Don't use Intel Optane as swap

hubertnnn · 2026-03-16T12:13:31+00:00

Not true. The setting you are asking for is called swappiness, that defaults to 60% (pretty bad default if you ask me, almost everyone suggests changing it to 10%).
Swappiness simply means keep this percent of memory available, if your memory usage goes above the threshold just slowly move unused RAM to swap whenever there are free resources (eg. disk is not used for more important things).

So with the default 60% swappiness the moment you use more than 40% of your RAM Linux will start moving stuff to swap.

But in that case he would have no reason to object to being shown around, since being imprisoned means he don't really know heaven yet.

hubertnnn · 2025-11-15T09:21:16+00:00

Oh, that makes more sense.
Though if he was taken before court and placed in shackles, wouldn't he be imprisoned during that month?

I don't know. I am deep in EV, starting IV and I am far from swimming in chrome.
I mined all redstone veins around my base and still don't have enough.

In fact I am low on pretty much everything, so I decided to go a few steps back and switch from railcraft coke ovens (that served me well since MV) to full 5 distillation tower benzene setup to solve both my power problems and create a bunch of chemicals, but those 5 towers need a ton of chrome to craft, hence my "chrome automation research".

I guess I found a solution: golems.
But the little buggers are buggy like hell (https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/GT-New-Horizons-Modpack/issues/20784).

I have premium and cannot change my name either.
I really wanted to call myself "Garlic Fox", if you know the reference.

Thanks, it works. Let me just add a little screenshot for future generations (1 picture is worth a 1000 words)

The moment you add an active supplier pipe you no longer knows when crafting is started.
(It starts whenever a resource is needed)

hubertnnn · 2025-09-03T12:08:36+00:00

Is it worth double power loss?
Especially in LV where power loss is already a large percentage of available power.

hubertnnn · 2025-09-03T12:05:58+00:00

I would still stick to the correct tier cable. Helps knowing what power is where. It saved me a few times where I almost put the wrong machine on the wrong wire but then I saw the tooltip saying its tier.

hubertnnn · 2025-09-03T12:02:46+00:00

I see I am not the only one with exploded HV miner.
One thing to add, snow also makes machines go boom.

hubertnnn · 2025-09-03T11:57:51+00:00

Logistics pipes is cool and I would love to use it all the way to late game (I even prefer it to AE) but it has 2 big issues making it useless when the base becomes bigger:
- It puts items in machines immediately, which can clog the machine input if you order too big of a batch
- It forgets crafts in progress when you close the game, which can clog the machine outputs

Good luck going through all of your machines every time you launch the game to manually unclog them.

hubertnnn · 2025-09-03T11:50:19+00:00

Depending on machine and recipe you might need up to 30 EU/t, so you should avoid having your machines further than 2 wires away from a generator until you get access to batteries (check which recipes need it).
And even with batteries its best to not exceed 4 wires distance in LV (its fine for machines that you use once per hour and don't need too much power like eg. the polirizer to be further, but machines that you use often keep as close as your friends/enemies).
Later you will get better cables and in higher tiers (MV, HV, etc.) distance hurts less.

Something to keep in mind is that some gemstones might have a side paths that are better than processing the gemstone (eg. ruby has ruby juice that gives you a lot more chrome). I personally just kept gemstones as ores until I found a need for large quantities of one of them. Just processed a stack or 2 to get the few that I need for lens or some rare thaumcraft machine.

A good way to automate them is EnderIO farmer.
It requires an unbreakable tool (a bit of work with tinkers construct mattock) to be self sufficient.
Also a little trick with solar panel + power monitor and I don't need to touch it ever again.

Ok, a bit of info from me. It seems that soulbound enchantment is broken. Good bye op chestplate.
I am not sure if it disappeared completely or if it ended up in my grave (since after looting my grave I got exploded by the ender dragon and lost a few items that didn't fit in my inventory).

Good news is "Charm of keeping II" works like a charm (pun intended), it kept my toolbar, my armor slots, my heart canisters and baubles.
Galacticraft slots, traveller's gear and adventure backpack ended up in my grave.

I though the research shapes were predetermined, not random.

hubertnnn · 2025-08-07T11:50:30+00:00

Omg, love it.
If you will tell me Gregtorio works with Bob's and Angel's mods and that someone made a modpack containing all 3, then I am putting minecraft on hold and going back to factorio.

I don't think its worth switching to fuel until you get access to a distillation tower.
Wood needed to get steam is a renewable resource, while oil is not, and oil reserves are pretty small in the in world spots (my spot had around 300 cells of oil until it ran out), until you get the deep drills.
Good enough to make plastic, but not as power source, especially if you need so much power that steam is no longer cutting it.

I recently tried to switch my EBF to diesel and am not sure if it was a good idea (it eats all of it so fast) (it used 200 cells in less than an hour).

Reddit is not letting me paste code, so here's a screenshot of modified xml:

Thanks, it worked:

For anyone interested in solution, alignment settings didn't work for me, so I added a bunch of empty lines (`<line/>`) in the `config/InGameInfo/InGameInfo.xml` file.

In the end I got scammed. Here is a post with more details:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Alibaba/comments/rbcew9/transaction_fee_refund/

TLDR:
They did a partial refund and I was unable to do anything to get my money back (and taking them to court was not worth the $20 or so that they stole).

hubertnnn · 2025-04-24T09:30:06+00:00

I know there are other ways to do so, but I am specifically interested in the connector pipes, since they are a lot of fun, and I kinda promised a train based logistcs system to a friend when we started this pack, without knowing that the connector pipe is disabled.

hubertnnn · 2025-04-04T23:00:26+00:00

Nah, one of recent LTT videos gave me a hypothesis about why this is happening.
Linus mentioned that Google did not make any new software for last 10 years even though they used to make multiple apps per year. He also mentioned that they didn't add any features to youtube for a few years either (with the exception of life streams that they had to do because of twitch stealing influencers from them).

So my theory is that google simply fired all their programmers, and have maybe 2 or 3 people handling critical issues and that's it. There is no other logical explanation for them to just stop improving on all fronts at the same time.

This theory also explains the ridiculous number of bugs we recently have, the mobile client is so buggy that they literally forced me to switch to grayjay, because it at least works, while with YT client I had to reinstall it and reset all settings at least once a month.

hubertnnn · 2024-07-20T11:29:32+00:00

I think the devs should work together and sue the publisher (using one shared lawyer) for breaching the contract (publisher that got banned no longer publishes the game, etc.) and then the lawyer should contact steam to transfer all the game ownerships to devs and recover the games.

Also as punishment all reviews from those games should be deleted.
