    my huge ae2 controller

    I thought controllers couldn't expand past 7x7x7?

    Facades (1.7.10)

    Look in the Creative Tabs NEI Subset - there's an entire subset in there for AE2 Facades.

    In-Game Textures are all Wierd

    AFAIK, MCPatcher does *most* of what Optifine can when it comes to graphics. It doesn't have the better, more finely-grained controls over graphics like Optifine does, but it does enable most of them. I've found that unless you have really recent graphics hardware, Ultra will nearly always bug...

    How Many Storeys does Your Base Have?

    I've found EnderIO conduits to be a good deal less laggy than most other alternatives, and they have the added bonus of being able to run an item, fluid, power, redstone and (except on 1.7 version) ME cable all in the same block space. Plus the connections seem to act like TE Ducts with a...

    TE needs a multi-io block / pipe

    OK, yeah, without adding a mod I don't think you can do that in AgS. For the issues with darkness being compromised in the mob spawner, try using opaque ducts instead. Couple with a microblock panel (I know, you said, don't bite my head off) you should be able to keep it dark, as nothing in the...

    TE needs a multi-io block / pipe

    Transvector Interfaces from Thaumic TInkerer allow you to connect ducts remotely (though MFR is a bit picky about that). Or try EnderIO; it can have Item, Liquid, Power, Redstone and ME in one conduit bundle. In 1.7 the ME one isn't there since it changed entirely. You can channel multiple...

    I can't use IRC.

    I'd like to know how you arrived at that conclusion. No pack I've used it with thus far has had any issues whatsoever, save for a little z-fighting on the front of JABBA barrels.

    The Overworld is Overrated (Nether-Only Picture-through)

    A mixture of Nether Bricks and the Natura nether woods for a bit of colour and variety?

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    ... that MFR now has Plastic Boots which stop you being caught by conveyor belts. I wish I'd known that before I'd fallen into my mob grinder on Agrarian Skies.

    Managing AE storage.

    Even repaired, items with damage values and/or NBT don't stack, so you'll still want to use a Filing Cabinet. If you still want to repair and you have AM2 available, set up a system to route damaged tools, armour, etc to an Arcane Reconstructor, and pull out the undamaged items. Just set up a...

    Managing AE storage.

    Not sure. I know you can use a Storage Bus on a sub-network's Interface to allow the prime network access to what it's storing. I don't think you can do the same with an ME Chest, it'd try to connect to the network.

    Managing AE storage.

    Yeah, that's one of the reasons I prefer JABBA's barrels. That and the way you can upgrade them to do various things - BSpace to effectively make them an Ender Barrel, Void Core basically adds a built-in trash can... The material costs aren't too bad. A good tree farm provides most of it. Four...

    Managing AE storage.

    If you've added a few extra materials to the JABBA list, they can go beyond that, and if you have MFR just switch to the DSU for greater density. Unless space is a problem, I find it to be a better solution - barrels are much cheaper and easier to make than 64k cells, and the only ME cost is a...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    Personally... I'm not particularly enthused by the new BC stuff. Looking nice is all well and good, but it seems to me more to be a combination of ignoring 'if it isn't broke, don't fix it' and an attempt to bring people back from TE without BC. There's suitable alternatives in most areas that...

    Managing AE storage.

    What you could do, resources and space permitting, is store any bulk resources in a barrel and just use an ME Storage Bus to give the ME network access to those items. Save your cells for the items you have only a few of, or aren't likely to have many of at any one time.
