I use both Garden Stuff and Storage Drawers with Optifine and have no rendering issues.

Then it's going to boil down to individual system issues, but historically I've observed more problems with it. I've tried a couple different rendering techniques, but some group always seems to end up with Z-fighting problems.

Question: does it still have the issue when piping the ingots into, say, a drawer controller? Because I notice that a number of those ingots are in the big (max compress) slot, so i'm thinking maybe it doesn't matter if you pipe it in?

On this though, I have to say this is one of my favorite things about this mod, the oredicting. This mod is rapidly replacing JABBA as my favorite mass storage mod. And JABBA is amazing.

Yeah, it all uses the same logic. I'm sure there is a way I can work around the tiering problem, I might just not to leverage as much of the Forge stuff I'm using.

WOW that was VERY weird I downloaded the 1.8 version and when I booted up the game and went to the main page where it says single player multiplayer my screen was ALL white I couldn't see anything like single player ect. Once I deleted the mod from my mods folder it went right back to regular screen and I could see everything. Something MUST be wrong with that version.

I really wanted this mod and even had it saved on a notepad because when I first seen this there wasn't a version 1.8 for it so I copied it to my notepad so I could check back later to see if it had my version and now it doesn't work

It's strange that this would happen, but the mod is not actively doing anything until you load the world (end even then, not until you place a block). It may be a strange interaction or a coincidence, but there's not really anything I can investigate.

Status Update: I thought I would get some modding done this past weekend, but instead my operating system fried itself. I'm now trying to rebuild all my software stacks. Since I've also got Mysterium going on this week (any hardcore enough MystCraft players going?), I'm not expecting any updates until some time next week.

Couple of questions:

1. I've had people say that they can't access drawers when those drawers are "locked". But I thought all that locking did was prevent the slots from changing?

2. I've noticed rendering glitches specifically with redcrystal (from automagy) which seems to sort of flicker in and out of view on drawers sometimes.

That's all locking should do, yes. So far, the only case I've found where players can no longer access drawers is when they (accidentally) end up in Adventure mode. However, this would affects all drawers equally. This might need more investigation on your part.

Is it brightness flickering, Z-fighting, or partial object clipping? I've not seen this item specifically, but as an example there is brightness flickering with Applied Energistics 2 crystals/blocks that cannot be worked around, because those items implement their own rendering process. This could be similar.

Hey, Jaquadro!

I tried your mod before, but after a friend's gameplay I found the real possibility and great idea in your mod. I like to use it now, but I have a question:

Can you make corner drawers? When you place 3 drawers in a corner the center would turn.

Assuming this was balanced to vanilla, then the upgrade tiers are actually pretty good.

It does, but you could also just fill every slot with emerald upgrades.

Might be a bug then, but I have added multiple emerald upgrades and put stuff in past the first 13x limit

Stacking the same upgrades isn't a bug; it's just not well-advertised.

I've been aware that the obsidian level can be a little cheaty for a long time. It was balanced against vanilla accessibility, which is to say iron and gold are more accessible than obsidian in early game. Obsidian is easier to acquire in quantity later on, but a carefully balanced storage resource economy wasn't one of my key objectives.

Your final experience will be heavily dependent on your mod pack. Thermal Expansion will make obsidian more trivial, and magic crops will make the other metals and gems quite trivial. Integration with mods like Automagy will penalize you for bigger storage, so bigger is not be universally better. I even have an open request for storage reducers.

I expose all the upgrade multipliers and such in the config so you can balance everything around your specific pack or tastes.
