Thermal Expansion 2.3.0.b7
A Team CoFH Mod


Thermal Expansion, at its core, is a "tech" mod - it's a mod of what ifs. For example, what if you could turn water into ice or snow with a machine?

Spoiler:

Or how about a machine that could combine lava and water however you choose?

Spoiler:

What if there were a wool that didn't burn?

Spoiler:

Or, what if you could set up advanced yet extremely compact production chains that didn't require redstone engines or complex pipe routing?

Spoiler:

If any of that interests you, then you may want to check this out.

Update News (2.2.0):
So, 2.2.0 is out!

It adds Tesseracts, an MJ Reader, and some performance improvements.

Here's a very good overview of the new version, put together by Direwolf20:



Thanks DW20!

Additionally, for a really good tutorial with annotations of the Factory module, RedstoneNightmare put this together:

It's for 1.0.5, but it's also very well done, and I had meant to put it up on the wiki quite a while ago.

Thanks RedstoneNightmare!

I'd also like to apologize to you for not having gotten that up on the wiki when I really had meant to - it's a great resource and it's just something that I didn't get done for reasons that I really can't fathom.

2.2.1:
-IMPORTANT: There has been a large internal refactor - the CoFH Core mod is now required for Thermal Expansion.

Updated OP to reflect Forge 127+. Although I would recommend 135+. I'm making use of the new OreDictionary code.

EDIT: As of version 1.0.2, Forge 3.1.2.90 is supported.

[Tabris_]

Induction Smelter seems not to recognize IC2 copper and tin. (Not dust, the ore block)

[Ryandevries920]

Never posted error before so sorry if I didn't do it right. not sure how to leave it in spoiler. every time I right click with Crescent Hammer I crash. also pulverized silver ore will not smelt.

ok never mind figured it out

[SirSengir]

Already looking to be an excellent tech mod.

[SpitefulFox]

This mod looks awesome already.

I'd suggest maybe adding a screenshot and a short description to the thread itself, though.  Not everyone's gonna be willing to check the wiki to find out what it's about. D:

[KingLemmingCoFH]

Thanks for the replies and for diving right in everyone, I do appreciate it.

I'll get to work on the OreDictionary issues right now, I believe I know what the problem is. In the meantime, pulverizing the ore should allow you to smelt it. However, the pulverized tin ore will apparently smelt into silver ingots if RedPower 2 is installed...so yeah, found that bug. Fixed now, will be updated in the download once I get a few more knocked out.

Regarding the Crescent Hammer, that was an oversight on my part - I just need to make it check for 4096 block support. (The reason it calls OnItemUseFirst btw is because you can rotate any vanilla block with it as well, I should mention that on the wiki.)

Also, I'll get a screenshot up and elaborate on the OP more.

Thanks again for the comments!

[DrEinsteinium]

You'll get more visitors to your wiki if you post a picture or video in the main post to get people intrigued or interested.

Edit: After reading "The Basics" on the wiki, I feel like this mod could go VERY far if you release an API modders can use to add their machines to your mod.

[KingLemmingCoFH]

OP is updated with some screenshots and intro - it will be elaborated on more as I am able to.

Also, bugs which have been pointed out are fixed - thanks very much for catching those everyone. Quite sorry they got in there in the first place.

An API is in the works, but unfortunately there's no good way to just "bolt on" this functionality to other mods - the block really has to be designed from the ground up with it in mind. I will add as much API support as I can though - at the very least, other mods will be able to add new recipes to Thermal Expansion machines.

[Shadowrock]

Is it possible for you to make a version that uses the old ore dictionary, as I can't use the newest forge?

EDIT: Done. Although I cannot promise that this will go back far enough for you.

[Grumbosch]

I am glad to see this mod going forward so well

I will download this today after I come home and run some tests

[Grumbosch]

I did run some tests and the only bug i was able to find is, that your pulverizer does not work with forestry tin ore blocks.

I tested with Forestry, Industrial Craft and Redpower2 ores.

All machines did what they should do.
Pipes and tubes worked fine. Is it possible for you to make it so that your machines are able to eject to redpower tubes as well? If not it's not too bad because your machines eject just fine to redpower2 buffers.

Very good work though

Looking forward to the next parts of your mod.

P.S. : I got one suggestion. I know you said that your smelters will never work with ore dusts from industrial craft. This is a good point, but wouldn't it be possible to add a smelter recipe to your machines that do just one ingot from a industrial craft ore dust? Then there would be no exploit. I know you could ask "why use a macerator and one of my smelters when you could just use the pulverizer and a smelter to get the same effect?". But I think it would just fit better into all this other mods if it would accept the dusts

[Grumbosch]

Oh and an additional suggestion : Could you make your Aqueous Accumulator able to pump lava as well? At this time the only way to work with your Igneous Extruder is to connect a buildcraft pump for pumping lava while your Aqueous Accumulator can pump the water. Even cooler it would be if your machine could accept lava from redpower2 fluid pipes (but I have no clue if this is possible)

[KingLemmingCoFH]

Appreciate the comments, Grumbosch, but in the future, could you maybe just edit your first post if nobody has replied since then? Keeps things just a bit less cluttered.

Unfortunately, I can't replicate your Tin Ore bug - it works just fine for me. And after double-checking the code, it really should. The only reason it wouldn't work is if somehow the Forestry version of Tin Ore is not being registered with the Ore Dictionary.

Tube support is as good as it's going to get at the moment - there's nothing more I can do without a RedPower API.

You're partially right on the Dust - however it would still allow you to create infinite amounts of Slag; the Slag is a function of the machine, not of the recipe. At this time, I don't see a need to really change that. Also, the Induction Smelter takes way more energy than a conventional furnace - there wouldn't be a compelling reason to smelt dust in it even if it generated no Slag and a single Ingot.

If you're worried about needing dust for bronze, then I apologize for not having put it up on the wiki (and will correct that), but you can make 2 Bronze Blend with 3 Pulverized Copper and a Pulverized Tin (Shapeless). You can also take 2 Bronze Blend and convert it into 4 Brass Blend (Shapeless), or the other way around. This keeps the ratio in line with respect to what the other modders have established.

Regarding the Aqueous Accumulator, it will never be able to pump lava - the machine was specifically created not to "pump" at all. I don't intend to replace the BuildCraft pump - it works quite well generally, there's just an occasional issue with infinite sources glitching out. You can manually fill the Igneous Extruder with a bucket - just put a water or lava bucket into the slot. If you're generating cobblestone, this isn't too much of a problem - one bucket will get you infinite amounts of cobblestone. I realize this isn't optimal, but at its core, the mod is best played with BuildCraft.

I'll check on the RedPower fluid tube stuff, but I'm guessing it's the same deal - I have no way to interact with them without an API.

However, something you can do is place a Magma Crucible adjacent to the Igneous Extruder. Use netherrack in the crucible and the energy cost per bucket of lava won't be so bad.
