I am indeed, v8b for all mods I have installed of yours (where applicable: Rotarycraft, Chromaticraft, and DragonAPI).

So I'm getting a "Ticking block entity" error from a crystal pylon in my world after updating Chromaticraft from v8a to v8b. It's not much of a problem for me since I can either stay with v8a or destroy the block before updating to v8b. Figured I should say something about it though.

Ah, a troll.

Wait, you're saying that skipping gasoline engines and going straight for performance engines is an unacceptable jump? I tend to use gasoline engines anyway since one can power a boring machine well enough and the decrease in operation time of a performance engine isn't worth the extra supply...

Holy hell, do creative coils always explode when placed by a survival player? One of my Boring Machines got jammed on an AE2 meteorite so I re-rigged my power system to divert all power to that machine. An 8x increase in torque didn't help the jam so I ripped up the last few gearboxes and gave...

That would be AWESOME! Pair it with the TiCon bounce pads to get self-sustaining "rides".

Eh, I've done max speed boring machines before and it's not bad at all. You're looking at 1 layer per tick and if you have 4 machines side-by-side it takes up 2 chunks. That means you're generating 2.5 chunks per second. For comparison the mod chunkgen, used to pregenerate terrain, is set to...

Huh, I'd just planned on putting an AE2 interface next to the boring machine.

Pretty sure Buildcraft pipes detonate at 500 items per pipe. A single maxed borer generates 700 per second. Not really practical.

Well, it does make for an interesting challenge to design around.

In the typical implementation it's not a problem. If you have generators powered by some power source feeding to a single line which you then use to power all your machinery, you probably have some machine which can use the excess power like a boring machine or something. It gets to be a...

Electricraft is tremendously useful with Rotarycraft and for the most part, it's pretty simple to figure out by screwing around in creative. The only thing I really wish was listed somewhere was the resistor codes. Here is an explanation of resistors by @Pyure that gets into the color codes...

Rumor has it that if you feed a machine 50GW, you can get it to perform two operations per tick.

From the v25 changelog: ReactorCraft: High-pressure turbine can now run on ammonia

Fair enough. Rotarycraft is one of the most extensive mods out there and you need to draw the line somewhere on what should be included. It's a great mod as it stands so do whatever holds your interest.
