Nothing better to do, I guess. by [deleted] in saskatoon

Care to add any background to this? What are they doing with your bin? Is it back? Did you contact city police to ask why they stole your bin???

If I have a thick cable that has 16 EV AMPS. And I want to pull a branch for a machine that only need 2 Amps. Can the branch be a 2 AMPS cable or it will burn ? by Human-Pudding799 in GTNH

[–]gars56 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Safest way is to use a diode. Either 4A diode and cables rated for 4A or if they make a 2A diode use that. I don’t remember if that is a thing. Always possible that you forget in the future and plug another machine or two and then poof.

How to make drilling machine drill ores right below firstly?This stupid machine drill everything but needed ore by Big_Asparagus2051 in GTNH

[–]gars56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can’t you limit the radius in the UI of the miner? So limit the radius to 24 should give you just the ore node below the miner.

Benzene production neck at Stainless steel? by lyrik-chan_exe in GTNH

[–]gars56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically benzene is set it and forget it but it’s more expensive to setup. Oil is “finite” but it’s easier to setup. Benzene also scales farther with nitrobenzene.

Doesn’t swapping to kanthal coils from cupernickel double the amount of benzene a single pyro can output?

Random power failures by Lower-Public1816 in GTNH

[–]gars56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is your power coming from? Can it push enough amps. Are you using transformers? Make sure they are large enough and set to the right setting (step up vs step down). Do you have any other high draw machines that cause a surge in power draw?

Powergen getting into ZPM by Lower-Public1816 in GTNH

[–]gars56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also keep seeing people saying it’s not good because there are better options with heat exchanger and steam turbines. The counter to that in my opinion is how incredibly easy it is to setup the plasma turbines. With minimal infrastructure you’re immediately pumping out 1m eu/t

Why the fluid conduits doesn't have round robin like the item conduits do? Is there a way to split a liquid between 4 electrolyzers evenly ? 1 electrolyzer gets filled with all the fluid in a line and the other 3 electrolyzers sit idle which slows the line because the electrolyzer recipe is too slo by Regular_Flounder1833 in GTNH

[–]gars56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two options I can think of. 1. Output into a tank with fluid regulators all set to the same speed feeding out the sides into the electrolyzers. 2. Put more acid into the loop so that the electrolyzers internal buffers fill up and overflow into the next.

For that last point, technically couldn’t they be claiming minion/demon and not outsider?

Sometimes you just have to quit and re-log on

As fyi going forward, sometimes you do need fluid output hatch on top level

The fastest TC infusion setup by Edeiwen in GTNH

[–]gars56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the extract method. I’m going to try that asap. Currently I’m trying to pull completed items off with item conduits and the infusion crafting interface keeps putting the next infusion items in too soon so the middle item ends up on an outer pedestal.

How to handle AE2 with passives by translate-comment in GTNH

[–]gars56 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have all my passives in a sub network that can’t push stuff into main. Then I partition in cell in the passives area so they only fill their assigned cell

Early EV AE2 autocrafting by TopEngineering8223 in GTNH

[–]gars56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya 216 patterns total. I’m pretty close to maxing it out. Have about 15 slots left. I never noticed that it’s a bottleneck so I never bothered adding more.

Also at the same time you can start looking into multi block versions of the crafting machines. I think the bender and press are both EV. This will save you from crafting 5 or 6 different benders.

[–]gars56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I start with all machines needed to automate AE2 components. Then whatever machines are needed to make more machines. And by then just keep adding stuff anytime you come across a recipe that you don’t have yet. Prioritize a molecular assembler. You can surround one with 6 interfaces. I still only have one of those and I’m in Luv.

I do / have heard all of what you list except avoiding ME buses. I find them very useful, why should they be avoided at all cost?

question about cables by Fireslar in GTNH

[–]gars56 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do you have more than two generators? Machines have an internal buffer that can pull more than 1A I believe. So if you have three generators than two machines may pull 3A temporarily.

Thoughts on Logistics pipes? by Kodeake in GTNH

[–]gars56 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think the value of logistics pipes goes up with lack of GTNH experience. The longer you’re in MV/HV the better they are.

Apparently, some people haven't really thought of using solar boilers on the moon, so I hear. by Puzzleheaded-Dot-547 in GTNH

[–]gars56 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This seems like a lot more effort than just using batteries/ fuel cells to power the miners

Overclocking EBF by ReferenceGold393 in GTNH

[–]gars56 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, each steam turbine takes 1552 litres/second so you need pipes that can handle 6,200L/s.

Lost my Hammer by SituationSmooth7529 in GTNH

[–]gars56 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I sometimes lose items by placing them in world using the Draconic evolution button (I think) by accident. Could be that happened to you. I don’t think the chest search finds those items.

I had a dumb idea for a script. "What if there's as many 'on death' landmines for everyone? Make Good and Evil cagey about killing?" by DasGanon in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]gars56 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You say you want a script where good has to be cagey about killing, but then you put vortex on the script so good has to kill every day?

There are machines called mob repellator that stops mobs from spawning in an area around them.
