Ah dwarf fortress, i've got so much love for that game. The new update sounds interesting, I might give it a go soon but I think its more likely i'll wait for another major update that focuses on Fortress mode.. I don't mind waiting another year =P. I made a post on reddit showing my best efforts in...

I'd love an invite!

Hey Gilberreke,
Just wanted to chime in to thank you for updating jolicraft to support this mod. I started a new world recently and this is the first BTW world i've used without JohnSmith.

Looking forward to BTB support!

That's a cool way of looking at it. It also hints at a possible future system that IS finite. Indeed it does. Much of what you said in your post above is similar to my own way of thinking of it and reflects some of the future plans I have for the mod. I think finite power distribution, and finite e...

That's possible. I had the very same problem in one of my elevators, and it was the one in the very middle of my Batcave (so full of redstone devices everywhere). But I solved it by applying the redstone signal to a single GB who splits in two to power the two pulleys, and not on the 2 GB next to t...

I just had a thought, this issue started after I built that piston door opener thing. At first I assumed that it was intefering somehow, but after many checks I confirmed that the systems were isolated. Is it possible that the amount of redstone in a chunk can affect the timing of devices such as pu...

Thanks for the comments and advice everyone! Very happy to see you having a peek flower =D. If you need any more information like a save file or something to get down to the bottom of it just say the word. I guess i'll redesign the gearbox area like Thalmane suggested and see if I can use that for t...

Maybe try and cut the power off where it splits for the two pulleys? I think I tried that... The problem there was my elevator is 4 blocks wide and I couldn't position the gearbox where the power is split in a way that both routes would be the exact same length. That is what your trying to say right?

Awesome world! I love the flying rock with the windmills on it!

Weird. As Thalmane said, it might be because of chunk lag, either at the gearboxes or pulleys. One easy way to check that is to look at the coordinates (by pressing F3), since a chunk is 16*16, if the line where the elevator "splits" has a value that's a multiple of 16, then it's crossing...

Does this issue happen if it's only a flat platform? One issue is you could have built your elevator on two different chunks. That seems to always cause timing issues with anything. I thought it could be something like that, and I haven't ruled it out, but the thing is that cage used to work pretty...

I've been working on a caged elevator that opens and closes. The elevator used to work when it was just an open cage but since installing some extra gadgets, no longer seems to sync properly when going upward. The thing is, when I completely disable/remove all the new stuff the sync problem still ex...

For compressing, I've found the freeware VirtualDub to be very good. I still use After Effects for editing but I think that it's possible to do it in VirtualDub as well (I think that's what Etho does at least) VirtualDub probably uses x264 for encoding, but if it edits half decently I suppose i'll ...

Just to mix things up here, I also use fraps for my vids, but I have not had much luck with freeware/open source video editors. In my frustration I went to a video encoding IRC channel and some guy gave me tips on how to encode with a program called "x264" and "AVIsynth". I punch...

The question was already answered, but I thought i'd throw my tutorial in here again, as it addresses how to go about this.

Loving the videos Battosay! I'm going to copy your reed farm now just because I need TONS of the stuff... i'm sure the other farms will get added in time ;)

Hey everyone! Very happy about these new forums. Now things won't get lost so easily and things will be less.. spammy..
