Hopefully he 'accidentally' fixes how water generators are not as efficient as solar panels.

 Even if they provide 1.5 energy a tick, they still require more engineering and general industrial setup than solar panels while taking up eight times as much space.

And also require lower teir stuff (just wood other than the generator, while solars require macerated coal and glass) and don't need to be on the surface. And according to the wiki you can put a bucket of water in them to get 2EU/t for 500 ticks.
EDIT: and solar panels only work during the day.

So. Trying IC2 for the first time and made a water generator tower. But the thing is, when i get far enough for the sound to stop i get horribly laggy. Anyone else got this or know of a solution?

The sound going away is a known bug, there should be a fix on the IC2 release page. Its like 1/3 of the way down, search for "Player's SoundSystem Fix"

That was not what i was asking. I dont have a sound stopper bug and i already have that sound fix. When i get far enough away from the generator for the sound it makes to stop, I start lagging horribly.

yey, got it working with buildcraft/ic2

Is there a version of recipe book or timber that work in smp?

Oh sorry, I misunderstood.

For my first Redstone/Piston project, I'm trying to make a double-barreled TNT cannon to mount on the bottom of an airship in V1.8. I want to have a "Safety" feature, having a safe trough to load the charges in, and using Sticky Pistons to ready the charges by pushing them into the chamber. I want to wire it to be impossible to detonate the TNT until the charges are primed, and impossible to load the chamber unless the firing switch is off.

I've got most of it worked out, but I want to perfect the basic design first... and as of right now, I'm having some trouble getting a 2 rows of 6 sticky pistons pushing in the same direction. I'd like to ask any experienced Redstone people if the following rough design would work, and if anyone has a compact way of getting these blocks wired (I know I'll need to do something with the delayed circuit for the projectile, but I'm not yet sure what).

Can't you just do this?

 ###Where the piston(>) pushes the TNT(T) into the wall(#) with the redstone(R) across the top to trigger the TNT and drop it in the water(~)?

I spawned near this, OIL SLIDE!

[freeformschooler]

Wh... oil? Is that a mod, a texture pack, or did I miss something in a prerelease or update?

[Briggsy16]

It's a mod

The buildcraft thread seems to have dissapeared.

So I'm in a SMP server with my friend. The only mods running are Buildcraft and Industrialcraft2 and toomanyitems which I used to make sure the others worked. We have an odd recurring bug which happens only intermittently but always happens when we place a block or a torch. The second we place a block or torch the game will just crash. Sometimes we can go a while without a crash building anything we want, other times it will crash right away on the first block we place. Any insights?

Edit: Also happens when removing the same blocks. The block is placed/removed despite the crash and the server doesn't go down just the client.

The first things people make are macerators powered by generators. When one starts dealing with alternative power options aside from the generator it's a given that the player will be able to produce solar just as easily as water gens. The ease of preparation on the surface is balanced by the perpetual preparation and headache of dealing with water physics that every water gen requires. The ability to use water buckets will always be less than useful when the output is that low and buckets are as much of a pain to deal with as they are.
 And we have beds to skip the nights if you use extensive solar.

 At least both should provide 1 eu/t at optimal conditions for each.

Nice!
They do have this old-school SNES JRPG look to them. (Such as Secret of mana.)

[The Scout]

Yep, Buildcraft page is down. Can someone upload the 1.8.1 files?

[PsyberianHusky]

So, I know the guy who made the technic modpack got alot of flack, but any word on a nice modpack like that coming out for 1.8.1?

Technic v4 is in the works once all the mods are properly updated. KakerMix doesn't give a fuck about flak from the worlds-shittiest-community that is MC, he's pushing forward stronger than ever with custom texture packs and an installer
