That's actually a great idea, you could even have items just enter the charging station for 15 seconds worth of charge at a time, and if you think they need another 15 seconds worth when they come back you could just send them round again. Sometimes quick and dirty is better than high tech. :)

I usually go with Magmatic engines to start with, running on some lava pumped out of a volcano or other overworld source. Sometimes I even just scoop it up out of surface lava lakes with tin cells. The TE engines and machines scale their power nicely according to need so I reckon they're good to...

What's vanilla? There was a guy a while back asking 'How do I breed chickens now? Wheat didn't work, does a mod in FTB change this?'. I don't blame him at all, we're a bunch of vanillaphobes round here. Blame Direwolf. :p Anyway cheers for the info Saice, I'll be making use of that trick.

I did a few tests because I was interested and as I thought Redpower works a treat. You can use a retriever to a tube on top of your IC2 storage unit, with a full batpack in the retriever's inventory. If you watch a batpack charge with NEI's item IDs on you can see its damage value decreasing...

Not only do routers make a network out of all touching inventories but out of all inventories touching those inventories in any direction, including other routers. One day (possibly when there's more router upgrades for supplying inventories and things) I'm going to have all my machines and...

Celestial is right, unfortunately Flowerchild and Forge do not mix whatsoever going on what I've read. I'm only familiar with the earlier political sh*tstorm he was involved in but I'm not surprised he's got into another one over a Forge/BTW crossover. Aside from that I think the problem would...

Allo mukka, welcome to the forums! A real live forestry worker eh? Cool! I'm afraid I cant help you on the server front but have a browse through SMP Server Promotion. You might not find a beginner-focussed one but I'm sure there's a slot for you somewhere. Even if you end up with experienced...

Hey, welcome to the forums! Well said, having an 'officially' modder-supported pack makes a change from the days when the only modpack in existence was considered blasphemy. :p Avatar uploading is apparently somehow broken at the minute (a few people have mentioned having problems in their...

SMP Server Promotion is the place to go for servers, you'll probably be required to do a whitelist application for most of them though. Not every server expects you to be an amazing builder or whatever but having some examples to show will help your chances of getting a place on a good one.

My main node was naturally fairly large at 510 aura and I managed to grow some pure nodes about 12 or 15 blocks away. You'll notice aura flying about between fairly distant nodes though so I don't think it would matter if it was 15 blocks or 50. Also I forgot to mention in my last post that...

Hey Dano, welcome to the forums! It's hard to know where to start with mods especially for a new minecraft player but thankfully there's a lot of knowledgable folk round here willing to help out the newbies. Don't be afraid to ask if you have questions on anything. :) Here is a very good...

Yeah bang on Golrith. There's hints at more tools, dyeable windmill sails, more stuff in the compatibility module and high energy consumption machines in the spotlight alone. She's starting to fill out uses for a lot of the world gen stuff, flax has got infinitely more useful in this update and...

Looks straight up amazing, I love the new lamps, the sickle, the windmills, the managers. I'm glad she didn't just do a quick port of the old content to 1.4, the new stuff is well worth the wait. Cheers Elo!

It depends on what kind of node you started off with, the nodes around your main node and a lot of other factors. Silverwood trees do help get rid of flux slowly over time but the effects they have on aura nodes can actually bring more flux to an area. From what I've found out so far planting...

Just finished Dire's spotlight videos and I'm blown away, well worth the wait. Those new lamps are straight up sexy. Can't wait 'til tomorrow! :)
