yep that's the fun of gregtech!

solid thicket
#

Wanted to say, I really like that game forces me to go, explore and make some stuff outside my base
It's very good approach, in my opinion

crude dust
#

Yeah that makes sense, but at that point Id have a developed AE2 system no?

karmic fjord
#

and we'll keep making new ones in future content that you can't just pattern away in ae2 lol

crude dust
#

Im definetely looking forward to that

#

to think I was considering playing up until LV

#

this stuff is just too fun

Hope you won't face platinum line in "extended chemistry for gregtech"

bye the way since you probably are thinking about the polyethylene setup now...
This is my setup which produces more than i currently need 🙂
It basically only needs a tree farm and some create windmill stuff -> for small passive power

I use the Ethanol (in MV combustion) to create the Ethanol

-> you also get good byproducts like resin, creosote, rubber...

just food for thought

(and yes i know it looks horrible with the pipes) -> thats why i am curious how your setup would look like

anyway choose whichever path you like and have fun 🚀

crude dust
#

Ive already thought of a system to make the plastic line! Luckily since the reformate line produces coal tar I can turn it into an infinite system

#

(dont let tom hear of this)

pliant bridge
#

It’s intended !

crude dust
#

Me when when tom when tom allows infinitely producing materials:

#

🫪

weak kite
#

good thing there is no pollution hehe
i would probably already be dead from cancer

#

Also make a gun pls (because gun go boom)
you need it for the moon and generally good for the beneath

sharp stratus
#

Make mv pistol, and show it off every 3 seconds

weak kite
#

its so funny how minecraft is blocky and then as sooon as you pull out the gun ...
the animations go crazy and AURA + 1000000

#

i also use the sniper to just 1 tap everything in the head

#

Also when i think back at the start of the pack where you basically throw rocks at bearsd and now just autocraft rocketlaunchers

supple radish
#

make a chocolate factory.

weak kite
#

its just like reallife (we invented quantum mechanics before we could even think to make a microwave to warm garbage food LOL)

crude dust
#

@pliant bridge I read the questbook and devised this polysilicon closed loop

#

crazy stuff, this reading thing

#

(also cut down the gas turbines from 3 to 2 but thats not important)

#

First time Ive made proper use of the covers and filters, but if you can whitelist/blacklist fluids on the same one then I used too many

#

didnt seem to be possible tho

karmic fjord
#

haha yep

#

I designed this line specifically to be a tutorial on how to do "recipe loops"

#

cuz otherwise I don't think you'd normally do one until titanium I think?

solid thicket
karmic fjord
#

?

karmic fjord
#

otherwise there's not that many until you start hitting late hv

crude dust
#

Gotcha, nevermind then

#

I dont really need hydrogen in massive quantities for now

solid thicket
crude dust
#

I wanted to test if it could place framed blocks properly

#

Im probably gonna use it for my HV base, that thing would be a pain to build in survival

spring mulch
remote solar
#

Also crates chests input and output hatches

crude dust
solid thicket
weak kite
#

you can make that pretty early into HV

remote solar
#

You need cleanroom don't forget also some batterys because God damn advanced nano suit chestplates eats EU like teto

weak kite
remote solar
#

It's feels so good you don't need extra transportation

crude dust
#

btw @pliant bridge are the passive lines you told me to build outlined as important in the questbook? The more I progress the more thankful I get to have built the ones I built. Maybe the only one I missed and I wish I didnt was a passive glue one because that was the #1 bottleneck for all my component making

#

Asking because if they arent they should be, had I not have infinite nitrogen/oxygen/hydrogen/chlorine/rubber/etc. Idk if I would still be playing, that would have been such a slow hurdle to overcome xd

#

they totally change how you approach production and everything related

pliant bridge
#

I have plans to do a big quests overhaul

crude dust
#

I think they should have their small section in each voltage tier

#

because they're not mandatory the same way batch/auto crafting isnt

#

(as in, they are)

#

and I think someone who actually reads will come around eventually

#

It might not be me, but im sure someone will

crude dust
#

as in I easily understood which technology is the main progression line, the different branching paths showing different ways to get there, and the optional quests or explanation quests surrounding them

pliant bridge
#

Big rework of the first chapter

#

Combining the starting age and the metallurgy

#

All the tips quests will be put at the bottom of the chapters

#

And I will add a massive amount of linked quests to let you know about every qol as you progress

crude dust
#

thats massive

#

Yeah at the start I was getting kinds lost between the automation, survival and metallurgy progression trees

#

they looked like different stages and not the same one divided in different areas

#
  • tips pages looked like progression pages out of place at the start
pliant bridge
#

Yeah there is definitely some issues

#

I will also update each quest description

#

But that’s a massive work so even if I just started

#

It may not be finished before weeks

crude dust
#

yo take your time that does sound like an unimaginable workload

#

thank you for your work on the pack, you guys are crafting something great

To do list

  • Add steam thermafuge to ore processing line

  • Kanthal coils

Ah preparing the materials for this stuff took 2hrs instead of 12

we are so back

#

(well not everything in my to do list but still)

crude dust
#

I mean half that time was mining, but how does AE2 craft everything on its own?

#

Like do you connect every piece of machinery for AE2 to send materials to?

solid thicket
#

If you have enough storage capacity in processor and have a pattern for every step of the craft, then yeah, AE2 can craft basically anything
even whole multiblocs (every component required to craft the multiblock)

golden thicket
#

With the right infrastructure, AE2 can be extremely powerful

oblique folio
#

AE2 can be programmed utilising patterns & pattern providers connected on the same network, to Auto-Craft ANYTHING you want it too… poi_stare

#

AE2 is honestly my most favourite Storage mod, because it does SO MUCH MORE than just Store items, fluids and energy…

Here’s two videos [You need to watch], for when you make it past HV and get to the moon…

ThinkO_O

Well… I have no personal experience in TFG past Early automation, so Perhaps I could be mistaken??

crude dust
#

Ok I got it, im gonna have to design a whole system in creative

karmic fjord
#

there's not really all that much to design

#

you stick a pattern provider next to a machine, you tell ae2 "if you insert a copper ingot here, you'll get a copper plate back", and you're done

#

it'll still be a good idea to play around with it to get the hang of its concepts, but you really don't need anything hugely overkill like those videos lol

weak kite
#

wait till he finds out about computercraft LOL

pliant bridge
#

Yeah just starts slowly by automating the AE2 components :p

#

And build a nice moon base!

crude dust

New episode is out!!

#

still being in the north after all this time is honestly pure dedication 😭

#

I moved pre-steel using bronze crates, I can’t imagine what it feels like to still be up there

#

also might be stupid but I think you need 3 centrifuges instead of 2 to keep up with the pyrolyse ovens

crude dust

but 3 is still too little for the passive plastic line

Cause it makes like 7.8 buckets per 80 seconds

but the system consumes 4 buckets every 32

# pliant bridge it was a radio tower too :p

I actually thought that when I saw the top. Btw the eiffel is probably the coolest thing I'll see in my lifetime. I cant think of another world-wonder tier building id want to see as much as this one

maybe Tokyo or New York could have something that compares

@pliant bridge whenever ya got time, Id love to know what new passive lines I should work towards as I make my way towards the end of MV.

Im guessing the silicone rubber line is gonna replace the raw rubber one (although for now im gonna keep it because I can still use it for a lot of stuff and my silicone line is slow)

#

other than that Ive also got the silicon dust line active, and it's auto feeding into both the silicone rubber and polysilicon lines

#

And it would also be nice to know what massive machines I might want to have in/near my base in HV (aside from those stated in the questbook)

#

because I somewhat want to design my base around them

karmic fjord
#

tbh I'd wait until ae2 before doing a big base refactor

#

you'll want to reorganize stuff for it

crude dust
#

mmmmm

#

is AE2 mid or end HV?

karmic fjord
#

mid to end

pliant bridge
#

You can rush the moon

#

but it's gonna be slow

karmic fjord
#

you need a cleanroom for it but otherwise you don't need new coils or energy hatches

crude dust
crude dust
#

Or is just AE2 thats locked behind it

pliant bridge
#

No you should start HV by crafting it

karmic fjord
#

the cleanroom can be done as soon as you enter hv

crude dust
#

ay gotcha

pliant bridge
#

It will unlock the Cracker and boost tremendously your reformate production

karmic fjord
#

HV -> a few single block machines -> cleanroom -> EV circuits, then also making ender pearls via implosion compressor

#

iirc that's all you need?

#

but the cracker is also a good detour for reformate yeah

crude dust

the quests should be clearer on what's required

the quad ebf will help a lot with making the rocket

do you expect to switch to a bi-weekly schedule as progression slows down during these more grindy portions of the pack ?

(this series has been my weekly reprise from engineering study in the leadup to exam season)

After this drought becomes bygones I will go back to progressing the pack into HV, but between the end of MV and that I want to do all of this

#

I might go and stream some of the base planning because I might need a hand 🤣

that would be fantastic I am not sure if I could tune into a whole stream but it would be a great deal of fun to have something idly going while working through my calc

we should already include a recipe for it if you add the mod. But you'll have to delete the fluid mod which might cause other breakages. You could maybe wait until after our big beneath update before getting anything huge set up, since we'll be swapping the old fluid mod for a new one at that point

crude dust
#

for sure!

#

What would the fluid mod impact? as of now the most I've played around with fluids for has been using the bottler

and fluid gauges

but nothing major at all
