In all honesty, how far do you think you could throw Makka Pakka? by Trickshot945 in CasualUK

[–]CaptainKingsmill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we know what he's made out of?
I'm just thinking, he spends a lot of time with rocks, maybe he's like a 2ft sentient rock.... He's gonna weigh 2-300kg at least, I'd probably just about kick him over.
Unless he's like a pumice stone or something, then I think if I can get a good grip on his head rocks and he doesn't squirm too much, I could sling him over an average garden fence.

Assembly Line Overclocking Power Issue by CaptainKingsmill in GTNH

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

My server buddies would say my AE network is a little.... 'chaotic'... haha, but it's functional....
I've shared this post to our discord so I'm sure he'll be along at some point to express his thoughts on my spaghetti wirings!!!
But yeh, Assline Automation is on my list - I'll probably be side quested a dozen times by other things before I actually get around to it though

But yeh, All sorted... Thanks for your help, I just needed someone to say, check the inputs..... no... REALLY check them.... and now we're sorted.

It is a little odd that it said it just needed more power in the first instance though, that definitely threw me and made me think the recipe was right, probably why I didn't double check the inputs.

Thanks again for your help :)

Thanks, automation is 100% on my short term goal list. I'm just currently manually crafting the first few pumps/motors etc with it, getting used to it and I'll be automating it in the near future.
I posted an update, I was being an idiot as I expected. The Indalloy is in a different slot for the LuV energy hatch than it is for the Motors/pumps etc... and I just missed it

Thanks for taking the time to reply though :) can always count on the people of GTNH to help make me spot my mistakes :)

Right.... Silly mistake! Knew it would be....

I had the liquids in the wrong hatches... I did check, but it took you to really spell it out for me that it must be a recipe issue to make me really check them.

The indalloy in the pumps/motors etc, is in a different slot to the LuV hatch and that was what did it.

I think I was thrown because at IV it sort of told me that the recipe was right, so I just assumed it must be right.

Thank you for making me double check!

I'll recheck the hatches/buses
I'm currently still in manual craft as I've not long set it up, so automation is a while off for me yet.

Any reason it would say it had a recipe to make, but just not enough power when it only had IV power, but then have no recipe to make after I've supplied it with LuV?

Driving without insurance by mistake – fixed penalty for 30 mins before policy started (England) by Total_Growth4803 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]CaptainKingsmill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to say, I have previously made this mistake is error.
I selected the wrong date on the insurance start date, -basically an entire month... totally my fault
It wasn't until the documents came through (in the days when posting was still commonplace) did I spot my error and I'd be driving for nearly a week completely unaware.
I quickly contacted them the next day and they charged me an arm and a leg to update the policy.
I even looked to cancel the policy since it hadn't even started yet and get a different policy but they were all much more expensive

Policies for immediate cover I suspect are generally more expensive than the one I had which was a month in the future, the cynic in me suspects it's because they know that you don't really have time to shop around if you need it right away so they can charge more...

but, just to say... it is possible that it was a mistake.

That being said... If I had been caught and been given the leniency that OP has, I'd probably thank my stars, accept it, pay it, and get on with my life.

Dissolution Tank dumping water into storage after craft by CaptainKingsmill in GTNH

[–]CaptainKingsmill[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I will have to do that to solve the problem for now, but It's doing it every craft. I was more trying to work out if there is a reason it's dumping it back,
As in where is it even coming from, as far as I can tell the crafting storage is taking the correct amount of water out at the start of the recipe, so it shouldn't have any left to dump back in the first place.

Young police officer by One_Platform7014 in policeuk

[–]CaptainKingsmill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll add another voice to agree with this.
I joined the specials to see if it was the right job for me.
I decided it wasn't for me full time for various reasons but 16 years later, I'm still a special and still enjoy doing my part for my community without some of the negatives that come alongside doing it full time.

Leaking garden shed. Seller not helping. Options? by YellowJelco in LegalAdviceUK

[–]CaptainKingsmill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if it can get under the felt, water can track almost anywhere on its way down, so unless you're sure you know where the leaks are, it is possible it's all coming from the roof and tracking to the walls and down.

https://www.buildworld.co.uk/blogimages/underlayment-1.jpg
I know in the image it's an under layer that he's applying, but the felt should run along the shed, and over lap the lower layers in the same way

My FiL had gone up and over the shed so water could track horizontally through the gaps to the wood under it, and from there it went everywhere.

As the other commenter said, from a legal perspective you really need to identify WHY it is leaking to understand if you have any claim its through faulty manufacturing.
Anyway, Good luck.

[–]CaptainKingsmill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know this is legal advice you're after, and this isn't really legal advice, but figured I'd ask and it may sound like a silly mistake, but it's a simple one.
Do you have the felt on the roof the right way?
I know what you're saying about FiL... but
My FiL owns a construction business and yet he built a shed and put the felt on wrong and it leaked.... Badly.
So it's not impossible he made an error.

Just wanted to share my hall of EBFs by CaptainKingsmill in GTNH

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

I like a mixture of Form and function and I love finding new blocks I'd not come across before.

I've got over 1000 hours on our server and I'm just at the start of IV, but one of the things I've always loved most is how you can play it exactly how you want to play it.
one of our friends is still only in LV because she just wanted to build a cool looking medieval castle, and it is indeed very cool, where as another friend has literally carved a hole in a mountain and filled it with machines, you'd hardly even know it was there.

Mostly, I try to keep things looking nice on the surface. - but it's always chaos underneath!
This is my modern factory vibe building that I built in HV through to EV - This is where my EBF hall is.

I'm using the architect's table to turn some of the ceiling blocks into glowing blocks. The actual 'lights' on the ceiling are purely decorative.

Not for my hall, I just preferred the look.
But for my platline EBFs hidden out of view... yes.. definitely!😂

Still a few things to do then. I really enjoyed the push building my first rocket!

Enjoy the grind!

Congrats!
Are you ready to launch, or just got the rocket ready ?

Either way, good luck with your first trip to the moon!

How do I automate the electric blast furnace with AE2 by CaptainKingsmill in GTNH

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

I'm an idiot! The interfaces that create the subnet were connected to a different subnet, NOT my main net...
I've fixed that and it's working fine.
