    Attempting to autocraft tesseracts with AE: diamond pipes screwing up.

    I posted this video of mine last time this topic came up. The easiest way to deal with it in the context of Applied Energistics is to use a subnet for the liquid section:

    Mindcrack iron vs xycraft tanks

    I missed losing fabricators quite a bit, but I ended up getting over. The water and soil were neat, but I got over them as well with the addition of MFR. I really wish I had the soil for things you can't fertilize though... like Sugar Cane. Man.... With two layers of soil beneath them, I bet...

    How to autocraft tesseract with AE?

    +1 on using a sub network. In fact, this thread inspired the creation of the following video. Enjoy. Don't mind the teasing of the FTB Forum community, I love all of you, some brilliant things come out of this place:

    ME Network questions

    If you're using Applied Energistics rv12-a or later you'll have it. Search for @Applied in NEI, should be no issue. If you are running a version without rv12-a, Applied Energistics is VERY update safe, even with the new block IDs you shouldn't have any problem just dropping the new zip into...

    Good server host for a Unleashed server?

    10 People is not very many if you all live together in a base on top of Spawn -- since Spawn is always chunkloaded anyway. Lots of big community servers do things that way. I fired up a Resonant Rise server only to find that between all of the various multi-dimension mods (DimDoors etc) there...

    AE storage and MFR Deep Storage Unit

    If you stick a storage bus on an inventory -- and this could be a machine like a Furnace too, any valid inventory -- the contents of that inventory will be treated as part of the network and if that is the highest priority location (of course your disks will be higher priority) they'll go there...

    mystcraft, instable age and no idea whats causing it anymore.

    Agreed -- "Oil Block" adds a GREAT deal of instability. I've countered the Oil Block in an Oil Ocean age with Charged (knowing it will cause fire), Scorched Surface, and Meteors x 2 and STILL ended up with additional negative modifiers AND decay before.

    Good server host for a Unleashed server?

    If your server doesn't have enough memory you won't lag. The server will crash. Memory bandwidth can slow things down... but if Minecraft run out of memory it will crash straight up. How liberal are you with chunk loading? Ten people, each with around 200 chunks across three dimensions...

    Steam Boiler Help

    I'm thinking by your last comment, about different wood cutter types, that you're in 1.5.2 since the old version of Steve's Carts only had 1 cutter type that was invincible. Given that you need diamonds to repair that cutter fairly frequently, something like an MFR Planter, Fertilizer, and...

    Biomass creation.

    The saplings from a 3x3 farm can nearly run 2 36H boilers -- if you take all those logs and turn them into charcoal (or sawmill them into planks.... though I'm not a fan of that approach) you can easily fuel 2 more solid fueled 36H boilers off of a 3x3 farm with fertilizer.

    Biomass creation.

    What size area are you planting? Are you using a fertilizer? One of the huge mistakes people make with MFR tree farms is using upgrades and still filling the whole area with trees. If you use a fertilizer, you will have trees grow side-by-side-by-side and when that happens a HUGE number of...

    Bee Queries & Boiler Queries

    MPS flight gets a million times better in 1.5.2, there's a modifier in the table that allows you to change how much your direction of sight affects your direction of flight -- set to nothing it gives you full creative mode flight and not the stupid... "Where I look is where I fly" flight. For...

    Bees& Extra Bees! Help!

    Note that a bee will not produce things that are flagged as "Specialty" products unless they are in their ideal environment. You should be able to use the Alveary blocks that allow you to alter the environment to get these guys to work though.

    TREES? HOW DO THEY WORK?

    Extra Bees is now a component of Binnie Core, which has another element called Extra Trees. And yes, it does pretty much what the name suggests. He has not implemented Arborist machines that resemble the Apiarist machines from Extra Bees though.

    Eleventy-billion wither skellies and... one skull?

    You aren't that unlucky. The last time I did that the old fashioned way I ended up with 5 or 6 stacks of Coal before getting all three skulls. My advice is to get a Tinker's Construct "Cleaver" -- a higher tier weapon. They come with the "Beheading" trait built in. Alternately, you could...
