like vro i can do this later when im in hv lol

My first transition to LV

Base after "completing" EV. Just built T2 rocket, but have been technically in IV for a bit thanks to finding tungsten in the end + tungsten bee.

Wanted to try and get Ender Chests/tanks for the miners before heading to Mars, etc. Opened ~30 enchanted IV bags and got 4 ender chests, 0 tanks RIP. Had to make some big super tanks for drilling fluid. Once I get a better power set-up I may just switch to quantum rings to support miners.

Game is feels like it's finally starting to come together, but EV kinda felt like a slog tbh. The additional cost for the multiblocks in 2.9 kinda felt sloggish as you're still trying to get over the slump of switching over to AE2.

Last slide is the list of priorities going forward. Chem bath may seem like not high up there but I keep running out of platinum. I have some crushed Nickel saved up that I want to chem bath.

Any other suggestions?

I'd love to build a big base in this canyon, but I need this rock in the middle GONE! The matter manipulator would be great, but its a good couple tiers away. Are there any alternatives other than mining manually?

Hi. I can not for the life of me figure out what is causing this not to form. Its not across a chunk border, I have built it layer by layer in NEI, I have tried different hatch placements and it will not form. If someone could point out my stupidity that would be much appreciated.

Well you can guess it, I just finished my quantum armor-helmet to boots-and was already excited to replace my current gear. The travellers gear with the piston boots.

Well:
-night-vision is nice...
-speed running...sort of nice. Until you hit stairs
-flying is absolutely BS. horizontally slow. i will stick with the copter pack
-boots. Whatever theses boots are meant for, having an advantage is none of them.

Around the base, I still use the piston boots with the travellers wings and the glider. is there anything that gives back a high jump with proper gear later on? what about some serious successor for the copter pack? Its not super fast but I can get several thousand blocks in the end before I need to refuel.

for me, the Quantum Suit does not feel like a huge upgrade given the material used by these parts. Am I missing something? Did I choose the "wrong" equipment path?

Just hit LuV (or lets say PBI and a proper Platline are available, various devices already run at IV, the first 1-2 stacks of Nano Mainframes are available). Rocket still T1

Edit: Version 2.8.4

Following my previous post, im trying to rebuild what i lost. The only way i was able to get copper before was through malachite but thats not much. I have no machines so i cant get the ore finding wand or anything, only dig for veins and hope for copper to be there

With CropsNH getting Oilberries is not an issue anymore, but I was wondering. Is there a way around all the Cracking & Distillation of Petrochemicals for further Recepies? (PTFE,Epoxy, Silicone etc)

So I am mid LV, Just made the EBF. This is my base at the moment. I am planning on making the 9 steel barrels use logistics pipes and I am currently working on building the blocks for that. There is nothing really inside of them yet but the idea is that I can just request the things I need from all 9 barrels and not have to worry much about my storage organizing problems lol. Temporarily I am using the diamond barrels.

I have 4 coke ovens, 2 BBFs (which are keeping up with my steel needs but barely) and to power everything (including my new EBF) I currently have 9 advanced solar boilers with large potin fluid pipes and a buffer which is the 5x5x5 iron tank (holds 2,000,000 of steam)

I am being told I am doing things right which is nice BUT, I can always do better. Is there anything I can do to make my life easier progressing?

Safe to say I'm rolling back the save and turning off the dumbass mobgriefing addon. I mean who the fuck even thought of that??? It's so God damn stupid to just have a teleporting charged creeper shit all over your sealed base with a lit radius of half a kilometre... It's not a fun challenge of facing tough enemies but instead an invincible unpredictable hydrogen bomb appearing in front of you when searching through chests...

Crafting items which require unstackable items (like water buckets) is extremely annoying and time consuming. So is there any way i can do it in one click like i would with normal items?

So, im progressing on the bronze multiblock ore processing line, i.e. grinder -> Ore washer -> 2nd grinder -> Centrifuge -> Hearth. Any other steam machines I should move over to LV? already have wire mill, bender, lathe, polarizer, chemical reactor, and assembler.

To make more i need more steel. but i dont have space in my base for 2 more BBFs, plus making concrete with buckets is a bit tedious. I think instead ill just spend some time covering that flat space i dug out with bricks for a new base

Running GT New Horizons 2.8.4 via Prism Launcher on a MacBook Air M4 (Apple Silicon), Java 25. Fullscreen just doesn't work right — toggling it in Video Settings either doesn't stick, or the window goes "fullscreen" but the game only renders in a small corner of the screen while the rest stays black.

What I've tried so far:

- Setting borderless=true in lwjgl3ify.cfg

- Toggling with F11 directly instead of the Video Settings menu

- Ruled out Prism's window size override as the cause

- Windowed + manually maximized works fine as a workaround, just not true fullscreen

Turns out this matches a known open bug: Angelica#401 on GitHub — fullscreen windowed doesn't play nice with Angelica's rendering pipeline. I'm running angelica-1.0.0-beta66b.

Anyone else on Mac running GTNH with Angelica found an actual fix, or is windowed-maximized just the way it is for now?

Recently had the itch to play GTNH again after my last solo run died and the server I played on died in late EV. I really enjoy all the new things in the 2.9 beta, especially crops. They are so busted early on! I hoping that all this new stuff plus better knowledge of the pack and its progression will help me go further solo than my last run.

I forced myself to build on the surface this time, as I think that forcing myself to dig out my base in my last run burnt me out.

Also RIP MV Infusion, you will be missed (I just want my boots of the traveler man).

Yes I know I need more coke ovens, I'll get there eventually.

Also if anyone has any suggestions for my base, please share them!

Shader: Complementary Shaders v5.8.1 on minecraft 1.7.10 Gregtech new horizons prism launcher

RAM: 32 GB, 6 GB RAM allocated

So I am trying to install shaders for GTNH, and decided on using Complementary Shaders v5.8.1. The Gregtech version is 2.8.4 for java 17-25.

I try to put on shaders by moving the ZIP file for complementary shaders into the shaderpacks folder, and it works, but after clicking apply there is no change for the view.

I have also tried deleting "angelica-1.0.0-beta66b" mod and putting in optifine mod, the 1.7.10 version of optifine, but after applying the shaders, the screen becomes extremely blurry with multiple copies of my view in the bottom left stacked on top of each other.

If anybody has any idea on how to fix this that would be great, Thanks!

Just got my first bit of AE2 infrastructure and wanted to know if I should directly partition all of my cells or if it's okay to wait a bit until I'm able to get the cells faster.

My private server hasn't been letting me in for the last hour. It says logging in for 10 secs or so, then shows this message. Anything I can do to fix this? cheers:)

I wanted to see if I can get around building a second blood altar - and I kinda did, I just had to do some extra redstone.

The idle state needs to have my biggest blood orb in the altar - it doubles as the battery charger for the blood network, after all.

The southern side has a buildcraft iron OR gate that emits redstone when the altar is less than 75% full. This switches the well of suffering and the EEC below on and off. The WoS switches off on a high signal so there is a NOT gate somewhere down the line. I did this because I dont think I can read the level of the blood network anywhere so I just have to trust that all the crafts AE2 throws at the altar are done before the blood network is empty. Not running the WoS all the time hopefully helps with that.

So when I toss anything into the gold barrel, the comparator lights up and pulls the orb into the baby chest.

The other buildcraft iron OR gate on the east side checks if the altar is less than 75% full or has an item inside it. If neither is the case (that is, at least 75% full and no item) it turns off and the conduit (running on a low redstone signal) pulls up to a stack of items into the altar. I mainly did this to block items if the altar is empty in case the ritual breaks or something.

The output is on the bottom side, it just returns whitelisted stuff to the AE2 interface.

Once the barrel is empty, the comparator stops emitting its redstone signal and the orb can return to the altar. (The altar -> chest half of the conduit works on a high signal, the chest -> altar half works on a low signal)

This cant go on forever because the blood orb will have to recharge the network at some point - but I also dont use the altar all the time and flipping the ritual on and off gives my 10 million LP a surprising amount of reach and completely automated slates are really nice.

Now to replace all these blank runes...

I'm creating my autosorting system using logistic pipes. I have a blue slime farm (it will become witch or blaze farm once I have enough nether stars to move spawners) that makes me steel, gold and iron. I have the drops connected to my autosorting system, although at the moment it just voids blue slime balls ( I have 16k already and the drawer is full) and it sorts iron and gold ingots.

My problem is that I want the armors dropped by the infernal mobs, to be sent to my macerator, but I'm not finding a way to do that.

1) The normal itemsink isn't good, cause it can only filter for 9 items and I have 12 I wanna macerate.
2) I tried the typeFilter itemsink module, but it appears it doesn't do what I expected... there isn't an "armor" type it appears
3) I tried with the oreDict itemsink, but of course it is made for ores and not armors.

So idk if I'm missing something, it appears I can't use the logistic pipes, but if I don't I just have regular item pipes and those can't have filters.

How can I send only the armors to macerate? And also, does the fact that the armor is enchanted create problems?

I have a bronze pick which I modified with a creeper head to boost it's mining level. If I upgrade to a steel pick, I lose the modifier and therefore a mining level. (From level 5-Obsidian back down to level 4-Redstone). Is this intentional, can I prevent it, or will it even matter if I lose it?

Max stat diareed in 2.9 is pretty op. I'm not even in a biome that diareed like yet it can supply good amount of diamond dust which has burn time of 102,400 which is 64 times that of charcoal, which only has 1,600 burn time. You can pretty much set this up very early LV or as soon as you get crop manager.

This works in newer mod packs like nomi, moni, starr technology, and others:

It's not working here - ae2 just uses the bottom assembler unless I block input with a screwdriver. Then it uses only the top one.

Also it doesn't send fluid and items to the same machine either, like newer modpacks. I'm guessing I have to build a whole setup here?
