A remodel to my machine processing area!

After realizing I need to have a bigger space and having three seprate buildings was kind of getting in the way, I remodeled my base. During the remodel, I realized my machines were all two blocks taller than my floor for the new base, so I took the time to redo it and tried to despaghetti it. I also decided to try putting bronze covers on everything since I overcompensated my systems pipes with big ol’ pipes and got a new extruder to make the clean up easy. Here’s how it turned out, not sure if I like the look, but it was just something to try out, here’s my spaghetti free machine area:


Okay I lied, I shoved the spaghetti in the attic.

Very nice!

Have you tried using the ic2 painter on GT6 pipes? You can color them any way you like. I always color code my pipes.

You can alternatively dip the pipes into a basin full of dye, and make colored pipes that way.

Haven’t gotten to dyes yet, but I’ll keep that in mind for the future! Thanks for the suggestion!

You can already do Dyes, since you need to just mixing bowl a vanilla dye with some water to get basic dye you can use in the bathing pot.

I would never know that machines could be colored, if I didn’t accidentally use IC2 painter on some pipe or a machine. It’s cool that machines and other things can be painted.

The most dangerous steam project was 2048RF plant producting IC2 industrial diamonds from coal

i would say you need pressure valve on a very every steam pipe route, and yes, blowed up a lot of setups aswell, so my condolences

Gas burning boxes can have a redstone cover and turn off with a signal.

Of course, but covers are aluminium, and was not available at the moment of creation :}

Yeah, I got ADHD so making sure my pipes are all connected correctly is a challenge.

This is a great modpack for ADHD and OCD. I should know.

It’s what makes it a challenge! I’ll get it right eventually!

BEHOLD, MY FINALLY WORKING AND NON-EXPLOSIVE MACHINE AREA. I SWEAR TO GOD IF IT BLOWS UP AGAIN I AM GOING TO probably just start over again and be a little sad.


I made a basement for the boilers, no lights because they were naughty last time and I am using unethical punishment on these non-feeling machines to make myself feel better.
