Quickhaven 4/9 to 4/11
I know vidoes would be more fun, but here's how things are developing. I will try to start added screenshots soon.
4/9
23:00
Quick run, hacked two rubber trees. These new type of rubber trees are more efficient: chop it down, get 5-6 logs and 3-4 rubber drops; run logs through sawmill - 12 logs gave 48 wood & 2 sticky resin (in extractor = 6 black rubber). Leaves are useless though, they don't make plantballs, don't burn as fuel, no recipes, will save em for the recycler.
IC2 lab, made 12 gold wire, double insulated, made 6 power crystals (from ruby), made MFE, left it in chest for next build phase -- need to figure out what's going where first.
Really out of coal now, ugh. Started basement under IC2 lab, forgot it was half built out over the water, so basement is offset a bit. Sent mining turtle to tunnel all the way to town. Made workspaces down here in future so less has to load on the surface world. Found about 80 coal, 20 iron, 12 copper, a few other things along the way.
Thermal lab, built an Induction smelter (ugh recipe switched from sand to invar ingots, had to figure out how to make invar - two iron dust and one ferrous|nickel dust). Took down another big tree, 30 logs, made 4 barrels, lined em up along first tunnel below main house, for backup storage of super common stuff.
Done for night.

4/10
Quick afternoon visit, helped Rutt setup an enchanting lounge in village, only 5 bookshelves, up to level 12 enchantments. Got efficiency 2 on my diamond pick, then protection 2 on two new pieces of iron armor.
23:00 Went to village, continued road from there toward spawn, tunneled thru a small hill, then dove for clay, grabbed about 80 clay balls.
Started manual peat bog. Made 2 xycraft Fabricators, setup one next to peat bog next to chest; I can add dirt, sand, water buckets and it makes bog earth instantly. Left a few blocks of water open to refill buckets.
00:20 Other xy Fabricator is next to chest in house; making coke oven bricks. Got 24, need 2 more! Okay (00:42) ran some other stuff, now have 26 coke oven bricks. Started framing a railcraft shop next to ore processing.
01:04 Finished frame of railcraft lab, including windows shapred like "r c" on backside. Put coke oven on roof, fed it 8 coal, first 2 coal coke done. First harvest of 27 peat. The fuel situation is looking much better now! Will grab all coal left in furnaces around town, swap out with peat, and upgrade coal to coal coke.
Started a little wiz tower in horseshoe-shaped valley about 50 blocks north of main town, ringed it with tall trees, small bottom layer built, no windows, no access except thru tunnel from under my hosue.
Done for night.

4/11
Night run. Rutt was on, he built a new longhouse full of barrels for stones & ores. I connected it to my main tunnel then extended that tunnel (mining turtle) about 100 blocks past village; got bogged down under a river but found a piece of iridium. Still says 200m to "first hole" waypoint by the spawn point, but after that there are two distant villages all nicely aligned. It just cries out for a long tunnel with future rail line.
Then built my first xycraft Multi-Tank. Needs at least one valve and at least one Item IO block, THEN it finally showed the weird blue mesh saying it was officially a tank. Started pumping oil from nearby hole about 30m away. Capacity 768,000mb; stopped at 27,000mb of oil, that puddle is now dry, ran out in middle of night to shut off the engines.
Did a few batches of peat; now have about 70 peat and 16 coal coke stockpiled. Let me go check railcraft building ... 17 more coal coke ready, 22,000mb of creosote oil. Future: pump that down from roof to main floor into carpenter to make RR ties.
00:32 disassembled first oil rig, next hole was about 30m further out in desert, started pipeline out there, harvest cactus for more waterproofing.
Morning: ran out and tried to hook up pipeline, setup the pump & engine but still need about 15 more pipes. Ran around chopping cacti, made a few little cactus farm spots for future use. 01:44 okay, hooked up the waterproof pipeline, pumps on!
Harvested peat while waiting, grab 36.
01:48 morning, check the oil tank: 54,910mb, stopped. Yup, well is dry again. Tank is at (197,727), pipeline made it to (245,715). Looks like next well is at (297,726 - 60 more blocks!), others at (296,801 - 180m from tank) and (249, 769 - 90m from tank). Oh well, will eventually snag them all. Hopefully one of them is a deeper well. Will need many crops of cactus first.
Playing with Thermal Expansion machines: to smelt pulverized metals, induction smelter is way faster than powered furnace, it does 2 at a time. And with rich slag in the induction smelter, all ores go directly to 3 pulv metals in one step! Note that rich slag seems most likely as a byproduct of ind-smelting Aluminum ore.
02:08 done for night.
