Quickhaven 4/22 to 4/23

Two days in between projects, a few short sessions, but I got a lot done.

4/22 - Quick lunch visit.  Add rolling machine w stirling engine & chest in IC2 lab, for mixed metal ingots.  So many recipes, go with invar/bronze/tin for 4 ingots each.  Throw 7 lapis ore in macerator.  Make 7 more electronic circuits and finally those last 4 lapotron xtals.  Just need one advanced machine block ... done.  MFSU - woo hoo!  Now I need an MV transformer (done) and some glass fiber cable (if I'm going to burn a diamond, I use 2 electrum to get 8 cables, twice as much as with redstone).

Install the MFSU on roof, drain the old MFE into it.  Install: MFSU -> glass fiber -> MV transformer -> gold cable -> LV transformers in town.  Go get more cans of fuel: 10 oil (33 left in tank #1), 11 creosote.  Drop off.  MFSU at 890K.  Lava gone.  Need to go move pumps around down deep.  Moving the lava pump, darn, wooden pipe dropped into lava -- run up to make another (and a spare).  Done, pumping again, into xycraft tank and straight into cans for easy transport.

12:43 MFSU at 1.14M.  Got 24 mm ingots to compress to AA.  Semifluid generator, accidentally clicked blank space between IN and OUT boxes, brought up recipes -- will also burn seed oil though at only 2k EU each.  Lunch visit done.

After dinner: drop off 15 cans of lava, 13 cans of oil at power station, MFSU at 1.3M.  Move lava pumps again, lose of of my redstone engines this time.  Harvest 25 peat.

Start on parts for industrial centrifuge and Industrial Electrolyzer: mak2 2 machine blocks, 8 treetaps, 2 electronic circuits -> 2 extractors.  Morning: rubber tree run, hack my 7 trees, get enough saplings to plant 13.  Goods: 34 rubber drops, 34 rubber wood (34x6 planks + 8 resin -> 24 rubber).  Pulverize 12 nikolite ore while waiting (120 nik + 2 diamond dust!).  IC2 lab: make 3 elec circuits -> elctrolyzer.  Need magnetizer next, which needs iron fences ... ugh.  20:08 - okay, magnetizer done.  Need 2 adv circuits to complete Industrial Electrolyzer ... I've never had one of these to play with before, but what a hassle!

Take break for Bones and Defiance.  22:06 - If I'm going to make adv circuits, might as well use electrum and get twice as many.  So 2 elec circuits -> 4 adv circuits.  Poof!  Industrial Electrolyzer.  Go hook up at the MV gold cable on roof.  Yes, I double-checked.  MV power.  Hooked it up, then read all 45 recipes, strategizing what to make.  Need low power recipes with reasonable gains.

22:44 - MFSU at 2.44M.  Run 2 batches of 8 clay dust for cells (2 Na, 4 Si, 4 Li) and 4 Al dust.  Cost 20k EU, 5 seconds each.  Put sodium & lithium in semifluid generators (right behind mu butt) for 240k EU.  Whee.  Do it again.  MFSU at 2.58M (some of last batch is still in fuel tank).  Need aluminum, so run 12 bauxite + 8 cells (x2 batches at 100 seconds each) for 16 Al dust + 4 tp Ti dust + 10 H Cells.  Paid for itself, pretty much, still roughly 3,000mB of lithium and 6,000 mB of sodium in generators.  MFSU at 2.2M.  Result: 26 Al dust, about 1/2 a Ti dust, and no hit on power.  13:01 - drop my Al dust in regular blast furnace, will take a while, but those are my first 26 Al bars.

Run down to lava tank, 35 cans full, 24,900mB in tank, steady, looks like I have to move pumps again soon.  Put lava cans in Thermal Gen, MFSU at 2.42M, this'll give it a kick.

23:20 - read up on calcium and mercury cells, some other oddities, add to my "life cycles" file.  MFSU at 3.5M, still 11 cans of lava left to burn, Na and Li gone.  Run 30 sphalerite dust (each 2 costs 15,000 EU and produces Zn + S).  Now I have 15 Zn dust to play with.  Looks like hydrogen cells no longer run as fuel in normal furnaces or generators ... only 15k EU in a gas turbine (which needs 2 adv circuits, 2 windmills, rGlass and 4 Invar/Al to craft!).

23:50 - more weird recipes.  Meanwhile, make 2 adv machine blocks, fiddle a bit ... Industrial Centrifuge ready to roll.  Go up top & hook it up.  And then it exploded!  And wiped out my electrolyzer too.  Well that sucks.  Okay, the Ind Centrifuge is NOT a MV machine.  Dammit.  heaps of crafting wasted.  Back to drawing board.  Crap.  Just a dumbass move.  Thought they would look nice side by side, and poof.  Well, need heaps of iron for new machine blocks.  Let's see how quickly I can redo it all. 12:12 - 4 machine blocks, 6 elec circuits, 2 extractors.

12:18 - quick run for rubber, hacked 8 trees, replanted them, 43 drops and 43 wood (13 sticky resin).  00:23 - Magnetizer done.  4 more elecronic circuits.  12:26 Electrolyzer done.  Grab 32 coal ore for macerator (2 coal dust each for carbon plate etc).  out of iron, run my last 16 Fe ore in Induction furnace.  12:33 - make 4 adv circuits (electrum recipe again for 2 each).  00:34 = Industrial eclectrolyzer done!  Go to roof to install it, just noticed the blast wiped out two of my semifluid generators too.  Hulk saaaaaad.  Oh well, hooked up, run 2x9 ruby dust for Al and Cr.  MFSU at 4M.  Luckily the blast didn't take THAT out!  Cut hole in roof under the Electrolyzer so I can access it from below.  ;-)

I don't think I have enough materials to complete the Industrial Centrifuge right now, let me go diving for iron and copper.  Actually, the IndCent is not so bad ... got the extractor, 2 AIC, and 4 RI, just need 2 AMB.  that's what the coal was for.  12:43 done, okay only 20 minutes of frenzied action to repair that bonehead explosion.  I'm super low on tin, and these gadgets want lots of cells.  Mining run!

01:05 - Not a bad run, ores (41 coal, 10 niko, 5 Ag, 9 Pb, 16 Fe, 2 Ferrous, 1 cinnabar, 1 ruby), plus 31 lava cans.  emerald pick is toast, make a new sapphire one.  01:15 - processed heap of ores, keep running out of fuel in there, need some better engines.  Ran 64 dirt in IndCent before mining, run 64 more.  MFSU at 4.3M.  01:25 - okay, replaced the two semifluid generators, back in business.  Got last 21 cans of oil from tank #1, no more oil in area.  One more mining run, with my turtle ... MFSU at 4.6M.

02:00 - Good ore run, after connecting pump to big river of lava about 30 blocks away.  Grab 39 lava cans.  Ores: 7 Al, 6 diamond, 37 coal, 4 galena, 3 quartz, 19 iron, 4 gold (run w rich slag for 12 gold ingots), 10 redstone, 17 nikolite (pulv gave 2 bonus diamond dust), 2 Pb, 1 U, 1 ruby, 2 sapphire.  Oops, macerated one of my diamond ore into 2 diamond dust ... meant to smelt them to 1 diamond each.  So now I have 7 diamonds, 6 diamond dust.

Cool, there's a Power Converter to generate factorization Charge from MJ or EU power, downside is, you need the solar turbine to make it, so still have to make the packet maker and stamper, and blow up a block of diamond into shards.  But the Grinder gives the best yields for diamond ore (225% diamond), coal ore (650% coal), maybe a few others, and crystallizer can make slimeballs from milk and lime green dye.  The PowerConverter mod developed a neat logic, used to be pretty blah, but now you need a Receiver (source power type) linked to an energy link, linked to a Producer (target power type).  Anyway, need 9 diamonds to hook this up.  2 short.  MFSU at 5.9 million.

Done for the night.


Here's a view of Quickhaven, on the way back from the Nether portal:
Fairly primitive, but stuff gets done.

4/23

Lunch visit - add 2nd floor to (still unused) Butricity lab, add second floor to Ore Processing (floor 1 will stay Thermal Expansion, floor 2 planned to be factorization machine through PowerConverters).  Replaced the dirt splat behind my main house, was originally going to plant a garden there, but tree just spawned mobs and dropped them in town.  Emptied tank #1, put xychorium water on top, it's now endless water, right next to peat bog, so I could close off the little 3x2 pool I was getting buckets of water from, harvested 23 peat.  While there I broke down the rest of that long pipeline halfway to tank #2, 39 pipes.  While I was that far out I ran to one of those distant oil pools, cleared it out with aluminum cans, got 23 cans of oil.  MFSU at 7.2M.  That's it for lunch.  Really productive little span of time.

4PM - Quick nether run, sealed my little fort #2, heard pigmen all over but they don't show up on radar?  Tunnelled down, found a route to the true surface of the world.  made a tiny fort down a cliff side at a lava lake where I grabbed 30 cans of lava.  Then up to surface, quick little 5x6 shelter over tunnel opening, seal it off.  Future: Revisit and expand this base and make a Mystcraft link to it.  THIS is a good starting point for exploration.  Mined 3x64 netherrack, 5 sphalerite ore, 58 sphalerite dust, 10 zinc dust, 2 yellow garnets.  Went around all nether ores for now.  Tense but peaceful.  When I came back to overworld there were 2 piggies on the portal platform on this side.  I should have opened the gate and let them wander off into the desert.  Took some screen grabs on the way back to town.  MFSU at 7.7M.

After dinner: 19:00 - make steel pickaxe, add more items to my TO DO list.  Run to village to borrow 10 books.  Widen the tunnel to wiz tower to act as a booklink station, will be Twilight on left and Nether links on right.  Out of torches, cook 30 coal ore.  hack up that old, tiny "shards lab", moved all that to my wiz tower.  Stow the fisher for now.  Start new building 12x9 on that spot, 2 stories high right now, empty, will think of a use for it later.  2nd story one block narrower, planning 3rd story one block wider (same as 1st floor).  that's all I have time for right now ... l8r.

After 11.  23:57 - Build new center-of-town house up a bit more.  Then start widening tunnel to Wiz Tower, to make a hallway of book links.  Go to Twilight Forest, expand my fenced-in lit safe zone to about 30x30.  Dig mine down, start tunnel at level 9 toward where I thought I saw a lich tower on surface.  Ores (4 diamond, 1 Ag, 13 Fe, 8 nikolite, 3 Cinnabar, 4 ruby, 4 red xy, 2 dark xy, 2 light xy, 10 redstone, 7 Pbm 5 ferrous).  Fe in induction smelter, nik then ferrous in pulverizer, diamonds in furnace, bonus items: 3 rich slag, no diamond dust, no shiny dust.

23:32 - Add first Twilight link to hall of book warps, then run to Nether and link to Portal Fort and Base Camp.  Build up the base camp, stone brick about 9x9x3 right now.  A bit cramped.  Need to crank up view distance, see if there's anything worth mining out there!  Back topside, MFSU at 9.3M.  Out of oil, out of lava.  Bring some empty cans back down 2 nether with me.  Lava central.

23:57 - Nether run, warp to Base Camp.  Setup book link back to overworld, save all that walking!  Quick run.  Mine a bit, tunnel up under some magma cubes & trap em.  Got: 1 magma cream, 30 lava cans, 1 minium shard, 4 Sph dust, 16 Sph ore, 1 Zn dust, 123 netherrack, gunpowder.  Topside, MFSU at 9.16M.

Argh, super laggy, need to reboot.  Go rest my eyes a bit anyway.  In twilight world, tunneling toward the "lich castle" on the big map in distance.  Confused.  Can't jump, RCONTROL not detected, keyboard keeps acting like the button is stuck.  Then I can't move inventory around. because Ctrl is stuck??  Annoying.  Couldn't quite get to lich castle, but tunneled fairly nearby, also very close to a smaller structure on map.  Will surface next time and see what's out there.  heaps of blue guys on radar all over.  Whammied on it a bit, seems unstuck now.  Was bouncing up & down in a narrow tunnel for a while, with mobs on radar all around.  Anyway, found 8 gold ore -> 24 gold bars along the way.

IC2 lab: run 32 pyrite: in IndElec for 10 Fe:, 20 S: & 2 leftover.  Run 6 sphalerite dust.   IndCent, run Cu dust to get 8 tp each of Ni and Au.  Study the 100 IndCent recipes ... most food items x16 -> 4 CH4 cells, odd but okay.

Compare the output ... quick rubber run, whack 3 trees, get 18 rubber wood & 18 drops.  16 Rubber wood + 5 cells in IndCent gives 8 Resin + 6 Plantballs + CH4Cell + 4 CarbonCell for 25kEU.  Run resin in 2 batches of 4 for a total of 28 Rubber (+18 rubber mats cooked separately) + 2 ComprPlants + 2 PlantBalls for 13kEU.  Other 2 wood gave no resin in sawmill, but gave 12 planks.  Oops, macerated some of those balls into dirt (duh) instead of compressing them, but it's a good return overall: 16 rubber wood = 28 rubber + 18 rubber mats + 8 plantballs + 6 compr.plants + CH4Cell for 38kEU.
