Re: [Mod] Pipeworks [20131128] [pipeworks]
Alright, I'll explain using my screenshot above, and your requirement "Cobblestone to last box on bottom. All lumps to first box on top." What I find best is to always turn off all the sorting tube's directions as a start. So once all that is done, to send lumps to the first box on top (I ...

Cobblestone to last box on bottom. All lumps to first box on top. 1. So how would you route that to get to the chest listed above. 2. The very first blue box from the injector, is that used at all. 3. With red, blue and green, yellow next to each other which one do you use to move it to the next so...

Teleporting tubes are much more reliable for that. I routinely send quarry output to my house 3000 nodes away with teleport tubes.

Re: [Mod] Technic [0.4.11] [technic]
Connect it to HV power, it needs at least 10,000EU to run. Attach some form of tube to the top. Normal tube, sort tube, teleport tube, whatever suits you. Personally I use teleport tubes that send the output to a sorting/processing/storage system. Set the digging radius, between 2 and 8 and enable i...

Re: [Mod] Technic [0.4.11] [technic]
The water generator works by placing water (source or flowing) around it. It produces 30EU for each side that has water adjacent, so for mine being surrounded by water on all 4 sides it makes 120EU, the maximum.

Re: [Mod] Technic [0.4.11] [technic]
Chromium is generated below -100 and from -200 all the way to -31,000 the clusters get slightly larger. Just bear in mind that the ores generated by technic are non-uniform, which means that they are not evenly spread. So you might dig a 100x100x100 piece and find no chromium, then 100 nodes over yo...

Re: [Mod] Technic [0.4.11] [technic]
LV generators don't make anywhere near that, but in essence yes, as long as you make enough LV generators to make more than 10,000EU, you can power a supply converter. But really, you're still better off just making MV generators at that point.

Re: [Mod] Technic [0.4.11] [technic]
Input power enters on top of the supply convertor, and output on the bottom. It doesn't work in any other way. Ensure there is a switching station on both sides. Lastly, and this is where you will be stuck for now, supply convertors always demand 10,000EU on their input side, and supply 9,000EU on t...

To answer the next question, you don't need a grinder to be able to make machine casings used in the LV generator either. You craft a fuel-fired alloy furnace, and then you can alloy 2 copper ingots and 1 zinc ingot to get 3 brass ingots, which are used in making machine casings. Once you get starte...

There's not much remedy for that given the amount of cable that's down there. Protect your own equipment, but the thousands of bits of cable are on their own.

Yeah, pretty much. Public equipment was griefed once on VanessaE's server, but that sort of thing is easily spotted in logs.

Re: [0.4.12dev] Cryt-Survival
Perhaps you can place a chest near spawn with a prominent sign for better visibility. You can place a self-contained injector with a tube feeding into your locked chest, if you don't want to use an unlocked chest.

Daily backup isn't scheduled yet. I wrote a rudimentary script for it, was thinking perhaps midnight (UTC+2) for a start and we can monitor when the server is busy and adjust if needed.

Re: Cryterion's Server [0.4.12dev]
If it stays pure survival I might set up shop. So many of the "survival" servers have admins that use creative or give creative to a select group, and then you end up with infrastructure generated by mass application of creative and/or worldedit, instead of built by hand.
