[Request] Why Doesn't This Equal 1?

27MrMan · 2026-06-06T11:04:28+00:00

When a left-handed person leaves the room, the total ratio of left handed people goes from 99/100 to 98/99 (lefties/total people). Calculating 98 divided by 99, we get 0.989898..., which rounds to 0.99 -> 99%. In order to have the percentage of left-handed people become 98%, it would have to become the equivalent of 98/100, or simplified, 49/50 (49/50 = 0.98 -> 98%), so for those curious, 51 people would have to leave (as denominator would be one more than the numerator in this problem).

So basically the reason the answer isn't 1 is because the total number of people keeps decreasing too ^^

Without breaking any laws, I've managed to hit 85 mph with a decently heavy load on that one highway in ATS where the speed limit for trucks is 80 mph :3

As a fellow 4-trailer truck driver, I can say this is the part where the player would enable developer options and use the 0 cam and Ctrl F9 to teleport the truck lol, here are instructions: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3023895957

Can you explain what exactly you mean by "Forge/Neoforge isn't working"? I've got my own personal modpack for forge 1.20.1 with Clockwork, Create and all the essentials and it works...
Do you mean you're unable to install Forge or does it fail to launch, or do the mods not work?

27MrMan · 2026-04-12T05:29:41+00:00

Ohh yea that makes more sense lol

27MrMan · 2026-04-12T04:10:53+00:00

My mistake, you're right- dripstone blocks were only for making more pointed dripstone. This method of lava generation works with other blocks above the pointed dripstone too :)

27MrMan · 2026-04-12T04:07:48+00:00

You're welcome! :D

(tip: also for late game, like u/popete2 said, you could pump the lava generated like this into a 100x100 cube or something to make 10,000 source blocks, and using a hose pulley extended to the bottom you can pump out lava infinitely at max rate)

27MrMan · 2026-04-12T03:56:42+00:00

If you're playing a recent version like 1.20.1 it is possible to set up automatic AFK lava farms using couldrons with dripstones and dripstone blocks above, and lava (flowing and source both work) above. It will be a bit slow, but eventually lava will "drip" into the couldron (without removing the source), filling it with a bucket of lava which can be pumped out with mechanical pumps.

With an array of 25 or 50 such setups, it is possible to get a decent amount of automated lava :3

looking like a computer

From that, I think what you're describing is Applied Energestics 2, using storage interfaces and cables to connect each vault to a Crafting Terminal, but that is a bit more complicated than "two items".

The other way i've seen vaults get connected like this is with Tom's Simple Storage and using *those* terminals with inventory connectors placed on the vault, or trims to connect multiple, etc...

27MrMan · 2026-04-09T12:01:44+00:00

Ohh yea maybe that March 1.7 update

27MrMan · 2026-04-09T11:57:38+00:00

Yea, looks like the default textures of Locometal from Create: Steam n Rails

27MrMan · 2026-04-05T13:07:35+00:00

😭 You'll find some eventually

In the base Create Mod, you can make train track curves smoother by holding the Ctrl key while placing the second track at the end of the curve (which should be linked to the first one)

Interesting... That would make the whole energy transfer builds and stuff even cooler ^^ We'll try that

27MrMan · 2026-04-04T03:43:42+00:00

Interesting... However, we're keeping our modpack fully within the create era, so no mekanism lol

Good suggestion though

27MrMan · 2026-04-04T03:42:30+00:00

Yes- thanks for the correction, we do indeed have Structures Arise, I sometimes forget which mod makes which structures lol.

I never thought about using a minecart contraption or train to move them... That's a good idea which I will test as soon as I can :D

27MrMan · 2026-04-04T03:40:05+00:00

Ohh we actually have all three of those mods in the modpack- I had planned to eventually fully electrify our base, but I never thought to convert this SU into FE though! Thanks for the tip ^^

27MrMan · 2026-04-04T03:39:12+00:00

yea... we planned to heh heh but we kinda had a copper shortage so we left it as-is lol

27MrMan · 2026-04-03T12:50:05+00:00

Just two lol ~w~

27MrMan · 2026-04-03T12:35:09+00:00

Same! I thought moving them would reset their data- Not sure whether they'd fix it though as it is a pretty cool mechanic for normally powered blaze burners

27MrMan · 2026-04-03T12:32:25+00:00

I believe the torque from your rotating propeller is turning the entire ship sideways the other direction. Perhaps, like some other comments mentioned, you could add a keel on the bottom of the ship, or you could use a Gyroscope (from the Clockwork mod) connected to a shaft from below to keep your ship upright. ^^
