Heya!
I just read the thread and looked at some images and stuff.
I'm very excited about RotaryCraft and ReactorCraft!
However, there are a couple of questions I have.

1) Is there any wiki or not-in-game-documentation on RotaryCraft? Sometimes I just can't launch the game to check that out
2) How stable is 1.6 version of RotaryCraft? Is there any game-breaking bugs or missing functionality - like that RC integration, is it only for 1.5.2?

1. I do not have time to create and maintain a wiki, and of the three people who started wikis, none made more than 5 or so pages before abandoning them.
2. It appears stable enough; people are not reporting much world corruption. However, there is quite a bit of missing functionality. This will in time be repaired. The RailCraft conversion is for now 1.5.2 only.

Ah, thank you for the explanation! I'll play with your mod this evening and maybe find some bugs or maybe not :3
Does it have some sort of ID autoassigning?

Quote from PonyKuu

Ah, so I'll have to make a fresh install with RC only... Or... IDK test FTB version.

I'm spending a little time updating http://rotary-craft.wikia.com (chosen more or less randomly). I hope you don't mind me repurposing the text & images from the mod itself?

Just fiddling around with the mod, looks fantastic so far
Quick question: in NEI some items show up without textures but when placed they seem to come up normal. is this the index out of bounds error you wrote about in the faq ?

Here comes the promised bugs (1.6.2)!
1) Shift-click on a bucket inside the gearbox GUI: http://pastebin.com/JeS3xDwK

2) Accessing Railgun GUI: http://pastebin.com/NsYceN9Q

3) Pile driver doesn't work for some reason (setup: gas turbine -> diamond shaft -> dynamometer -> pile driver). Maybe I'm missing something, but that book doesn't say anything about torque/speed requirement - only power

4) Woodcutter digs some blocks, drops some leaves and then stops: http://i.imgur.com/F5eX3fe.png

5) Tried to set up a steam engine with a heater. It's kinda difficult and I'm not sure... steam engine seems to... not worth the effort. Maybe I'm not taking into account resource cost. Or maybe it's not meant to run with a heater. The issue is that heater didn't remember the number I type in its GUI.

One more: placing a BC liquid pipe next to the pressure balancer. (Target liquid - jet fuel, target network - BC) http://pastebin.com/bAwd6MrP

And Fractionation Unit seems to consume items only sometimes. http://i.imgur.com/rr3B8Ut.png

Quote from Zandorum

So I was playing with Dye Trees and I feel it spawns them too often, I was hoping for it to be a Max of 1 Per Chunk and a 5% chance of that even happening making it so once you find a Dye Tree your really happy and then make a Tree Farm out of it to make more of that Dye. Could you please add a option in the config to make it gen like that for me please. Edit: Noticed White and Black Trees give Bonemeal and Ink Sacs. If you can make Special White and Black Dye's or atleast make them on the hard mode have a 2% chance of spawning instead of a normal Dye Tree.

Quote from Reika

Seeing as they are already rarer than that - the code runs once per chunk with only a 2% chance, plus the spawn requirements - making it 5% will have the opposite effect of what you want. And no, I am not going to make them rarer still, as they are only common in Forest-type biomes (and even then only one every 50-80 chunks or so).
A config option is definitely not going to happen, as it will allow over-controlling server owners to say "farming dye is overpowered" and functionally disable them entirely.

Quote from Zandorum

Everywhere I go I find atleast 10 within 30 blocks of eachother and if its that dense in forests could you make it so in the config not doing that is an option? Also still please consider the Black and White Dye trees being the rarest due to them not just being dye.

Quote from PonyKuu

Nice!
Also, another 1.6 bug - missing texture in Vacuum GUI.

There are more missing textures like some devices when they are not placed and liquid in pipes, but I think you aware about that.

Quote from PonyKuu

One more issue, some thoughs and questions.

Issue #1:
Air Compressor doesn't output power to wooden pipe. Setup Gasoline engine -> Dyamometer -> Air Compressor. That thingie that requires ender pearl to craft says that it's outputting 1.smth MJ/t, but I power didn't flow through the pipe.
BTW, Is the conversion ratio 64KW = 1 MJ/t?

Thought #1:
It kinda bugs me when engine reach it's full speed or stops instantly. It's OK for low-speed stuff, but not for turbines for example. Maybe some speed-up/slowdown time depending on speed? If you use real physics formulas maybe add some angular momentum for the engine shafts?

Thought #2:
It seems like there's no way to harvest/replant wheat, that lubricant plant and other stuff automatically. Maybe such a machine would be nice.

Thought #3:
You said before that IC2 power network is incompatible with RC one, but... It's basically the same as BC power. There are energy units(Eu) and power units(Eu/t). Their "Voltage" is just a set of power thresholds and can be ignored when you convert one to another. Player may use IC2 transformers to adjust the "Voltage" so the converters may work exactly the same way they work for MJ.

Thought #4:
There are three types of geared transmission units and one worm drive, but only gearboxes require lubricant. While I get that it maybe would too annoying if Bevel Gears and Shaft Junctions also were tiered like shafts and gearboxes and require lubricant, that would make a little bit more sence :3
Lubricant usage can also be avoided by using CVT unit (however, It is makes sence since CVT is kinda... friction-based transmission :3 I'm also not sure about cost, so that might be well-"balanced" even though I hate word "balance")

Question #1:
Is there a way to automate the jet fuel production? That includes production of magma cream, blaze powder and tar (How do I get it, BTW?)

Question #2:
I tested Pulse Jet Furnace yesterday, Powered it with a Microturbine and supplied jet fuel. I put some iron into that and it blew up due to overheating several minutes later. How to cool it down properly?

Question #3:
Flywheels. To be honest, I don't understand them. I got that they can accumulate power, but they only have one input and no outputs, so... how should I use that power? Maybe they should be attached to a machine in some way... I don't understand.

Question #4:
Since there are actually no energy storage except for flywheels it seems to be a "power mod", not "energy mod" like most of the mods like TE, IC2 and Mekanism that feature large energy storages and the common approach is "producer -> capacitor -> consumers" so that energy producer can generate much less power than consumers can use. Engines in this mod should produce the exact amount of power consumers can consume.
So this is a "midset" question, actually. How do you think this mod should be played? I mean, power procuction. Do you think that it should be centralized or power should be produced in the place where it will be used?

kicked from the server. accidentally jumped on the reactor. now I can not go to the server)))
it seems the problem is the other mode ..

UP
Why buggy texture when I pick up night-vision goggles (the other is caused by an item of such a bug)?
such as texture disappears buckets of water
or this item
