In regards to Geostrata, are there any plans for half slabs and stairs? This would make building with the new rock types more consistent and appealing

For the longest time, I said no because I felt it would be a waste of block IDs. However, with 1.7's changes, this is more viable.
However, since each stair and slab would need its own ID - thus necessitating over 40 new blocks - this is going to wait until 1.7.

Thanks! Now that I know, I'll set the temp higher with lava. Will look into the engine control unit too.

More important is the fact that the fermenter is not supposed to be hot.

I've been getting this error this morning but I updated a few mods so haven't got around to troubleshooting yet, I play single player.

Downgrade to LegacyCraft v13.

I tried reading back, and I caught a couple of tantalizing references, but I can't figure out what people were referring to. Is there any way to protect a specific, relatively small area from meteors in Meteorcraft?

Aside from the biome controls, no.

I play Minecraft with my boyfriend, and we have significantly varying priorities. He loves the idea of meteors. We only got it set up tonight, and I have been playing after he crashed for the night, so I have been around for three meteors (two within a few minutes of one another, which was my signal to stop for the night), while he has yet to be startled out of his chair by the sound effect. I am okay with them, other than the aforementioned startle reflex, but I play with Millenaire, and I would really rather not have to somehow restart an entire NPC village after much development because a meteor dropped on their town hall or other key building. They can spawn in a wide range of biomes and altitudes, so the current options don't really help me much. If a general protection thingummy isn't desirable for the direction you would like your mod to go, I know the Millenaire town centers have a game effect that at least some other mods can detect (I can see the notation on ChickenBones' ChickenChunks GUI to show which chunks are loaded), maybe it would be possible to set a radius around those or some other aspect of Millenaire buildings (locked chests, maybe?) within which the meteors switch to air burst to prevent village destruction?

Three problems here. One, the meteors are simply "fired" in a random direction and left to impact whatever is in their path; they are projectiles, not target-seeking missiles. Two, how is the meteor to know about the existence of a building from any mod (or from vanilla)? It is not a "thing" in the game world which can be detected. Third is performance. To continuously test a 12-block radius around the meteor every tick would make them lag horifically.

Mostly spitballing. I think the idea is very cool, and BF and I have a deal that if one of the villages gets nuked, we're setting meteors to all air burst or something, but I do think the ground impacts are extremely cool, so if there's a way to keep those without risking the loss of an entire village because Millenaire isn't self-repairing yet, that would make me a lot less nervous about having it in our personal modpack.

If you have RotaryCraft, its force field has a protection capability.

Quote from NocturneBlock

Your improved TNT mod has an item ID conflict with something in Metallurgy, and neither mod provides an easy way to edit the IDs that I can find. There is no way I could get my BF to play without Metallurgy at this point, and I am not up to decompiling, so currently doing without the incredibly useful version of TNT. Please consider adding a .cfg that lets users change the block ID (I can't think of anything else that would need configuration on such a self-contained mod, really). I would love to actually have a use for all the explosives we can make from the Metallurgy utility ores. :-)

What will be v15 already has it.

Playing with LegacyCraft crashes our game every short but seemingly random time period with a world.tick error. Crash log at http://pastebin.com/WY8Z5jjg . I didn't try it with only one of us playing, so it is possible that this is only a problem in a LAN game or something like that. I have yet to figure out how to read crash logs, sorry. What should I be poking to get this working?

Use LegacyCraft v13.

Quote from Mortvana

Um, either I am derpy, or something in MeteorCraft v13 (Because of the v14 LegacyCraft weirdness, and me not reading the thread) is wonky, I have B:"Always Skyburst in Overworld"=true in the config but a full size meteor hit my "house" (Read: 5x4 dirt hut) any way, destroying 7 chests of things (Worst thing to come home to after Finals *sigh*), not sure if B:"Global Airburst Override"=false needs to be changed to true for it to work though...

Sometimes the non-global airbursts fail to take effect. I have no idea why this is.

Quote from Mortvana

If it helps it said a meteor shower was starting. Also I get ReactorCraft's Ore Block with a metadata of zero in meteor showers (Called Fluorite, but is the Magnetite/Pitchblende ID)
-Mortvana

I know of this, but every fix has failed to work.

EDIT:
I found the problem - falling sand entities representing reactorcraft ore lose the metadata property when landing on an invalid spot.
Fixed.

Quote from zohar101

The thing is, our base is like on the very top of alps and ambient temperature is -16C or so. So the thing refuses to run unless there is some sort of heat source.

OK, but lava is not the answer. Yeast does no better at 1200C than it does at -16. In fact, it rather unsurprisingly does worse.

Quote from Scooterdanny

Is it possible to get lubricant consumption rates listed in the handbook? it would take a lot of the guesswork out of managing larger systems.

There is nowhere to fetch those values from - they are buried in code - and as such I would have to write out the literal values. I do not want to do this, as it would not change if the code did.

Quote from Scooterdanny

Also, what all counts as "organic material" when referring to the fermenter? I know leaves work, but a list would be appreciated.

    SUGARCANE(Item.reed, 1),
    TALLGRASS(Block.tallGrass, 2),
    LILYPAD(Block.waterlily, 1),
    SAPLING(Block.sapling, 1),
    ROSE(Block.plantRed, 1),
    FLOWER(Block.plantYellow, 1),
    VINES(Block.vine, 2),
    LEAVES(Block.leaves, 2);

Okay I'll change the global airburst to true, well when I make my new instance [with UE]

Quote from exelsisxax

Can you add some sort of invulnerable block option in the config for the meteors? It becomes very frustrating when normally invulnerable blocks are obliterated and thrown around as if they were dirt.

Which block would that be?

Quote from GSValore

I've been trying to use the Redstone Pump and cannot seem to get it to output any liquids. I've tried Ender IO, RotaryCraft, and Thermal Expansion fluid/liquid pipes and none of them connect to the pump. I can't click on it with a bucket either. I've given the pump a redstone clock (also tried a lever) and it seems to pull in blocks to its internal buffer but I am unable to retrieve the liquid.

Is there something special I need to do with the block to use it? I had it placed over the corner of a 3x3 water hole for testing and saw it removing blocks. I tried connecting the pipes on all sides (even the bottom) and nothing connects. Even adjacent tanks or machines which take liquids do not seem to react.

It is a bucket filling device. Use item pipes, not liquid pipes.

Quote from exelsisxax

A lot, really. Things that normally resist creeper explosions, and the many blocks added by mods that have explosion resistant or hardened properties. Things like iron blocks and obsidian in vanilla or the nuke-proof blocks from various mods. Basically just a configurable ID list of thing that totally ignore being impacted by meteors and prevent the other side from being damaged. Otherwise, your house is going to recieve severe damage at some point, with no way to avoid it without making it rain ore in your biome.

Just because it can withstand a creeper blast does not mean it can withstand the mass of a house at Mach 40.

Hey there Reika,
Found out what is causing this error:

2014-01-24 23:18:18 [INFO] [STDOUT] Tile Entity Hydrokinetic Engine @ 63, 64, -36 is throwing class java.lang.NullPointerException on update: null
2014-01-24 23:18:18 [INFO] [STDERR] java.lang.NullPointerException
2014-01-24 23:18:18 [INFO] [STDOUT]

The issue is if the water is blocked somewhere from falling to the hydrokinetic engine. I use a setup that engages pistons to turn off the water flow to the engines when not in use to save on lubricant -- this often starts the console spam, and requires a break of the engines to get them working again.

Quote from Aacron

Is there a way to check to see if there is a non-air/flowing water block between the engine and the source block, so that engine control is usable?

Why do you need the ECU for the hydrokinetic? Also, that would block the paddles.

I finally fixed an old functionality of the floodlight:


And added a new feature:
