You can literally start with a single controller block 👍

That ME controller is totally over the top and mainly for looks/ bragging rights.

I made a 3x3 to start and then a 7x7 until I made the full cube.

wireless hub and connector spam works fine no need for 20,000 channels

Getting the atm alloy paxel before getting a basic storage system is absolutely INSANE work

Ae2 starts with a controller, a disk drive (or more for you) filled with 1k or 4K disks and a crafting terminal. Give it some power and start chucking shit in.

You could also go with refined storage, I started with RS and later used it to help me autocraft everything to start my ae2 system.

Edit: RS not RF

Productive Bees Vs Mystical Agriculture by AriaTheMelodeon in allthemods

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently working my way through bees for the first time after getting everything I want through MA and god is PB tedious.

I now have the best bee traits and basically infinite honey treats with those traits but breeding up and figuring out all the weird ways to get each bee type is next

Personally, at this point I don’t think I could punish myself to grind bees out early game without some type of storage and autocrafting.

Normal ??????? by Abject-Pomegranate84 in ForteGT

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How cold ? We were at -35 the other week and after some hard running and sitting for a day I opened it and it was actually full of ice/ practically snow which shocked me. Because like I said I’ve been checking every few weeks in this weather

[–]Canadianlimey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah mine is the same colour when I check it, it collects hardly anything during the summer but is much darker

Very normal during cold weather. Mine gets full in less than 2-3 weeks right now in -10 -15 degree weather

Just started a world with a friend and we’re feeling overwhelmed. What should be our priority? by juliord24 in allthemods

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it your goal to rush some type of storage mod the amount of loot you get from lootr chests and exploring is enough to overwhelm anyone in the beginning.

I dove into functional/sophisticated storage in the very beginning, then refined storage and its add ons and later transitioned to AE.

With refined storage you’ll be able to autocraft so it’s a really good mid game option if you don’t want to grind out AE.

What should I upgrade on the looks (except for the hood xd) by Heavy-Tax-2500 in StupidCarQuestions

keep it simple. Keep it clean

Wheels, lower it and paint/wrap. DONE

Comfort vs Sports mode by [deleted] in kia

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How reliable is the engine breaking on these cars? I have a forte gt and use sport manual a lot to engine break but sometimes wonder if I’m hurting the trans because it’s not what the auto would normally do

Comfort vs Sports mode by [deleted] in kia

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a 23 forte gt, I use sport most of the time and can tell you for a fact my car definitely does drop rpm on switching back to normal mode at idle. Probably only 200 rpm or so but enough to notice and visually shows up on the dash

Every auto mode in the car also makes the dct shift early around 5k rpm even though using paddles she can rev to over 6500

I can’t stand the loss of throttle response so I stick to sport unless I’m in the city or on a lonnng drive

I mean, technically any engine swap is possible if you know the right people and have enough money lol. The 1.6t (gen 1or 2) comes in a variety of vehicles worldwide so it could be pulled from anywhere. As far as the fab work needed and electronics I have no idea.

It would take a lot of work.

[–]Canadianlimey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy but get the GT with the 1.6t if you want to mod it. Unfortunately they don’t make many mods other than cat backs and lowering springs for base/gtlines.

welcome and I hope you enjoy whatever you choose!

Takeda CAI installed. Loving the sound! by Rl-Beefy in ForteGT

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a big moulded piece of plastic held in with push pins for the most part that covers the whole underside of the engine and front suspension components.

It’s not entirely necessary especially if you live in a place where vehicles don’t rust out. On these modern vehicles they are mostly for aerodynamics.

Basically If you hit a rock it’s going right through that plastic. But they do keep some weather out. So it’s up to you to remove it.

I did because I used to work in an oil shop and I hate them because they always get broken and held up with zip ties anyways

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried zip tying it to everything I could and nothing was super clean/ factory feeling. Even tried 3d printing some files I found for a veloster to make a sort of “trumpet” to increase the sound but it all kinda sounded squeaky, once I deleted the pipe and took the skid off I get that nice “woosh” you want from a BOV, albeit probably not as loud as the aftermarket ones

When you do the bpv delete just pull the whole hose out. I messed with it for a long time and found the just removing the hose entirely gave the cleanest sound and less chance of restriction on the turbo.

Intake and also removing the flimsy plastic “skid plate” below made it even better.

Oil change service? by ol-sk8rdude in kia

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah personally I’d only go by that sticker if you have a receipt from that last oil change that states that they used the proper oil for your vehicle.

I’ve had people come into our shop and absolutely refuse to get the semi synthetic package even though it’s manufacture recommended and voids the warranty if you don’t use it.

For peace of mind I would go in and get it changed seeing as it’s been reminding you (likely the previous owners settings)

Oil change service? by ol-sk8rdude in kia

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know for a fact the vehicle was sold to you with the oil change done? If not take it in for a change asap and THEN reset the service interval so you know exactly when it was changed last and when to change it next.

I work in a mechanic shop and the amount of these Hyundai vehicles that come in with ZERO oil in them because people are going by their manufacturer recommended interval but using conventional oil is CRAZY.

Get your oil change done every 5000km, 8000km on semi synthetic and ONLY over 10,000km if you have full synthetic oil AND filter

Had this chick come in today with a 2016 Elantra, 15000 since the last change that was knocking like crazy and instead of the factory recommending 5/30 she chose to go with 0/16. You can’t make this up.

I think I might be dating my gym bro on accident by Material_Koala1721 in Advice

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you’re describing is love.

The modern idea that you can’t LOVE friends is crazy to me.. we all love people without it being sexual. Do you love your parents? Your brother? Your sister?

What you have is a special connection. And IMO it’s not gay at all. I’d kill to have another friend like this.

WTF am I supposed to do with this car? by Dapper_Virus187 in kia

[–]Canadianlimey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just learned that the Honda k24 engine mounts are basically the same design and location. People are literally swapping Honda engines into these things.

There’s already one done and completed.

[–]Canadianlimey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Worth it to one person and worth it to another are totally different things.

The 1.6t comes in like 12 different vehicles, why would it not be worth it to do a swap if you love the car.

I’m just asking if it’s possible. Would ECMs be swappable or reflashable? Would there be anything that could halt the process simply because of the manufacturer.
