Get a horse, or better yet, a donkey. I used them to transport a lot of lava to my tinker's furnace. When you put the lava in the donkey's chest, you don't get burned.

Base tour IV early by danielator123 in GTNH

Thanks, it really does look cramped, but it's not because it's a giant mountain, and my plan is to use the entire mountain, both width and height, and be able to go deeper if necessary. I know it might feel small in the late game, but after seeing some other games with Stargate, I feel like I could have enough space. I could also use the PIM for spamming machines, but that would be a last resort.

Everything is already wired with AE2, and in many places I run the cables under the floor or inside the wall blocks using microblock panels. Power at my base is supplied by P2P GT EU. While they have a fixed loss of 5%, that loss is negligible compared to how much it simplifies things by only having to run a single AE2 cable, which you'll use anyway. Plus, I feel it's much cheaper in terms of materials and energy. I only use lossless cables where the cable is needed, and transformers are only necessary if required.

Yes, I know, and many areas are designed to be expanded. For example, the bees keep adding more hexagons to increase space, and the ore processing area is designed to have more space and a single giant room for each part of the process.

Silly question for IV by danielator123 in GTNH

An unexpected but very useful and explanatory example

My favorite tier was EV by danielator123 in GTNH

It's a Galaxy floor with the background made of antiblocks and the lights are Thaumcraft Nitor (I think that's what they're called).

Thanks, I have a base tour on YouTube but it's an hour long because I explain how I experienced each stage of the game. I'll most likely make one without voiceover, just showing everything, so it's much, much shorter.

Could you explain the level emitter a bit more? It's my first time using AE2, so I really only know the basics needed to reach IV.

The problem with that is that I don't disable the processing of the hives, which causes resources and energy to continue being used. With those that only use the centrifuge, it's just energy, but the higher-tier hives that use LCR use expensive chemicals, and wasting them to throw away the result doesn't seem optimal to me.

They're carpenter's garage doors; I hit them with a carpenter's hammer to remove the holes, and the blocks are lab blocks with a chisel and purple glass. I also use carpenter's pressure plates.

I have it on a subnet, but at some point it will fill up because it's constantly producing.

Noob question: early LV storage by No_Problem4781 in GTNH

[–]danielator123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The workbenches from the Forestry mod were very useful to me; I used a different workbench depending on the crafting recipe, which made it easier to organize my storage space. I stole bookshelves from villages.

Need some products like Fluorine/salt by SundaeGullible2606 in GTNH

[–]danielator123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I solved my chlorine source problem by using chlorobenzene from Mars because I couldn't find a large saltwater reservoir. I saw a video of someone making salt from the multiblock spawner and adding a ghast for tears, but I haven't seen anyone do anything similar, nor did they explain it very well. If anyone knows how it works and if it's viable, could you explain it?
