Extra Utilities liquid transfer node? Not sure how you would place it though as it needs to be directly above the surface and the usual way is to pop a block of cobble into the water and break it afterwards. Might be able to place one on the ground and Force Wrench it into position to keep its orientaton. Back up your world first though!
I don't think so. MFR Harvester will cut down anything near it that even slightly resembles a tree, as long as it has no redstone signal so you could use a lever to turn it on. Oh, what I would give for an Axe of the Stream Turtle...
Couldent you put an axe of the stream or a dartcraft lumberjack axe in that Thamcraft(or is it Thaumic tinkerer?) whatitsname that can use items/blocks based on redstone signal?
Logs could easily be picked up by golem/obsidian pipe/hungry chest etc. You can even combine it with the Thaumostatic magnetizer to gather the items from a larger area(doing that with egg collection atm).
What I mean is, I suspect it will simply not work. It might break a single block like a regular axe, but I guess that the "special" mechanism of "all connected log blocks break and are magically transported into the player's inventory" will not work, because there is no player's inventory for them to go to. The obvious retort to this is, "but a harvesting golem has an Axe of the Stream and no inventory, and that works", but my reply to that would be: "No it doesn't have an Axe of the Stream, it has a Harvesting Core, which is a different item with different mechanics". I could be wrong - maybe Thaumic Tinkerer has specific mechanics to deal with an Axe of the Stream as a special case, but I think we'd have heard about it by now.
As I understant the original requirement, that is not what is wanted. A BUD will detect anything, for example a flower being planted or wheat growing, which is not a "directly touching block".
Yes, if you apply sufficient power to a wooden pipe it will pull an entire stack. Not sure how much power is needed, but a Redstone Energy Cell with a gate next to it signalling "items in inventory" empties a diamond chest in an anstonishingly short time. In newer versions of BuildCraft, there are 7 tiers of Autarchic Gate that pull 1,2,4,8,16,32,64 items at a time.
Yes you just need a more powerful engine powering the wooden pipe. A stirling or electrical engine should do. You can use pipe gates to turn the engines on and off when needed to save fuel/power.[DOUBLEPOST=1384963547][/DOUBLEPOST]
Or redstone energy cells yeah. However redstone conduits does not work.
It has the information about the gate and the word gate.

It is added by Tinkers Construct. Atm there isnt much use for it. Believe the only 2 things are the Heart Canisters and the... Something backpack.
