This mod is great! thanks TehKrush!

It works just fine for me but I have 1 question: Is there a way to make it work in Tropicraft. So I can cut down those trees too?

timber & cheers

can you make it timber compatible with forge

It is compatible

I could really use power converter for 1.3.2 so please update it

That hidden doors mod is awesome, if you arent going to update it, let someone else update it for you

And if I want to set that axes talen other types of wood? Do I set it up? If you can't in this version I hope that they will put the next

So guys... I'm running Minecraft 1.1 And have the following mods. and I'm placing it here because its related to plastic craft.

Buildcraft
Plastic Craft
EE2
Balkons weapons mod.

I can already hear you going 'wtf, why would you use plastic craft with EE2, Darkmater furnaces are better than extractors and microwaves, and aren't the alchemical explosives better than C4, what gives?' And now I'll tell you why. It's 3 reasons.

Reason 1: Kevlar armor makes a good stand in for iron, and EMC wise, it is far cheaper.
Reason 2: Unlimited food. Jello is win.
Reason 3: Plastic craft as an intermediary power source.

Here's how to use plastic craft as an intermediary power source with EE2 in minecraft 1.1. I am currently doing this on hardcore. here is the order of what to do starting at world creation

1. basic minecraft starting shenanigans.
2. acquire cows
3. acquire wheat
4. Acquire Sugar cane
5. breed lots of cows for leather and beef to make plastic and leather armor
6. Use Jello as food, as it is cheap
7. upgrade to kevlar armor with plastic craft
8. Do basic EE2 stuff up until getting a philosopher stone and alchemy table. DO NOT BOTHER with iron armor. Still need an iron pick. Don't bother with a diamond pick till later as you can make a nether portal with redstone/lava/water to convert redstone into obsidian. EE2 has Redstone and obsidian both worth the same EMC, so you're not wasting anything. upgrade iron and gold into diamonds w/PS for your pick to collect obsidian to make your alchemy table.
9. ​ shenanigans start here
10. Collect 720 EMC of matter, 96 of which can be in cobblestone, or be converted later. 64 of which in planks for woodflour (Averages 2 EMC per woodflour but can not be converted)
11. collect at least 5 charcoal
12. Use 512 EMC to make 8 raw chicken, beef, leather, whatever. they're 64 EMC each
13. Use 48 EMC to make 8 bowls
14. 8 bowls of gelatin costs a total of 560 EMC
15. 8 bowls of gelatin becomes 32 stacks of gelatin
16. 96 EMC into cobblestone for 32 cobblestone molds, 64 EMC for 8 planks, for 32 woodflour
17. +4 coal to get 96 plastic balls, totalling 720 EMC in matter, and 160 EMC in fuel
18. 96 plastic balls into 96 clear plastic balls
19. 96 clear plastic balls into strings (2 clear plastic to 4 strings, for 192 strings)
20. 192 strings into synthetic fiber (1/4 as many strings, or 1/2 as many plastic balls at start, for 48)
21. Spend 192 EMC to make 48 sticks @ 4 EMC each.
22. 1 synthetic fiber + 1 stick = 4 feathers
23. Feathers are worth 48 EMC per feather.

You have now spent a total of 1078 EMC (Including fuel and sticks)
You have received an output of 9216 EMC (in the form of 192 feathers @ 48 EMC Each)
Or *about* 900% EMC... 800% Profit!


I have built a semi-complex machine with buildcraft with automated crafting tables, furnaces, etc. I manually make bowls of gelatin, and woodflour. Fill a bunch of chests with charcoal, woodflour, cobblestone, bowls of gelatin, and sticks, Flip a lever, Walk away, and come back to an absolutely preposterous amount of EMC in the form of feathers, pumped right into a condenser. It's unfortunately go the problem of needing 2-3 alchemy chests with black hole bands to handle the overflow in furnaces, but I've already started replacing them with darkmatter furnaces, which will have the same problem but much less frequency.

The output of the aforementioned machine is about 1 darkmatter every 20-40 minutes depending on how much fuel, gelatin, and cobblestone I have. And it wouldn't be possible without Plasticcraft. I currently only have 2 solar collector MK3's and 1 Relay MK3. That tells you how early on I started doing this.


My next objectives include building a ghast-proof rainbow-road out of plastic and covered in interdiction torches that leads from my nether portal to the nearest nether fortress... And keep in mind, i've been doing all this on SSP Hardcore. I'm probably gonna blow some stuff up with C4 in the process and I'll probably be wearing the longfall boots because I've been using my EMC to make solar collectors and EMC so I can't really afford SWRG yet, and the boots are hella cheap in comparison.


Just thought I'd share with you guys. I'm not letting the lack of plasticcraft in the current version get in the way of my plasticky nonsense fun. It's really simple. Revert to 1.1 and use older versions of the mods. I mean really, Just what am I missing out on from 1.2x and 1.3x? iron golems, working NPC's, tripwires. cats. uh.... skulls?.... new biomes?.... emeralds?.... And if you want to play on an online server thats 1.2.x or 1.3.x just backup your minecraft folder, it's not that big unless you have super-enormous maps.

1.) HOLY TEXT WALL BATMAN!

2.) That actually sounds like something fun to do. Too bad I enjoy 1.3.2 and the mods that I'm using right now (and I'm too lazy to actually downgrade)...

I'd just like to point out that you could already pump lava directly into geothermal generators. Otherwise great mods!

I apologize if this has been answered already on this thread, I've been looking and haven't found the answer so far. I've seen somewhere a download link for a BuildCraft 3 version of the Power Converters mod, but the official thread here says it is NOT compatible with BC3 yet. Is there a BC3 beta version out there, or is it a rogue version that I'm better off leaving alone?

Quote from Zantza

I clicked Other Author's Mods and there they are. But there is no PCS for 1.3.2?

i would like to use your timber mod in a survival modpack. im not sure if i will post the modpack or use it privately, but if i do, i will send you the link.

Will plastic craft ever be updated?

disregard this post. solved my own problem.
