How are the accumulator connectors configured? They might just be pushing power back and forth between them. Make sure you've got dedicated 'push' connectors for charging the accumulators and 'pull' connectors for consuming the energy and avoid looping pull to push.

Yours is the only opinion that matters. Do you like it?

Don't look to the internet for validation of your choices.

You can see further savings on chicken by buying and roasting them whole. An entire chicken at our grocery store costs less than a pack of two breasts. After baking it and carving it up, you can then toss the carcass and trimmings into the pressure cooker along with cut-offs of onions, carrots, celery, etc. to make a very tasty chicken stock.

How many top layers is your slicer set to create? You could try increasing that number.

Yes, each section of chain has a max number of packages. 20 is the default, I think.

When a nuclear meltdown is the consequence, I'd make sure everything keeping the reactor running is being powered by 100% reliable water wheels or wind turbines instead of the reactor itself.

Set the funnels to only transfer whole stacks.

I'm at forge level 32 and I have to disagree. The ~40% reduction in DPS isn't worth the ~5 seconds of free attacks.

Does F3+A to reload chunks clear it up?

But a blaze cake lasts wayyyyyy longer than it takes to mix up a single brass ingot, so it makes sense that you're ending up with an overstock of blaze cakes.

I would have a separate distribution method for the cakes that only sends them when they're needed.

The technique I find works for me is to move each processing step away from the previous by at least 3 blocks so that you can clearly see each independent machine. That way it looks much more like an assembly line and less like a jumble of parts. Then, I try and build each machine with as much symmetry as possible.

As things get more advanced, I'll try and make each machine general-purpose and deliver goods to and from them by chain and pacakgers. For example, the hydraulic presses, smelter, and crushing wheels in my metal processing plant:

Yeah, I was gonna say. The key is to set the swivel bearings to always be unlocked. Then your character can open and close them freely.

You could also set them to lock with a redstone signal.

Do you mean syncing both doors so that moving one equally moves the other? I've tried this as well but didn't have any luck.

bendvis

That sounds like it could work, but it feels like unnecessary extra complication. Instead of figuring out how to stop the vault from loading when it has the right amount, you could just stop loading the train when it has the right amount.

bendvis

🙄 Spare me your long-winded and pedantic explanation please.

bendvis

It's possible, just not very easy. When the Portable Storage Interface is connected to the train, it can be treated like any other storage block. You could set up a threshold switch for each item and use the redstone signal it generates to disable a funnel when the required amount is reached during loading or unloading.

In your example of the rails, you'd want to set up 2 switches, one controlling a loading funnel that activates when there are fewer than 2000 rails and another controlling an unloading funnel that activates when there are more than 2000.

More specifically, the guy that got hit is the Back Umpire or Field Judge.

The metal it's finding are the nails or screws that hold the drywall to the studs. They won't be perfectly lined up, but they do indicate where the stud is.

Dead center in the stud is ideal, but not necessary. The stud is 1.5" wide, so you've got .75" - 1" of wiggle room for a secure mounting. Line up your bolts with the dots you've marked out and you should be good.

What could it be? Broken.

Here's the current mesh on my N4+, achieved with screws_tilt, silicone bed springs, and printed leveling locks. The best I've ever had was around 0.11

There's not going to be a master guide for your specific modpack.

Get EMI and look at the recipes for each item you want to automate. The majority of items can be automated with a 3x3 mechanical crafter and some factory gauges.

Create: Configurable Crushing Wheel will let you select which recipe the crushing wheels make.

Agree completely. I don't need my neighbors two doors down with all their doors and windows closed to hear me every time I'm backing out of my driveway in my '22. I've heard other Rav4's around with much quieter warning systems and I wish there was an option to turn it down.

For exactly the same price or cheaper. Here's an XS with the same graphic at Dennis Kirk for $100 less.

Here's a medium on ebay for the same price as Revzilla. Partzilla also has a medium for the same price.

I actually can't find this helmet with the same graphic in any size for a higher price anywhere.

Do you just enjoy being wrong?

If you could read, you'd understand that an exchange isn't an option. OP could return it for a refund and get a new one from another seller.
