Gt-new-horizons-modpack: Ideas for loading tips

[jackowski626]

Hello!
I would like to get some ideas for tips that will be displayed while the pack is loading. I'm looking for both, serious and funny ones but the first should prevail. Try to recall things you were upset no one told you before when you discovered them.
Edit: tips will be named after locale codes (fr_FR.txt would mean French tips. They don't have to match the English file at all) and editable in config. "#" acts as comment (only at beginning of line)

Edit: thank you very much for the tips so far +1
there is a line with credits now, with github unames. If you prefer another uname, or I have fogotten you, ping me on #github-discussion/#mod-dev

What I have for now [05/18/2020]:

Translocators can cause TPS lag. Avoid using them in large numbers.

Build multiblocks within the same chunk
You will lose your first piece of aluminium dust in the EBF

Transvector interface helps you expand available sides for automating a block.
Lava bucket will burn you if you don't wear gloves.
Steam output from bronze machine or within pipes can harm you.
You can apply fortune to brittle charcoal if you use the Charcoal Pile Igniter.

Transvector interface helps you expand available sides for automating a block.

Use a Machine Hull/Casing block, and it will feed power, fluid and item all taking a single side. Similar use if you want to extract fluid and items from a single side.

Why reinvent the wheel when at the fortunate too rare times Gregtech machines provides a service rather than fixing artificial problems created by Gregtech iteself like canners, food slicers, microwave oven...

Use a Machine Hull/Casing block, and it will feed power, fluid and item all taking a single side. Similar use if you want to extract fluid and items from a single side.

There are some edge cases where you can't use machine hulls if you want to make compact setups. Transvector interfaces cover those edge cases. But i do agree that the use of machine hulls is not well spread.

Please pay attention to Voltage and Amperage of cable/Machine, otherwise you may suffer a lot of damage!
Warp is so dangerous, it can destroy your base.
Voltage Tiers have 16 tiers from ULV(8V) to MAX(2147483647V).
Each time one tier is raised, Voltage required quadruples.
Currently (ver 2.0.9.0), 10 tiers from ULV(8V) to UV(524288V) are fully implemented, UHV(2097152V) and UEV(8388608V) are partially implemented, and the remaining 4 tiers are under development.

Empty your Backpacks, when upgrading them, otherwise you'll have a bad day...
Shift-clicking with a GT-Block on a cable/pipe/etc will make it automaticly connect. _(not sure about the wording on this one though)_

• Take your time to read the quest book, it explains many mechanics and offers more helpful hints and tricks.
• NEI has its own options menu with useful keybindings for bookmarks and other things.
• If it looks like an item does not have a recipe, it might be locked by Thaumcraft research.

[GTNH-Afx237v7]

It’s NEI, not JEI. Use it frequently.

[richardhendricks]

@jackowski626 Sounds like a great idea. There are a bunch of quotes collected from the Discord in the Readme
