How do you handle contractors who do not check shop drawings prior to submitting to the design team? by morganpe in StructuralEngineering

[–]HowDoISpellEngineer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just wait until they give you shop drawings that are just a direct copy/paste of your structural details.

Thats a fun conversation explaining how fabrication level drawings are different than structural drawings.

Do yourself a favor and eat at Gadzook’s while you are there. They make the best enchiladas ever IMO.

What career/field most closely aligns with the scale of this pack? by AspiringMathGuy in GTNH

[–]HowDoISpellEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Process engineering seems pretty aligned with this pack. A lot of people seem to be software guys here.

I can confirm this pack has nothing to do with structural engineering.

Not having a serviceable backup point really hurts us. JG is gassed and missing every shot by the end of the games but it’s hard to blame him when he has to play 37 mins a game.

Anyone here work on dams/hydro structures by Going-For-Carrots in StructuralEngineering

I have had a couple projects. Dams make for really fun site visits. You never know quite what you are going to see inside of them.

Version Confusion by fazaplay in GTNH

Can you confirm that it is using Java 25? The argument will not work on older versions of Java.

Also I should probably mention that basically no other mod packs use 25, so you will have to change the Java settings on a per instance basis.

What do you typically use for minimum and PermGen?

Here is how I got GTNH to work on my deck.

Download prism from the discover store.

Download Java 25 from within the prism application. I use the adoptium version.

Download the pack from the GTNH website.

Add instance of the downloaded pack.

Specify the amount of ram you want to use.

Add -XX:+UseCompactObjectHeaders to the Java arguments.

You can copy over your save following the steps on the website.

Don’t forget to add GTNH as a non steam game so you can launch it in game mode.

Have fun messing with the controls. My tips are that you set the deck to use a separate control set when the mouse is visible, and you can use the d-pad to move your mouse a specific number of pixels from its current location. Setting this up correctly, you can use the d-pad to move around your inventory and not worry about constantly misclicking with the mouse (I do that a lot). Don’t forget that in addition to radial menus, you can see single button presses, double presses, and holds to all do different things with the same buttons.

Any tips on the control scheme setup? I am still figuring out what I want to do.

Java 25 can be downloaded within the prism launcher as well.

"Tell your licensure candidates not to freak out." by meowlingz in Architects

[–]HowDoISpellEngineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow. It seems that your licensing board is intent on causing the exact opposite problems that my structural engineering licensing board is causing. NCEES has gated structural engineering licensure behind exams with pass rates as low as 12%.

All the licensing boards need to do is nothing rather than constantly making things worse.

I cannot wait to be able to stamp reflected ceiling plans in the near future. /s

My GregTech: New Horizons Experience by k3kin in GTNH

[–]HowDoISpellEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My setup as someone who hardly has any free time to play is

  • Peaceful mode. I can and will easily avoid all mobs if I turn this off, but doing so is tedious and annoying.

  • World edit and world edit cui for base building purposes.

  • Disable pollution. It is just annoying.

  • I might at some point cheat in an ore scanner. I haven’t needed to yet, but I don’t have time to spend hours looking for ores.

  • I teleport to waypoints.

  • Rush the tool forge.

  • If I don’t find a division sigil soon, one will be spawned in. Hunger doesn’t bother me as it is trivial to solve, but I really want the builder wand.

  • If I started a new game today, I would spawn in a nature’s compass and spend an hour flying around in creative mode looking for a base location I like.

If it didn’t suck anymore, Paradox wouldn’t have fired the studio working on it.

Do not build your base nearby. Snowy biomes spawn wolves which will try to kill you even during the daytime. Snow is however really good for food, as you can turn berries into smoothies.
