The ingame books and guides help, but may not be the droids you are looking for.

Yeah they provide some guidance but was looking for more details than that.

There is for the smaller tools, whereas its TE head durability Times the handle

Multiplyer to et the durability, and speed is determined by the head. The binding simply adds that effect, obsidian (reinforced 3) or paper (extra modifyer) are usually recommended.

As to which parts effect what in the new big tools,

I don't know.

I've begun to experiment and find out how that works, and found out a few things:

Durability seems to be the (toolhead plus large plates) multiplied by (arbitrary number) multiplied by (average of binding and rod handle modifiers).

Speed seems to be average of toolhead and large plates, mining level seems to be based on toolhead only, and abilities are gained from each single piece applied.

Note that for the large tools, the handle modifier of the binding affects durability, contrary to how it works on small tools.

For the hammer the (arbitrary number) is 3, for the lumber axe the (arbitrary number) is 2.8. Haven't checked others apart from that.

Note that the durabilities are insanely high (9 times for hammer, 5.6 times for lumber axe) so repairing is more expensive/slower than usual.

Just had to say. This is the most horribly inefficient thing Ive ever seen in my life.

But its beautiful. ;-; Are electrical engines good for what they do? Is using energy conduits any good? I originally had them powering a redstone cell into the pipe, but then I figured maybe I could power the pipe directly, and whoda thunk it? It works. Its like a beautifully ugly horribly inefficient bundle of energy. I almost want to make more machines that use this energy over my compressors and extractors because redstone energy pipes look so nice compared to glass fiber cables.

Are there any decent Reactor set-ups for 1.5.2 or perhaps a few versions previous for high energy output, preferrably mark 1. All the designs I have seen so far have used singular uranium cells, no duals or quads. This is what I have found so far that I like. Guess I'll have to make multiples of these as they only output 230EU/t

The general reason for use of single cells is due to them being FAR easier to automate, and because they won't continually consume copper each cycle.
GregTech makes the costs bearable due to lava centrifuging and by dramatically reducing the copper cost of multicells, but they still tend to be favoured for single cell designs due to this.

The Buffer from tubestuff would work, not sure if you have that though.

The autarctic gate set to constantly pulse (redstone off=pulse) would be by far the simplest solution and guaranteed to work, and one can add additional wooden engines if more speed is needed.

The loaders themselves have an inventory, and this would be best tested in a creative mode world first, but this may be best.[DOUBLEPOST=1372594877][/DOUBLEPOST]Anyone know exactly what focuses for the MFR laser make it search for what?

I know someone did a big excell document in it, but its list somewhere deep in 200+ pages.
Finding and reporting that would be perfect.

For the Beta pack v0.7, what is the key binding for the minimap? I have tried every key, but nothings brings up the options.

 

[Heliomance]

I am using FTB light (1.4.7).

What exists that 1. Is an inventory that I can attach a wooden golem to, and 2. Ejects automatically into buildcraft tubes. ?

I first thought, 'relay' but that does not. But relay with an obsidian pipe one away does.... it's not elegant and it confuses the wooden golems.
Next thought, any chest, wooden pipe, autaurtic gate. If I get no better simple answer, I make this.
Railcraft unloaders, advanced unloaders. This would mean asking the golems to load into railcarts... (Nope, not valid.) ... unless you folks have a better way?


(no, FTB Light does not have tubestuff)

Buildcraft Hopper

I am using FTB 1.5.2 BETA pack - No greg tech
I've made a few lasers for the assembly table but when I connected it started to drain power from the network but it wasn't doing nothing
what can i do to stop it from draining power?
In this image I disconnected from the network
I need to learn how to use Spoilers

how much energy where you giving it?

 

[unspunreality]

Anyone here use the secretroom mod? Its pissing me off trying to set down one way glass and Im wondering if there is an easier way to do it.

My problem is the two stone blocks(Which are one way glass) They refuse to take the look of dirt no matter what I do. Same down the entire line. That one random glass block was some random miracle of luck that it looks like dirt.

 

[Shenzo]

I had a redstone energy cell with 100k MJ outputting 100 mj/tick and when I turned off the engines it drained

"M", but you have to unbind "M" from the other uses before (there are two, i think they're mode and some train stuff)

The answer to such a question depends entirely on whether or not you run GregTech.

And if you do, it depends entirely on which version of GregTech you are running.

And finally, it depends on how much nuclear fuel you have to burn. High EU/t is synonymous with low efficiency, meaning you burn through your cells quickly. High efficiency will give you lots of EU per cell, but EU/t will be lower because efficient cell setups run very hot.

Is there a player detection block with a variable/customizable detection range?

Pretty sure OpenCCSensors has that functionality.

 

[natnif36]

The GT player detector emits Redstone signal strength based on player proximity, so that could be used if your not into ComputerCraft/Dont have OpenCCSensprs in the pack your playing.

Small question. Whats the absolute fastest way to personally mine obsidian? Aka no quarreys/turtles/etc. I want to mine it myself but everything I have atm is slow. Any mod, I probably have it. Just dunno what items to use.

Fastest, but dang expensive: Vajra
Fast-ish, no diamonds required: RP2 Block Breaker + Button
Coolest: Wand of Equal Trade
What you'll probably end up using: Advanced Diamond Drill/MPS Power Tool (can be enchanted with Efficiency via book if you really want more speed)

TConstruct Cobalt Pickaxe with maxed redstone upgrades. No contest.

Waitwait. You can wand of equal trade obsidian!?

...What have I been doing with my life? I can just turn it to dirt then MPS it away. Im such a dummy, why didnt I think of that?
