Or on this page http://ae-mod.info/Quartz-Grind-Stone/ Yes, use the crank. http://ae-mod.info/Wooden-Crank/ once it's installed, rightclick and hold. (any further questions, the guide of guides is in my sig)

You missed a step. Steps: 1. Apply Hand crank. 2. Click it. You have to do that first, crucial step, otherwise you just bring up the GUI. Pretty comparable to trying to turning on a fan before you plug the damn thing in.

You forgot step 0: craft the hand crank. C

If you are talking turtles, I'd like to see this. Turtle gets items from the chest, goes to the grindstone, puts items into it, then whacks the handcrank until items are grinded, then takes them out and maybe smelts them in a furnace. If turtle is used just for whacking the crank, it's not very interesting. Not really an exploit, just a bit... dumb. E

People claim it's an exploit because the point of the grindstone was to provide free maceration while requiring time consumption/self work. I actually think the turtle thing is pretty crafty, but then again they say it's not fair because you can just copy/paste the turtle program. But this is going nowhere and I think it's mostly been settled. B

Meh, I just think that power in mods is for using it, and not for "I can grind items without any power even though it takes much more time to do so". That's not OP/non-OP thing, just logic... M

This is my line of thinking. If the grindstone were the only means of doing this, I'd see the merit. Buuut, I skip completely over the grindstone because by the point where I desperately need double ores, I usually have a macerator and a generator. You must log in or register to reply here.
