New Forestry update is pretty snazzy, just installed it, the apiary has a nice new GUI.

Spoiler: There's also this good stuff (click to show/hide)

[Mephisto]

Still water seems to be working fine for me, and I'd considered a waterbucket based one, but I much prefer having it be totally passive, as of right now, the bank of watermills covers the cost of keeping my 4 advanced machines revved up, which means I no longer lose any energy at night.

Also, I'm pretty sure only obscuring 1 water between two is impossible, as it counts diagonally adjacent water blocks as well, so you're guaranteed to have at least two blocks per generator being covered.

I was thinking of a water feed system powered by logistics pipes that uses 3-5 buckets and just constantly cycles the water in and refills it automatically with a RP2 deployer. I've done something similar before.

When I get home I'll work on both designs and post whatever I come up with.

You probably don't need logistics pipes. It may be cheaper to use filters to color the water and send it to the correct colored windmill.

I use 1 retriever, 1 deployer and 1 filter with 6 water mills, 7 pneumatic tubes and a 3x1 infinite pool of water on my saves. Works fine and gives me 6 EU/t. I feed it about 9 buckets so it's always on.

I'd rather not use a design like that myself, although it's much more efficient, I prefer the aesthetic of having a tangle of wires emerging from the ocean.

Logistics pipes would offer more control though.

As soon as I released my 32x32 Forestry graphics and update appears. Happens all too often .

[The Merchant Of Menace]

You must harness your ability to make updates happen~

Also, this may be of interest to you.

[Briggsy16]

It's of interest to me, thanks MoM.

[Vattic]

I am aware of them re-releasing my stuff. Only bit that I have a beef with is:

The texture was made by Vattic, and the modded textures are mostly from PAKAM45T3R

Which is frankly not true. PAKAMA45T3R has submitted a lot (most of the EE2 and a little Forestry stuff) but more again is either my own or by others. Doesn't really matter but I think they should get some mention.

I also notice that it's heavily out of date.

If you want to make your own thread for it, I'd happily sticky it in the texpack board for you.

[Mini]

Eloraam likely has something similar, as her ToS specifically prohibits reverse engineering and distribution of her reverse engineered and illegally distributed Minecraft code.

I actually doubt this, since (iirc) she's said she doesn't want to do that until she's stopped making major changes to it (an example of which is the rewrite of logic circuits a version or so ago).

So you can't just post a thread in there? Oh and you're an admin over there?

I had been holding off making my own all in one Technic texture pack because I only had a few of the mods supported. This is less of an issue now but I think I'll wait until the next version of Technic is out and aim to have all the mods supported for that.

Cheers.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah, I'm one of the moderators on the Technic forums, and you can just post in the texture pack board, but having your pack stickied means it'd always be at the very top

And that sounds cool, Technic 7/Tekkit 3 shouldn't be too much longer now.

[Vattic]

A kind offer. I will contact you when I've posted it. Cheers again.

I remember reading that forestry had some code in it that did not play nice with the technic launcher. Is there some way around that, or was it removed? I'd like to try out forestry, but I like the ease of use of the Technic pack.
