Here's a quick howto:

1) Make a generator and a grinder (because grinding is really the killer feature).
2) Make a Switching Station <-- this is super important.
3) Make cables.
4) Connect the cables from the generator to the Switching Station from the bottoms of the devices.
5) Connect your other devices from the cable coming out of the Switching Station (they can connect to the sides).

If you want automation via pipeworks, you'll need MV, but if you don't need it you can get by with this sort of setup (and it's reasonably cheap):

4 Geothermal Generators (1200 EU)
1 Switching Station
2 Grinders
2 Electric Furnaces
1 Alloy Furnace
1 Battbox
1 Extractor
1 Compressor (this one is fairly optional)

The above will require a bunch of copper and steel, not to mention 6 diamonds (4 for the generators and 2 for the grinders).

Looking through the modpack, I noticed a stargate mod. Does it still work, and if so, how do you generate/craft one?

You're using a old version of Technic, StarGate is now packaged separately. However, the StarGate mod in old versions of Technic should work (although I wouldn't recommend it on a multi-player server as it creates thousands of little files in the main world directory currently).

If only some mod (like technic) had a device that could detect the presence of ores.

I made this post in the topic for Nore's mapgen. However, I wish to ask you to consider such a device.

Something like an OV Scanner? That would be pretty cool.

'unified_inventory' is a mod, seems like technic depends on it.

The supply converter does not seem to be working right. Even when the wires are hooked up properly, no power is received.

From my experience with this mod, you need to have a switching station on both circuits in order for it to work.

How do you use the quarry?

Quarry is an HV thing, so you'll need some kind of HV generator (the solar array is probably best, although that'll take a while to build if you're in survival mode). You'll then need to run some pipes (from pipeworks) to it for storage. The quarry uses 10000 EU, so you'll need either 9 regular generators, 2 HV solar arrays or 1 nuclear power plant.

Let me know if this is helpful. I'd like to do a whole series of these guides:

-- Cheap, low power energy --

LV Generator + Switching Station + Battery Box

The above is a good start on using your energy to its fullest potential. It requires a sizeable investment, but the return is savings in time and energy in the long run.

Total Price: 25 Wood, 7 Stone, 4 Tin Ingots, 7 Iron Lumps, 15 Steel Ingots, 27 Copper Ingots

Once crafted, you should have 4 LV Cables left which should be plenty to connect up a small network of LV devices.

LV Generator Power Times (same as a furnace burn time):

1 Leaves = 1s x 200 EU/s (200 EU)
1 Grass = 2s x 200 EU/s (400 EU)
1 Wood = 7s x 200 EU/s (1400 EU)
1 Sapling = 10s x 200 EU/s (2000 EU)
1 Tree = 30s x 200 EU/s (6000 EU)
1 Coal = 40s x 200 EU/s (8000 EU)
1 Lava = 60s x 200 EU/s (12000 EU)
1 Coal Block = 370s x 200 EU/s (74000 EU)

Note that a LV Battery Box only holds 40000 EU, so you'll need more than just the above configuration if you use coal blocks. Note also that Coal Blocks are the best way to use the Generator (8222.2 EU/coal).

You could also use my Charcoal (gs_tools) to turn each tree into charcoal, which gives the same characteristics as coal (and improves the burn time by 37% if you use charcoal blocks).

If you don't mind using lava, then that is the most efficient source (though it can be difficult to handle with the current tech, so is not really recommended).

Furnace:

The Electric Furnace (5 cobble, 2 steel, 1 copper) uses 300 EU/s. Without a battery box, you'll need this configuration to avoid wasting energy:

3 LV Generators + Switching Station + 2 Furnaces (600 EU in and out)

Total Price: 10 Cobblestone, 21 Stone, 7 Iron Lumps, 16 Steel Ingots, 22 Copper Ingots

While slightly cheaper than the previous configuration, this does limit you to running just this configuration, whereas the previous one lets you add whatever devices you want to the network without having to worry too much about wasting energy.

Note that all cookable items in the LV Electric Furnace have a cook time of 2 seconds per item (the coal furnace has a standard cook time of 3 seconds).

That works out to 600 EU/item, which gives you roughly the same number of cooked items per fuel, but in 50% less time.

(8000 EU / 600 EU = 13.33 items/per lump of coal, in 26.67s instead of 40s.)

In theory, you could load each furnace with 20 items for each coal you load into the generators, although in practice you'll waste about 3 or 4 items in each furnace per session simply from the time involved in loading each generator. This waste of power is why a battery box is a good idea.

Sorry to keep bumping, but I assume you guys are stunned in awed silence at the work I'm doing. ;)

Here's an image of my recommend LV 6-diamond setup.

technic.kosyak.info is not working. The icons for the recipes don't show up, but the output does. (a bunch of blank crafting grids, and the items next to them.) And unified inventory is not showing the recipes, and I cant figure out how to make motors! D:

I just noticed, like half of the stuff in technic isn't showing up in the unified inventory thing.
Fine copper wire, Copper coils, motors, etc. are not listed.

Seems there aren't textures for these items. Using latest git of technic for this.

Is there a way to remove certain parts of the mod? I want to (temporarily) remove lasers and drills (the lag causers). I would like to make a small (10-15 player max) server, and those would murder my machine.

Yes, create a file called technic.conf in the world directory and fill it with this:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
Code: Select all
enable_mining_drill = false
enable_mining_laser = false

See config.lua for more options.

It seems your version is outdated, as there's no call to scan_for_tube_objects in line 158. It's possible your pipeworks version is outdated as well.

Please update to the latest version of all mods and see if the error persists.

We're going to need something more specific, would you be able to post the contents of your debug.txt? (It's found in the bin folder).

Also, what version of minetest do you have?
