you need to make a square platform 5x5 blocks of "construction frame" then place the ring block in the center of the platform as part of the platform. then it should work however i have found that the= rings aren't totally reliable, they only work on some of my saves, but that may be as a result of other mods.

ok, thanks.

also last question, do the iris gates work?

Iris gates? Do you mean the irises on the gates? If so, the irises work with redstone but computer control is not working reliably.

I actually haven't tested the energy iris, so I have no idea if it works or not.

As for the transporter rings - you need to build a 5x5 square area with Contruction Frame, then replace the middle block with the transporter. You need two (one above the other) in order for them to work. Then you use the Transport Ring Activator to activate it.

Regarding the irises - Lochie has indicated that he knows what the problem is. Knowing that, I think it would better time spent to work on a fix instead of a temporary work around that'll just be removed later. Give it some time, the fix will arrive when Lochie has time to get to it.

the energy iris has no animation or model, though it more or less works as you cant get to the gate once its activated

So, uhm.... I love the way this mod looks, but I'm using update 21 (the one from the above link) and the control device has no crafting recipe. Is this a failure on my end because of mods installed, or do I need to find one somewhere? It doesn't appear in the chest loot tables, and I haven't seen one near the generated rings unless it was disguised or buried somewhere...

Off to adventure, I guess.

Update:

Went out, found another ring, tore the whole visible structure apart and found no controller/dhd. Sadface. If relevant, it was the sandstone one.

Hey Saraphae,

The mod is currently going through a complete rewrite, so some features are incomplete or missing entirely. I believe build 21 doesn't have a recipe for the DHD (you have to give it to yourself via creative). World generation is incomplete as of build 21 so that is probably why you aren't finding DHDs with the gates, either. Both Lochie and Michiyo have been pretty busy lately so development has slowed down, but the mod is still being worked on and these issues will get addressed.

Thanks for the fast response! Sadly, if I have to use creative to give myself the item I don't feel I will be able to utilize the mod, I'm trying to keep things entirely survival. Do you know if one of the builds is functional for 1.7.10?

Build 21 is currently the latest, and the most functional build for 1.7.10.

You could try the old version of the mod (prior to rewrite), but it has no world gate generation iirc - and it is rather buggy compared to the new builds, but it does have a recipe for the DHD. If you do decide to try the old build keep in mind that it is not compatible with the new build - when you switch you'll lose all your ore generation (it'll need to be regenerated) and gates, etc. You can find the old version on Curse, under other downloads - version 1.7.10-70. I wouldn't recommend the old version, personally, as it's no longer being updated...and once the new version has the features you want, you'll probably want to upgrade, which will mean losing all your ore generation, gates, etc. again.

I see! That seems problematic. I think the best solution for me, then, is to use a recipe editor to create a temporary recipe for the DhD until it is fully implemented. Thank you for the help!

FWIW, it's my understanding that current development is focused on 1.7.10 - once the devs are happy with the state of the mod in 1.7.10 then they'll look at developing for newer versions of MC.

not sure if this counts as pushing, in which case i apologize... but can we expect an update for 1.10?

@siskodefiant - I believe the plan is to first get the mod more fully developed in 1.7.10 before making the move to later versions of MC.

do i need the latest forge version

Hey Guys, Could you possibly give an approx time for when the next update will be released? Also would it be possible to make the ZPM RF or EU compatible?
