Got inspired by an automatic chicken farm posted in the RP2 thread and decided I could make my own but simpler.

You have a 3x3x9 chamber. The floor is made of ignighters with a transposer in the middle. Up high in the wall there is a deployer. Both the deployer and the transposer are connected to a timer and pulse regularly.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Yes I realise the restriction tube is unnecessary.)

It counts all eggs into a chest. When the counter equals 144 (enough to fill a deployer) it:

• Resets itself.
• Sends a pulse to the ignighters to kill the chickens.
• Sends a pulse to the filter pulling a single stack of eggs from the chest.

Then each stack of eggs passes through another counter which sends a signal telling the filter to pull another stack until the chest is empty. The eggs end up back in the deployer ready for the cycle to repeat.

Fake edit: The pulse former is also unnecessary.

I've never had a single Age that crashed or failed to load with Redpower. What happens is, once it's generated and I spawn there, it becomes absurdly laggy, so I hit the ESC key once, wait for the menu to open (at this point it's still pretty laggy) then I try repeatedly to hit the Exit button. Eventually it works (can take several minutes and tries), but once the game is reloaded everything's hunka-dory.

If it's crashing and corrupting things, that sounds like it might be a different problem. But who knows. Like Sergius, I've never had a complete crash. Maybe 1 in 10 ages is really laggy, and a restart doesn't fix it for me, so I just always make sure i have a linking book on my hotbar and I can usually get out of it in a few minutes. That book then goes into a specially marked chest for storage.

I can understand though, if you're having routine crashes and corruption of data. I just don't understand why it would be happening.

   You are both getting lucky then. Having Mystcraft and Redpower cause the problems talked about quite often and is a known issue. Because of something Redpower puts into the world generation certain terrain types can and quite often does cause terrain generation to go out of control and lags enough to crash the game. If you listen to Direwolf's lets play's he just recently talked about it himself and he is in communication with the mod makers so I consider him a good source of info, he even did like I do and just before traveling to a new place saved his inventory with NEI in-case it crashes him and puts him back at spawn with nothing.

See, if I do that and exit the game, when I load back in I am at the world spawn in the overworld with nothing in my inventory.

I would just like to say first that DireWolf is not using an enderchest for his sorting chest, that was just something I was going to do.

Yes he is, he just didn't change it until the quarry was mostly done.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Huh, I must have missed it when he changed to it.

[Vattic]

Got to admit I'm a little concerned with the proposed changes to Ender Storage. Having only 16 private ender chests is fine but having only the creator of the chest able to even right click to open it worries me. A lot of servers limit the number of lockable chests and would likely not increase it by 16 for this mod. It also stops groups from all using the same chest system in their base.

I'm making a note here, since this is probably the place that'll generate the most notice.

As of this post, he's put up a Tekkit server for great !!SCIENCE!!. We can't make an announcement in DFC Steam group(no admins that either of us are friends with online) so...forums.

Hope to see AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE there.

EDIT: I  accidentally posted too early! waaaah. Please don't murder me. Anyway, keep an eye on this I'll edit again when it's actually up.

EDIT2: Alternatively, someone post something so I don't feel guilty about double posting.

Who be he?

Who be he?

Who, me?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

What, ye?

[forsaken1111]

GET YE FLASK

[Baneling]

You cannot get ye flsk. You can, on the other hand,  get ye other thing I made a joke about that I can't remember. Possibly cannon.

[Aklyon]

Hehe.

[Baneling]

But yeah, I am a new guy here. I am irritating Aklyon into doing all kinds of possibly-fun stuff. Like that Survival Games thing that actually was pretty terrible and...well, nothing much else, really. But I did get him to make a Tekkit server for this !!SCIENCE!! of stuff.
