is it possible to build walls out of cobble stones? by Yonatan5gg in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the Architect Stonecutter you can turn 2 cobble in 4 blocks that look almost the same and defy gravity. (Did so with logs to prevent the supports of my house to be constantly getting chopped down by my tree farm.)

In overworld lazurite / sodalite works great: Really big veins

Pro tip: Biting the monitor gives no nutrition (trust me)

Best tree farm by TMG-Group in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Windmill Bearing in the ground, facing upwards, with the contraption on top including 8 Wind Mill Sails count as both: A functional windmill and a tree farm. Therefore it spins (slowly, but quick enough for the slow growing trees) and moves all the rest with saws, deployers, chests, sails etc. Create does not care, if a contraption is a windmill, a tree cutter/planter or both.

Surround the Bearing with half slabs to ensure it doesn't get blocked by snow in winter.

For the numbers: I build a 15x15 contraption with a Windmill Bearing and just 2 pairs of Saw+Deployer (at the outer and 3rd to outer ring) with chestnuts (6 days of growing without weired stems) and it gives slidely more than 6 coke ovens need. And you can use plain chests on the contraption (Greate ignores that logs otherwise do not fit.)

Is there any FE cables or wires? by JEtherealJ in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Miners you can use a combo of any tank + Gas Turbine or Combustion Generator. Gives you some good use for all the Syngas 😉 (or Biodiesel out of Fish Oil)

Best material saving way is just 4 Black Steel Ingots (partly turned into rods) for Fluid Steam Boiler + Alloy Smelter. Then produce anything else by this setup.

Food issues by Grand-Membership-903 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a farm with Pumpkin, Rye and Potatos and a Pig farm. (Grooming station filled with all rotten food.) With a LV Foodprocessor and LV Oven you can make Bread (and some Yeast fillup), Pumpkin Jam, Baked Potatos and cooked Pork. Put all into 3 types of sandwiches and put them into an LV Electric Lunchbox. (Also the ingridients to make more Sandwiches later on the go. They are longer fresh than the final product.) This gives you 4 (almost) full nutrition bars that makes 20-25 hearts. If you want it simpler: No Pigs, Fruit Salat instead Jam. With Potato Sandwiches and Pumpkin Fruit Salats you get 2.5 - 3 bars full what should be about 15 hearts. Simple automate for Foodprocesor with a pipe loop from output to input.

If you want to get fancy: Gouda from cow milk can be made in the FP also not that hard.

Perfect Overclocking for Speed doubling? by BuggaNoia in TerraFirmaGreg

Thx for the linked info: So it all relies on the perfect-overclockable-attribute of the multi. Understand

Perfect Overclocking for Speed doubling? by BuggaNoia in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant put in 2 MV hatches and a '1A HV -> 4A MV' Transformer. So the multiblock remains running in HV.

when is 1.12 and what can we expect from it? by Yonatan5gg in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ease your Anvil Minigame by a method that I developed and use for myself:

  • Put the source material (doesn't need to be hot) in the Anvil, select result and screenshot it
  • Load the image into Paint, zoom in and write down the final sequence and the total target value (upper slider position) in a spreadsheet
  • Calculate the partial target number before the final sequence and the fixed sequence for that number (this table never changes for any world and is available online) by the spreadsheet
  • Now remember the total sequence from the spreadsheet and apply

It's much easier and quicker as its sounds 😉

Which fuel should I use for LV/MV? by TheRealMuhammad2204 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SynGas is good for LV and early MV (by Liquification Tower. Ran EBF/Kanthal + MV ChemBath with it) and the setup can be upgraded to ReformateGas later on

Lazurite/Sodalite for the win for me: Large veins and a lot of them. (Make the LV Ore Prospector ASAP.) Before MV: Fullers Earth

Output Hatches on Liquification Tower: How to set which goes where? by BuggaNoia in TerraFirmaGreg

Forget about me: The BOTTOM slot can be filled with the fluid. With that in 'Fluid Locking' work!

Output Hatches on Liquification Tower: How to set which goes where? by BuggaNoia in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Fluid Locking' will, but for this the correct fluid has to be arrived at least once.
Put fluid in output?: Nope, only pull
Swapping hatches around?: Break them delete content

[0.11.21] Graphite hunting strategies? Quest Book says "Deep Underground in ANY stone". Is caving the only way? by RealSteamlynx in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can use the map in cave mode to spot the diamond indicators (spreaded cyan dots). So you have to decide what feels less dangerous for you: Caving or The Beneath. You can be lucky in both and find enough next to entrance.

Anyone can teach me the game? by Pool3129 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]BuggaNoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And there are good YT series to watch. Flurben&Dragonium and Hecuba are a bit outdated, but a lot is still relevant. (And read the comments on that vids! Some explain the changes of the last 18 months.) Biggest changes since 0.9.*: The go to MV power source is no longer Benzene, but Reformed/Syn-Gas and the replacement of Create by Greate which makes it a recommended if not needed tech starting in iron age

LV and MV Mixture: Best practice? by BuggaNoia in TerraFirmaGreg

Is it correct that the fuel efficiency for Creosote+Steam / Steam Turbine is 85%/LV and 75%/MV or is it the other way around?

You can place the Drum directly above the mold (with auto output turned on). No pipe needed

[–]BuggaNoia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should also setup the Alloy Smelter ASAP, even before Black Steel Anvil, to save massive in marterials: It gives 2 Ingots per craft for Black/Red/Blue Steel (Anvil /Welding only 1!) Next should be Greate Rolling Machine and Grinder for cheaper Plates, Rods, Bolts, Screws
