbine consumes steel though

Arperum

@Jochem And what do they use themself. they probably don't run for free (they'll outprocude their usage for certain, but still.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum they use fuel and water :)

Jochem

@Arperum You can run boilers on a lot of things. There are two types, solid fueled and liquid fueled. Solid takes anything you can burn in a furnace, with varying burn-times.

liquid takes either biofuel or regular fuel, but they tend to be much more efficient

also water, like @KevinvanderVelden said

Arperum

liquid fuel might be a bad idea for now, since we have literally a single bucket of oil.

Kevin van der Velden

13:24

A single aqueous accumulator will provide more than enough for the biggest boiler.

Jochem

@Arperum you can use forestry fermenters and stills to produce biofuel, it's renewable

Kevin van der Velden

Jeah boilers aren't meant to be stopped, they're meant to be run 24/7 :)

Arperum

Our farms aren't the most automated things in the world either. (They are automated by golems). And they are kind small.

But we'll have to do something about it all anyway.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum got MFR and a source of bonemeal? :)

Arperum

No MFR, we have a very small steves cart tree farm up and running though. (about 20-30 trees)

Jochem

13:29

@Arperum that should be plenty to keep a 36 block high pressure liquid fueled boiler happy

Arperum

We have a t5 skeleton shard though, so I can create some kind of a bonemeal source

Kevin van der Velden

Make it bigger, there's a minimum size before a steves cart is at full efficiency (big enough that most trees have grown when it makes a loop)

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden How do you get the cart to be automated for fuel input though?

Kevin van der Velden

Nice, but without MFR my favourite mass production won't work =p MFR fertilizer, planter and harvester working together

Arperum

Currently it's manually inserting 3 stacks of blaze rods every now and then.

Jochem

13:30

you can feed bonemeal to a fertilizer module in a steve's cart

@Arperum you can use a cargo manager(I think) to stuff fuel back in

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum just tell a cargo manager to put items into the fuel slots

It'll automatically put the wood in

Or if you preload it with wood it should keep it stocked up while running

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Cargo manager is that thing where it drops it's wood of in isn't it?

Kevin van der Velden

Jup

Arperum

The other player made the steves cart and completely fucked up the insert into manager part. I fixed it after some trial and error.

So there is a lot of things that need to happen before our energy is properly back up and running :p

boiler, steam to energy thing, boiler feeding thing, steves cart extension.

We can burn as many blaze rods as we want though, I do have an automated T5 blaze rod farm set up.

Jochem

solid boilers run on blaze rods as well

Kevin van der Velden

13:36

@Arperum what @Jochem said, do that :)

Jochem

you can also make steam with factorization, if you have tons of spare silver

Arperum

And wasting some rods is not a problem :)

@Jochem How much is a ton?

Jochem

though it's not terribly powerful, there's some threads on the subreddit

uh... 8 per mirror, you need dozens of mirrors

Arperum

I have no idea how much silver we have, but probably 1000+, 4 completed quarry pits+ 3 partially digged out pits might have done that.

(each and every single pit is 64x64 of course)

Jochem

not sure how efficient it is, honestly... Once it's set up though, it doesn't take any resources to run and will just continuously produce steam

Arperum

13:40

@Jochem oh right, we have a very small setup standing around (with 8 mirrors IIRC) when I was trying to get factorization batteries to reload (and failed horribly)

Jochem

You might just need more panels... you also need two blocks for producing charge from steam now, one boiler and one turbine (I think...)

I gave up on making FZ charge through FZ quickly when I realized I could just use a power converter to generate it from my main steam grid

Arperum

@Jochem I'm sure I have the two blocks, but the shortage of mirrors might be the reason, don't know.

Jochem

I'm not a huge factorization fan, honestly. Everything it does, some other mod does better, excepting maybe the barrels

gnovice

To all the bee experts... Will an apiarist chest or indexer still hold all the bees when broken and moved?

Kevin van der Velden

@gnovice I dont think so

Arperum

13:52

@gnovice Isn't the indexer the infinite storage thing that has bugs that might empty it?

Jochem

@Arperum hehe, infinite bee storage with bugs :D

gnovice

@Arperum Yeah, I was leaning toward an apiarist chest for that reason.

Arperum

@gnovice These do tend to end up full faster then expected though.

2 hours later…

Kevin van der Velden

16:15

Heh, server's been running for almost 4 days without a reboot and I've not heard anyone complain :o

Jochem

@KevinvanderVelden have people been playing? >_>

Kevin van der Velden

@Jochem sometimes

3 hours later…

Ender

19:36

Hi!

Kevin van der Velden

Hey

Ender

the chat room! it lives!

how goes it with you and your minecraftitties

odd. i cannot edit.

Arperum

@Ender Maybe because chat likes your typo?

Kevin van der Velden

19:54

@Arperum agreed, I would let that typo stand as well :)

I only need 23 thousand buckets of biofuel to fill my tank :o

uuh 17, bad math ><

Ender

20:09

that doesn't sound to difficult

i think i got that in my change purse

Kevin van der Velden

^^ its a quantum tank though, so its 99.3% full atm =p

And it already has 2K buckets more ^^

Ender

O.o

whats a quantum tank

Kevin van der Velden

gregtech, stores a lot of liquid in a single block :)

feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/Quantum_Tank

Ender

why do you need that

Kevin van der Velden

@Ender Because why not? xp

Ender

20:20

touche

Kevin van der Velden

20:40

Welp, off to bed :) Cya guys

7k buckets to go btw =p

Ender

20:52

lol congrats

i just set up my first auto tree harvester system. very proud! :D

2 hours later…

Jeffrey

22:50

Hello

Coronus

Hi!

Jeffrey

Hmm, feed the beast.

Coronus

Yes, please.

Jeffrey

lol

I might join just to take a look.

Do I have to make any particular request here?

Coronus

@Jeffrey cc: @KevinvanderVelden

I am not sure if he'll get that. What's your IGN?

Jeffrey

22:54

jeffthelad

IIRC

@Coronus Does that mean that I can't access the server right now?

Coronus

@Jeffrey Right, it's whitelisted, so you need to be added to get access.

Jeffrey

Allrighty. Thanks.

@KevinvanderVelden, could you add jeffthelad to the server, please?
