Man... How do I automate the Ore Washing Plant in LP? Like... 3 Outputs, I don't even know where to start

6 hours later…

Ieuan

08:00

@DH. transfer nodes

You can just make it input crushed uranium/depleted rods and pull out the different piles and dusts

Jochem

@Ieuan you can also just use an extractor and provider module, if you're just extracting stuff. I think he wants to automate it using crafting pipes

Ieuan

@Jochem he shouldn't though

Why would you want to do things with crafting pipes

Stop crashing the server >:(

Jochem

there might be some on-demand crafting thing it does, I forget

who me?

Ieuan

@Jochem yes you too

Jochem

I'm actually responsible for about half the tick time at the moment, on my way to fix that

Ieuan

08:07

I mean I guess there's not really a different early game autocrafting solution than LP and stuff

but y'all be crashing the server regardless

Jochem

@Ieuan the server's running fine, isn't it? I mean, right now there's some TPS lag, but I think that's the massive platform I'm building in the last millenium

there's not really any other option than using LP earlygame

and even midgame

Ieuan

@Jochem yes because not everyone is using LP for everything anymore

@Jochem AE isn't nearly as end game as I thought it'd be

Really only gated by getting some ender pearls

Jochem

that, and running a nuclear reactor for a pretty decent amount of time, and a ton of EU

Ieuan

@Jochem yeah but reactor gives EU too

If you're actively working to AE you could probably do it in 2-3 days

Jochem

@Ieuan I'm just saying, it's not just enderpearls, it's a lot of setup and babysitting of various machines, with a lot of microcrafting involved

I wouldn't have wanted to build three reactors and a bunch of IC2 infrastructure without access to autocrafting

so, 2-3days at 8 hours a day, maybe...

Ieuan

08:15

@Jochem sure, it's a little more work but also a lot more reward

Jochem

it's just not really realistic for most people (me included) to set all that up without some kind of sorting / autocrafting system

I really hate microcrafting manually. I really like setting up long microcrafting recipes and watching the autocrafters handle it (be they AE or LP)

also, me and my platform apparently aren't to blame for the lag...

@KevinvanderVelden

Ieuan

@Jochem Yeah I guess not everyone likes the mass microcrafting

Time to unload @KevinvanderVelden's base >:(

Jochem

that's in the last millenium

Ieuan

That then >:(

Jochem

08:30

I'm getting to the point where I'll have to soaryn up my massfab, I've got ~11k EU/t coming in with only about a stack of iridium to go before that goes up to 15kEU/t

Ieuan

@Jochem damn

You could ME fluid stuff the UU matter

Jochem

08:52

the UU isn't the problem, the problem is that you can fit 8kEU per side of the mass fab

2 hours later…

Kevin van der Velden

10:43

@Jochem wut o.o

Jochem

@KevinvanderVelden there's now 2000+ stacks of items in the last millennium :)

Kevin van der Velden

Jochem

you and sifters apparently don't mix :D

I think it's stabilized at ~2000 stacks, it's going up and down so they're probably despawning quickly enough-ish

Kevin van der Velden

Also do /xu_killitems

1 hour later…

Kevin van der Velden

11:47

So I replaced the 8 or so auto compressors with compacting drawers

Because they couldn't keep up

3 hours later…

Ieuan

15:15

@KevinvanderVelden why not just pass everything through some drawers with void upgrades?

Kevin van der Velden

3 hours ago, by Kevin van der Velden

So I replaced the 8 or so auto compressors with compacting drawers

I didn't put in void upgrades but I did do just that

Ieuan

Wouldn't use the void upgrades as long as it's flowing through immediately but in case like this it would make it so there's not items literally everywhere

@KevinvanderVelden Well maybe you should if that's all that's needed to fix it :P

Kevin van der Velden

@Ieuan no that's not needed to fix that

The problem was that auto compressors are slow

And transfer nodes transfer 1 type of item at a time

Ieuan

Oh nvm

You just now did that

Well like 3 hours ago

But after @Jochem shared the screenshot

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Ieuan

15:18

@KevinvanderVelden how well do compacting drawers deal with heavy throughput?

Kevin van der Velden

Easily

I'll make a screenshot

DH.

15:41

@Ieuan Oh so you say to use a buffer chest to handle it, OK, will try that next time

Ieuan

16:13

@DH. Yeah I just have a diamond chest that handles both input and output (filtered transfer node for depleted rods and ore on chest, filtered transfer node on the thing) and then that's hooked up to an ender chest (same filter as the thing) for output into AE
