I'm enjoying it so far, but one thing annoys me. You stress how we're to be using ProjectE then make quests that keep us from actually using it to make our lives easier. Once I had a single survival generator, why did I need to craft another four of them when I could just pull them from my...

You can't perform the ritual activation. You trade one unactivated sigil for 2 activated ones in the quest "Cursed Rituals" in section 2 of the quest book.

If you have access to Dartcraft, you can get a ton of Silverwood Saplings by destroying the leaves with Force Mitts. Would be a simple task to set up a bunch of high value Pure Aura nodes around a base anywhere you wanted to build one.

With 13 overclockers in a furnace, along with 2 transformer and 1 storage upgrade you can reach the limit for all overclocked machines, 20 operations a second (1 per tick), but you'll also need 1351 EU/t supplied to the machine.

Yes, you can use your computer as a server and play on it. I do the same with a couple of friends with a 3.4 Ghz processor and 8 gigs of ram without any performance issues.

Don't always need a "best" way. I usually end up with an automated full sized liquid boiler. Yes, I know it's not as efficient as several small ones, but I like giant machines in my workshops. I've done it a couple of ways so far, the first was Buildcraft fuel production from forestry farms...

As opposed to what, a cow in a box getting you over 500 diamonds an hour for free? Collectors were always a horribly inefficient method for getting EMC compared to the alternatives.

So do Xycraft tanks; other than the edge blocks of the tank, you can use glass. Even better looking is to use Xycraft Glass Viewer blocks to make your tank walls. Xycraft also gets a few extra style points since the edges can be any solid vanilla block, like nether brick or gold blocks.

If you're looking to automate, use Forestry to set up Tree Farms, a Wheat Farm and Peat Bogs. The Bog produces dirt, which you can turn into humus for the tree farm and peat you can burn in your firebox. The Tree Farm produces logs to saw into planks and sawdust to turn into charcoal, as well...

Soul Stealer IV on a Nanosaber makes short work of "kills required".

And if you really want solar, you don't exactly need Advanced Solar panels. You could easily wire a single array of nearly 1700 regular IC2 solar panels to your grid with nothing more than tin cable. And with RP2, setting up a line to build solar panels from raw materials isn't exactly rocket...

My first two large scale projects were a 1:1 scale Roman Colosseum and an underwater dome from bedrock to just over sea level (built into a hollowed out bowl so the dome didn't look like it was in at the bottom of a pit). Both of these were completed in vanilla, the Colosseum I started with...

The more recent versions of TE will fix that for you. Smelt a block of ore and you get 2 ingots as usual, 1/5th of the time you also get Rich Slag. Smelt 2 dusts (gold in your case since that's what you need) with Rich Slag, instead of sand, and you get 3 ingots. Basically every stack of ore...

I've done pretty well with nothing more than a flat, plains, always day age (with an occasional side trip to an age to breed a bee to take back to the plains). It's been fine with the Basic Bees (Common, Cultivated), Industrious Line, Imperial Line, Heroic Line (with one short trip to forest to...

Not really needed since you can now directly set the heat level of a reactor to any level you like and just leave it there. There is a design on the IC2 forum that recharges 88 cells per Uranium Cell used and requires no maintenance or special heating. You build it, it heats itself up to 64,000...
