NEWS: Jetpacks are really fun.

Destro_Yersul · 10-30-2011, 01:35 PM

Other news: extra special LP episode will be up some time later today. Have all the footage, need to record audio. This one might end up being a bit longer, due to containing secret things.

That reminds me, I noticed in your last video that the audio commentary wasn't quite synched up with the rest of it. I could hear you reacting to things that hadn't happened on screen yet.

Destro_Yersul · 10-30-2011, 04:56 PM

That's probably due to the way I am forced to record the audio. I have to start the video playback, then the recording, or do it the other way around. I have no way to start both at the same time, and it is most annoying. Seriously considering Windows 7 right about now.

So yeah, they might get a bit de-synced by accident. It's really not my fault, just limitations of the software.

Sagitus · 10-30-2011, 07:50 PM

Hello,

Could I please be added to the whitelist for the server. Been playing minecraft for a while, but new to most of the mods used here.

username: Sagitus

Thanks

The Shadowmind · 10-30-2011, 09:38 PM

Is there a max speed of a Quarry, and if so how many steam engines does it take to reach it?

Iskandar · 10-30-2011, 10:33 PM

That..... is kinda complicated.

The answer is 9 energy per tick. Steam engines produce 1 energy per tick, released in pulses when the moving part of the engine fully extends.

Lava power combustion engines produce 1, oil powered is, I think, 2 and fuel powered is 5.

Redstone, btw, produces 1 energy every time the moving part extends.

Detrepid · 10-30-2011, 11:24 PM

Hey all new to the multiplayer server but I've been playing MC since Sagitus. I've been watching the MP lets play and now I want to get going with the mods you guys have set up and see what we can build together.

Iskandar · 10-30-2011, 11:34 PM

Both you and Sagitus should be whitelisted. Let either me or Domo know if there is problems

...wait, so steam engines do the same as redstone engines, but aren't as safe and cost fuel?

Also: welcome, you two.

No steam engines produce 1 energy per tick, with that energy released at the end of the cycle.
Redstone engines produce 1 energy per cycle.
Redstone engine, 1 energy per X ticks,
Steam 1 energy* X ticks, per X ticks, where X=number of ticks in the cycle.

9 steam, or 2 Fuel powered combustion engine should max a quarry then.

Iskandar's ep 14 is up. I really should be asleep right now, but can't sleep.

Iskandar · 10-31-2011, 01:13 AM

Yeah, episode 14

And found something epic is SMP, video incoming

Crossblade · 10-31-2011, 04:25 AM

Have the Zeppelins been fix in regards to that bug Lewis from the Yogscast mentioned? With the mining/oil pumping from a Zeppelin crashing the game.

Also, the chicken now needs a name; or is "Chicken Friend" it?

...

This has been narrowed down by the mod creators. Apparently the crash only occurs if you place the pipes below the controller block level. (Since that is apparently Y=0 and the pipes are hardcoded to not be able to go below that.)

The Shadowmind · 10-31-2011, 01:10 PM

I think the server crashed.

Domochevsky · 10-31-2011, 02:11 PM

It did. Someone (*eyes shadowmind*) tried to shift-click something into a full buildcraft container.

Restarted now. >_>

The Shadowmind · 10-31-2011, 07:55 PM

I think the additional pipes add-on has been finally updated for buildcraft 2.2.4

Is the episode ready, or have you run into technical difficulties?

Zain · 10-31-2011, 10:49 PM

I prefer eddy the dome chicken as a name.

He sits in his pen and plots. PLOTS I SAY.

EDIT TO ADD. Some sort of power storing system might be a good idea.

Logistical difficulties. Namely, I am nocturnal. I can't record audio at night without waking people up, so there's a window of time at either end of my day during which I can. I didn't get it done yesterday, and then today was Halloween and I went out to the bar with friends.

I might get it done this morning, but I have to work early tomorrow. It WILL be up, though, as soon as I can finish it.

Iskandar: Sorry about the teleporter confusion. I got stuck there at night, and I couldn't remember the waypoint for spawn. I ended up just hiking out to another teleporter and forgetting the way out there worked, but the way back didn't. Thanks for fixing it for me >.>

1. Why u no put up lights in pitch black areas? >_>

2. That melon farm needs to be spaced out. 12 out of those 18 stalks aren't gonna produce anything.

3. I like how you busted into Zains secret workshop of secrecy on camera, exposing the entrance.

Are you just really, really loud, or is everyone in your house a really light sleeper?

It's hardly a trap if it's clearly labeled.

Really? REALLY?

The lava flow that you saw was accidental (creeper explosion messed up the borders), but it was built by you. You can see the labyrinth project on the minimap. You helped me build the moat itself. You walked literally right past the train station of the rail line that Xeno and I have been building for months, and dismissed it out of hand. You did not go any farther down the Hall of Transport than Shadowmind's new industrial base.

All I ask is that you have some exploratory curiosity. No audience wants to visit the same location twice in a video, much less three separate times.

Worse. Light sleepers that insist I'm being loud when I just talk normally. Given that I need to boost the voice recording 150-200% to avoid complaints of being too quiet, I don't think it's me...

Yo, I covered the rail line two episodes ago, I thought, is the reason why I didn't go further that way. Spawn renovation covered the rail stations, and I know I pointed that section of rail out at least once.

Or at least I thought I did.

I'll go back and recheck, mind, and if I did not you have my apologies. It has gotten somewhat hard to keep track of what is new and what is not.

As for why I didn't get further down the Hall this time, I was trying not to overrun the clock. People complain when I push things past the 30 minute mark.

I will try to cover more in my next episode, though.

DreamingMage · 11-01-2011, 12:36 PM

I for one would not complain about an episode running over 30 minutes as long as everything gets covered. Perhaps when you are thinking of making a new video, you could post a day or so ahead of time and everyone can tell you what new stuff they've made that you should cover?

Iskandar · 11-01-2011, 01:01 PM

Basically, if you tell me on Thursday or Friday, it should get covered, as I tend to make these things over the weekend. Or at least I try to.

New episode incoming, and my apologies.

DreamingMage · 11-01-2011, 01:04 PM

Sounds good. I will try to remember to post Thursday reminding everyone to reply with lists of stuff to cover. Sound good?
