In my Infinity play I power Excavator only periodically from a resonant energy cell (TE). When it runs out, I plug it to charge from my standard boiler+steam dynamos (will need to upgrade to turbine someday) till it's full, when it gets plugged to excavator again. It takes 10 or more times...

You probably meant Seed Oil, not Ethanol, as that's what seeds in squeezer make. 1. If one machine with +10 range can't keep up with the huge crop area, just make 4 machines with +5 range, so that they have 4 times less crops to take care of each. 2. Grow Industrial Hemp, not Wheat. It produces...

Well, the one issue I see with the generator is that assuming cobble is produced 1 per second per generator (6/second total), the first piece of octuple compressed cobble is expected to arrive around the half of the third month (real time) of non-stop operation. If it's 1 cobble per tick, then a...

I would simply use BC gates set to detect "empty inventory" in the generator and activate the redstone engines pulling charcoal out of closeby storage. It would result in short power generation interruption (time before charcoal is extracted and arrives at generator). Note that due to this delay...

I had some very weird issues with IE version included in Infinity Evolved, but when I updated to latest IE, everything was fixed. I know there was some loading/saving bug with the IE energy net that got fixed in the two versions between Infinity one and latest.

A few energy setups just for fun and reference. All use Reika's equivalence between RF/t and Watts (1 RF/tick = 520 Watt, source: recent post by Reika here http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/how-would-you-power-a-large-player-run-city-without-the-use-of-big-reactors-and-tesseracts.109476/...

For me it helped to go into launcher options (edit: and then in Advanced Options) and changing download location. Seems like the automatically selected download location (by default it's automatic) has some error in modpack list or something, and the launcher isn't smart enough to skip 3rd party...

If I remember right: Extreme Hills+ would be I think BoP (Biomes o Plenty) biome, which is exact copy of Exteme Hills except... more extreme (I think, not sure) Eldritch Biome is a biome TC obelisks (that contain dark nodes) make around themselves. I think it does count as magic biome, and...

If you have RotaryCraft, you get Iridium out of Silver in Extractor (statistically it's 1 iridium ingot per 150 silver ingots, which means about 30 ores with extractor quintupling). So far in my game, I got several iridium ingots that way.

The issue of filling DSU with octuple cobble was considered before: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/challenge-denied.32036/ Bottom of page 4 (at 20 posts/page) of the topic has my 2 posts regarding the scope of the issue (you need to dig up approximately 1/3 of the whole world) and...

Not sure about TC4, but in TC3, if I remember correctly, the smart wooden golems were able to pick up items selectively, so you could assign one to wheat barrel and tell it to pick up wheat only, and a second one to seed barrel and tell it to pick up seeds only.

I have encountered such fire twice too (both on the same sky island close to portal). I think they may be caused by lightnings. Seems that while the weather in Promised Land always looks nice, if there's thunderstorm in overland, some occasional thunder also happens there. Or that's the most...

Well, given the size of the undertaking, I would suspect that the only "realistic" method is creating a self-replicating machine that also generates cobble. A million cobble gens produce cobble 1 per second each, it takes around 2700 years, as previously calculated, to achieve the goal. However...

Fun fact: You know how the minecraft world ends at 30000000 meters away from origin on X,Z axes ? This impossibly far away distance that is impossible to reach without teleportation ? You need dig up about ONE THIRD OF THE WHOLE WORLD to fill DSU full of octuple compressed cobble. One third of...

ESCF is the way to go - that way you can keep the thumb on C and have one finger/thumb for each direction without any strange squeezing. Oh, and sneaking ("shift") on Q for the little finger, so it's always at hand and doesn't interfere with directions.

This has nothing to do with 3x3 grid. It's about more general trend that to get some goody thing you need far more searching for rare resources than complex processing that is the core of real industry.

For me, it's going in right direction. At the moment most industrial mods have almost no complexity, and to make something, you just need to get that "one rare resource" (which for magical reasons so often turn to be diamonds) and suddenly you have a machine. It makes material processing just an...

Just a sort-of-related question: if you have gregtech, why not industrial-centrifuge lava ? Lava yields copper, tin and electrum in copious amounts (along with tiny amounts of tungsten), turning nether into nigh-infinite easy-to-automate mine for all basic metals except iron (for which you have...

I recently built a ultra-boiler (maximum size High Pressure, 36 blocks) and hooked 2 steam turbines into it. Planning to use biofuel (from wheat and saplings) to heat the boiler. The boiler produces 720 steam, which runs 2 turbines at full power (640 steam) and has enough steam for 8MJ/t extra...
