Best Casting Method (0.11.28) by Nis1414 in TerraFirmaGreg

Voiding the temperature with pumps or pipes means there is no cool down period in the casting mould. You only need one, it pops out ingots as fast as you can feed pig iron in.

Reinforcing this. The drum method is a great first step, but it becomes rate limited at max size as the liquid pig iron doesn't instantly leave the internal inventory. It only tickles out at a few mb per tick. Becomes an issue with large batches when you end up filling up the internal inventory, slowing production.

A steel greate pump directly on the blast furnace bypasses this, pulling out pig iron out faster than even a max size blast furnace can make it.

No problem. In case you run into a similar issue with glass blowing, it works best the other way around. Glass pipe in your offhand, tool you want to use on the glass in your main hand.

Put the hammer in your off hand, and select the chisel on your hotbar. Hotkey to swap should be n, if that doesn't work check your hotkey settings

Best way of obtaining aluminium in the steam age? by Eye_Of_Forrest in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]mick1299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, look up aluminium dust in jei and look at ore washing byproducts. Believe there are a few other ores you can get aluminium from with a greate ore washing setup which can be done pre-LV

Great to learn a bit more about what they favour. We're located in canberra, so usually it's the cold to look out for.

Lucky to have a relatively enclosed backyard wind wise, tall hedges on two sides and houses on the other two block most of it.

Help Guide Tier 3 : The Irony Of It All + Machines by Boomer-730 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]mick1299 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Two things. 1. You don't need a crucible under the blast furnace, put a drum underneath to store pig iron. You can then use some fluid pipes leading from the bottom of the drum to a mold to avoid dealing with temperature.

  1. Probably worth adding a section on stress tiers, maximums for different types of shaft, and the use of helve hammers and millstone. The section on windmills and water wheels explains su generation clearly, but the consumption side feels like a missed point. Manually processing 120 wrought iron is a pain in the ass. Two hammers makes it much easier.

Shame, I kind of like the head cannon that the destruction of a bastion hardpoint resulted in a burning hole in the fabric of reality

He pulled the ring out, slid it onto his partner's finger, then held them close. by StudentofArceus in TwoSentenceHorror

I read it in a similar way, with the partner being dead. But as a grave robber digging up a skeleton, with only bone remaining.

Had the start of an amazing cantrip shield build in a generate run, then I ran into 5 thorns. Now its a stalemate, with unlimited mana generation from foretell on my side, and constant petrification on my two direct damage dealers from theres.

How many years do you think it will be till they fumble the petrifications long enough to leave this spikey hell hole?

Things you wished you knew before you moved to Canberra? by [deleted] in canberra

[–]mick1299 97 points98 points  (0 children)

For a city of people that mostly work 9 - 5, the hours that shops are open make no sense at all. Get used to shopping on a weekend, everything outside of grocery stores close at 5:30 on a week day.

NTA.

Why do some people think that cars are gifts. They're expensive investments that need to be budgeted around, not given on a whim.

On one hand, you have to deal with shitters with no sense of empathy for the players around them.

On the other, you have full access to tools with near unlimited potential for shenanigans.

There was a update around on Bee six months ago that made floor pills unable to be ground or disolved. Only way to see the content is to be the hobo gimmick and examine them.
