    Can any machine plant a rubber tree without humus?

    Turtles terrify me. I wish I had the time to learn how to program them, but I don't. Plus I'm studying ME not CS. I guess overly complicated systems with little programming are more of an ME thing :P.

    Can any machine plant a rubber tree without humus?

    Well you could use a RP2 deployer. It mimics the right click action, and will "right click" with the items you give it. You can give it saplings and it will plant them. So I guess you could replace the farm's auto planting with this, and still use a logger to collect/feed saplings to the...

    Matter Fabricater Fuel

    That's odd. I've been using ender pearl dust pumped in from my farm for a long time. It doesn't make it faster, but it only uses 4 dusts instead of the 30 or so scrap per UUM created. I'm on the latest Mindcrack, no config tweaks.

    Mining turtle command question ( solved )

    If your end goal is just the cobble farm (not necessarily messing with turtles, there are far easier ways to do it. I did a RP2 block break setup once that worked really well. But even easier is the igneous extruder from TE.

    [HELP] Mining turtle

    Good to know. I only ever really use excavate or tunnel. I don't know how to code :)

    I wonder if you can craft a soul gem with repair, and just let it regent into a tier 5

    Does silk touch work as well? That'd be a nice one to slap on well, anything but a rockcutter.

    Holy hell I didn't know you could apply enchants to those items! What have I been doing with my life?

    [HELP] Mining turtle

    I'm actually still having this problem, even though I use a a chunk loader that very easily covers the area of my 4 turtles. Each turtle also has multiple hundreds of thousands of fuel, and a chest to dump in to. If I leave the area, even just for a moment, I come back to them frozen in place...

    Item Transportation

    Yes they're made with bronze, similar to BC pipes. Transposers don't need any weird things to build, but the more powerful filters need a red doped wafer, which is made with RP2 processes. Timers, another essential part, aren't super crazy to build either.

    Item Transportation

    Is there any particular reason you're using BC pipes instead of RP2? If the issue is just familiarity, I'd suggest just learning RP2 tubes, since IMO they're better in every way. They don't eject items if an inventory is full. They move fast in the pipes. They only need redstone to power...
